| Ripple Effect — October 2, 2025
Stocks and gold are at all-time highs. But the real economy is flashing crisis-level warnings. One source of alternative data — cargo rates — shows that physical goods aren’t in demand. Cargo container rates from Asia to the U.S. are back near pandemic-era levels (Source: Zerohedge) The cost to ship cars, refrigerators, and Christmas toys has fallen back to numbers we last saw when the economy was on lockdown.
For these rates to rise, demand for goods needs to rise…. unlikely as President Trump’s tariff strategy is intended to reshore domestic production of these goods in the U.S.
Until factories come online, there will be fewer goods on the shelves. Combined with declining jobs and stubborn inflation, however, that fact may go unnoticed this holiday season.
