After selecting one or more freight indices, the 'Selected indices' table displays:

  • Name: The chosen transport route
  • Transport mode: The selected transport mode (Air, Sea, Road'
  • Contract type: Indicates whether the index is based on contract or spot prices
  • Start: The initial value of the index at the selected starting point
  • End: The final value of the index at the selected end point
  • Average: The average value over the selected period
  • Change: The absolute difference in value between the start and end of the selected period
  • Change in %: The percentage difference between the start and end of the selected period

These values are also displayed in a line chart, making it easier to identify trends over time.

Graph Results
After selecting the indices, the Price Development Chart displays:
  • Y-axis: the index value expressed as a percentage
