Container Market Weekly Performance: Trends, Gains and Losses

In particular, indices such as Freightos Baltic Index (FBX) are used to measure these fluctuations. The FBX measures global container freight rates by calculating spot freight rates across 12 global trade routes for 40-foot containers. This index is considered a key barometer of the freight market. ​
