How Tariffs Are Quietly Breaking Corporate Cash Flow

Most people think tariffs are just a tax on imported goods. But the real story, at least for big multinational corporations, is about working capital and cash flow timing. With the US trade-weighted dollar index down to 120.3 in late September and import values hitting 4.67 trillion dollars in the second quarter of this year, companies are facing a squeeze that has nothing to do with the headline tariff rate and everything to do with when they have to pay their suppliers. Lucas and Luna dig into how prepayment demands and shifting logistics are forcing firms to tie up cash for longer periods, creating a silent liquidity crisis that standard profit margins don't capture.
