Tariffs, Tank Monitoring, and 90s Trauma

Coming out of last week, it was relatively quiet news wise that pushed markets to be range bound.   This week is the completely different as most can't make heads or tails of market influences.  Russia is now on “double secret probation” with Tariff threats down to 10 days versus 45.  The US is putting secondary tariff pressure on their largest Crude buyer, India, in an effort to stop aggression in Ukraine.  The FED announced it is holding rates firm even after Q2 GDP rose at an alarming rate of 3%.  Two sides to this coin is that some say the increase was due to the lack of imports because everyone stocked up in Q1 ahead of tariff implications.  Others saying the threat of tariffs is boosting consumer spending.  I don’t know what to believe, I am still mourning my childhood icons Ozzy and Hulk and the utter disappointment of Happy Gilmore 2.  What I do know is the effectiveness of our fuel monitoring systems recently.  We saw once customer that had a 30% decrease in deliveries utilizing our monitors verses an automatic schedule.  Less interruptions, less invoices, less work.  From 500g tanks to 20k USTs, we can cover it.  We even give you a username and password to view inventory anywhere.  Look for the stagnation to continue with a slight downside as demand for products is still off over historical figures.
