Shipping disruptions in the Red Sea have led to increased shipping rates in container ships, oil tankers, and dry bulk. Container ships are the most affected trade, followed by oil tankers.

J Mintzmyer's Note Of Caution On Shipping

Shipping stocks have underperformed the S&P 500 in the past decade but have outperformed the market year-to-date. The SonicShares Global Shipping ETF is a globally diversified ETF with equal exposure to container and energy shipping, and it has a modified cap-weighted structure. Shipping stocks typically have low but volatile profits, meaning that the best point to take a position is when they are cheap and distressed.

Recent weeks have seen a surge in security threats in the Red Sea, primarily due to attacks by Yemen-based Houthi militants. This has forced shipping companies to adjust their usual navigation routes, resulting in an unintended substantial rise in freight rates.

Time for Shipping ETFs?

Exchange-traded funds that track shipping stocks were surging on Friday after U.S.-led militaries launched airstrikes on Yemen's Houthi rebels in response to their attacks on Red Sea shipping, fueling market concerns about the Israel-Hamas war widening into a broader conflict in the Middle East that could prompt further spike in oil prices and in the cost of shipping.

Houthi Attacks in Red Sea to Boost These ETF Areas

Small caps are breaking out higher but most sectors are extended. A number of shipping stocks have been steadily building big bases, and a handful have already broken out higher from theirs. The market is heavily positioned for a 2024 recession, having already priced in 6 rate cuts by the Fed. This mitigates the downside risk in shipping stocks.

Shipping & Energy ETFs Gaining From Red Sea Attack

We didn't expect a quiet year for trade and supply chains, but before it even started, the vital shipping sector has once again been pushed into the centre of geopolitical conflicts. Companies have started avoiding the Red Sea and this already leads to significant delays in supply chains and prices hikes on the spot market – and it could still get worse.

Red Sea Avoidance Signals A Disruptive Start To 2024 For Trade And Supply Chains

Exchange-traded funds that track U.S. shipping stocks continued to surge on Tuesday after the world's major container shippers rerouted their tankers to avoid sailing through the Red Sea following attacks by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi militants, as violence linked to the Israel-Hamas conflict prompted another spike in oil prices and in the cost of shipping.

Despite headwinds, this shipping industry stands to benefit from favorable factors such as the reopening of the Chinese economy since early 2023 and an improvement in the demand for goods and commodities compared to the lows experienced during the pandemic.
