Xeneta analyst insight
Peter Sand, Xeneta Chief Analyst:<\/p>\n
\u201cOffered capacity on the Transpacific trade from Far East to US West Coast increased 6.9% in the last week against a backdrop of subdued demand, yet average spot rates remained almost flat.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe full story is found by comparing rates being paid by shippers at different levels of the market. Xeneta data shows the mid-low market segment \u2013 generally occupied by the larger volume shippers \u2013 has fallen 18.3% in the last month, while the market average has fallen a lesser -11.5%.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith the market mid-low acting as a bellwether and seemingly impacted more immediately by the increasing capacity on the Transpacific, those shippers paying the market average should expect further softening in rates in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n
\u201cExperiences of capacity and freight rate volatility vary across shippers, so logistics procurement professionals must have granularity and deep visibility of these market dynamics.<\/p>\n
\u201cVolatility is seen across the main Far East fronthauls to the US and Europe, with widespread falling rates expected. Carriers will respond with aggressive capacity management, including blanking sailings, which could cause supply chain disruption and delays for shippers.\u201d<\/p>\n
