stock is on an ignominious ស្ទ្រីម, falling for seven consecutive days. There hasn’t been much company-specific news to blame the slide on, making the recent declines something of a mystery.

Consider: UPS (ticker: UPS) stock is down 0.7% in afternoon trading Thursday, while the

is up 0.6%, and the

Dow Jones ឧស្សាហកម្មមធ្យម
គឺកើនឡើង ៣០% ។

Over the past seven trading days, UPS stock is down about 13%. The current seven-day stretch is the longest losing streak since January 2022 when shares fell for nine consecutive trading sessions, according to Dow Jones Market Data. With the recent declines, UPS stock is down about 11% in 2022.

Investors may want to blame ធនាគារកណ្តាល. Comments from Federal Reserve Gov. Lael Brainard spooked the market on Tuesday. She said “it is of paramount importance to get inflation down,” and talked about the Fed reducing the amount of stimulus it was providing to the economy. That might mean the Fed is committed to slowing inflation, even if it means slowing the economy. Less economic activity means fewer packages to ship.

UPS stock is down about 6% since her speech, while the S&P 500 is down about 2% over the same span. Investors are punishing transportation stocks harder than the rest of the market.

FedEx

(FDX) stock is down about 7% since Tuesday. The

Dow Jones ដឹកជញ្ជូនជាមធ្យម
is off about 6%. That means the Fed may account for roughly half of the decline in UPS shares and other logistics stocks.

Supply chain snarls, rising costs, and moderating price gains probably account for the rest of the recent decline. KeyBanc analyst Todd Fowler wrote this week that supply chain constraints are easing, but are still high. That’s adding cost and complexity to freight networks. While inflation is still an issue, easing backups mean freight prices are starting to moderate. Fowler noted in his report that spot freight rates dropped in March compared with February. “With spot rates essentially at parity with contract rates, renewals may begin to moderate going-forward,” added the analyst.

Falling prices and a slowing economy aren’t good for shippers, but Fowler still rates UPS shares Buy with a price target of $265. He has more concern now than he has had in recent months, but “in no way” does he “believe we have entered a freight recession, or even consider one inevitable.”

Let’s hope not.
