Freight Futures data to watch today: Weekly spot month futures price changes
Trucking Freight Futures ended the week on a down note across the board Friday as uncertainty in the market continues to weigh. Friday’s downturn mostly wiped out a recovery in the futures markets week-over-week. The spot National contract (FUT.VNU202005) ended lower by 0.51% on Friday, negating an otherwise positive week and causing the average to end fractionally lower at $1.359 per mile.

In the East, the three individual lanes all finished lower week-over-week, led by a $0.011 drop, or 0.6%, in the ATL to PHL contract (FUT.VAP202005) to $1.845. In the West, a $0.014 (0.7%) rise in the LAX to SEA contract (FUT.VLS202005) to $2.124 was partially offset by a 1.1% drop in the SEA to LAX contract (FUT.VSL202005) to $0.817.
