I haven’t seen this mentioned yet…
The West coast Port Workers Association contract is being renegotiated and if I was a savvy buyer I would stock up inventory before and after the negotiation window instead of having my inventory stuck on a boat in the Bay Area. This obviously isn’t the whole answer, but a possible contributing cause.
Also there has not been a lot of coverage on this considering how big of a deal a strike would be if they could not come to terms. The most recent article was about 4 weeks ago according to a cursory google news search.
