SEOUL/SINGAPORE (Reuters) -Congestion at Singapore's container port is at its worst since the COVID-19 pandemic, a sign of how prolonged vessel re-routing to avoid Red Sea attacks has disrupted global ocean shipping - with bottlenecks also appearing in other Asian and European ports. Retailers, manufacturers and other industries that rely on massive box ships are again battling surging rates, port backups and shortages of empty containers, even as many consumer-oriented firms look to build inventories heading into the peak year-end shopping season. Global port congestion has reached an 18-month high, with 60% of ships waiting at anchor located in Asia, maritime data firm Linerlytica said this month.

Sending goods around the world by ship is at least five times as expensive as it was last year, putting new cost pressures on companies and raising the specter of prolonged inflation. Container ship rates from Asia to Europe have jumped to about $8,000 per 40-foot shipping container, up from an average of $1,500 last year, according to Jefferies analyst Omar Nokta. Geopolitical tension is the biggest reason—the Houthi faction in Yemen continues to attack ships in the Red Sea in protest of Israel’s war in Gaza, despite efforts by the U.S. and others to stop the attacks.
U.S. oil and gas companies could face an uphill struggle to sell about $27 billion of assets to fund investor payouts over the next few years as the biggest wave of energy megamergers in 25 years nears the end of regulatory reviews. Energy stocks represent just 4.1% by weight of the S&P 500, a third of their 2011 share as tech and health care investments took off. There are fewer institutional and European oil buyers interested, and a lack of ready cash to finance these deals.
STORY: Boeing looks set to resume delivering jets in China, after being hit by a regulatory probe. Thats according to Reuters sources, who say widebody 777 and 787 planes will start getting to customers within days. Deliveries of 737 MAX jets are expected to resume a little later. Reuters first reported in May that Boeing had halted handing over new planes in the country. That was while Chinese watchdogs reviewed concerns over batteries used in cockpit voice recorders. The delays, combined with factory disruption, led Boeing to warn that second quarter cash burn could be worse than expected.A filing at the end of last year showed Boeing had 85 MAX jets waiting for delivery to Chinese customers. Around a quarter of those were subsequently delivered by the end of April. Jet makers are largely paid on delivery of their planes, meaning cash flow takes a big hit if new aircraft are stuck at the factory. Separately Thursday, U.S. watchdogs sanctioned Boeing for leaking details of an investigation into the midair blowout on a MAX jet in January. Regulators said the firm had “blatantly violated” the rules, by giving confidential material to the media. The National Transportation Safety Board said Boeing would no longer be granted access to information on the investigation.
AMSTERDAM/HAMBURG (Reuters) -Nexperia, one of the world's largest makers of basic semiconductors such as diodes and transistors, said on Thursday it would invest $200 million to expand capacity at its main production site in Hamburg, Germany. The investment by Dutch-headquartered Nexperia, owned by Chinese electronics maker WingTech, is a rare example of a computer chip investment made in Europe without assistance from state subsidies under the EU's Chips Act launched in 2023. It also comes as the European Union is considering whether China is unfairly subsidising domestic Chinese production of simple "legacy" chips, found in cars, electric systems, smartphones and industrial applications.

Presidential policies can have a ripple effect throughout the economy and broader markets. With the 2024 presidential election coming up — and the first debate happening on Thursday, June 27 — uncertainty around several sectors arises as candidates President Joe Biden and Former President Donald Trump have very different views on how to run the country. One of those markets that could shift drastically on policy alone is commodities, with crude oil (BZ=F, CL=F) and gas prices (RB=F) already facing pressure from geopolitical volatility. Blue Line Futures Chief Market Strategist Phil Streible joins Market Domination to provide insights into what investors should keep in mind with the commodity market during an election year and how each candidate may impact the market: "Energies are one of the top focuses that we're going to be watching. Under Trump, we were energy independent. We did also have a hard stance on Iran. It makes a play for lower energy prices if Trump was to come into office where we are much more dependent on OPEC, South American oil, it's very difficult for oil and gas exploration companies to get those permits to expand wells." Streible continues: "With the green energy Initiative front and center under the Biden administration, it's just really tough with the regulations in order to boost that output. So you're going to see more elevated energy prices with Biden around." For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Market Domination.
