TANKER RATES TURN NEGATIVE FOR FIRST-TIME EVER AS US LNG FLOCKS TO EUROPE

By Tsvetana Paraskova via OilPrice.com,

...recent slide in LNG tanker rates is a dramatic shift from late last year when freight rates reached an all-time high

The spot charter rates for shipping U.S. liquefied natural gas to Europe have just turned negative, suggesting that there are now too many LNG vessels in the Atlantic region but fewer requirements, according to LNG freight price assessor Spark Commodities.

In December and January, dozens of cargoes of U.S. LNG flocked to Europe, which had a record-high natural gas price amid the gas and energy crisis. The crisis pushed regional LNG prices way above the Asian LNG benchmark and 14 times higher than the U.S. Henry Hub price. Tankers were not only traveling between the U.S. and Europe, but many were also diverted away from Asia to Europe as spot sellers took advantage of the higher gas prices in Europe.

As the number of available LNG tankers in the Atlantic basin surged, freight rates plummeted. On Tuesday, Spark Commodities assessed its first-ever negative spot LNG freight rate at -$750/day for the Spark30S Atlantic assessment.

The negative freight rate “Highlights how current vessel charter payments do not cover the fuel cost of ballasting the vessel back to load port. Lots of ships and few requirements,” Spark Commodities noted.

Now the soaring European imports from the U.S. have sent spot freight rates below zero.

Europe was the top destination for U.S. LNG exports in January, for a second month running, ahead of Asia, according to Refinitiv data cited by Reuters last week. Roughly two-thirds of U.S. LNG exports traveled to Europe last month after 61 percent of American LNG shipments went to Europe in December.

CHINA'S "NATIONAL TEAM" IS GOOD AT KILLING STOCK VOLATILITY

By Ye Xie, Bloomberg Markets Live strategist and commentator

The old adage is don’t fight the central bank. In China’s context, it’s don’t fight the national team when they want to kill volatility.

Chinese state-backed funds reportedly intervened in the stock market on Tuesday, helping stem the biggest intraday loss since August 2021.

Since the bursting of the stock bubble in 2015, Bloomberg has reported at least seven occasions when the so-called “national team” came to the rescue when the market was cratering. The efforts didn’t always stop the bleeding immediately. But what they are good at is smothering volatility, which may be the very purpose of the intervention.

The most-recent prior appearance of the “national team” occurred in March 2021, when the surge in U.S. yields hammered some highly-valued Chinese stocks during the National People’s Congress. They also intervened during the U.S.-China trade war in 2018 and 2019, and in 2016 in the aftermath of the stock crash.

What’s more compelling is that the intervention consistently reduced market swings. State funds typically came in when 10-day volatility surged above at least 20. On average, volatility jumped by 9 points a month before the intervention, and declined by almost 14 points in the following month.

In addition to volatility, there could be other clues to predict when the national team may step in. The recent episodes were related to external factors, such as tariff announcements in August 2018. On a few occasions, there seems to have been coordinated efforts by state media to talk up markets before the official intervention, although there have been plenty of false alarms. For instance, two weeks ago, state papers, including Shanghai Securities Journal, called for investors not to overreact to the market decline, saying A-shares have solid support from policies and fund flows.

The old adage is don’t fight the central bank. In China’s context, it’s don’t fight the national team when they want to kill volatility.
