It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Toys in every store?
In their festive chart released on 2 December, ‘I’m gettin’ nuttin’ for Christmas’, the Henley Multi Asset Team flagged high shipping costs and supply chain issues.
Indeed, many are concerned about supply chain challenges and whether gifts for the holiday season will be available.
However, it looks as though US toy companies have done a good job of securing inventory, with toy imports having surged.
