Are spot rates sinking due to alliance reshuffle or US tariff chaos?

  • Asia-US spot rates continue to fall much faster than Asia-Europe spot rates

Falling spot rates could be a leading indicator of lower US imports in the months ahead, or they could be an artifact of the global restructuring of carrier alliances that is now at its most disruptive stage
