Global Finance Report Weekly Market CommentaryThe 'Trade Wars' dominated the close of international markets for the week. Asian and European markets took major hits as the prospect of US Tariffs on exports sunk in. The imposition of tariffs will have a massive impact on Asian and European Exporters and markets reflected this. The threats of retaliatory action came thick and fast, but considering many have surpluses with the US and are trade dependent, Trump is in the box seat.

Only one trade is physically capable of accommodating these behemoths: Asia-Europe, where consequently supply is once again well exceeding demand.
In what should thus be no surprise to any regular observer, freight rates are now "substantially below" 2017, with some sources claiming offers of as low as US$350/TEU are in the market against "expectations" of US$1500/FEU ... read more |
