55. Conlusions
⢠Chinese real estate market the main driver for iron ore imports
ď If the house prices keep rising and destocking of housing continues, new activity may follow.
⢠Chinese coal import policies and Indian domestic coal production the main drivers for coal trade
ď We think Chinese coal imports bottomed out in 2015 and expect it to stagnate during 2016 and thereafter
grow at a moderate pace as domestic output reduces.
ď We think that demand growth will eventually outperform production growth in India and expect imports
to stagnate/reduce during 2016 and thereafter grow at a steady pace.
⢠We expect all time high grain/oilseed trade in 15/16 Marketing Year and steady growth thereafter.
⢠We expect a steady growth in Minor Bulks trade and shifting trade patterns
⢠Earnings will be rangebound over 2016 as supply is elastic to demand through:
ď Speed optimalization
ď Scrapping/Slippage/Cancellations
ď Newbuildings
56. Conlusions
⢠Shipping as well as Commodities move in Cycles
⢠2003 to 2008 period was an exceptional period and an aberration
⢠As it stands today, both shipping and commodities are back to moving in cycles
⢠Historically, the low prices of commodities and low shipping costs should spur new trades and boost existing
trades as well.
⢠China remains a huge influence due to its sheer size, even if in a subdued form.
⢠Due to the technological advances and economic interdependence, there is a massive intent among countries,
especially in Asia, to promote trade and stimulate demand.
⢠Geo political uncertainties have brought together unlikely allies and therefore the possibility of new trades and
deals.
