The reading for 2 October 2026

10 trade lanes, measured against January 2026 = 100. A reading above 100 means cost pressure is above that baseline, not that rates rose this week.

Some readings below changed after this week was first published. The nightly pass revises a week for several days, and the lanes it touched are marked. This page always shows the current reading, which is why it can differ from the email sent on the day.
