Market Update

Tariffs —   The United States and China reached a trade agreement, marking a significant step. Under the deal, both countries will roll back some of their tariffs. Per Executive Order, both sides agreed to a 90-day pause and will move their reciprocal tariffs down by 115%.

Across the pond, the United Kingdom and the U.S. have also finalized a trade agreement. While the 10% reciprocal tariff remains in place, a new arrangement has been reached regarding Section 232 tariffs on U.K. auto imports (details here). Under the deal, the first 100,000 vehicles imported annually by U.K. automakers will continue to face the 10% tariff. Any vehicles exceeding that quota will be subject to a higher 25% tariff, according to a White House fact sheet.

Port Volumes:

Port of Savannah – In the month of April the port handled 515,000 TEUs, up 17% (74,500 TEUs) from the month prior,  according to a press release.
