In the week to January 8th, Drewry's composite World Container Index rose 16% to USD2,557 per feu, driven largely by sharp increases on Transpacific and Asia-Europe trades. Analysts at Drewry say the rally may prove short-lived, noting that the hikes appear to be opportunistic moves by shipping lines despite soft cargo demand. The biggest gains were seen on China\u2013North America routes. Spot rates from Shanghai to Los Angeles jumped 26% to USD3,132 per feu, while Shanghai\u2013New York climbed 20% to USD3,957 per feu. Asia\u2013Europe lanes also recorded solid increases, with Shanghai\u2013Genoa up 13% to USD3,885 per feu and Shanghai\u2013Rotterdam rising 10% to USD2,840 per feu."}
