Food Prices Since Liberation Day - Is Up with Tariffs or PausedWhat is happening to the food prices since liberation day.
Soybeans are a benchmark for food prices — not only because China and many of us consume large quantities, but also because the U.S. exports a significant amount to China.
After the Liberation Day announcement on 2nd April, soybean prices initially dropped but quickly rebounded and surged higher.
Even after a successful trade agreement between the U.S. and China — which reduced reciprocal tariffs for 90 days — soybean prices continued to climb.
So why do food prices seem to trend higher, whether tariffs are in place or paused?
