Subject: Coffee Prices Are Going Parabolic...
Thanks to Trump.
Coffee drinkers are in for a jolt long before their first sip...
Retail coffee prices in the United States in August jumped a whopping 21% compared to the same month last year — the largest annual jump since October 1997, according to the latest Consumer Price Index,
released Thursday. On a monthly basis, coffee prices rose 4%, the most in 14 years.
One of the most heavily-tariffed countries is Brazil, which is the United States’ top source for coffee. Brazilian imports face 50% tariffs, among the highest that the US levies on any country’s goods,
because of Trump’s anger over the trial and recent conviction of former Authoritarian/Fascist President Jair Bolsonaro, a Trump ally.
Also just in: The U.S. Dollar has now lost more than 10% of its value this year. America is getting Trumped. :(
