CW20'21 - another record high rates, supply chain is impacting financial forecasts, US inventory levels record low

Sebastian and Michael share thoughts around recent news:

💰 The shipping industry is in a state of crisis. The price of shipping has skyrocketed again, and only some shippers are paying whatever they need to get their goods shipped.

💣 The supply chain is a massive risk for companies nowadays, retailers and tech companies decreased their revenue forecasts

🏭 The US inventory levels are at record lows, and this is impacting the supply chain. This is a problem for companies, but also for the economy as a whole.
