The rapid ascent in U.S. trade activity seen throughout Q4’20 may be slowing, though relief for the hard-pressed logistics sector has yet to arrive. U.S. seaborne imports in the first two weeks of January increased by 9.6% year over year, down from 20.4% in December and a double-digit growth rate throughout Q4’20. Shipments into the ports of LA and Long Beach rose by just 2.5%, suggesting congestion may be taking a toll, while shipments to New York jumped 35.4%, indicating the imbalances in global shipping. Imports from China grew by 14.0%, down from over 30% throughout Q4’20, reflecting in part a reduced but still substantial expansion in consumer goods demand. Shipments of consumer electronics slowed to growth of 7.2% from 22.3% in December while home furnishings slowed to a still considerable 28.2% from 42.8%.
