In the face of President Donald Trump’s recent elevation of tariffs, the shipping industry exhibits robust fortitude. Today, despite the Trump administration amplifying tariffs on nearly half of Chinese imports from 10% to 25%, the equity market in various sectors remained largely unperturbed. This new tariff adjustment encompasses $250 billion of Chinese merchandise, ranging from televisions to soybeans. New York’s eminent shipping conglomerates, responsible for transporting 90% of commodities via waterways, have gracefully weathered this storm, maintaining a steady stock trajectory throughout the day. The imposed tariffs on Chinese imports may not detrimentally affect the demand for dry bulk, given that its flow predominantly moves eastward, according to Poe Fratt of Noble Capital Markets. However, potential retaliatory actions by China, which may entail sourcing grains, inclusive of soybeans, from alternative countries besides the US, could indeed influence the dry bulk demand. Shares of the dry bulk entity, Seanergy Maritime, saw a modest decline of less than 4% to $1.78 by late afternoon, while its counterpart, Globus Maritime, experienced a 2% decrement to $2.88. In contrast, International Seaways observed an augmentation of nearly 4% in its stock value, reaching $20.18, and Scorpio Tankers ascended by over 3% to $27.58. The recent tariff threats unleashed by President DonaldTrump left some analysts apprehensive about a pervasive negative impact on shipping. Conversely, some opined that President Donald Trump might eschew actualizing these tariffs, proposing that his social media declarations were merely stratagems to expedite trade discussions with China. Poe Fratt highlighted that the dry bulk market is profoundly influenced by the regulated iron ore supply from Brazil, a consequence of the Vale mine catastrophe. Additionally, China’s curtailing of coal imports has contributed to market dynamics, Poe Fratt mentioned. Poe Fratt further elaborated that the somewhat languid freight rates observed in February have undergone a mild resurgence, contingent on the resolution of trade disputes and the velocity of iron-ore and coal deliveries into China. Analyst Jon Chappell of Evercore ISI remarked that the tariff developments predictably cast an adverse shadow on dry bulk equities, with some diminishing by a substantial 12.5% over the week. Yet, the overarching concern remains the possible detrimental repercussions on China’s economy and the subsequent influence on its commodity import demand. The influx of steel from China is unlikely to suffer, as the primary steel suppliers for the US are domestic, supplemented by Canada and Mexico, noted Jefferies analyst Randy Giveans. Given the limited crude oil, LNG, or LPG imports from China to the US, the overall trade of dry bulk and boxship might remain largely unaffected. In culmination, there is a prevailing anticipation of a trade agreement materializing in the ensuing months. It’s expected that China will consent to a substantial procurement of a diverse array of products from the US, ameliorating the trade disequilibrium between the nations, which would augur well for both shipping revenues and equities. 9-May-2019
