If freight rates are a leading indicator for inflation this time too, then the next big wave is just getting ready. Geopolitical tensions (conflicts in the bottlenecks like the Red Sea), the escalating trade war between the US/EU and China and problems in supply chains are likely to continue to drive this development in the medium term.

I think the same, transportation is going to be a relevant factor without a doubt!! If it could be spoken from another point of view it would be something that would affect us all in general...! And to say the least, it is reflected even in our daily lives here in Lima, the price of gasoline has constantly risen... and that makes ordinary people like my coworkers pay more expensive tickets to go home or work... honestly here the transportation price is expensive! I know that what I say is from the minimum point of view we would say... but it also affects a lot!
