VARIOUS OF TRUCKS TRANSPORTING CARGO FROM PORT BAYONNE, NEW JERSEY, US - MAY 1: Trucks lined up to enter a container platform in Bayonne, New Jersey, on Thursday, May 1, as the facility overflowed with shipping containers, reflecting a sharp uptick in port activity. Analysts and trade officials say a surge in import activity aimed at beating upcoming tariff deadlines is causing short-term disruptions across the U.S. economy. Businesses in manufacturing, electronics, and retail have accelerated shipments in anticipation of new tariffs expected later this year, contributing to growing congestion at coastal ports. Ports such as Bayonne are experiencing increased container backlogs and extended truck wait times as a result of the import rush. Trump's aggressive approach to trade, especially the implementation of widespread tariffs, has caused uncertainty and volatility across global stock and commodity markets, prompting investors to seek refuge in traditional safe-haven assets.
