Tariff killing shopkeepers in Canada and The us, Lobla Shops with some costs, in a position to develop in Walmart

A trip to the store is going to be more expensive for shopkeepers on both sides of 49th parallel, as pre-tariff inventory runs in Lobla Store and Walmart is ready to increase prices in America

Loblaw cos. Limited Chief Executive Officer copy said on Wednesday LinkedIn Post The number of tariff-hit products at the grocery store may soon be a spike, as the products brought to Canada before the business war starts, which is bought from the store shelves, which means that the prices of some goods will also increase.

Meanwhile, Walmart said that the tariffs implemented by US President Donald Trump should increase prices in American shops due to high cost, after the announcement of the first quarter profit.

Loblaw has been aggressive in marking which products are affected by tariffs, a tally that is limited to more than 1,000 items so far. But this will exceed 3,000 next week or within two, and according to the bank’s post, can be more than 6,000 times within the next two months.

He said, “While the tariff situation between the US and other countries can improve, it is not so far in Canada. In fact, we will face a large wave of increase in tariffs in the next weeks,” he said.

He said that tariff affected items would still be responsible for a small portion of about 80,000 items in the company’s shares, but customers will see changes in categories including natural foods, pantry staples and health and beauty products.

“It is good for Prime Minister Carney and other leaders to engage in dialogue with American officials, as we are all expecting a rapid de-size of this situation.”

The bank also said that it was pleased to see that the federal government had changed its counter-tariff policies to limit the allegations of food products coming from the US in the mid-April, the government announced several adjorts of $ 60 billion in the counter-tariffs declared in March to reduce the burden on cannadian companies and consumers.

An important remedy for Grusters was a six-month suspension of the counter-tariff on a wide range of canadian manufacturing, processing and American goods used in food and drink packaging. This means, for example, that a Canadian company can import something like milk if it is used to make another product without additional counter-tariffs, but milk will not be exempted for retail sales.

Change means that Canada has essentially stopped all its counter-tariffs, said Tony Sillo of Oxford Economics in a note. He said that change will reduce price pressure and will almost zero the increase in effective tariff rate on the US.

From the beginning, the counter-tariff yielded us like a late, which is particularly dependent on the Canadian market.

Canada’s counter-tariff usually targets items that have options produced in Canada, such as dairy, poultry and grain, mike von Maso, professor and food economist of a university of a university.

“They put them on things that were highly replaceable, so that if you were ready to make small changes, you were not going to be so impressed,” he said. “Now, if you are interested in Visconsin, especially in aged cake, it is going to go up in the price.”

While many items have not been directly targeted by Canada, there are indirect value pressure from other areas, such as American metal tariffs, and general uncertainty brought by the trade war, they said.

“Uncertainty with the US (is) has the ability to increase prices even in the absence of tariffs.”

While Canada has added several discounts in its counter-tariff measures, they remain on high-profile grocery items such as orange juices and alcohol, as well as hosting other products, including a glass jar from pasta to guinea foul without cooking.

Walmart will try to keep prices as low as possible: ‘CEO’

Walmart has built-in hedges against some tariff hazards. Two-thirds of Walmart’s goods are sour in the US, in which grocery items driving too much of it. Grocery items account for about 60 percent of Walmart’s American business.

Nevertheless, Walmart is not immune and that price has increased because the company works to absorb the costs of tariffs.

CEO Doug McMillan said in a statement, “We will try our best to keep our prices as low as possible, but given the horrors of tariffs, even at the levels declared this week, we are not able to absorb all pressure, given the reality of narrow retail margin.”

Walmart is one of the first major American retailers to report financial results, and the number can provide a signal as the mood of the American shopkeeper and how the tariffs are affected by the company’s business.

Future sales have become a concern for all retailers for several reasons. Many American are pulling back at expenses, as they become uncomfortable about the economy, and inflation remains high. Trump’s tariff on China and other countries threatened a low -price model at the core of Walmart’s success.
