Some further dramatic moves on the Indian Rupee
this week once again shocked end buyers into submission, as extreme market volatility
once again reared its head in India.
The Rupee
made an unexpected and sharp depreciation just over INR 62 against the US
Dollar, leaving many cash buyers and end buyers cursing their luck, having only
recently acquired some high priced inventory.
Those lucky
enough not to buy, retreated into their shells monitoring market movements with
interest most buyers will perhaps wish to see Diwali holidays out before
returning to the bidding table in a few weeks.
There were
however some further interesting sales to note, in signs that some cash buyers
are continuing to ignore the overall market volatility, just to get their hands
on some tonnage and hoping for a post Diwali boom in prices.
The Chinese
controlled general cargo tween vessel ZHONG XIANG (8,671 LDT) achieved a
remarkable USD 512/LT LDT the favorable size, heavy prop, November delivery,
and low beam, all contributing to the decent price on show.
Additionally, the RoRo / container vessel
JOLLY ARANCIONE (20,748 LDT) was committed for a similarly decent USD 463 per
LT LDT (‘as is’ Port Rashid) despite having approximately 4,000 T permanent
ballast included in the lightweight (making cutting activity, a tough procedure
for end buyers).
