How to read this dashboard

The sections below display automatically updated supply chain indicators sourced from multiple public data feeds. You will see current values and recent changes for container freight rates, Port of LA volumes and congestion (used here as a proxy for broader trade activity), commodity prices, selected macroeconomic variables, and recent maritime disruption events. PMI is included as a forward-looking indicator of global demand for goods and services. Arrows, percentages, and color states indicate short-term direction and relative change.

Today’s story

Shipping conditions were mixed. Drewry’s global container index declined, and a high-profile security incident in the Strait of Hormuz underscored geopolitical risk for commercial shipping. Average waiting time for ships at the Port of LA was 3.7 days, below the 4.0-day congestion threshold.

– Marine: The US-flagged tanker Stena Imperative was harassed by Iranian gunboats in the Strait of Hormuz, raising security and operational concerns.
– Drewry WCI (week of 2026-01-30): -5% WoW
– Commodities: No notable moves reported today.

PMI data not discussed; FX and bond yields not included; Drewry rates fell on the week; Port of LA berth times within threshold; no additional commodity details.

Marine incident

The US-flagged tanker Stena Imperative, critical to US military fuel supply, was harassed by Iranian gunboats while transiting the Strait of Hormuz, raising security and operational concerns for commercial shipping in the region.
