Market Focus07-09 09:23

On July 9, SITC International fell 4% at open, trading at 32.26 HKD/share, with turnover of 6.6456 million HKD. The shipping sector has been under sustained pressure recently, with broad-based weakness on July 7 as COSCO Shipping Holdings fell 3.05%, Orient Overseas International fell 3.36%, and Pacific Basin Shipping fell 2.68%.

CICC noted that the container shipping segment underperformed the broader market in H1, and while Europe-US mainline freight rates remain above carrier breakeven levels, industry volatility is gradually converging. Additionally, declining oil prices have weakened momentum for fuel surcharge increases, potentially suppressing expectations for late-July rate hikes. SITC International reported Q1 average freight rates down approximately 4.7% year-over-year to $766 per TEU, and despite a 7.6% increase in container shipping volume to 855,795 TEUs, the volume-up-rate-down dynamic continues to weigh on market sentiment.
