Robust shipments from southern China are driving peak volume growth in the Americas that could reach 16% this year, according to DHL Express Americas’ CEO Mike Parra. In this Talking Transports podcast episode, Parra joins Bloomberg Intelligence senior analyst Lee Klaskow to discuss how peak season is shaping up. Gains are coming from deliveries of fashion, auto parts, technology and gaming products, and Parra sees long-term growth opportunities from a gradual move away from China into northern Mexico. Airfreight rates may find support at current levels until the Chinese New Year, which bodes well for earnings at DHL Express and competitors.
