Condor Airforce Fourth of July Sale.

Sales in general have been short supply and excitement this year. 🙁
Tariff uncertainty affecting raw materials. What is my burden cost going to be next week. Given that most everything is run by spreadsheet jockey Just In Time manufacturing there is no stockpile of raw materials. So market fluctuations have significantly greater short term effects.

Tariffs according to reports I have read show that they have had almost no effect on Prices. That seems good so far.

It isn't the tariffs it is that there is uncertainty. I know of several of my customers that are holding off capital equipment purchases because of the uncertainty. Will prices go up? Will there be increased inflationary pressure? Underlying all that is worst case scenario the tariffs cause a recession.

The overall economy has a lot of inertia so the effects are not timely. If in 6 months or so there aren't any significant effects then the uncertainty will abate.

The Fed just came out and said they kept benchmark rates the same because they cannot predict the effects of the tariffs upon the economy. The Fed is uncertain, not a good thing...
 
It is all Political. Even other Members of the Fed came forward and Demanded that Powell do the right thing. But we can't talk about that Here.

Powell just reported the results of the Fed Open Market Committee. He does not set the rates. I'm going to trust the FOMC economists over politics.
