Week 46 Tuesday 17th November 29 Weekly Market Report Sale & Purchase Newbuilding Secondhand Demolition Chartering World Economy News Japan announced Monday its best economic growth in more than two years during the latest quarter, boosting hopes the global economy is getting back on its feet after the worst recession in decades. The world's second largest economy posted a second straight quarter of positive growth as it emerges from a severe year-long recession on the back of rebounding exports and the government's massive stimulus spending. The economy expanded 1.2% in July-September from the previous quarter - 4.8% on an annualized basis, the government reported. It was the best performance since January-March 27 and about twice as fast as expected. Exports soared 6.4% quarter-onquarter in July-September, while corporate capital expenditure rose 1.6% and household spending went up.7%. (AFP) Energy & Commodities Gold extended its record breaking run on Tuesday, helped by news of fresh central bank buying, while oil prices dipped after a strong rise in the previous session. Gold hit $1,14.85 a troy ounce following news that Mauritius had become the latest nation to buy bullion from the IMF, purchasing two tonnes of the precious metal. Although the deal was small, traders said it underlined the appetite for gold among central banks fearful about a long-term decline in the value of the US dollar, the world s main reserve currency. News of the move by Mauritius came only days afterindia bought 2 tonnes of gold from the IMF and Sri Lanka said it was purchasing gold in the open market. Gold later eased back to trade at $1,132.35 after ending Monday s session in New York at $1,139.95. After rising by more than $2 a barrel on Monday, crude oil prices dipped with Nymex December West Texas Intermediate down 46 cents to $78.44 a barrel while ICE January Brent fell 38 to $78.38 a barrel. Among the base metals, copper, down.6% at $6,85 a tonne, continued to trade strongly after hitting a high for the year on Monday at $6,86 a tonne following speculation China was preparing to allow its currency to appreciate against the dollar. (Financial Times) Shipping News All eyes are on the Baltic Exchange to see if the Dry Index posts a record high for the year. Strong Chinese demand for iron ore and coal, growing port congestion in China and Australia and tight ship availability have helped drive a rally in recent days. The index, which gauges the cost of shipping resources including iron ore, cement, grain, coal and fertilizer, rose 3.97% or 157 points to 4,111 points on Friday and was at its highest since June 3 when it hit a 29 peak in an twelfth straight session of gains. While iron ore has been the primary driver of the index s growth, coal is expected to kick in during the coming weeks as China and east Asia faces up to an unseasonably early winter with most of northern China reporting temperatures in minus territory for much of the last week. Local governments at all levels should make practical efforts to cope with cold weather and heavy snows, according to China's Ministry of Housing and Urban- Rural Development. The ministry issued a notification, asking local governments to ensure supplies of water, gas, and thermal heating in urban areas, and ensure coal supply for heat enterprises.

On the dry side, Chinese local owners are the usual clients of Chinese yards these days. In addition to the order by Qinfa Group in Guangzhou Lonxue the previous weeks, Lanhai Shipping has ordered six bulk carriers at the Yangfan yard at a reported price of $4m per vessel. Although this price seems to be very high, (Qinfa has paid around $35m for their order ) we might even see the panamax newbuilding prices rising in our next report. China Shipping placed an order for two panamax bulkers at the Jiangnan Shipyard for $65.2m total. Delivery is due in September and October 21. It is highly likely that this order will be replacing older orders that have been delayed or even cancelled. Intermodal Research 6 17/11/29
