We're beginning to see the real effects playing out in the market.

According to Amazon's CEO, tariff pressures from recent policy changes are starting to show up in product pricing. Sellers are caught in the middle—they're having to make tough calls about whether to absorb these new costs or pass them along to customers.

What's interesting is how quickly this is rippling through supply chains. As costs rise, merchants face a choice: squeeze margins or adjust prices. Most are doing a bit of both. This kind of policy-driven cost shock usually takes time to fully manifest, but we're already seeing the early signals.

It's a reminder that macroeconomic headwinds don't stay theoretical for long—they hit the real economy pretty fast.
