Container freight futures experienced significant volatility in recent sessions, with a notable surge in prices for contracts due in June and August, which reached limit-up moves of 16%. December contracts rose by 3.5%, February by 8%, and April by 11%. However, following the election of Donald Trump, shares of leading container shipping companies fell sharply, with ZIM down 8%, Maersk down 7%, and Hapag-Lloyd down 5%. The market reacted to concerns regarding the potential impact of a Trump presidency on global trade volumes and ocean freight rates. Clean tanker stocks faced declines, while dirty tanker stocks showed mixed results. Notable prices for US-listed maritime stocks included Frontline at $18.85, down 0.63%, and Nordic American Tankers at $3.18, up 3.58%. Container freight futures opened slightly higher at 3.5% on November 7, with projections indicating a possible downturn in 2025, predicting a decrease of 5-10% for the rest of that year.
