According to CNBC, industry insiders report that the ongoing conflict in Iran has disrupted air routes through the Middle East, leading to increased costs and delivery delays for European chip importers. Since the outbreak of hostilities on February 28, airports and shipping routes have been frequently attacked, causing chaos in freight operations. According to Jin10, logistics company DSV indicates that global air freight capacity, primarily used for transporting high-value electronics like semiconductors, has decreased by approximately 9% compared to pre-war levels. DSV's air freight director, Krikken, stated that inventory levels are expected to continue declining in the coming weeks, with hopes that freight rates will return to normal. He noted that European car manufacturers are feeling the impact, as many buyers have not significantly reduced imports but have started paying premiums to ensure delivery. An informed source revealed that a European chip company is experiencing delivery delays of several days, with air freight costs rising and future trends remaining unpredictable.#EuropeanChipImporters #MiddleEastConflict #RisingCosts #DeliveryDelays #Logistics #Semiconductors #AirFreight #SupplyChain #DSV #EuropeanCarManufacturers #InventoryDecline #FreightRates #IranConflict

The Hang Seng Index fell by 524 points, closing at 25,500 points with a trading volume of 240.3 billion HKD. According to Ming Pao, the escalation of tensions in Iran has led to a rise in oil prices and bond yields. Coupled with U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's hawkish stance, these factors have contributed to a significant drop in U.S. stocks, influencing global markets to follow suit.
In this context, COSCO Shipping Energy Transportation Co., Ltd. (1138) has seen its stock price remain high, supported by elevated freight rates. The company is considered a potential hedge against further geopolitical deterioration.#GlobalMarkets #OilPrices #GeopoliticalTensions #HangSengIndex #USStocks #JeromePowell #COSCOShipping #FreightRates #IranTensions #BondYields #StockMarket

Nomura Securities analyst Eon Hwang has expressed concerns that the high valuation of Korean shipbuilding stocks may face a correction in the latter half of the year. According to Jin10, Hwang noted that while the market's expectations for increased defense contracts and rising freight rates, influenced by the Suez Canal and Hormuz Strait, may support valuations in the first half of the year, the subsequent decline in new ship prices and easing tensions in the Middle East have led Nomura to adopt a cautious outlook for the second half. Nomura has downgraded Hyundai Heavy Industries from neutral to reduce, lowering its target price by 33% to 350,000 KRW. The rating for its intermediate holding company, HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering, has also been downgraded from buy to neutral, with the target price reduced by 33% to 410,000 KRW.#KoreanShipbuilding #StockMarket #ValuationCorrection #Nomura #HyundaiHeavyIndustries #HDDKorea #DefenseContracts #FreightRates #MiddleEastTensions #ShipPrices
