  The Silent War for Container Capacity 20.09.2026 7мин

  We look at the hidden economics of empty shipping containers and how leasing markets are reshaping global trade costs. With industrial production holding steady but capacity utilization dipping, companies face a new bottleneck: not just moving goods, but finding the right containers to move them in. Lucas and Luna break down why empty space is becoming a political and economic battleground, using specific data from recent manufacturing orders and current account balances to show where the pressure points really are. #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SupplyChainEconomy #Logistics #Shipping #ContainerLeasing #GlobalTrade #Economics #Manufacturing #FreightRates #InventoryManagement #Nearshoring #IndustrialProduction #CapacityUtilization #TradeBalance #LogisticsStrategy #SupplyChainRisk #BusinessInsights Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  The Hidden Tax of Empty Container Space 19.09.2026 9мин

  With global trade volumes shifting and ocean freight rates fluctuating, the real crisis isn't just about congestion—it's about the massive capital tied up in empty or underutilized container leasing. Lucas and Luna explore how container leasing companies are reshaping supply chain economics by turning idle steel boxes into liquid assets. They examine the recent surge in container availability, the impact on shipping line profitability, and why the 'empty backhaul' problem is actually a feature of modern logistics resilience rather than a bug. Using data from industrial production indices and trade balances, they break down how shippers can leverage this liquidity to negotiate better terms. #SupplyChainEconomy #LogisticsEconomics #ContainerLeasing #OceanFreight #TradeBalance #IndustrialProduction #ShippingLines #CapitalEfficiency #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #GlobalTrade #MaritimeLogistics #AssetUtilization #FreightRates #EconomicResilience #LucasAndLuna #EconomicsShow #SupplyChainStrategy Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  Why US Manufacturing Is Booming Without More Imports 04.09.2026 10мин

  The US trade deficit widened to eighty-eight billion dollars in July even as manufacturing output hit a seven-year high. We break down the structural shift driving this paradox: domestic factories are running at capacity, but they are importing raw materials and intermediate goods at record levels while consumer demand softens. This disconnect reveals how global supply chains are decoupling from simple volume growth and reorienting toward resilience and nearshoring. Lucas and Luna examine the latest industrial production data, capacity utilization rates, and export figures to understand why the economy is growing without traditional import-led consumption. #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SupplyChainEconomy #USManufacturing #TradeDeficit #IndustrialProduction #CapacityUtilization #Nearshoring #GlobalTrade #Economics #Logistics #Shipping #Exports #Imports #GDP #Resilience #Freight #MacroEconomics Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
