Connection thesis
7-Eleven closing 645 stores in North America suggests weakening consumer demand, especially in low to mid income brackets. If Trump follows through on tariff threats against China, this will exacerbate inflationary pressures on consumer goods, further squeezing these same consumers.

Lesson
7-Eleven store closures are not a reliable indicator of short-term SPY movement. Consumer demand weakness reflected in specific retailers doesn't necessarily translate to immediate, broad market declines.
