Alphaliner publishes a list of the largest container fleets. The top 10 fleets are are follows. The three largest fleets are from Denmark, Switzerland and France respectively. 5 of the top 10 are Asian operators, 4 European and 1 US. CSAV from Chile used to be in the top 10, but has over the years dropped to the 20th position and has just agreed to merge with Hapag-Lloyd.
Copper prices are believed to be a leading indicator of economic health. We endeavour to verify this hypothesis through quantitative analysis thereby also focussing on the economies of Chile (principal producer) and China (principal consumer). We do believe in mean reversion although we acknowledge that imbalances can persist for very long times and that market structures can change permanently.
