Market Outlook
Braemar Seascope
Cape Market - the Year Ahead...
• Generally the market will be in oversupply but with market volatility driven by the inverse correlation with iron ore prices.
• The current recovery in the cape market is being driven by weak iron ore prices – traders taking advantage to further reduce inventory costs & generating import substitution.
• Historically, a spike in Q1 is very unusual.
• We do not believe this spike will continue in Q2.
• However we forecast a further and more sustained recovery in the 2nd half of this year.
• Freight will once again become a significant component of the landed cost of iron ore – a rising freight market and a falling fob price for iron ore.
