This Week’s DHL Supply Chain/FreightWaves Pricing Power Index: 30 (Shippers)
Last Week’s DHL Supply Chain/FreightWaves Pricing Power Index: 25 (Shippers)
Three-Month DHL Supply Chain/FreightWaves Pricing Power Index Outlook: 50 (Balanced)
The trucking industry operates in a market based on real-time demand and supply. When demand is higher than capacity, carriers gain negotiating power for rates. When supply is higher than demand, shippers have the advantage.
The DHL Supply Chain/FreightWaves Pricing Power Index uses the analytics and data contained in FreightWaves SONAR to analyze the market and estimate the negotiating power for rates between shippers and carriers.
The Pricing Power Index is based on the following indicators:
Load Volumes: Momentum and Trend Neutral
The Outbound Tender Volume Index (OTVI.USA) is currently at 7,394.28, down significantly due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Our volume index is a seven-day moving average, thus the volume total currently is well below normal totals. Also, because the holiday landed on the last possible day (the 28th), yearly comparables are rendered insightless. With that said, it is important to compare the pre-holiday peak change from last year to this. This pre-turkey day peak in volume was 3% higher than 2018, and it preliminarily seems the post-holiday trough is about 3% less shallow than last year. This is positive in light on the holiday demand picture, but it is difficult to determine how much of this is due to strong holiday demand or simply because there is less time between Thanksgiving and Christmas.
SONAR: OTVI.USA
Tender Rejections: Absolute Levels Positive for Shippers; Short-term and Long-term Trends Positive for Carriers
Outbound tender rejections are still above the 7% mark, currently sitting at 7.38%. OTRI is also a seven-day moving average, meaning tomorrow will be the day when the post-Thanksgiving capacity picture becomes visible. Yearly comparables are still spectacular – the 2018 rejection levels never fell below double-digits. OTRI has been above the 6% resistance band since mid-October. It is typical for rejections to fall quickly after a national holiday, so we will glean more insights in the next few days into the capacity picture heading into the end of the year.

Spot Rates: Absolute Level Positive for Shippers and Momentum Positive for Carriers
Spot rates came to life during the holiday week, climbing almost 8% to $1.52 per mile according to the DAT dry van national average. We will continue to keep a close eye on spot rates going forward. Signs of a strengthening spot market will be if spot rates can continue this momentum into the holiday season, or at least set a higher trough above $1.43 per mile going forward.
November Class 8 Truck Orders: Absolute Level and Momentum Positive for Carriers
November preliminary Class 8 truck orders (ORDERS.CL8) came in at 17,500, down 38% y/y and down 20% from 21,864 sequentially in October. October is seasonally a strong month for new truck orders so it is natural to see a dip in November. Orders have now been negative on a y/y basis for 13 straight months.
Class 8 truck orders running well below replacement demand is bullish for both future spot rates (DATVF.VNU) and outbound tender rejections (OTRI.USA). This is likely sometime in the back half of 2020 as the annualized shortfall of new truck orders is now equivalent to about 4% of capacity coming out of the market. Given a six- to nine-month lead time for new truck orders, it takes some time for orders running below replacement demand to feed into an increasing supply and demand imbalance (in favor of demand).
Economic Stats: Positive Momentum for Shippers
On Monday, the ISM Manufacturing PMI (ISM.PMI) survey results were released. The ISM came in at 48.1, which missed consensus expectations of 49.4. It also fell sequentially from 48.3 in October and is hitting new lows after peaking at about 60 in the summer of 2018.
A weak ISM combined with weak new truck orders is sending mixed signals and suggest the current economic backdrop remains rather tepid. In addition to spot rates, monthly net new truck orders (ORDERS.CL8) tend to correlate extremely well with the ISM manufacturing PMI (ISM.PMI) historically, as can be seen in the chart below.
While most might say that because manufacturing is now only about 15% of the U.S. economy, economic growth is now primarily driven by consumer spending and services. However, manufacturing is much more important to trucking and accounts for a greater percentage of demand.
The ISM continues to be weak and deteriorate, which throws cold water on the notion of an imminent economic bottoming and acceleration into 2020. A weak ISM is also a negative for volumes, rates, jobs and capital expenditures, particularly in areas like flatbed (FOTVI.USA), open deck and specialized trucking, which are more manufacturing-driven.

Transportation Stock Indices: Absolute Levels Positive for Shippers, Momentum Positive for Carriers
The market was previously sanguine on the transportation sector, even in the face of widespread disappointing third-quarter earnings, but that view appears to have taken a meaningful step back this week due to a souring of the trade war rhetoric and a weak ISM.
It was an ugly week for our proprietary truckload, less-than-truckload (LTL), logistics and parcel stock indices as they fell by 3.4%, 6.7%, 2.5% and 2.8%, respectively. Transportation equities dramatically underperformed the S&P 500, which fell by 1.3% this week. The ISM appears to be shaking investors’ faith in the likelihood of a global synchronized recovery in 2020 led by more economically sensitive and cyclical industries like trucking.

There has been a dramatic shift within the platforms focused with the aid of attackers during the last few years. Up until 2016, browsers tended to be the maximum commonplace attack vector to exploit and infect machines however now Microsoft office programs are preferred, according to a file published here for the duration of March 2019. Increasing use of Microsoft workplace as a famous exploitation target poses an thrilling security challenge. Seemingly, weaponized files in e mail attachments are a top contamination vector

Microsoft rich text format is heavily used inside the e-mail attachments in phishing assaults. It’s been gaining big reputation and its extensive adoption in phishing attacks is more often than not attributed to the truth that it has an capability to comprise a extensive form of exploits and may be used efficaciously as a delivery mechanism to target victims. Microsoft RTF files can embed numerous styles of object sorts either to take advantage of the parsing vulnerabilities or to resource in addition exploitation. The object Linking and Embedding function in wealthy text layout documents is basically abused to either hyperlink the RTF report to external malicious code or to embed other report format exploits within itself and use it because the exploit container. Apparently, the RTF record format is very versatile.

Rich text format documents are heavily formatted using manage words. Manage words inside the RTF files in the main outline the way the file is supplied to the person. Because those RTF control words have the associated parameters and records, parsing errors for them can come to be a target for exploitation. Exploits inside the past had been found the usage of manage phrases to embed malicious sources as properly. Therefore, it turns into large to observe a vacation spot manage word that consumes information and extract the stream. RTF specs describe numerous hundred manipulate phrases consuming records.

Overlay information is the extra facts that’s appended to the end of RTF documents and is predominantly used by make the most authors to embed decoy documents or additional assets, both within the clear, or encrypted shape that is normally decrypted while the attacker-managed code is executed. Overlay statistics of the volume past a sure length should be deemed suspicious and need to be extracted and analysed further. However, Microsoft phrase RTF parser will forget about the overlay information even as processing RTF files. Under are some times of RTF exploits with a better extent of overlay records appended on the quit of the file, with CVE-2015-1641 embedding both the decoy record and multi-staged shellcodes with markers.
