Long $ECHO / Short $SPCX looks interesting here…
@GardinerIsland also worth noting that $BWET is 90% one tanker route. It is not a clear reflection of global tanker margins.
Good news, however if you are following this please keep cash around as when it is ‘officially’ announced arbs exiting will likely sell it down a good chunk. $ZIM https://t.co/CeQ6985wr9

Given today’s $ZIM news that the improved offer has been submitted, likely delaying closing of the same $35 acquisition to 1H 2027 I think it is even more relevant to understand why this is a good thing, which I explain in the attached article as well as backing it up with some facts and figures

Here's what I don't understand about $BWET : - the fund supposedly invests in exchange-cleared freight futures, not swaps tied to a freight futures index. See below from the latest 10-Q for the commodity trust, available on the fund docs page. - when I look up the futures I see no volume at all on CME, and I can't find an actual derivatives (not just index) quote on Bloomberg that shows volume traded - if the freight futures barely trade on exchange, what happens when the ETF needs to buy futures to issue shares or sell futures to redeem? What % of the OI in the lead months does the ETF own? - Is the underlying Ras Tanura to Ningbo specification for the futures accounting for ~90% of holdings relevant right now with pipeline diversion and tankers going dark through the strait? Without this information it seems impossible to even guess at how crazy things could get should the ETF see a lot of buy or sell interest. cc: @DryBulkETF @TheShortBear @EricBalchunas
this is definitely about the war and the strait, but even more specifically the route to China from the gulf. Derivatives on that route account for about 90% of $BWET holdings. I'm not sure how frequently the underlying derivatives trade and cannot find a chart. Even on the terminal I can only chart the index not any derivatives that might show volume.
