Current Snapshot

What Stands Out Now

  • Current market signals form a meaningful cluster, but not a single dominant story.
  • Lead market story: Asia-U.S. West Coast ocean container spot rates up 343% since start of Iran war, says Xeneta.
  • 7 of the last 7 daily briefs showed meaningful operational activity, so recent movement is not just a one-day blip.
