Ocean freight rates hit one-year high amid US-China trade truce
Original: Ocean rates highest in a year amid US-China trade truce
Ocean shipping rates have climbed to their highest level in a year, a rise attributed to the trade truce between the United States and China. The détente is expected to spur a surge in cargo bookings as importers rush to move goods before tariffs return, tightening vessel capacity and pushing freight costs sharply upward across trans-Pacific routes.
Why now: The US-China tariff truce is triggering a rush of shipments, driving freight rates to a 12-month peak.
