US tariffs are expected to impact our next inflation figures, according to new reports. The rate increased in the three months to March to 2.5 percent - up from 2.2 percent to December. Petrol, milk, cheese, eggs have all gone up, alongside a dip in prices for international flights and games. Infometrics Chief Forecaster Gareth Kiernan says the new tariffs could push inflation down because of weaker demand. "And we know there will be some cost pressures that do rise because of the changing trade situation. So it's mixed, but the sentiment is pushing towards maybe a little less inflation."
