Market mechanism
Increased logistics costs and inventory accumulation via supply chain throughput pressure.
Extended read
The LMI reading of 71.1 indicates a robust expansion in the logistics sector, suggesting that firms are aggressively building inventories. This behavior is partly attributed to anticipation of holiday demand and strategic hedging against potential new tariffs. While the expansion signals strong consumer demand, the persistent cost pressures in warehousing and transport could lead to margin compression for retailers or be passed through as inflationary pressure.
