According to Toft, “We continue to see the U.S. as a big advantage. They are a net exporter of energy. I think they’ve managed to bring inflation down gradually, and the labor market is solid. There’s almost full employment. So we continue to see the U.S. as extremely healthy and hopeful.

Toft said he is starting to see signs of recovery in the trade channel between China and Europe, and this is a signal for consumer demand.

Mediterranean Shipping Corporation (MSC), the world’s largest shipping company, expects positive economic signs, but it will take months for the recovery to take hold.

According to Soren Toft, CEO of MSC, the industry has been affected by declining global demand and severe supply chain disruptions in recent quarters, but the rest of the year will be positive. We have cautious hopes that the global economy will recover. I think there will be some business activity by the middle of the year.”

Toft pointed out that North American and European inventories are still very high and are having a negative impact on trade volumes, but that freight orders will increase as inventories come down.
