May 2025

If it is a lagging indicator, it sure seems leading or coincident now. It didn't rise as much 2023, 2024 as the main indices, but it hasn't recovered as much as they have in April.

I think it is usually lagging because it mostly reflects internal US production, but the tariff tax supply shock more directly affects transportation because it transportation from ports is more responsive. Just my pondering.
