[Review rates, volume growth (both strong, again), but note some cracks: US weak retail sales in December vs expectations, rising fuel costs, these threaten positive narrative]Wondering about spot container rates versus "achieved" rates? The three Taiwanese carriers show us why spot exposure, not spot rates, is the key determinant of monthly sales momentum. Fuel prices continue to rise and are now over 60% higher than they were in April 2020. High and rising fuel prices pose a threat to container carrier profitability in the near-term, in our view. We also offer brief notes on ZIM's planned IPO and weak US retail sales in December. We conclude by highlighting YTD share performance and current Price-to-book valuations close to 2.0 times.

Within container shipping space, recent share price performance suggests investors believe the benefits of the cyclical upturn will mainly accrue to carriers like Evergreen Marine Corp (2603 TT).To maintain a positive view on container carriers in the near- and medium-term, investors must embrace several key assumptions regarding demand, supply, and fuel prices. We lay out five of these key assumptions and the risks associated with them. We conclude that investors may not fully appreciate all the risks facing the sector in early 2021.
