Freight rates for ocean cargo have soared after an attempted attack on Wednesday and a bid to hijack a Maersk ship last Sunday forced shipping companies to suspend plans to restart transits through the Red Sea. https://www.asiafinancial.com/ocean-freight-fees-shoot-up-after-new-red-sea-ship-attacks

"Interest rate differentials are an important factor in the global economy. They can affect the flow of capital between countries, the value of currencies, and the profitability of investments."
An interest rate differential is basically two different interest rates in two different countries or currencies. At this point, we are witnessing several different ones across the globe.
These interest rate differentials affect values and exchange rates in trade. It is creating a problem for hedge funders wanting to make clear trade bids on the Forex Markets based on a value they can profit from in the trade.
Uncertain interest rates is beginning to create a level of uncertainty for hedge funders attempting to position themselves for profit on the Forex Currency Market in Cross Border International Trading.
Uncertainty in the market creates pullbacks from investors that bring down the flow of money creating less demand and value for currencies utilized in trades.
A great example of this is the use of the dollar in oil trades being replaced by local currencies in the East. As these new volumes increase because of interest rate differentials, countries holding more value over time will be the ones utilized in trades going forward.
These new demands will increase value over time on chosen currencies with lower interest rates resulting in more value in the exchange of goods and services. Look for currency interventions this year to begin the process of leveling off the playing field through narrowing interest rate differentials.
