Focus on the [timeframe] period. Use reliable sources such as freight indices (e.g., Baltic Dry Index, Drewry Indices), market reports, and shipping exchange data to understand freight volatility. Consider drivers such as fuel prices, port congestion, geopolitical disruptions, vessel shortages, and regulatory changes.

Key analysis points:
- Identify major factors causing freight cost volatility in each region.
- Explain how freight fluctuations impact total landed cost, margins, and overall trade risk.
- Compare sensitivity levels across regions (India, US, EU).
- Highlight how freight risk interacts with commodity prices, currency risk, and supply-chain constraints.
- Provide practical examples relevant to producers, traders, importers, and exporters.
- Suggest basic mitigation strategies (e.g., freight contracts, multi-port routing, inventory planning).

   Rows: One for each region in [regions].

2. **Summary**:  
   A concise paragraph (150?250 words) synthesizing the table, explaining how freight volatility shapes trade risk, and identifying the regions most exposed.

Ensure insights align with established trade economics principles and recent freight market behavior. If data is unavailable for any region, note limitations and propose alternatives.
