Persian Gulf Disruption Tightens Air Cargo Capacity, Container Shipping Effects More Muted -- Market Talk

Dow Jones
03/24

1042 GMT - The Persian Gulf war is now in week four, disrupting operations in the Strait of Hormuz and at Middle East airports, impacting 2%-3% of global sea freight volumes and around 15% of air freight capacity, J.P.Morgan analysts write. Oil prices have increased materially and the bank expects higher freight rates to offset increased costs. However, ultimately the success in recovering higher costs depends on supply-demand fundamentals. The earnings impact for container shipping is balanced and the recent sector outperformance is difficult to justify, J.P.Morgan says. In contrast, air cargo capacity has tightened and strong air freight rates should support yields for forwarders. It reiterates its underweight ratings on Maersk, Hapag-Lloyd, ZIM and Kuehne+Nagel stocks and its overweight stance on DSV and DHL. (dominic.chopping@wsj.com)
