Neolink Global Freight Outlook - May 2025

Dear Valued Customers,

We’re pleased to share our latest Neolink Global Freight Outlook – May 2025, offering a deep dive into the key market shifts, risks, and opportunities shaping global logistics right now.

This is one of the most stable freight pricing periods we’ve seen in four years—yet under the surface, volatility is building. Our team has compiled insights on trade lane performance, economic signals, geopolitical risks, and supply chain strategies to help you navigate the second half of 2025 with clarity and confidence.

🚢 What’s Inside:

  • China–Australia trade lane outlook and the return of GRIs from June
  • Impacts of the U.S.–China tariff truce and its ripple effect on AU-bound capacity
  • RBA’s latest rate cut and its implications for import volumes and landed costs
  • Airfreight compression out of South China and how to secure uplift
  • Port reliability, updated container flow stats, and schedule performance
  • Inventory strategy recommendations across JIT, JIC, and hybrid models
  • New tech tools we’ve deployed in Logixboard, including AI-led visibility and CO₂ emissions tracking
