Baltic Dry Index: The BDI, a measure of commodity-shipping costs, extended a retreat beyond a two-year low on a surplus of vessels and a curbing of demand by adverse weather and export bans. The index fell 19 points, to 1,045 points, the lowest since 29Jan09…
We continue to note that key beneficiaries of a declining BDI are CWT & GoodPack, with CWT having around 40% rev derived from freight forwarding, whereby a falling freight rate environment will help the company to boost its freight forwarding margins as CWT books freights after settling the contracts with its customers….
Similar to CWT, Goodpack, another logistics services company is also impacted by freight rates. A falling freight rate environment could also boost the company’s margins going forward. While Dry Bulk Charterers, STX PO, Mercartor Lines and Courage Marine, together with Bulk Carrier Builder Cosco could see some negative sentiments on share price.
