July 1, 2025 — Rates for shipping containers traveling between the Far East and the U.S. West Coast have fallen, suggesting that the impact of the U.S.-China trade war is diminishing, at least for now.
The early June peak in rates between the Far East and the U.S. was a sign, logistics analysts said, of shippers’ eagerness to move goods into the U.S. during the 90-day tariff pause announced by the U.S. and China on 12 May.
