Analyst: Car prices are rising again, but tariffs have little impact on core goods other than automobiles

Institutional analysts indicate that automotive costs seem to be rising again, with new cars increasing by 0.3% and used cars and trucks rising by 1.0%. However, the real headache is that the maintenance and repair costs for motor vehicles have increased by 2.4%. Fortunately, car insurance prices remained flat for the month. Core commodity prices, excluding new and used cars, rose by 0.13% in August, the lowest level since March. It is evident that tariffs have not had a significant impact at this point in time. The highest increase for this indicator occurred in June, at 0.55%. In July, it was 0.22%, meaning that this indicator has now slowed down for two consecutive months
