Takeaways for brokers:
- The supply chain is healing. There is pent-up demand for equipment that was very difficult to source in recent years.
- There is still record government funding of shovel-ready projects being deployed.

- Banks are pulling back and cash positions are weaker, driving more demand for commercial equipment financing through vendors.
