The UP World LNG Shipping Index, the world’s only stock index focused on LNG shipping companies, lost 1.23% last week. U.S. stocks represented by the S&P 500 index lost 1.55%.
UP Index continued to stay above the support line (green line on the chart) and is still in better condition than S&P 500 (SPX). The whole market is still vulnerable. We still expect the UP Index to move around the support if SPX continues to decline and move up faster if SPX rises.
This week there were again two constituents of the UP Index, which rose by a two-digit percentage. One of them, GasLog Partners (NYSE: GLOP), was in previous top gainers. This week it added 13.8%. The second constituent was Awilco LNG (OSE: ALNG), which increased by 12.7%.
Exmar NV (BSE: EXM) gained 7.6%, Capital Product Partners (NYSE: CPLP) price increased by 4.5%, and Norwegian Cool Company (OSE: COOL) rose by 3.2%.
Japanese trio continued rising as all companies gained around three percent, NYK Line (TSE: 9101) gained 3.4%, „K“ line (TSE: 9107) grew by 3.3%, and MOL (TSE: 9104) moved 2.4% up.
