  • Narrowing demand- supply gap may rule out rate hikes
    A rapidly narrowing gap between demand and supply growth next year, along with global leading economic indicators pointing to a slow-down, will mean limited opportunities for further rate hikes, according to analysts.
  • Tanker rates seen stable ahead of Dec cargoes
    OIL tanker freight rates from the Persian Gulf may change little this week as bookings slow after refiners matched November cargoes with transport and await their December programme, which is due in coming days.
  • Wilh Wilhelmsen's 9-mth profit doubles
