Despite global economic uncertainties highlighted by the World Bank, including Middle East conflicts and tightening monetary policies, several factors are bolstering trade. The United States' tariff exemptions are helping to lower overall duties, while other nations are promoting trade liberalization. Strong investment in AI is also contributing to economic resilience. The global trade growth is projected to reach 2.9%.

The World Bank's latest report indicates rising uncertainty in the global economic outlook due to Middle East conflicts, inflationary pressures, and expected monetary policy tightening.

In the shipping market, the US's planned tariff expansion in July has prompted businesses to stockpile goods, boosting short-term trade activity and seasonal demand. Linerlytica reports that limited new vessel deliveries and worsening congestion at major ports like Shanghai are extending waiting times, reducing effective supply and driving up freight rates. Yang Ming stated it will continue to monitor vessel schedule accuracy and cargo demand, adjusting its fleet and voyage plans to maintain a competitive edge in the face of evolving trade policies and geopolitical shifts.
