By 2025, shares in Maersk, one of the biggest players in the container shipping industry, have fallen almost daily, mainly due to the continuous decline in container prices. At the end of 2024, a container shipment from China to Rotterdam cost $1641, but the price has since fallen to $1252. This sharp drop in prices is partly caused by geopolitical developments, such as the recent prisoner swap between Hamas and Israel. This reports Beleggers Belang.
In addition, the Houthi rebels in Yemen announced they would limit their attacks in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden to Israeli vessels only, following the entry into force of the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. This decision affected Maersk's share price.
