  1. Target CEO Brian Cornell warned that produce prices could rise in the coming days due to President Trump’s new 25% tariffs on Mexican and Canadian imports, which took effect Tuesday. Target relies heavily on Mexican produce in winter, and items like strawberries, avocados, and bananas could see price hikes. While the company aims to keep certain prices stable, it may adjust margins elsewhere to offset costs. The warning comes as Target reported strong Q4 earnings but signaled a weaker outlook, citing tariff concerns and declining consumer confidence.

  2. China announced new retaliatory tariffs of up to 15% on certain U.S. goods, including corn and soybeans, effective March 10, and imposed export restrictions on 15 U.S. companies. The move follows fresh U.S. tariffs on Chinese imports, bringing the total new duties to 20% in just over a month. Beijing condemned the U.S. actions and warned of further countermeasures, escalating trade tensions. Analysts expect China to continue targeting politically sensitive sectors, with U.S. agricultural exports particularly vulnerable.

  3. New U.S. tariffs on imports from China, Canada, and Mexico are set to raise home construction costs by $7,500 to $10,000 per house, with lumber alone adding $4,900. Canadian lumber, already subject to duties, faces a 25% tariff, prompting supply concerns and price hikes. While Trump’s administration seeks to boost domestic production, experts warn new mills could take years to ramp up. Tariffs on appliances, drywall, and other materials may further drive up home prices, while lower mortgage rates provide some relief. The housing market, already struggling with low inventory and high prices, now faces additional uncertainty.

  4. Headlines

    1. The S&P 500 is less than 3% away from reaching correction territory following the implementation of tariffs on Mexico and Canada.

    2. Best Buy has warned that prices will increase due to new tariffs.
