The dry bulk market is expected to firm into a period of \u201ccautious stability\u201d by the time industry players gather in Geneva next month, according to Amrit Singh, senior manager of shipping research at LSEG.<\/p>\n
Speaking ahead of Geneva Dry, Singh says the market would likely find a balance between steady demand and a growing supply of new vessels.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy late April, expect the dry bulk market to be in a state of \u2018cautious stability\u2019 characterised by a balance between moderate demand growth and an accelerating new vessel supply,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
The seasonal slowdown linked to the Lunar New Year will have passed by then, with activity picking up as South American grain exports hit their stride and construction demand strengthens in the Northern Hemisphere.<\/p>\n
\u201cExpect capesize bulkers to be supported by bauxite shipments from Guinea and high-grade iron ore exports from Simandou, which recently began operating,\u201d Singh says, adding that soybean exports from South America would underpin tonne-mile demand for panamax and supramax vessels.<\/p>\n
Coal remains less predictable. \u201cCoal is a bit of \u2018wildcard\u2019 with China leaning to more renewables. However, India could pick up this slack by importing coal,\u201d he notes.<\/p>\n
Beyond commodity flows, Singh points to geopolitics and decarbonisation as key variables shaping the market.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe other disrupting factors would be geopolitics and decarbonisation,\u201d he says, warning that shifting US policies and evolving international frameworks could add friction to global trade and force operators to adapt quickly to tariffs and regional carbon rules.<\/p>\n
These themes are expected to feature heavily in discussions at Geneva Dry, alongside the growing role of artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n
\u201cMajor talking points at the event are expected to be changing geopolitics landscape, path of maritime decarbonisation and the how shipping is adopting AI,\u201d Singh says.<\/p>\n
On the technology side, LSEG is positioning itself around trusted data and AI integration. Singh says the company\u2019s approach is focused on delivering structured, licensed datasets that clients can use with confidence.<\/p>\n
\u201cLSEG\u2019s AI strategy, LSEG Everywhere, is built on delivering trusted, licensed data at scale to power AI across financial services,\u201d he says, stressing that its datasets are \u201cpermissioned, governed and contractually licensed for client use.\u201d<\/p>\n
Through partnerships with major tech firms, LSEG is embedding its data into platforms widely used by clients. \u201cThis ensures AI models operate on authoritative content with clear usage rights, preserving both data integrity and commercial value,\u201d Singh adds.<\/p>\n
The group is also rolling out new tools for the maritime sector, including a vessel tracking API designed to provide real-time insights and analytics.<\/p>\n
Looking ahead to Geneva, Singh expects the focus will be on engaging with the market and showcasing new capabilities.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are looking forward to connecting with professionals who visit from across the world and displaying how we are \u2018Simplifying Shipping\u2019 in our platform LSEG Workspace,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n
LSEG will return to the event with a booth, where it plans to highlight its transition to cloud-based systems and demonstrate new data-driven products for shipping.<\/p>\n
Geneva Dry comes at a time when markets are navigating both cyclical and structural shifts, with participants expected to weigh near-term trade drivers against longer-term changes in regulation, technology and fleet supply.<\/p>\n
