China container futures and tanker stocks jump on Iran standoff as Frontline VLCC deal resets term-rate benchmark

  • Analysts said Frontline’s $76,900 per day one-year VLCC fixtures have reset term-rate benchmarks

Markets are betting that geopolitics — from the Red Sea to sanctions — will keep shipping tight, with Frontline’s blockbuster VLCC charter validating the bullish tanker case
