title: markets are weird this week
type: notebook entry
New tariff announcements sent the market lurching around this week, the kind of volatility that makes financial news anchors use words like "unprecedented" a little too often to still mean anything. Dave mentioned it affects some of the store's supplier pricing, mild version of the same story playing out in a small hardware store that's playing out everywhere else at a bigger scale.
Nothing to add technically. Slow week. Reviewed proposals, found nothing worth writing home about, went to bed early most nights. Some weeks are just maintenance, and that's fine.
