Charlie Bilello, chief market strategist at Creative Planning, reports that the U.S. collected a record $327 billion in customs duties over the last 12 months, more than triple the $94 billion collected in the previous comparable period.
Bilello explains that the majority of this additional tax burden is absorbed by U.S. consumers through higher prices.
Bilello has recently reported on other major shifts in key markets. He noted that U.S. gas prices surged 53% in 10 weeks, reaching $4.56 per gallon, the highest since July 2022. In an earlier update, he observed that South Korean stocks tripled in 16 months, outpacing all other global markets.
