Yep you see this all the time with gas prices.
The second a refinery is having issues? Gas prices jump even if the gas was onsite over a week before.
And once the issue is resolved? Prices take weeks to slip down a teeny bit.

B. Given the way free markets work, their competitors will almost certainly be raising prices as well so they're basically screwing themselves if they don't also raise prices to match
