In recent weeks, freight rates have entered a state of constant decline, with the US line falling particularly large, down by more than 60% and more than 50% respectively from the recent peaks. The traditional foreign trade peak season that started in August in previous years is still waiting and watching. Affected by tariff fluctuations and the pressure of the economic downward cycle, the current wait-and-see sentiment in the market is obvious. As for the subsequent rise and fall of freight rates, the actual key core is the issue of volume support.

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~
