updates: The Panama Canal is facing a historic water crisis, resulting in income losses of up to $700 million this year. The chronic drought caused by El Niño has led to record-low water levels in the canal, limiting its capacity and causing delays and increased shipping costs. The drought also has inflationary effects on food prices and other commodities in Jamaica. Geopolitical conflicts, such as the recent military response in Yemen, have further disrupted global trade by targeting commercial ships in the Red Sea. The combination of the water crisis, conflicts, and climate change has created a triple crisis for world trade. The Panamanian government is hoping for rain to alleviate the situation. Additionally, concerns have been raised about the state of the United States' inland waterways infrastructure, prompting efforts to update locks and dams on the Ohio River [ffb058f7] [393862f8] [efab3c9b].
