Акции Walmart сегодня утром упали примерно на 6% после предупреждения о том, что инфляционное давление может повлиять на скорректированную прибыль на акции в 2025 году.

Экономисты обеспокоены тем, что тарифы Трампа могут спровоцировать торговую войну, которая, в свою очередь, приведет к возобновлению инфляции в Соединенных Штатах.

Stocks Fall on Walmart’s Warning as Big Banks Sink: Markets Wrap

Walmart profit forecast falls short on economic uncertainty

Updated on 20 февраля 2025 г. at 12:03 GMT-5

Stocks fell from all-time highs as a disappointing forecast from the world’s largest retailer added to concern about the economy’s main engine.

The S&P 500 slid about 1%. Walmart Inc., the first big-box retailer to report results after the holiday season, sank 7%. Its chief financial officer acknowledged “uncertainties related to consumer behavior and global economic and geopolitical conditions.” That’s just days after retail sales signaled an abrupt pullback by consumers. A slide in banks also weighed on trading, with JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. down at least 4%.

Walmart warns of a slower 2025. That’s a bad sign for America’s economy

Shoppers flooded to Walmart for groceries and clothing last year. But 2025 will be trickier for the retail giant as inflation ticks back up and Trump’s tariffs kick in.

Walmart said Thursday that its sales and profit growth will slow this year. The forecast sent its stock tumbling 8% during pre-market trading.

Walmart’s outlook “assumes a relatively stable macroeconomic environment” but “acknowledges that there are still uncertainties related to consumer behavior and global economic and geopolitical conditions,” Walmart finance chief John David Rainey said on a call with analysts.

Trump's first month: Shock and 'Aww (expletive)!' But how is your life better? | Opinion

If your kink is watching liberals wail and gnash their teeth at the swift erosion of democracy and government agencies that help people, I'm sure the month has been a gas. But it hasn't helped a soul.

If your goal in voting for President Donald Trump was to “own the libs” and make fellow Americans you’ve decided to hate feel scared or miserable, then congratulations. The first month of the nation’s first-ever convicted-felon president has been a massive success.

If your goal in voting for Trump was to make your own life better, perhaps by lowering the cost of eggs and other groceries or entrusting a Republican to fiercely battle inflation, I have bad news for you. You were conned, along with millions of others, and Trump’s first month in office has demonstrated how little he cares about you or your day-to-day existence.

I realize facts are debatable things these days, but I'll share a few, regardless...

Border Patrol sees uptick in egg smuggling on southern border as prices skyrocket

The skyrocketing cost of eggs has prompted an uptick in attempts to smuggle them across the southern border.

There was a 29% increase in shell eggs being confiscated at ports of entry between October 2024 and February compared with the same time period last year, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the Los Angeles Times reported.

“It’s common practice to get some groceries or medication and cross the border,” Joaquin Luken, executive director of the Smart Border Coalition, told NBC San Diego, and he said people may not realize raw eggs are on the prohibited list...

Trump 25% Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum: 5 Ways They May Drive up Prices

President Donald Trump raised import duties on select metals, reshaping trade policy. Here's how it affects businesses, consumers, and the economy.

The revised tariffs aim to boost domestic manufacturing, reduce reliance on foreign materials, and address trade imbalances.

However, critics warn they could drive up costs for businesses and consumers while escalating tensions with U.S. trade partners. What exactly has changed, and what does it mean for the economy and for you?

1. Higher tariffs mean pricier raw materials
2. More expensive imports drive up consumer costs
3. Stricter rules could create supply shortages
4. Fewer trade exemptions mean across-the-board price hikes
5. Higher prices could hit everything from cars to canned goods

Researchers warn of troubling factor behind major spike in grocery prices: 'It's a legitimate topic people are talking about'

Food prices in the U.S. are rising at their fastest pace in over a year, hitting shoppers hard at the grocery store.
What's happening?
As reported by The Wall Street Journal, new data from the U.S. Department of Labor shows grocery costs increased by 1.8% in December compared to the previous year, while overall food prices rose by 0.3% that month.
A combination of factors, including avian flu outbreaks, extreme weather conditions, and supply chain pressures, has driven up the cost of essentials such as eggs, meat, and coffee.
Since 2019, grocery prices have climbed by nearly 28%, forcing many families to cut back on staple items or swap brand-name products for cheaper alternatives.
Eggs have seen one of the sharpest increases, with prices surging 37% year over year due to a deadly bird flu outbreak that has decimated poultry farms.

Why is food inflation concerning?

The rising cost of groceries is more than an economic inconvenience; it's a direct threat to food security for millions of Americans.

Households that were already struggling to afford fresh and nutritious food are now facing even tougher decisions, with price hikes making basic grocery trips more expensive than ever.

"It's a legitimate topic people are talking about and trying to navigate for their families," Heather Bowman, a Pennsylvania marketing director, told the WSJ.

Beyond economic hardship, the root causes of food inflation paint an even grimmer picture. Earth's overheating is a major factor. Extreme heat and drought conditions are disrupting agricultural production, causing prices to rise.

Coffee, chocolate, and grains have all been impacted by poor harvests due to shifting weather patterns. These challenges are not temporary; as global temperatures rise, the climate's instability is expected to continue driving food costs higher in the coming years.()

Can suspending a cage-free egg law solve the soaring price problem? Nevada takes a crack at it

LAS VEGAS — Back when egg prices remained securely under $2 a dozen in 2021, Nevada joined several other states concerned about animal welfare in requiring cage-free eggs.

Now four years later, a dozen eggs costs an average of nearly $5 in the U.S. because of the lingering bird flu, so Nevada passed a law the governor signed Feb. 13 that will allow the state to suspend that law temporarily in hopes of getting residents some relief at the checkout counter.

But it is not quite that simple, which is why the other six states with the same laws are so far reticent to follow suit.

By relaxing the rule, Nevada might get access to additional eggs, but the supply of all eggs remains tight because nearly 159 million birds have been slaughtered since the bird flu outbreak began in 2022 to help limit virus spread. The virus prompts the slaughter of entire flocks anytime it is found...
