Trade deal is dead in the water, rates will keep going up and the labor market is still tight. Companies have been stockpiling like mad ahead of tariffs and this has driven up cost for storage considerably. At this point it doesnt even matter if the tariffs go in or not. The stockpiles mean most retailers will stop importing early next year regardless. If demand starts to fall when that happens expect all hell to break loose when companies are stuck with all these bloated inventories they cant sell.
