This is strictly anecdotal, so take it with a grain of salt, but in my industry, everyone is currently selling through backstock, and all new product is on hold because of tariffs. So, that means the price increase from tariffs has yet to hit the consumer because, again, companies are selling through what they already have on hand. Will the tariff reduction with China hold? If it does, we should be fine. If not, prices will most likely increase over time.

When I say "my industry," I mean IP licensing. Our work touches everything from housewares to clothing to electronics and toys.

Yeah, about that 'Trump tariffs having little effects' idea...

Walmart CFO: “We’re wired for everyday low prices, but the magnitude of these increases is more than any retailer can absorb. It’s more than any supplier can absorb. And so I’m concerned that [consumers are] going to start seeing higher prices. You’ll begin to see that, likely towards the tail end of this month, and then certainly much more in June. ...If you've got a 30% tariff on something, you're likely going to see double digits [in price increases].”

But hey, I'm sure I'm just quoting people who have no idea what's going on again, right? I mean I can't imagine that the CFO of the largest retailer in America would have any real idea what kind of prices average consumers are going to be paying soon!
