Target just sent up a giant red flag about the U.S. consumer

Giant red flags, is that a sign of winning?

 

Target just sent up a giant red flag about the U.S. consumer

 

"High-income U.S. consumers are pulling back. Mortgage applications are down, Walmart (WMT) is reporting grocery gains from monied households suddenly keen for deals on eggs and bananas. And now Target joins a growing list of beloved brands waving the red flag that a recession may be coming."

[impulse]

Red flag? 

 

I think they're suffering from the big ass rainbow flag they've been flying.  They don't understand their customers.

Take a stab in the dark. Looking at this graph when, using the price eggs which was the big topic, would you say Trump became POTUS?

Nope. It's a sign that Got woke, went broke is still a thing. Nice.

What you probably hear is knocking on the door. The intervention is underway.

Up to your brilliant standard of retort as per usual.

Here's another graph showing the price of eggs:

Target missed their own red flags when they tried to enter the Canadian market. We'll played and insightful.

So it's actually not cheap, in particular if you select a longer period (5 years). It's actually more expensive than before the bird flu epidemic.

I'll add a humorous touch: it's more expensive than when Vance made his famous show about it, blaming Kamala Harris! 🤣

I agree that eggs are still not cheap but this doesn't alter the fact that Trump said he'd bring down the price of eggs and that's what's happened and it happened fast. Bit like he said he'd shut down the open border and he did that and once again did it fast.

Im sorry that you're not insightful enough to see the meaning.

Trump made this promise last year during his campaign, same as Vance. He did not bring the price of eggs down compared to the price at the time he made this promise. 🙂

Eggs are almost down to Oct 2024 levels and the trend is the price is still falling.

Eggs is eggs. Let's be honest. Nothing he's done has likely impacted the cost of eggs either way. But tariffs will have a real effect on Targets prices.

Oh, it'll get better.

Bigly better.

Trump was already campaigning about it in August.

Having said that, if the bird flu pandemic ends, I don't see why eggs shouldn't go back to a "normal" price. The U.S. was a net exporter in 2024, so their price shouldn't be affected by tariffs (provided input costs are not affected).

Lol! Trump threatened 25% tariff on imported Iphones if Apple doesn't bring back production to the U.S. Even if it would be economically feasible, it would take years! 🤣

Target raise a giant red flag.

MAGA: Eggs!

Walmar says tariffs force them to raise prices.

MAGA: But but Biden!

Yes, but think of the privilege to be able to buy a 60% Murican made Iphone XX for the low sum of 3800 $!

As it's clearly stated in NoDisplayName's post, it's also about tariffs on the EU.

You ask a lot of questions. Big tariffs on the EU and Apple is a big deal.  I guess the market thinks - who's next and what's next and is this idiot ever going to learn with all these random pronouncements.

All large US retailers are feeling the effect of tariffs.

 

The current administration reminds me of the bread and circuses the Romans used to have. Light on the bread, heavy on the circuses.
