In this Week 32, 2026 episode of the GMS Weekly Podcast, Grace and Ryan discuss the latest developments shaping the global ship recycling market, including the temporary Strait of Hormuz shipping corridor, rising dry bulk freight rates, oil prices, recycling demand and market conditions across Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Turkey. Iran and Oman have agreed to a temporary shipping corridor through the Strait of Hormuz, although significant conditions and geopolitical risks remain. Proposed transit restrictions and penalties, together with renewed security incidents around the Strait, continue to create uncertainty for commercial shipping. Brent crude closed near USD 83 per barrel, down roughly 5% for the week and around 15% from its July peak. Dry bulk freight strengthened sharply, with the Baltic Dry Index moving above 3,000 for the first time since early June and Capesize earnings rising more than 20% during the week. Stronger freight earnings are increasing competition with ship recycling by encouraging owners to keep older vessels trading. Bangladesh remains the leading ship recycling destination on price, with Chattogram buyers maintaining firm confidence as the market prepares for the next delivery tide window. India's Alang market is showing renewed appetite, supported by a stronger Rupee and improving local steel prices, while the proposed inclusion of two Alang yards on the EU Ship Recycling List remains pending. Pakistan's Gadani market has converted firm pricing into new business, securing several recent candidates as local mills continue to rely on recycled steel supply. Pakistan's inflation eased to 9.2%, while the central bank maintained rates at 11.5%. In Turkey, official inflation eased to 31.75%, although the Lira reached fresh lows and Aliaga recycling prices remained substantially below the Indian sub-continent. The episode examines what these developments mean for shipowners, cash buyers and ship recyclers, as stronger recycling demand across South Asia competes with a resurgent freight market for available end-of-life tonnage. Key topics include: ship recycling, GMS Weekly, Strait of Hormuz shipping corridor, Hormuz transit, Baltic Dry Index, Capesize freight rates, Bangladesh ship recycling, Chattogram recycling market, India ship recycling, Alang ship recycling, Pakistan ship recycling, Gadani recycling market, Turkey ship recycling, Aliaga, steel prices, end-of-life vessels, cash buyers, maritime sanctions, oil prices and global shipping markets.

In this Week 29, 2026 episode of the GMS Weekly Podcast, Grace and Ryan examine the renewed geopolitical, freight, currency and operational pressures shaping the global ship recycling market. The United States has reinstated its naval blockade of Iranian ports following several days of strikes around Bandar Abbas, Qeshm Island and Sirik. A tanker reportedly heading toward Kharg Island was disabled after ignoring warnings, while two additional vessels were redirected. The renewed escalation has pushed Brent crude close to USD 85 per barrel and increased uncertainty around Gulf vessel movements, war-risk premiums and recycling decisions. Dry bulk freight remains firm. The Baltic Dry Index reached 2,944, its highest level since early June, while stronger Capesize earnings continue to give owners of ageing vessels an incentive to remain in service rather than commit tonnage for recycling. Across the major ship recycling destinations, severe flooding and landslides in Bangladesh have caused significant loss of life, displaced more than one million people and brought beaching and local steel trading in Chattogram close to a standstill. Bangladesh remains the highest-ranked recycling destination, but sentiment and price indications have softened. India continues to offer the deepest recycling capacity and strongest compliance infrastructure, although the Rupee weakened toward 96.40 and Alang remains the lowest-priced sub-continent market. Pakistan's currency and steel prices remained exceptionally stable despite renewed Gulf tensions, while Turkey continues to operate as a regulation-driven niche market. Key topics include: Strait of Hormuz blockade, Iranian port restrictions, Brent crude prices, Baltic Dry Index, Capesize freight, ageing vessel supply, ship recycling demand, Chattogram flooding, Alang recycling capacity, Gadani war-risk premiums, Aliaga recycling, currencies, steel prices and market rankings.

In this Week 26, 2026 episode of the GMS Weekly Podcast, we analyze a turning point for the global ship recycling market as the Strait of Hormuz reopens, vessel traffic begins to recover, Brent crude falls below USD 74 per barrel, and freight markets continue to normalize. The war premium that supported older vessels trading at sea is now unwinding. Brent has dropped sharply from wartime highs, WTI is below USD 70, and the Baltic Dry Index has eased from its June peak. For ship recycling, this changes the supply outlook: older tonnage has fewer reasons to keep trading, and the first post-reopening sale marker has appeared with the Andhika Paramesti, a 9,369 LDT bulker, sold to Bangladesh at USD 460 per LDT on an as-is Sambu basis. However, recycling yards across the Indian subcontinent are not yet able to fully absorb the expected candidate flow. Ashura holidays and the South Asian monsoon continue to slow beaching activity in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan. The result is a market where ships are moving again, the recycling queue is building, but the yards are still waiting for weather and timing to improve. This episode covers the latest market conditions in Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Turkey, including steel prices, currency movements, yard appetite, compliance positioning, and the changing post-war dynamics across Chattogram, Alang, Gadani, and Aliaga. Key themes this week: Strait of Hormuz reopening, falling oil prices, cooling dry bulk freight, emerging recycling supply, Bangladesh demand, India's recovering Rupee, Pakistan's fading wartime premium, Turkey's regulated niche role, and monsoon-related beaching delays.

The global ship recycling market has entered a new chapter as the United States and Iran sign an interim peace agreement, reopening the Strait of Hormuz after more than 100 days of closure. In Week 25 of 2026, Brent crude collapsed to approximately USD 78 per barrel, erasing the entire war premium that had carried prices above USD 126 in late April. WTI also eased toward USD 75, while sanctions relief and the restart of halted Gulf oil production shifted market focus from supply disruption to potential oversupply. For the global ship recycling industry, this is a major turning point. The two forces that kept older vessels trading instead of recycling, high bunker costs and strong freight earnings, are now weakening together. The Baltic Dry Index eased to around 2,653 on June 17, while daily Capesize earnings fell to approximately USD 35,162 from the late-May high near USD 49,511. However, the timing remains difficult. Although peace has reopened the sea route and reduced the bunker-cost floor, the Indian subcontinent is now deep in the monsoon season. Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan continue to show demand, financing, and yard appetite, but beaching activity remains limited by weather. This week's episode examines: The interim US-Iran peace agreement and reopening of the Strait of Hormuz Brent crude collapsing toward USD 78 and the evaporation of the war premium Why lower bunker costs could finally release older vessels for recycling The continued cooling of dry bulk freight and Capesize earnings Why the monsoon now controls the beaching calendar across South Asia Bangladesh's stable Taka, steady steel prices, and strong post-monsoon outlook India's Rupee rally, softer Alang steel, and improving macro position Pakistan's firm Rupee, strong steel pricing, and fading Gulf proximity premium Turkey's Lira breaking 46 per dollar and Aliaga's continued EU-regulated niche Why the second half of 2026 may bring the strongest candidate flow since February Key market takeaway: Peace has been signed, the Strait of Hormuz has reopened, Brent has returned near pre-war levels, and the freight premium is cooling. The deferred wave of recycling candidates is now being primed, but the monsoon remains the immediate constraint. The ships are free to move, but the beaches must wait for the rains to ease. Peace is signed. The premium is gone. The ships are moving. But the rains reign.

The war premium in global shipping and energy markets has finally cracked, but the ship recycling market is still waiting for the final signature. In Week 24 of 2026, Brent crude fell sharply toward USD 89 per barrel, its lowest level since March, after President Trump suspended planned military strikes against Iran and signalled that a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz could be signed as early as this weekend. Iran is also reported to be moving closer to approval, although no final agreement has yet been confirmed. For the global ship recycling industry, this is a major turning point. The two forces that kept older vessels trading instead of recycling, high bunker costs and strong freight earnings, are now softening at the same time. The Baltic Dry Index eased to around 2,818, while Capesize earnings cooled to approximately USD 40,274 per day after last week's peak near USD 49,511. However, the timing remains difficult. The monsoon has now taken control of the beaching calendar across the Indian subcontinent, limiting near-term recycling activity even as macro conditions begin to improve. This week's episode examines: Brent crude falling toward USD 89 and the cracking of the war premium The possible US-Iran agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz The proposed 30-day de-mining timeline for Hormuz Why lower oil prices and softer freight could eventually release older tonnage Why the monsoon now controls beaching activity across South Asia Bangladesh's stable Taka, steady steel prices, and strong Q3 demand outlook India's Rupee recovery, softer Alang steel prices, and improving macro position Pakistan's rising annual CPI, easing monthly inflation, and firm Gadani pricing How a Hormuz reopening may gradually reduce Pakistan's Gulf proximity premium Turkey's inflation pressure, Lira stability, and continued EU-regulated recycling niche Subcontinent recycling prices, vessel supply, and cash buyer sentiment Why the second half of 2026 may look more constructive than the first Key market takeaway: The war premium has cracked, Brent has moved below USD 90, freight has cooled, and currencies across the recycling markets have repaired themselves. But the beaching window is now governed by the monsoon. If the Hormuz agreement is signed and the 30-day de-mining clock begins, older tonnage may eventually face renewed pressure toward recycling, but not immediately. The premium cracks. The pen hovers. The monsoon rules.

Everything around the Indian economy looks shaky, i.e., a months-long conflict, a sliding rupee, and a government telling people to stop buying gold. Except for one important caveat: India's market continues to hold on. The Sensex and Nifty have barely moved. The reason why that seems to be happening is pretty simple — every month, Indian households pour ₹31,000 crore into equity through SIP (Systematic Investment Plans), and that steady flow is exactly the liquidity foreign investors are using to sell down and leave without crashing anything. So the rupee slides, the RBI burns reserves to slow the fall, and the saver gets squeezed from both ends. Eventually, they are told to stay in the market and to stop buying gold. Essentially, the Indian saver is not just holding the market up - they may be funding the exit.Praveen puts that thesis to two of the sharpest minds in Indian markets, and they spend the next ninety minutes taking it apart. Anupam Manur argues that foreigners are leaving for real, structural reasons and puts forward a “triple loss” argument, which says that propping up an overvalued market is the way because the Indian saver has nowhere else to go. Deepak Shenoy, on the other hand, argues we're worried about the wrong thing entirely: foreigners still hold most of their money here, we've seen this exact exit before, and the SIP saver isn't going anywhere. Where they land together is stranger than where they started, with specific fixes and policy changes that they'd do in this current situation. The most provocative one is the one that Deepak puts across - "Free the rupee. Let it go. It'll come back."This episode is a conversation about who really owns the Indian market, whether the SIP saver is a floor, and what India would actually have to do to break the loop.GuestsAnupam Manur — Professor of Economics, Takshashila InstitutionDeepak Shenoy — Founder & CEO, CapitalmindReferencesAnupam's piece: Taxing Mobile Capital and the Limits of Domestic Absorption (Takshashila)Deepak on X: @DeepakShenoy

VOV1 - Trong nỗ lực giảm phụ thuộc vào dầu thô nhập khẩu và thúc đẩy chuyển đổi năng lượng, Ấn Độ đang thúc đẩy sản xuất các dòng xe sử dụng nhiên liệu linh hoạt (flex-fuel), có khả năng vận hành với hỗn hợp xăng sinh học pha trộn ethanol với tỷ lệ lên tới 85%.Phát biểu tại lễ ra mắt các mẫu xe máy nhiên liệu linh hoạt (flex-fuel) đầu tiên của Hero MotoCorp ở thủ đô New Delhi, Bộ trưởng Dầu khí Ấn Độ Hardeep Singh Puri cho rằng xe nhiên liệu linh hoạt là giải pháp thiết thực để giảm nhập khẩu dầu thô, thúc đẩy giao thông phát thải thấp và tăng cường sức sống cho kinh tế nông thôn.Ông Puri mô tả sự kiện ra mắt 2 mẫu xe máy nhiên liệu linh hoạt (Splendor+ và HF Deluxe Flex Fuel) là “một chương mới trong lịch sử năng lượng của Ấn Độ”, đánh dấu bước tiến của nước này vào thị trường xe nhiên liệu linh hoạt đại chúng. Các mẫu xe mới này có thể sử dụng mọi loại hỗn hợp xăng - ethanol từ E20 đến E85.Theo Bộ trưởng, Ấn Độ hiện sở hữu hơn 300 triệu xe hai bánh đang lưu hành, một trong những hệ sinh thái xe máy lớn nhất thế giới. Điều này tạo điều kiện để công nghệ nhiên liệu linh hoạt được triển khai trên quy mô lớn.“Bây giờ, tôi xin đưa ra một vài con số tính toán cơ bản. Về chiếc xe chạy bằng nhiên liệu E85 vừa ra mắt hôm nay và nếu xăng E85 được đưa vào sử dụng và được cung cấp tại các trạm bơm xăng được chỉ định, tôi có thể chia sẻ với qu vị xăng E85 sẽ rẻ hơn đáng kể so với nhiên liệu thông thường. Và nếu 1% doanh số bán xe xăng hàng năm ở Ấn Độ được thay thế bằng E85, thì điều này tạo ra nhu cầu hơn 40 triệu lít ethanol. Ước tính sẽ có gần 2,6 tỷ Rupee – khoảng 30 triệu USD, được thanh toán cho các nhà máy chưng cất ethanol. Chúng ta sẽ tiết kiệm được khoảng 1,95 tỷ Rupee tiền ngoại tệ; giảm được khoảng 28.000 tấn dầu thô nhập khẩu. Lượng giảm phát thải CO2 ròng lên tới gần 86.000 tấn và gần 1,6 tỷ Rupee sẽ chảy trực tiếp vào túi người nông dân.”Ông Puri cho rằng nhiên liệu E85 có nhiều lợi thế so với các giải pháp thay thế khác, bao gồm chi phí sản xuất phương tiện thấp hơn, yêu cầu đầu tư hạ tầng thấp và tốc độ triển khai nhanh hơn đáng kể so với mạng lưới xe điện. Trong khi đó, xe điện vẫn phụ thuộc đáng kể vào chuỗi cung ứng pin và linh kiện nhập khẩu.Theo Bộ trưởng Dầu khí Ấn Độ, phương tiện sử dụng nhiên liệu sinh học linh hoạt sản xuất trong nước giúp giảm phụ thuộc vào năng lượng nhập khẩu và tạo đầu ra ổn định cho nông sản dùng làm nguyên liệu sản xuất ethanol. Ông cũng cho biết Chính phủ đang xem xét các chính sách hỗ trợ, bao gồm trợ giá nhiên liệu E85 và các ưu đãi có mục tiêu nhằm đẩy nhanh việc phổ cập công nghệ này. E85 dự kiến sẽ có giá thấp hơn đáng kể so với xăng thông thường để tạo động lực cho người tiêu dùng chuyển đổi sang phương tiện nhiên liệu linh hoạt.Cùng tham dự sự kiện, Bộ trưởng Giao thông Đường bộ và Cao tốc Nitin Gadkari nhận định Ấn Độ, với vị thế là thị trường xe hai bánh lớn nhất thế giới, có nhiều điều kiện để trở thành quốc gia đi đầu trong lĩnh vực giao thông sử dụng nhiên liệu linh hoạt. Theo ông, công nghệ này có thể giúp giảm tới 77% lượng phát thải so với nhiên liệu hóa thạch truyền thống./.Đình Nam/VOV Ấn ĐộBộ trưởng Dầu khí Ấn Độ Hardeep Singh Puri (trái) và Bộ trưởng Giao thông Đường bộ và Cao tốc Nitin Gadkari (phải) tại lễ ra mắt.

Week 21 marks a major turning point in the global ship recycling market as the strongest reopening signal yet emerges from the Strait of Hormuz. Three supertankers transited the Strait for the first time since March, while President Trump said the United States is in the “final stages” of talks with Iran. Brent crude eased more than 5% to around USD 105 per barrel, and WTI moved below USD 100. However, for ship recycling, the timing remains critical. With only around one week left before the practical monsoon slowdown across the sub-continent, the improved passage signal may have arrived too late to release meaningful recycling tonnage into the market. Freight markets remain supportive for owners to keep older vessels trading. The Baltic Dry Index closed around 3,005 after peaking above 3,092, while Capesize earnings remained above USD 40,000 per day. Panamax earnings strengthened further, keeping the trading premium intact for older dry bulk vessels. Bangladesh continues to show strong operational stability, with the Taka holding around 122.87 against the U.S. Dollar and the Letter of Credit pipeline functioning for a sixth consecutive week. Bangladesh's April CPI rose to 9.04%, showing that inflationary pressure has reached Chattogram, but the impact remains contained compared with Pakistan and Turkey. India faces renewed currency pressure as the Rupee decisively broke above 96, touching a fresh all-time low near 96.97 against the U.S. Dollar. Despite this, India's April CPI remained calm at 3.48%, comfortably within the RBI's tolerance band. Alang remains the lowest-priced sub-continent destination, while retaining its strong HKC compliance advantage. Pakistan continues to consolidate its position, with the Pakistani Rupee holding firm around 278.63 against the U.S. Dollar. Local steel prices remain strong, keeping Gadani in one of the firmest pricing positions globally, supported by currency stability and the State Bank's earlier rate hike. Turkey remains structurally uncompetitive for mainstream tonnage despite another record low in the Turkish Lira. Aliaga continues to focus mainly on EU-regulated recycling candidates, where compliance requirements outweigh price differentials. This week's central market message is clear: Hormuz passage may be opening, Brent has eased, and diplomacy has reaccelerate, but the recycling window is closing. With freight earnings still elevated and monsoon approaching, recycling supply remains limited across all major destinations.

In this episode of The Core Report Special Edition, Financial Journalist Govindraj Ethiraj speaks with Rishi Agrawal of TeamLease Regtech and Dr Rajeswari Sengupta on why the Indian rupee is under pressure, why foreign investors are pulling money out, and why India's business rules still make growth harder than it should be.Dr. Rajeswari Sengupta, Associate Professor of Economics, Indira Gandhi Institute of Development Research, explains the macroeconomic stress behind the rupee fall, energy shock, oil price pressure, current account deficit, foreign capital outflows, AI shock and India's weakening appeal for global investors.

India's corporate sector is preparing for a more challenging financial environment as rising debt costs, a weakening rupee and global uncertainty begin affecting businesses across industries. The Adani Group and SP Group are refinancing massive debt obligations, while companies like Apple and Oppo are facing hurdles in expanding operations in India. Employees at major IT firms such as TCS are also feeling the pressure through lower variable pay and modest salary hikes. Meanwhile, the falling rupee and rising fuel prices continue to strain oil companies and inflation outlooks. The story also highlights India's renewed focus on coal gasification and long-term energy security. Find all this and more in the latest edition of Moneycontrol Editor's Picks.
Week 20 marks a decisive shift in the global ship recycling market as diplomatic momentum around Hormuz stalls, Brent crude rebounds above USD 107, and freight markets continue strengthening across the dry bulk sector. Despite last week's temporary optimism surrounding a possible ceasefire framework, owners are still holding onto older vessels as trading earnings remain exceptionally firm. The Baltic Dry Index breaking above 3,000 and Capesize earnings surpassing USD 43,000 per day continue reinforcing the economics of keeping aging tonnage active rather than recycling. As a result, the expected release of recycling candidates into the sub-continent has once again failed to materialize. Bangladesh remains the leading recycling destination on pricing and operational readiness, with stable currency conditions, active LC flows, and competitive steel plate pricing supporting Chattogram buyers. However, supply shortages persist as owners continue delaying recycling decisions ahead of monsoon closure. India faces renewed pressure as the Rupee weakens to another all-time low near 95.71 against the U.S. Dollar. Alang remains the lowest-priced destination while maintaining its strong HKC compliance advantage with more than 110 compliant yards operational. Pakistan's market position stabilizes after the State Bank's recent rate hike helped support the Pakistani Rupee, even as inflation pressures remain elevated. Gadani continues offering some of the firmest pricing in the market, supported by proximity advantages linked to ongoing Hormuz uncertainty. Turkey remains structurally uncompetitive for mainstream tonnage despite continued weakness in the Turkish Lira and rising inflation, leaving Aliaga focused primarily on EU-regulated recycling candidates. With only around two weeks remaining before the practical monsoon closure window, the central market question is no longer whether demand exists. It clearly does. The question is whether owners will release tonnage before the window closes. So far, strong freight markets, elevated oil prices, and unresolved geopolitical risk continue preventing meaningful supply flow into recycling yards. This episode covers: Global ship recycling market trends Brent crude oil rebound and Hormuz developments Baltic Dry Index and freight market strength Vessel recycling supply shortages Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Turkey market updates Steel plate pricing trends Currency movements and inflation pressures HKC-compliant recycling yards Monsoon impact on ship recycling activity Cash buyer sentiment and recycling pricing outlook Key Market Developments This Week • Brent rebounds from USD 96 back above USD 107 • Diplomatic momentum around Hormuz stalls • Baltic Dry Index breaks above 3,000 • Capesize earnings surge above USD 43,000/day • Freight strength continues delaying recycling decisions • Q2 recycling backlog hardens further • Bangladesh remains strongest pricing destination • Chattogram LC pipeline stays fully operational • India Rupee falls to fresh record lows near 95.71 • Alang maintains strong HKC compliance positioning • Pakistan Rupee firms despite inflation pressures • Gadani pricing remains among the strongest globally • Turkey inflation rises while Aliaga remains niche • Limited vessel supply continues across all destinations • Monsoon closure window narrows to approximately 2 weeks • Owners continue prioritizing trading over recycling For full details, vessel rankings, and port positions, download the GMS Weekly on our website or mobile app. Follow GMS on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and X for daily updates.

Week 19 marks a major shift in the global ship recycling market as Brent crude falls sharply, diplomacy re-enters the Hormuz conversation, and freight markets move strongly in the opposite direction. Despite Brent correcting from USD 126.41 per barrel to near USD 100, the expected release of recycling tonnage has not materialized. The Baltic Dry Index climbed to 2,991, up 12% from the previous week, with Capesize earnings surging and daily returns moving above USD 42,000. Strong freight earnings continue to encourage owners to keep older vessels trading rather than sending them for recycling, keeping supply tight across the Indian sub-continent. Bangladesh remains the leading recycling destination, supported by firm demand, a stable Taka, sustained Letter of Credit flow, and competitive steel plate pricing. However, Chattogram continues to face the same core issue: buyers are ready, but vessels are not arriving. India saw sharp currency volatility, with the Rupee touching a fresh low around 95.27 before recovering near 94.18 on diplomatic headlines. Alang remains the lowest-priced sub-continent destination, but its HKC-compliant yard base continues to support regulated tonnage demand. Pakistan's position has become more complicated. Gadani pricing remains firm, with steel plate levels around USD 679 per ton, but April inflation surged to 10.9%, prompting a 100-basis-point rate hike to 11.5%. Pakistan's Gulf proximity premium still holds, but its earlier stability advantage has narrowed. Turkey remains structurally uncompetitive for mainstream tonnage, with the Lira weakening to a fresh record low and April inflation rising to 32.37%. Aliaga continues to rely mainly on EU-regulated tonnage, where compliance can outweigh the price gap. With only around 3 weeks left before the monsoon window closes, the central question is no longer whether demand exists. It does. The question is whether diplomacy can release vessel supply in time. For now, strong freight, unresolved Hormuz risks, inflation pressure, and limited candidate flow mean the backlog holds. This episode covers ship recycling prices, vessel supply, freight markets, oil prices, currencies, inflation, HKC compliance, and the latest developments across Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Turkey. Key Market Developments This Week • Brent crude falls from USD 126.41 to near USD 100 • Diplomacy re-enters the Hormuz discussion, but safe passage remains unresolved • Baltic Dry Index rises to 2,991, up 12% week-on-week • Capesize earnings strengthen, with daily returns above USD 42,000 • Strong freight continues to delay ship recycling decisions • Bangladesh remains the leading destination on demand and pricing • Chattogram LC pipeline remains stable and functional • India's Rupee touches 95.27 before recovering near 94.18 • Alang remains lowest-priced but retains strong HKC compliance advantage • Pakistan CPI jumps to 10.9%, triggering a 100-basis-point rate hike • Gadani pricing remains firm, but Pakistan's advantage narrows • Turkish Lira weakens to a fresh record low near 45.24 • Turkey inflation rises to 32.37%, keeping Aliaga niche and outpriced • No meaningful supply release despite Brent correction • Monsoon window narrows to approximately 3 weeks • Q1 overhang remains locked into a Q2 backlog

Week 18 marks a structural turning point in global ship recycling markets as the situation in the Strait of Hormuz shifts from disruption to sustained blockade. What was previously seen as a temporary constraint has now evolved into a large scale supply shock, with oil markets reacting sharply and reshaping the economics of vessel trading and recycling. Brent crude surged to multi year highs, briefly reaching USD 126 per barrel before stabilizing above the USD 110 range. This sharp increase reflects a significant tightening in global energy supply, with Hormuz transit flows dropping to nearly four percent of normal levels. The scale of disruption is now being described as one of the largest in history, with no immediate resolution in sight. Despite this volatility in energy markets, freight rates remain firm. The Baltic Dry Index continues to hold near recent highs, supported by strong Capesize and Supramax earnings. Elevated freight returns are reinforcing vessel trading economics, keeping older tonnage active in the market and delaying recycling decisions. Currency movements across the sub continent reflect varying exposure to the energy shock. The Indian Rupee has weakened to record lows due to heavy reliance on Hormuz linked imports, while Pakistan's Rupee has remained stable, providing a relative advantage. Bangladesh continues to operate within a stable range, and the Turkish Lira has shown modest recovery. Bangladesh remains the leading destination with strong pricing, improved financing conditions, and a cleared Letter of Credit pipeline. However, the market continues to face a lack of available vessels. India maintains its structural advantage through a large base of compliant yards, though currency pressure and energy exposure continue to weigh on competitiveness. Pakistan is emerging as the strongest structural player this quarter, supported by stable currency, firm steel pricing, and proximity to Gulf trade routes. Turkey remains limited to niche activity due to its pricing gap with the sub continent. No recycling transactions were reported this week, reinforcing the ongoing supply shortage. As the monsoon window narrows to approximately four weeks, the expected release of vessels is increasingly being deferred. The Q1 overhang is now transitioning into a confirmed Q2 backlog. This episode provides a detailed analysis of ship recycling trends, recycling pricing, freight dynamics, and the broader geopolitical factors shaping supply across global markets. Key Market Developments this Week • Hormuz disruption shifts into a structural blockade • Brent crude spikes to USD 126 before stabilizing above USD 110 • Global oil supply shock intensifies with flows near four percent of normal • Baltic Dry Index holds steady with firm vessel earnings • Strong freight rates continue to discourage recycling activity • Indian Rupee weakens to record lows on energy exposure • Pakistan Rupee stabilizes, strengthening relative positioning • Bangladesh maintains top pricing with improved LC processing • India retains compliance strength despite currency pressure • Pakistan benefits from Gulf proximity and structural alignment • Turkey remains limited to EU regulated recycling segment • No recycling transactions reported across all destinations • Q1 tonnage overhang transitions into a growing Q2 backlog Links & Resources Subscribe to GMS Weekly: https://www.gmsinc.net/get-in-touch/#SubscribeToGMS GMS Mobile App: https://onelink.to/gms-app LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/gms-leadership X (Twitter): https://x.com/GMS_Leadership Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gms_leadership

In this episode, Monika Halan addresses growing concerns about whether current global tensions could push us back into Covid-like conditions. While she reassures listeners that a repeat of such extreme disruption is unlikely, she emphasizes that the economic impact of global conflict is already being felt. Using simple explanations, she breaks down how rising oil prices, a weakening rupee, and shifting global capital flows are putting pressure on economies like India. What recently seemed like a stable, “just right” economic phase is now entering a period of uncertainty and stress.She explains how these macro changes affect everyday finances—why inflation rises, how bond yields reflect expectations of higher interest rates and government borrowing, and why stock markets react even before the real economic slowdown becomes visible. She also highlights emerging risks around fertilisers and food security, while noting that India's relatively strong starting position offers some resilience. The core message remains steady: avoid panic, don't try to time the market, and stick to disciplined asset allocation. In volatile times, patience and consistency act as the strongest financial safeguards.In listener queries, Ambika Poddar seeks guidance on becoming financially independent later in life despite being excluded from household financial decisions, where the advice focuses on starting conversations, building personal income streams, and learning to invest gradually. V. R. Srinivas discusses the Arogya Sanjeevani health policy as a low-cost insurance option, highlighting its role as a basic safety net despite limitations. An anonymous listener from Bangalore asks about achieving financial independence within 5–10 years, where the recommendation is to increase equity exposure, secure independent life insurance, and recalibrate expectations around early retirement while continuing disciplined investing.Chapters:(00:00 – 00:00) Will India Be Back to Covid Times?
