The crash in container ships arriving at the Port of Los Angeles (busiest in US) depicted in this graph should hit in a few weeks, which means lost business for truckers and probably some empty shelves in stores.
Unless something big changes, the problems should become more apparent in the summer.

The Baltic Dry Index is -17.60% for the month. A falling BDI is a leading indicator of potential economic downturns, as it reflects both lower demand for goods and possibly an oversupply of shipping capacity.
