The market from Asia to the US West Coast ports has settled and is now seeing lighter load factors than in previous weeks. The Asia to US East and Gulf Coast markets are stronger now, as blank sailings during November are keeping space tight and rates on the higher side. Carriers are mostly extending the current freight levels through the end of the month. On the labor front, an announcement from November 13 states that negotiations have broken down between the USMX and the ILA, the two parties negotiating the US East and Gulf Coast labor contract. Reports state that the ILA walked away due to disagreements related to automation. Shippers had been hoping for a positive update ahead of the holidays. Instead, concerns are growing that the industry could see another strike as of January 15.

The market from Asia to the US was stronger than expected in October, owing to tighter capacity and roll pools built up before the Golden Week holiday. Space to US West Coast is very tight, especially to Pacific Southwest (PSW) ports. Vessels to US East Coast are also quite full. Carriers implemented a spot rate increase for November 1, and they are eyeing another increase for November 15. Shippers are looking ahead and planning for the January 15 deadline for the extended US East/Gulf Coast labor negotiations. There are still significant obstacles for the union and employers to overcome, including the divisive automation issue. There is the risk of another port strike should the sides not reach an agreement before the deadline.

The US International Trade Commission (ITC), in a 2 to 1 vote, has ruled that anti-dumping (ADD) and countervailing (CVD) investigations covering aluminum extrusions from 14 counties will be terminated. Following their investigation, the ITC determined that the US aluminum industry is not being materially threatened by these imports. Following this decision, the US Department of Commerce will not issue new ADD or CVD duties for these products. As required by this decision, any ADD/CVD deposits already paid to Customs as a result of this case will be refunded.
