OVERVIEW
Dry Bulk shipping has been adversely affected by concerns regarding slower projections for global economic growth, falling commodity prices, major geopolitical challenges and the nervousness of the broader market. In this context, dry bulk stocks have declined by well over 35% in the last thirty days considerably more than the S&P 500 Index. The webinar will discuss current trends and developments in the Dry Bulk sector, as well as the sector’s outlook for 2015 and beyond. It will address the following topics:
- What are the reasons behind the current market performance
- What is the outlook for the near term and for 2015-2016
- Comparison of current freight rates and asset values to their 10 – 15 year averages
- Demand drivers and outlook
- Supply situation with orderbook, delivery schedules, scrapping
- Sector catalysts
- Is the sell-off of dry bulk stocks warranted?
