This week, Drewry\u2019s composite World Container Index decreased 5% to USD1,859 per 40ft container. Spot rates on the Transpacific Headhaul saw a double-digit decrease this week, with rates from Shanghai to New York falling 15% to US3,254 per 40ft container and rates to Los Angeles dropping 12% to USD2,328.\u00a0Although carriers were able to briefly sustain rates using GRIs, that impact proved short-lived as rates softened this week due to waning demand, with retailers having already imported their holiday season merchandise.\u00a0"}
