Driven by Europe-US routes, the latest Shanghai Containerized Freight Index (SCFI) rose 100 points to 1,656.32, with all four major routes gaining. Many shipping lines and forwarders predict pre-Lunar New Year stockpiling will boost cargo volumes, enabling moderate upward freight rates.
In the past week, cargo volumes on Europe-US routes edged up. Shipping lines added Southeast Asian calls to lift load factors. Despite some carriers planning a $900 hike for US West/East Coast routes from Jan 1, US route load factors are around 80%, with some lines cutting prices.
Since 2025, freight rates on three major trunk routes have plummeted, while Southeast Asian routes gained. Industry insiders note US routes face cargo pressure, with Southeast Asia benefiting from order diversion.
Overall, pre-Spring Festival freight rate trends depend on actual shipments and carriers' space release/control.
