In this timely episode of The Voice of Retail, host Michael LeBlanc welcomes back frequent guest and audience favorite Ira Kalish, Chief Global and US Economist for Deloitte, who is set to deliver the opening keynote address at Retail Council of Canada's STORE2025 conference on June 3rd. This conversation offers listeners a valuable preview of the critical economic insights Canadian retailers can expect from his highly anticipated keynote.As LeBlanc notes in the introduction, "I'm very excited that you're going to be here in person," highlighting the significance of Kalish's upcoming role in kicking off RCC's flagship event during this period of economic uncertainty. The episode serves as an essential primer for conference attendees and provides crucial analysis for all retail professionals navigating today's complex trade environment.Drawing on his deep economic expertise, Kalish reveals that average US tariff rates have skyrocketed to approximately 27% - levels not seen since 1903. This represents a dramatic increase from the previous 3-3.5% rates and has triggered significant financial market volatility, supply chain disruptions, and growing concerns about economic downturns - all topics he'll address more extensively in his STORE2025 presentation.The conversation tackles three major justifications for the new tariff approach: shifting from taxes to tariffs for revenue generation, rebalancing global trade priorities, and re-shoring manufacturing. Kalish systematically challenges these rationales, providing a preview of the economic framework he'll expand upon during his conference keynote.Particularly concerning for retailers planning to attend STORE2025, Kalish highlights data showing container shipments from China to the US are down 45% year-over-year, as importers either find tariffs too prohibitive or wait for potential policy reversals. This disruption threatens empty store shelves and significantly higher consumer prices in the immediate future - urgent challenges that will undoubtedly be central to his opening address.Continuing themes he'll develop further at the conference, the discussion also explores non-tariff barriers, currency manipulation accusations, and the possibility of regional "fortress" trading blocs. While Kalish doesn't foresee complete regionalization of trade, he notes that many countries are now working to reduce US trade dependence by liberalizing trade with each other.On a more optimistic note, the conversation concludes by examining how this trade crisis might catalyze positive economic reforms in Canada - a topic that will resonate strongly with the Canadian retail executives gathering at STORE2025.Listeners are encouraged to follow Kalish's weekly economic updates on Deloitte's thought leadership website at deloitte.com/insights, while also making plans to attend his must-see opening keynote at Retail Council of Canada's STORE2025 conference on June 1st, where he'll provide expanded insights on these rapidly evolving economic developments.  Michael LeBlanc is the president and founder of M.E.

Businesses in Ireland are taking a “wait and see” approach to capital investment, amid ongoing uncertainty over US tariffs. That's according to the Government's Annual Progress Report, which has been published. It highlights the unpredictability of US trade policy, as President Donald Trump continues to threaten sweeping tariffs. In the report, the Government has revised down its economic growth forecasts due to global uncertainty and warned that a transatlantic trade war will lead to a further economic weakening. It expects Ireland's domestic economy to expand by 2.5% this year, down from an earlier forecast of 2.9%. In the event of a tariff war between the EU and US, it said growth this year would be forecast at 2%, falling to 1.75% next year. Alan has been discussing this with the Ennis economist and Assistant Professor of Social Policy at UCD, Micheál Collins.. To discuss this further, Alan Morrissey was joined by Tulla-based Fianna Fáil Minister of state, Timmy Dooley.

On Tuesday's show: Last week, two economists spoke out about the impact of Trump economic policy on Houston. One said to expect a recession by the summer. But the other offered a much sunnier forecast. Could they both be right? Or both be wrong? Do economists really know what they're talking about? We talk it over.Also this hour: Many industries face an uncertain future with the back-and-forth on tariffs. What about the energy industry in Houston? And how is the Texas Legislature playing a role in all of this? Houston Chronicle columnist Chris Tomlinson shares some of his thoughts on the subject.Then, we learn about Free for All: The Public Library, a new documentary chronicling the evolution of the American public library, from the original “Free Library Movement” in the late 19th century to the present, when many libraries find themselves caught in the crosshairs of the culture wars and struggling to survive amid budget cuts and closures. Director Dawn Logsdon talks about her film, which airs tonight at 9 on Houston Public Media, TV 8.And Texas poet Ebony Stewart discusses her newest collection called “WASH.”

Africa Melane speaks to Michael Power, a consultant to Ninety-One, about the growing fears of a global recession in 2025. Based on a new Reuters poll, Power unpacks how former U.S. President Donald Trump’s sweeping tariffs, especially the 145% duties on Chinese imports, have shaken global investor confidence and triggered widespread economic downgrades.

Brian interviews Todd Hirsch. Todd is a Calgary-based chief economist, speaker, commentator and the author of "The Boiling Frog Dilemma: Saving Canada from Economic Decline". Todd Hirsch talks about trade wars, tariffs, what he thinks Canada needs to do now and his forecast for the Canadian and global economies.

In this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, I'm giving my take (to the best of my ability—because I'm not a tariff expert and neither are most of the people chiming in right now) on Trump's gutsy new tariff move. It's the one that's got half the country cheering and the other half clutching their pearls. While the media yells “economic suicide,” I'm here to suggest that this strategy might actually work—but not overnight. We'll talk about the possibility of long-term gain, the reality of short-term discomfort, and the cultural obsession with instant results when what's often required is patience. I will also go over our collective short attention spans and why longer attention spans are needed for understanding complex issues like this. Every answer won't fit in a 15 second soundbite. At the end of the day, we'll have to pray, wait, and see. Some of the smartest plays take time to unfold.—https://noblegoldinvestments.com/learn/gold-and-silver-guide/?utm_campaign=21243613394&utm_source=g&utm_medium=cpc&utm_content=&utm_term=noble%20gold&seg_aprod=&ad_id=698073353663&oid=2&affid=1&utm_source=google&affiliate_source=googleads_brand_bmbc&utm_term=noble%20gold&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAADQ2DzJSJ_mi5cJo8dO2FNUs7uNy-&gclid=CjwKCAjwktO_BhBrEiwAV70jXtjSCyioSM2Hz1McTAlR3f8t3KCDDN3-XBWLaIzwJmiEGe0ztxIk5RoCnM0QAvD_BwE

Dave shares his expert analysis on why mortgage rates haven't dropped despite Fed cuts, explaining how bond yields and inflation fears are keeping rates elevated. He predicts residential real estate will continue seeing price appreciation due to severe supply constraints, with homeowners "trapped" by their low-rate mortgages unwilling to sell. Dave also discusses his international living experience in Amsterdam, his personal investment approach focusing on long-term rentals rather than active operations, and why he believes investors should prioritize finding clarity in their goals over chasing door count. Throughout the conversation, both investors emphasize that meaningful success comes from enjoying the journey and being deliberate about your investment strategy rather than pursuing someone else's definition of achievement.

Ryan Unger, President and CEO of the Harrisburg Regional Chamber & CREDC says the capital region has a strong and vibrant economy. “Our unemployment typically mirrors because of the industrial mix that we have, and it remains low, some of the lowest since I've been doing this over 20 years, right? It's a little bit higher than it was last year, but again, that mirrors a lot of trends and the result of a bunch of different policy choices, I think the curve inflation to get us to where we're at, but we've seen growth in our employment and our population and a lot of positive trends here in the Harrisburg capital region, “said Unger. Central Pennsylvania also had the largest increase in remote work due to the business and professional services in our area. “I think certainly the continued impact of remote work we've seen impact us significantly. We have a project we're gonna talk about at our economic forecast luncheon upcoming, and we benchmark ourselves against other peer metros with similar economies and population, “said Unger. Ryotaro Tashiro, Outreach Economist and Advisor at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, says the economy looks fairly healthy and the job market has been experiencing some growth. “You know, professional services, eds and meds are really big in the area. The one thing I would add is that, you know, leisure and hospitality has always been, you know, fairly a big part of the labor market in the area, right, so we know that that sector of the economy lost a ton of jobs during the first couple of years of the pandemic. That particular sector has been rebounding fairly steadily and significantly. So, I would say those three sectors all happen to be service providing sectors, by the way, you know, have been the most important parts of the growth in the local labor market. And I don't see any reason why this will change in the future, “said Tashrio. Listen to the podcast to hear the entire conversation.
