Hot High Tech Stocks For 2019

tags:AEHR,SHOS,CMO,IPGP,PBSK, Businesses and consumers beware. Washington put tariffs on $34 billion worth of Chinese goods on Friday, and Beijing immediately responded with penalties of an equal scale.

The cost of the new tariffs can be found in the roughly 1,300 individual products that have suddenly become more expensive.

The additional taxes will ripple through supply chains, forcing companies in both countries to decide whether to take a financial hit themselves or pass it along to consumers. If demand drops, jobs will be in jeopardy.

Here are some of the goods in the firing line.

US goods hit by Chinese tariffs

Poultry — Frozen beef — Fresh or cold pork — Dried, smoked or salted pork belly — Frozen chicken nuggets — Frozen whole duck

Fruit and vegetables — Farming potatoes — Mushrooms — Truffles — Apples — Cherries — Avocados
