The world of global trade is undergoing significant turbulence as major players react to emerging tariff policies. One of the leaders in this transformation is the Japanese shipping giant Nippon Yusen (NYK). The company’s president, Takaya Soga, recently highlighted concerns over the tariff measures proposed by the US administration under Donald Trump. According to Soga, these tariffs could trigger a rise in prices for automobiles and everyday goods, ultimately dampening consumer demand and slowing the flow of freight across the globe.

Recently, the business community has been abuzz with news of a potential deal between Investcorp, the largest alternative asset manager in the Middle East, and Miebach Logistik Holding GmbH, a German consulting firm specializing in supply chain and logistics. This acquisition could play a pivotal role in Investcorp's strategy, which aims to expand its presence in the logistics sector.
