On Asia, as with many other topics, US president-elect Donald Trump’s campaign rhetoric tackled taboo subjects and hinted at major departures from fundamental policies and principles. The region now waits nervously to find out where and to what degree that rhetoric becomes policy.

A Hillary victory would benefit Thai markets in terms of TIP market re-allocations and export strength, while hurting us on global stability. Victims of Trump includes energy and exporters. If Hillary extends Obamacare, chances of Americans coming to Thailand for medical tourism will also decline yo.In Las Vegas, Hillary and Trump meet for their final debate, and both of them were SPECTACULAR. Not all the polls are out yet, but we generally agree that Hillary won narrowly. Trump had better grasps of foreign politics and exuded more confidence, but President (yes, trust me on this) Hillary won a vote from MCorp Review for superior thematic consistency (very important to us) and sportsmanship. The two candidates tied on economics, and no scores were awarded for emotional connection since this ain't no town hall format. At the end of the day, we regret to inform Trump supporters that well...he really shot himself in the foot yo. :(

Strong supply growth on account of high vessel deliveriesscheduled in FY16/FY17 will continue to keep the LPG shipping market in imbalance. On the demand side, with lower price of LPG in Asia, the propane trade has been hurt, and there has been no major driver of incremental demand to absorb the excess tonnage available. Freight rates across segments have dropped in the recent past, and we do not expect a meaningful recovery over the next 12 months, even thoughthere could be a short-lived…
