00:00FedEx just dropped a bombshell, and it's a warning every investor needs to hear.
00:10Often called the pulse of the global economy, FedEx is seeing a massive drop in shipping
00:14volumes as we enter 2026.
00:17Is this just a temporary slowdown, or are we looking at a global economic shift?
00:21Welcome to Fiscal Point.
00:23Today we decode the FedEx warning and what it means for your pocket.
00:26Why do we care about a courier company?
00:28Because FedEx moves everything, from your iPhones to industrial parts.
00:32When FedEx reports lower earnings, it means businesses are producing less and consumers
00:36are buying less.
00:38For the first time in years, the just-in-time delivery model is failing due to rising fuel
00:42costs and geopolitical tensions in shipping lanes.
00:44But it's not all bad news.
00:46FedEx is fighting back with AI-driven logistics.
00:49They are replacing old routing systems with autonomous algorithms to save billions in fuel.
00:54This is where the tech war meets logistics.
00:55While the volume is down, the efficiency is up.
00:59Companies that don't adapt to AI logistics by the end of 2026 will simply cease to exist.
01:04From the Red Sea to the Panama Canal, shipping is getting more expensive.
01:08FedEx is passing these costs to you, the consumer.
01:11This is contributing to sticky inflation that central banks are struggling to control.
01:15We are moving from a globalized world to regional hubs, and FedEx is at the center of
01:20this painful transition.
01:21Is FedEx's warning a sign of a coming recession, or just a shift in how we trade?
