Impact of Proposed Tariffs: Retail analysts warn that President-elect Trump's proposed tariffs on imports, particularly from China, could lead to significant price increases for consumers across various retail categories, potentially raising costs by double-digit percentages.
Vulnerability of Retailers: Companies heavily reliant on Chinese imports, such as Five Below and Crocs, may struggle with profit margins and be forced to raise prices, while others like Bath & Body Works, which source locally, are less exposed to these tariff impacts.
