Dallas Fed today had other hints
Wal-Mart's CEO is on the wires right now saying that he's seen a 26% increase in containers going through US ports over the past four weeks.
They also said container flow in southern California ports has risen more than 50%.
Here's a comment in the Dallas Fed released earlier today:
I do get a feeling from my suppliers that the supply chain is slowly getting better. In no way is it good, but I can at least get an approximate time frame of deliveries, which they would not give us earlier this year. They are always late, but at least they have a plan.
Some of these numbers are dramatic and they offer some hope that supply chain issues could be quickly sorted out.
