Original Title: Could shipping shares offer safe haven as broader stock market fears mount?
Original Content: It was an ugly day on Wall Street on Monday, and the concern is there will be more declines to come. Shipping stocks in some vessel segments might offer a path for investors to offset exposure to headwinds It was an ugly day on Wall Street on Monday, and the concern is there will be more declines to come. Shipping stocks in some vessel segments might offer a path for investors to offset exposure to headwinds THE BROADER stock market is under pressure due to concerns over excessively rich tech valuations and a weakening, tariff-impaired US economy. Shipping stock performance has been pulling away from the pack, led by strong rate fundamentals in several segments. Crude tanker and containership lessor stocks have been leading the upward charge in recent weeks. Stocks in these two categories have risen significantly since the end of September on positive news in quarterly calls and recent rate developments. Lloyd’s List analysed the change in adjusted closing prices of US- and European-listed shipping equities with market caps over $300m from December 31, 2024 to November 17, 2025. Stocks were categorised by segment, with average year-to-date (YTD) segment changes weighted by the market caps of the component stocks. These changes were then compared to YTD moves of the SPDR exchange-traded fund, which tracks the S&P 500 index, a proxy for the broader stock market, as well as to Breakwave’s two shipping ETFs, the BDRY dry bulk ETF and BWET crude tanker ETF.
