Business Highlights: Holiday Shoppers, Oil Production

The holidays have always been defined by disappointing outofstock messages on the most popular items. But the pandemicinduced supply chain snarls have created unprecedented shortages across all types of products. That has many customers buying early as shortfalls are only expected to worsen as the holiday season moves into the final stretch.

If shoppers cant get what they want at one store, they could go to another competitor or just not buy an alternative. That could dampen overall holiday sales.
