Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Transpacific spot rates are skyrocketing while Asia-North Europe tells a completely different story, and the Strait of Hormuz remains closed to most container traffic after a week of missile exchanges between Iran and the US.
In this episode, Lars Jensen and Caroline Weaver cover:
- Why Asia-US West Coast spot rates are approaching East Coast levels and what that historically signals about market instability
- What the $1,600 gap between current Pacific spot rates and July futures is telling the market
- The latest in the Hormuz crisis, including the attack on the Ever Lovely and what the "evacuation" language from IMO actually means for container shipping
- Port connectivity winners and losers: how Khor Fakkan, Fujairah, and Sharjah are absorbing volume while Gulf ports go dark
- Tariff uncertainty heading into July 24, when Section 122 tariffs expire with no clear successor
