In Apr 25, Trump’s steep tariffs triggered a drop in oil prices amid worries about oil demand and excess OPEC supply. Shipping has also been impacted; however, this may be somewhat limited as US-China trade forms just 5% of global container volumes, offset by rapidly growing intra-Asia trade. In the drilling market, deepwater rigs are still the most resilient segment. Maintain OVERWEIGHT on the sector. Top picks are STM and MPM with YZJ appearing to have very favourable risk/reward at present.
