The Impact of Typhoon Yagi on U.S. Electronics Prices

Doug McIntyre discusses how Typhoon Yagi has damaged factories in Vietnam, many of which manufacture electronics. The closures will disrupt supply chains, delaying the production and delivery of essential components to the U.S., which will likely drive up consumer prices. Similarly, drought in Panama is slowing shipping through the canal, adding further costs to freight as ships detour around South America. These climate-related disruptions highlight the far-reaching impact of extreme weather on global supply chains and the potential rise in product costs for Americans.
