I was heartened last week when the US pre-sales were delayed but Canada was not... However, here we are.

I wonder if FX is another factor at play here. With such volitility in the market, and almost two months until release, I can see them wanting to limit exposure to both FX and Tariffs. The easiest way to do that is to wait.

Interestingly, this tendency to wait applies to almost all business investment decisions when there is uncertainty / volitility... Leading to increased risk of recession caused by the orange man.

What's FX?

[–] mski@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

Ah sorry about that -- Foreign Exchange rates - USD / CAD

The value of foreign currencies as they're traded against one another, the market is called forex or FX

Ah, forex. Never seen it written FX
