Fury as Home Depot does screeching U-turn on tariff price promise
Home Depot is preparing to raise prices, just months after promising to hold the line on costs. On Tuesday, CFO Richard McPhail said tariffs are forcing the home improvement giant to pass along higher costs to shoppers. 'Tariff rates are significantly higher today than they were at this time last quarter,' McPhail told The Wall Street Journal. 'So, as you would expect, there will be modest price movement in some categories, but it won't be broad-based.' The shift marks a reversal from May, when McPhail pledged to 'generally maintain our current pricing levels across our portfolio.' Home Depot, which runs more than 2,300 stores, has tried to diversify its global supply chain to be less reliant on China, which faces the highest tariffs. Half of its products are now made in the US. Still, analysts say tariffs are squeezing margins. 'Home Depot is finding that tariffs will bite in terms of its own costs,' Neil Saunders, retail expert at GlobalData, told Daily Mail. 'It will need to selectively raise prices on some products as we move through this year.' Still, Saunders noted that the company can't raise prices across the board. Rival chains have been merchandising lower prices to attract customers while mixing in higher prices, making it risky for any retailer to move too aggressively. 'Being competitive on price is key for Home Depot,' Saunders added. 'It will also not be alone. Other retailers, including other DIY chains, will need to increase their prices, too.' Still, Home Depot executives said they're confident the company can use its scale to bring some cost relief to customers. While shoppers might see price hikes on certain items, executives say the entire bill is cheaper at its stores. 'Our customers tend to shop with us for their entire project – not for a single item here or there,' McPhail said. The chain tells the Daily Mail that half of its product is made in the US 'For example, they probably aren't going to just buy a bathtub. They're also going to buy the tile, the grout, the shower head, the vanity. 'So, we're focused on protecting the value of the entire project.' Home Depot isn't the only retailer under pressure. Earlier this month, American carmaking giants Ford and GM slashed their profit expectations while reporting billion-dollar tariff costs this year. Walmart, Target, Best Buy, and Amazon all initially warned consumers that President Donald Trump's tariffs would continue to drive costs higher. Trump lashed out at the companies for making the pronouncements, urging retailers to 'eat the tariffs' and sending administration officials to call price hikes a 'hostile and political act.' The moves have largely silenced retailers from openly discussing price hikes. However, they're still slowly making their way through the economy. In July, core inflation rose to 3.1 percent, a 0.3 percentage point increase from June. Days later, the Labor Department reported that July's producer price index, which measures inflation before it reaches consumers, was up 0.9 percent from June and 3.3 percent from a year earlier.

She said she hoped finding the new coins in your change could "spark a rewarding hobby" for some, with the Royal Mint encouraging people to check to see if they receive any in the coming weeks.

There are about 24.7 billion coins in circulation across the UK, with the King's coins currently only making up 0.004% of those. Some 2.975 million £1 coins featuring the King were released last August by the Royal Mint, based in Llantrisant, Rhondda Cynon Taf. They feature an intricate bee design on the tails side, representing his love of nature. They are one of eight new designs that will eventually appear on the nation's coins, from the 1p to the £2. The country's flora and fauna will feature on them all, with animals including the red squirrel, puffin and dormouse they are the same size and shape as previous coins, the new designs feature larger numbers to help children identify figures and learn to count. The change of design followed the death of Queen Elizabeth in September 2022, and the accession to the throne of the new King. All UK coins featuring the late Queen's profile remain legal tender and in active circulation, alongside her son's coins.
