On July 7, SITC International fell 3.28% in regular trading, trading at HK$32.5/share, with turnover of HK$69.44 million. The marine sector saw broad-based weakness, with sector peers COSCO SHIP HOLD down 3.05%, OOIL down 3.36%, Pacific Basin down 2.68%, TS Lines down 1.4%, and LC Logistics down 0.7%.

On the industry front, Asia-Pacific and European industrial raw material shipping demand has experienced cyclical cooling, with reduced iron ore ocean orders and ample short-term capacity supply creating a loose supply-demand balance that has suppressed freight rate trends. Declining oil prices have weakened motivation for fuel surcharge increases, potentially dampening late-July container shipping rate hike expectations and weighing on sector sentiment.
