What this week says
Under most pressure
North America → Far East is the heaviest lane on the board at 254.1, and capacity is what is carrying it.
Moved most this week
North America domestic rose 4.9 percent against last week, the largest move on the board.
Worth a conversation
Europe ↔ North America moved against the market this week. On that corridor the market is on your side of the table, and it will not be raised for you.
Already on its way
On the heaviest lane, 46 percent of this pressure has reached spot rates, 77 percent short term contracts and 94 percent annual ones. The rest is still in transit to your invoice.
