Topic: US supply chain challenges and Overview of transpacific market Brief overview: “US importers seeking relief from bottlenecks at West Coast gateways are triggering new backups at East and Gulf Coast ports; U.S. rail strike averted, but labor deal faces tough union votes; Port labor talks stall as worker disruption grows; Confusion, adjustments follow new California AB5 ruling on owner-operators: adding to strains on the country’s troubled supply chains. In Vietnam, suppliers have encountered a significantly greater-than-expected pullback in export orders. Although we remain hopeful about year-end holiday season, it’s helpful to have some insightful observation from the demand side in the context of retailers’ excess inventories and inflationary impacts.” |
