Sample issue
Here's a preview of what lands in your inbox.
🚢 Freight Watch
Asia–US West Coast rates surge 14% in three weeks — tariff front-loading or structural shift?
Transpacific eastbound spot rates have jumped from $3,800 to $4,340/FEU as importers accelerate Q3 shipments ahead of potential tariff changes. Simultaneously, Asia–Europe lanes are holding steady at $3,300–$3,500/FEU with Red Sea diversions still adding 12 days. Our read: this divergence creates a temporary arbitrage window for companies with flexible sourcing between North American and European end markets. Act before July.
⚠️ Risk Watch
Rare earth export controls tightening — who's exposed?
New licensing requirements on neodymium and dysprosium exports are creating lead time uncertainty for manufacturers of electric motors, precision sensors, and industrial magnets globally. If your Tier-2 supply chain touches these materials — across any geography — now is the time to check inventory positions and qualify alternatives.
