Trans-Pacific Freight Rates Stable, Carriers Plan Hikes
from The Daily News Now! Business
Trans-Pacific freight rates remain elevated, driven by carriers capacity adjustments rather than demand growth. Asia to U.S. West Coast rates increased by four percent, while East Coast rates rose by one percent. Asia to Europe routes have stabilized, with North Europe spots trending lower. Carriers plan modest rate hikes and increased blank sailings to maintain spot rates during slow demand, anticipating a stronger peak season. Retailers anticipate a weak second half due to high fuel costs, keeping shippers facing sticky prices. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
