Episode notes
U.S. Trade Volume Crash Looming
- U.S. trade volumes are forecasted to drop sharply, potentially as much as 25%, signaling economic contraction.
- This slowdown will impact manufacturing, shipping, and services, reflecting a broader economic payback from previous distortions.
Inventory Glut Risks Deflation
- Excess inventory piled up due to tariff front-loading now pressures company operations and working capital.
- Vendor managed inventory financing helps companies avoid cash lockup but increases deflation risk if demand falters.
LA Port Records Tariff Volatility
- The Port of Los Angeles' record container traffic reflects tariff-induced volatility, not real economic strength.
- Recent surges and drops in import volumes are a whipsaw effect from trade tensions and geopolitical factors.
