We have earlier argued that the current M&amp;A in the container shipping industry is about "Survival" and not "Growth". This morning from Japan, <blockquote>Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha, Ltd., Mitsui O.S.K. Lines Ltd., and Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha have agreed, after the resolution by the board of directors of each company held today, and subject to regulatory approval from the authorities, to establish a new joint-venture company to integrate the container shipping businesses (including worldwide terminal…</blockquote>

While recent economic data releases of China are not promising, there are some positive prospects of the economy. While the RMB has been slumping, basic commodity prices like steel, iron ore, and coal have been soaring.  Given the ongoing slowdown, this seems puzzling but it may owe more to fundamental sources, albeit credit driven, than understood.While many Chinese industries suffered this year due to slow economic downturn, it looks like coal is recuperating due to increased consumption in…

What's Driving Changes to Chinese Coal and Steel Prices?

After being upgraded as a middle income level country, the middle kingdom seems to be slowing down economically and it can be vividly observed in the latest data releases. During the third quarter official Chinese GDP remained at 6.7% driven primarily by real estate and the opaquel name “other” industries. As we noted yesterday in our note about the discrepancy between headline GDP and underlying data, a look at monthly output from important sectors fails to match broader output in the Chinese…

China released GDP figures yesterday and it is difficult to find anyone who takes them as anything other nonsensical ramblings and definitely not any good faith representative data on the world’s second largest economy.  It is simply difficult to believe that an economy would grow at 6.7% for three consecutive quarters.  At the very least we would expect statistical noise.However, even light of the statistically dubious GDP data, we do believe there are insights that can be gleaned from the…

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…
