Dry Bulk outlook: Rest of 216 - Dry bulk markets expected to continue suffering: Modest demand growth and oversupply of tonnage - Much is still dependent on scrapping activity, but Q2 showed that any significant movements in rates may hinder this Markets Overall dry bulk demand growth is expected to remain modest in 216 Demand for iron ore, minerals and soybeans is expected to be drivers of dry bulk demand, while decreased demand for coal, fertilizer and wheat is expected to have a negative effect on demand for tonnage Demand prospects for dry bulk commodities are modest in 216. However, a small growth in demand will continue to be off-set by the oversupply of dry bulk vessels World fleet Scrapping activity; 8.2m DWT in 216 Q2; down almost 6% vis-àvis 216 Q1. This happened concurrently with a Q2 rise in freight rates, indicating that scrapping activity is subdued as soon as rates improve In 216 H1, contracting was minimal: Only one new Handysize vessel has been ordered, while no new Supramax vessels has been ordered. (Capes has been ordered though) Main concern is if scrapping activity will fall even further in 216 H2 by any hints of a recovery of and/or small increases in freight rates Spot market rates (USD/day) 2.
