When we initially built our economic model to estimate Price Elasticity of Demand (PED) across hundreds of products, we knew we were creating something valuable. But honestly, we never anticipated just how crucial this data would become amid today's escalating tariff wars!

Tariffs are making headlines more than ever—25% on soybeans, 50% on Harley-Davidson motorcycles, even 200% on certain wines and spirits. Keeping up with the latest tariff developments and understanding their impact on investments and company performance has grown increasingly complex and urgent.

That's exactly why we're thrilled to launch the Tariff Intelligence Tool—a groundbreaking resource offering real-time insights into global tariff changes. Built around our proprietary Products and Services Industry Classification System (PSICS), this tool tracks tariff announcements as they happen and precisely identifies how these changes affect individual companies and product groups.

At RG Sciences (RGS), we’ve extensively researched PED values for over 350 specific product groups, enabling us to predict how businesses might pass on tariff costs to consumers and what this means for revenue and market share. The reality is that it is not the same to put a tariff on steel while a reciprocal tariff is placed on motorcycles. Different products respond uniquely to tariff increases, influenced by their elasticity of demand, supply chains, and consumer behaviors.

If you're curious or want early access, reach out at info@rgsciences.com.

In a world of escalating trade tensions, having up-to-date intelligence isn't just helpful - it's essential.
