I just gave you examples of the most common reasons for price changes that your mental model wasn't taking into account. Prices vary based on many more factors than what you think it does, that's it. > all randomly did this in the same direction at the same time Who says it's random? Most of the variation is very likely linked to the US government actions, but the first order effect of actual tariffs is far from the only way the Trump administration is messing up the economy. In fact, the mess started long before the tariffs actually went enforced and it didn't stop when they where suspended.
