30% on goods and parts will still cause a large price hike accross the board.

Inflation will still rise.

Ports will still not back in full swing. Even amazon sales will still stumble.

Recession, and even depression, are still developing.

Ignore the stock market. It isnt real any longer, meanong it no longer reflects corporate performance. As long as trillions of dollars are in retirement plans and investment funds, risk wont be followed by lower prices.
