In addition, according to the latest data released by the Shanghai Aviation Exchange on July 18, the Shanghai Export Container Freight Index (SCFI) has fallen for six consecutive weeks, falling another 5.0% to 1,646.90 points, and freight rates on most routes have fallen.
The four major ocean routes in Europe and the United States fell collectively, among which the US Eastern Line fell significantly, with a drop of up to 13.4%, while the US Western Line also turned 2.4% again.To stabilize freight rates, shipping companies are cutting capacity, while services from Asia to the United States are also shrinking.
The European freight rate peaked in stages, and the European economy recovered relatively stable, but it was also affected by the lack of clear results in tariffs.European line freight rates remained basically stable, with a drop of 1.0%, while Mediterranean routes continued to fall by 5.2% due to factors such as increased capacity investment.
According to previous Trump news, "reciprocal tariffs" will be imposed on August 1, which may also disturb the global market and trigger trade uncertainty, thereby affecting global shipping and supply chains. The impact of freight rates needs further observation.
Here is a reminder that if you have freight forwarders involved in related route business, please pay attention to the latest changes in time.Forwarding Zhou Zhi~
