# The State of Trade: Is Shipping Bottoming Out or Still Descending? (July 2023)

The State of Trade: Is Shipping Bottoming Out or Still Descending?
In the wake of the extraordinary demands placed on the logistics sector during the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a notable recent fall in both prices and volumes across modes of transport. Companies trying to decide between spot and contract rates, for example, have had to ask whether prices are likely to fall, rebound, or hold steady. 
With a panel of leading experts, this webinar will look at how we got here, parse the latest data across different sectors, combine that with macroeconomic trends, and see what is most likely to come next.
