With U-Freight\u2019s strong presence in the global container shipping arena, we note that Drewry\u2019s composite World Container Index (WCI) declined only one percent last week, and continued to stabilise after a volatile period, which began after US tariffs were announced in April.

Drewry\u2019s\u00a0Container Forecaster\u00a0expects the supply-demand balance to weaken again in the second half of the year, which will cause spot rates to contract.
