Evercore ISI analyst Jon Chappell has cut his already low rate projections for the dry bulk sector even further because of “hideous” market conditions.<\/p>\n

Chappell had noted in February that rates were below operating costs, creating an “unsustainable” situation. “Well, 10 weeks later, not only are rates still sub-operating costs, but some rates are even lower today, mainly in the Capesize trades,” said Chappell in his latest sector outlook.<\/p>\n

He blamed the “unprecedented market weakness” on lingering over-capacity from the pre-financial crisis bull market, “exacerbated by increasingly negative economic signs emerging from China, particularly for the commodities that dominate dry bulk trade”.<\/p>\n

Chappell pointed out that Chinese iron ore imports were up only 2% in 1Q15 versus 1Q14, while coal imports “are down an unbelievable 42%”.<\/p>\n

He now expects Capesize spot rates to average just USD8,000\/day for full-year 2015. That is down 33% from his February forecast and down 39% from average rates last year.<\/p>\n

He has kept his 2015 Panamax forecast unchanged at USD6,000\/day, but lowered his Supramax forecast to USD7,000\/day (down 13% from his February forecast), and his Handymax estimate to USD6,200\/day (down 11% from February).<\/p>\n

In 2016, Chappell believes Capesizes will average USD12,000\/day, Panamaxes USD7,000\/day, Supramaxes USD8,000\/day, and Handymaxes USD7,000\/day.<\/p>\n\n
