Global trade appears to have slowed down in the second quarter, according to Kuehne + Nagel Group.

But the Switzerland-based logistics firm says most indicators are still positive for trade going into the second half of 2018.

Kuehne + Nagel's World Trade Indicator registered a 10% year-on-year increase to end June at 140.2. However, that level is 0.5% below the record level recorded in February.
