Five signals on the board this week, well, four, and one of them lands tomorrow. Still tracking: • Energy chokepoint, escalating. Renewed strikes cut strait transits to six ships in a day, and diesel reached its highest level since mid-2022. • Colorado River, escalating. Lake Powell broke its all-time record low one week after Lake Mead broke its own. • Panama Canal, escalating. The new caps built a 36-ship queue, week-long waits, and a record $5.3 million paid for one transit slot. New this week: • Canada's counter-tariffs take effect September 8, with dairy hit hardest: 50% on milk and powders, 25% on many cheeses. Trade fights move faster than herds and harvests. If dairy is a staple in your house, its shelf-stable forms carry no tariff timing. Add powdered milk to this week's normal shopping trip.
