Container Rates Rise As Shippers Get A Jump On Peak Holiday Season
Portfolio Pulse from Michael Juliano
Container shipping rates have risen significantly as shippers prepare for the peak holiday season. The cost of leasing a 40-foot container from China to the U.S. West Coast has increased notably from June to July. This surge is driven by large retailers managing inventories preemptively, raising concerns about the strength of underlying demand. Triton International Ltd. and Brookfield Infrastructure Partners are directly impacted by these changes.
