Wolfe sees shift to West Coast ports on pricing gap

Wolfe Research predicts U.S. imports will shift from East to West Coast ports due to a $3,000 container rate gap, caused by Asian port congestion, blank sailings, and supply chain disruptions. The Panama Canal's transit cuts may further support this shift. Beneficiaries include Union Pacific, J.B. Hunt, CSX, Norfolk Southern, Expeditors International, C.H. Robinson, Matson, and Maersk. J.B. Hunt's Q2 intermodal volumes showed mixed growth.
