Dallas Fed warns of weakening economic outlook in Texas

The Federal Reserve Bank (Fed) of Dallas has issued a warning about a significant decline in Texas's economic outlook. As the largest trading state in the US, Texas is grappling with concerns stemming from Donald Trump’s tariff policies, which have caused businesses to worry about rising production costs, diminished domestic demand, and labor shortages, Bloomberg reported.

A March survey by the Dallas Fed revealed an unexpected spike in uncertainty among manufacturers and service providers. Many Texas companies cited US trade duties as the primary source of their worries. The report's authors, Jesus Cañas and Diego Morales-Burnett, emphasized that these market fears have already resulted in lowered profit forecasts for multiple companies.

Texas now represents approximately 16% of the nation's total commerce. Its heavy reliance on global trade has made it particularly vulnerable to the impact of sweeping import tariffs on key trading partners. In addition, major firms such as Tesla Inc., Chevron Corp. and Charles Schwab Corp. are based in Texas, which has recently seen a surge in corporate presence due to the lack of a state income tax and favorable business regulations.
