Suppliers turning to air transport to speed up deliveries

Fresh data from the International Air Transport Association shows air cargo was up 9 per cent in September as more suppliers look towards air transport

More suppliers are turning to air transport for speed, but severe capacity constraints continue to limit the ability of air cargo to absorb the extra demand.

The latest results show that demand across the sector is continuing to soar well above pre-pandemic levels and capacity constraints are still a big issue.

Global demand for air freight has increased by over 9 percent when compared with September 2019 levels.

This is difficult when capacity is 8-point-nine percent below what it was before Covid-19 brought much of the world to a grinding halt.

The report says that ongoing issues with shipping disruptions are leading to slower delivery times, and as such, companies are reaching for air transport to get products delivered quickly.

Meanwhile, when comparing the cost of air cargo to container shipping the average price to move air cargo was 12.5 times more expensive than sea shipping pre-Covid and is now only three times more expensive.

The organisation’s Director General says “if not addressed, bottlenecks in the supply chain will slow the economic recovery from COVID-19 and governments must act to relieve pressure “

Major stock indices rise slightly; 10-year Treasury yield hits 4.23% amid Fed Chair speculation, affecting small and mega-cap stocks.

All major stock indices are starting the week slightly higher, giving investors cautious optimism. Analysts are keeping an eye on movements in small caps and mega-cap tech stocks amid these early gains.

The yield on the 10-year Treasury note has climbed to 4.23%, the highest since last September. This follows Kevin Warsh emerging as the frontrunner for the next Federal Reserve Chair, sparking speculation on future monetary policy.

Rising yields could trigger a pullback in small-cap stocks, while investors may pivot toward mega-cap tech, expected to deliver strong earnings growth. Overall, the market is likely to see a neutral to slightly bearish trend next week due to overbought conditions.
