Storms and demand are normal causes for price movement. Closing an unfinished pipeline is speculation aka greed and poly-tick-el pressure

Basically what the stock market is built on and what drives oil prices. Also OPEC decision to not increase exports when demand is increasing.

To the O.P., discount tire is good at matching competitors advertised prices. 

I know that and Big O does the same. In fact when I ordered my 38" Trail Grapplers today Big O wanted $469 each. Discount Tire was $449 each. Big O matched their price.
Discount can kiss my ass when they raise the price of a high in demand tire almost $100 overnight.

Yep. 

 

Market says I need 5 apples.

Henry the supplier says I have but 2.

Price goes up.

 

Competitor says I don't have any apples but a cart will have 10 here as soon as the cart is built.

Price tanks.

 

Supply is still only 2 apples. 

 

Wood mill says wood is in short supply

Apple prices are up?

Henry ate an apple waiting on the guy to make up his mind

Price doubles.

 

Ant's come to the picnic

Henry and the market are holding and empty bag.

Investors are furious from every angle and Henry is out the price of two apples

The investors out millions

 

Wait....who got all that money???

 

Brokers!

How did a truck forum turn so political?

FWIW my family owns a few tire shops. Most suppliers are having a cost increase of 8-10%.

Oh yea. Prices are going up. It’s no secret the current administration isn’t oil friendly in any form. That’s been made clear. Gas prices usually go up some in the summer driving season. We’re not there yet. It’s true probably some of the reasons for the increase is speculation, that’s how it works. When you shut down pipelines and public exploration options that plays too. I know people in the field that are putting off any expansion or hiring at the moment with fingers in the air. Experience has taught them caution is the rule when fear mongering types are running the show. Optimism just isn’t there.
