Global Supply Chain Pressures Improved in June
News: The Federal Reserve Bank of New York reported that global supply chain pressures eased in June, reflecting improving trade conditions as disruptions linked to the Middle East conflict began to subside and shipping through the Strait of Hormuz gradually resumed.
The New York Fed’s Global Supply Chain Pressure Index declined to 1.25 in June from a revised 1.81 in May, marking its lowest level since late 2022.
The improvement follows the easing of disruptions that had affected global energy shipments and trade flows through the Strait of Hormuz. While inflation remains above the Federal Reserve’s target, officials expect price pressures to moderate if shipping conditions continue to improve. Despite ongoing supplier delivery challenges, economists believe stabilising supply chains, lower oil prices, and recovering maritime traffic will support global trade, business confidence, and economic stability in the coming months.
