Perhaps the biggest surprise from Friday’s historic Supreme Court ruling striking down President Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs, is that there really weren’t any surprises.

Today's Top Stories - February 23rd

According to Yale’s Budget Lab: Before the IEEPA tariffs were struck down, the overall average effective tariff rate for imports was 19.6%. Immediately following the SCOTUS ruling, the rate fell to 9.1%. After the 10% across-the-board tariffs were imposed Friday night, the rate rose to the level of 13.0% for at least the next 150 days. Complicating matters, on Saturday President Trump announced the tariff rate would 15%. Adjusting for that adjustment, the net effective rate should be 14.95%. Therefore, the net effective impact in real-time is that approximately 24% of imposed tariffs were eliminated by Friday’s Supreme Court ruling.

If a 45% dip wouldn’t derail your life, you’re probably golden. If it would? Time to call a pro and build a plan that doesn’t leave you sweating bullets—or making mistakes.
