Crude tankers are holding steady with an average move around +1.7%, while product tankers are also firm, with names like TORM and Ardmore showing strength

    LNG shipping is positive but lagging slightly, which keeps the internal divergence across energy flows intact

    What matters here is not just direction, but how different parts of the chain are behaving at the same time

    When crude, products and LNG don’t move in sync, it usually points to adjustments in routing, refining demand and regional balances rather than a simple price move

    Right now the structure suggests flows are being redistributed across the system, with shipping starting to reflect that shift

    For anyone interested, I wrote a deeper Commodities Radar where I go through oil, LNG, shipping and cross-commodity flows in more detail

      I would love to understand this but that all to me in jumble I’m afraid, what’s the message here that flows of oils aren’t as disrupted as we thought at first and that the oil production cuts aren’t as threatening?
      I’m afriad I don’t understand that chart

      Shipping company stocks are at best a secondary indicator – a lot of them aren’t listed.

      You want to be looking at the freight markets for short term stuff and sales and purchase for long term.

      Wait so using shipping stocks, you think flows aren’t shut in? Why not look at primary flow data like kpler or Vortexa?

      I cannot disagree further with your take that this isn’t an issue based on tanker prices. It is a bad read of the indicator. Close to 13 mbd stopped coming to market.

      I really feel the future market has been manipulated by the treasury. Whether it’s selling short contracts or direct shorting. Maybe it’s ridiculous but so is the market.

    5. Is this becoming the hideout for market manipulators and WSB types? I thought this was more geared towards industry people.

      The fracturing of shipping into a shadow fleet and a western government complaint fleet.
