MSC has sent seven vessels through Bab el Mandeb in two weeks as Maersk increases Red Sea volumes and carriers reassess Cape diversions.
MSC has sent seven vessels through Bab el Mandeb in two weeks as Maersk increases Red Sea volumes and carriers reassess Cape diversions. August 18, 2026 MSChas seen seven vessels pass through the Bab el Mandeb Strait in the past two weeks andMaerskhas increased its Red Sea volumes as carriers continue to test the water. The Switzerland-headquartered carrier has not formally announced its return to the Suez Canal route and, so far, its sailings via the waterway have been limited to eastbound voyages. “It sends a clear signal that the full resumption of Red Sea transits could come earlier than anticipated”, said consultant Linerlytica. “MSC’s move to resume partial Red Sea transits for its Europe-Asia services afterCMA CGMandMaerskalready making the switch on both directions may trigger more carriers to reconsider their Cape diversions,” it added. Maersk has already returned 30% of its volumes that were routed around the Cape of Good Hope to Red Sea and Suez Canal transits. The return of the MECL, the ME11 and AE19 services to the Red Sea along with the continued CMA CGM services has prompted MSC to begin a phased return to the route, which can slash seven to 14 days sailing time from Asia to Europe. Related:Container lines under fire over Panama Canal surcharge lack of transparency With Maersk CEO Vincent Clerc already declaring that the “conditions for a full return to the Red Sea have already been met,” it would seem that the race to return to the shorter transit times has begun in earnest. Another driver for the return to the Suez Canal is Asian port delays as congestion has built at Far Eastern ports due mainly to a series of typhoons. “Congestion remains elevated over the past week particularly inChinawhere waiting times at key ports in Shanghai, Ningbo and Shenzhen are as high as 12 days as they continue to work through the vessel backlog from last week’s typhoon,” said Linerlytica. Competition for market share may have added to the pressure for MSC to return to Suez, while the Gemini Cooperation has made reliability a cornerstone of its services, claiming more than 90% of on-time transits — port delays will certainly impact that target. Asia to Europe rates have slipped for the sixth consecutive week according to the Shanghai Container Freight Index, down 14% and 17%, to North Europe and the Mediterranean respectively, as the consultant says volumes in the trade have peaked . “Although some carriers are aiming for a modest rate hike in September of around $500/feu, the market momentum remains negative,” said Linerlytica.

Ripresa IPO nel 2026 può interrompere il trend ventennale della de-equitization ANSA
(Teleborsa) – “La ripresa delle quotazioni di nuove società nel 2026, partita con SpaceX e destinata a proseguire nella seconda parte dell’anno, potrebbe interrompere un trend in atto da due decenni: la cosiddetta “de-equitization” ovvero una domanda crescente e un’offerta ridotta di azioni da parte del settore privato, che ha sostenuto notevolmente la performance del mercato azionario”. Questa la visione di Giuseppe Patara, Head of Portfolio Management Europe di Pictet Wealth Management.
Negli ultimi vent’anni, evidenzia Patara, il “saldo netto tra acquisti di azioni proprie ed emissioni di nuovi titoli è stata estremamente favorevole per i mercati, registrando una domanda nettamente superiore all’offerta”. Tuttavia, “tale sostegno sta ora venendo meno, man mano che le aziende cercano capitali sufficienti per finanziare un forte incremento delle spese in conto capitale”.
Pictet prevede che questa “maggiore domanda di capitale eserciterà una pressione al ribasso sull’attività complessiva di riacquisto di azioni proprie, ma genererà un forte aumento delle emissioni azionarie, anche se concentrate su un numero limitato di titoli”.
Il principale fattore in grado di spingere le emissioni azionarie oltre le attese – prosegue Patara – riguarda le vendite successive alla quotazione. La maggior parte delle società colloca sul mercato solo una quota ridotta del proprio capitale in fase di IPO, a cui seguono vendite da parte degli investitori preesistenti man mano che scadono i periodi di “lock-up” prestabiliti. Un caso emblematico è SpaceX, che ha collocato il 5% delle azioni durante la recente IPO di giugno, mentre il restante 95% è soggetto a diversi periodi di “lock-up” nell’arco dei successivi 12 mesi circa. Ai prezzi attuali tale quota residua del 95% rappresenta una potenziale offerta aggiuntiva superiore ai 2.000 miliardi di dollari.
“Le nuove quotazione di azioni – osserva il portfolio manager di Pictet – potrebbero diventare più problematiche da assorbire per i mercati man mano che ci si avvicina al 2027″, considerato che anche “altre IPO di società a mega-capitalizzazione richiederanno capitali al mercato”. Pensiamo ad Anthropic e a OpenAI.
A seguito delle emissioni azionarie record di quest’anno, conclude Patara, “il divario tra la domanda derivante dai riacquisti di azioni proprie e l’offerta di titoli è destinato a scendere ai minimi dai primi anni 2000”. Ma, avverte, “non siamo ancora giunti ad un punto di inversione in cui l’emissione netta diventa positiva (più offerta che domanda)”, tuttavia “ciò potrebbe accadere nel corso di quest’anno o del prossimo, qualora le emissioni dovessero superare le attese”.
