SUMMARY
Air Freight: Global air freight rates extended gains for a third consecutive week, with the BAI Index up roughly 6% YoY. Asia‑outbound corridors led the climb — Hong Kong (BAI30) rose +5.4% WoW and Shanghai (BAI80) +0.8% WoW — while Frankfurt softened.
Ocean Freight: Drewry's World Container Index slipped 1% to $2,216/40ft, its third straight weekly decline, but Transpacific eastbound rates ticked up 2% to the West Coast and 10% to the East Coast as Strait of Hormuz disruption pushes premiums higher.
