Tuesday February 22, 5:02 am Eastern Time This morning, offered for your consideration, seemingly diverse facts. They hold a possible common cause, and implications, perhaps, relating to the currency exchange rates, a lack of future confidence in the strength US Dollar - due to balance of trade concerns, or ongoing EU Inventory / Logistics problems / failures (European?s behind the curve in JIT?): 1) Reported on Bloomberg this morning, Parts shortages reported in the United States for VW & Audi. 2) Recent price increases, increased delivery time, & or shortages of select pieces of Henckels highest quality professional grade cutlery 3) I?m personally waiting for 2 deeply backordered Sitram Cybernox saut‚ pans from France. The reader must decide. Is there a major breakdown of the supply chain in Europe, which could ultimately threaten the value of the Euro.? Is there a lack of willingness to continue sell classic European quality items for US hi-tech dollars?
