什么是 BDI 指数

BDI指数(Baltic Dry Index,英文简称BDI,波罗的海干散货运价指数)

什么是BDI指数

  'BDI指数代表国际干散货运输市场走势的晴雨表。 是目前世界上衡量国际海运情况的权威指数, 是反映国际间贸易情况的领先指数

  1999年的9月1日,波罗的海交易所将原来反映巴拿马型船和好望角型船的BFI指数分解成BCI指数BPI指数两个指数,同年11月1日,在BCI指数BPI指数BHI指数基础上产生的BDI取代BFI。

  BDI的指数计算方法是将BPI、BCI和BHI指数相加,取平均数,然后乘以一个固定的换算系数0.998007990得出的。


什 么是干散货运输

  远洋运输一般分为集装箱运输干散货运输Dry Bulk Shipping)、油轮运输三种形式。其中集装箱运输主要用于下游制成品运输, 如汽车、电子产品、纺织品等,单位是TEU标准箱);干散货运输主要适用于铁矿石、煤炭、粮食、水泥等上游初级产品的运输,单位为吨;油轮运输则主要适用于原油、液化天然气等。

  由于干散货航运主要体现的是全球初级产品的需求, 因此是经 济的领先指标,具有毛利高、价格波 动大的特点。而集装箱航运则主要和中下游产品相 关,并不能很好地反映宏观需求,更不是什么领先指标,其运价波动也要平缓的多。

BDI指数的历史

  由伦敦航运市场每天向世界公布。它是一个综合性指数,由全球传统的12条主要干散货船航线的运价按照各自在航运市场上的重要程度和所 占比重构成。它是随着波罗的海国际运价期货交易所的设立而出现的。波罗的海运价指数以1985年1月4日为1000。最初由13条航线的程租运价构成, 后来调整为12条航线。近几年来由于国际政治、经济形势的发展,使一些航线的重要程度发生了变化。为此,波罗的海交易所于1990年8月6日和1991年2月5日分 别就构成运价指数的航线进行了调整。在波罗的海交易所内,有一个由8家会员公司组成的小组,负责计算当天的波罗的海运价指数。每天早晨,8家公司即 将各自认为在当天可行的各条航线运价水平或日租金水平,单独提交给会员小组,相互严格保密,以确保公平和准确;小组计算时减去最高和最低值,分别计算出个 航线的平均运价和日租金水平,再分别乘以换算常数,即得出各航线的换算指数;再将各航线的换算指数相加,其结果即为当天公布的波罗的海运价指数。

  波罗的海航交所是世界第一个也是历史最悠久的航运市场。1744年诞生于美国佛吉尼亚波罗的海咖啡屋,目前是设在英国伦敦的世界著名的 航运交易所,全球46个国家的656家公司都是波罗的海航交所的会员。为了满足客户的需要,波罗地海航交所于1985年开始发布日运价指数──BFI,该 指数是由若干条传统的干散货船航线的运价,按照各自在航运市场上的重要程度和所占比重构成的综合性指数。1999年,国际波罗的海综合运费指数(BDI) 取代了BFI,成为代表国际干散货运输市场走势的晴雨表。

  由此可见,该指数是目前世界上衡量国际海运情况的权威指数,是反映国际间贸易情况的领先指数。如果该指数出现显著的上扬,说明各国经济 情况良好,国际间的贸易火热。前几年由于中国的经济快速发展也带动了全球经济的复苏,全球对于原材料的需求大大增加,导致了海运的快速繁荣。2003年,BDI指数还只有不到3000点,而到了2004年,该指数 就翻了一番,达到了6000点以上,在2007年甚至高达万点,因此,中国和其他国家的贸易以及对于全球初级原材料的需求是导致国际海运价格上涨的主要原 因。而该指数上涨的同时我们也确实可以看到海运价格的上涨和目前商品市场上几个大宗原料的价格上涨的曲线是一致的。

  所以,作为很多期货市场战略投资者来说,对于该指数的关注程度不言而喻。


BDI指数的组成

  1、BCI指数(Baltic Capesize Index),波罗 的海海岬型指数,吨位:8万吨以上,主要运输货物:焦煤、燃煤、铁矿砂、磷矿石、铝矾土等工业原料,占BDI权重:1/3;

  2、BPI指数(Baltic Panamax Index),波罗的海 巴拿马指数,吨位:5~8万吨,主要运输货物:民生物资及谷物等大宗物资,占BDI权重:1/3;

  3、BHMI指数(Baltic Handymax Index),波罗 的海轻便型指数,吨位:5万吨以下,主要运输货物:磷肥、碳酸钾、木屑、水泥,占BDI权重:1/3。


BDI 指数的影响因素

  1、全球GDP成长 率。

  2、全球铁矿及煤矿运输需求量。

  3、全球谷物运输需求量。

  4、全球船吨数供给量。

  5、国际船用燃油平均油价、战争及天然灾难。

全球GDP成长率影响全球对铁矿及谷物运输的需求量;天然灾难使物资缺 乏,货品运输需求提高,使散装航运景气走扬。


BDI指数的作用

  一般认为,波罗的海干散货指数(BDI)的参考价值主要体现在以下几个方面:

  1. BDI指数是全球经济的缩影。全球经济过热期间,初级商品市场的需求增加,BDI指数也相应上涨。

  2. BDI指数相对客观。BDI指数不存在短线资金炒作的问题,如果短线资金进入大宗商品市场炒作,但同期BDI指数不涨的话,则大宗商品市场高企的价格就值得警惕。

  3. BDI指数与初级商品市场的价格正相关。也就是说,如果煤炭、有色金属、铁矿石等价格上涨,BDI指数一般也是要涨的。

  4. BDI指数与美元指数正相关。美元走 强一般反映了美国经济向好,由于美国经济在全球经济总量中占比较大,BDI指数与其正相关。

  5. BDI指数与美国股市走 势正相关。理由与美元指数相同。

Maybulk-Court case clears up uncertainty on pink forms

Monday, December 6, 2010

The High Court has ruled that Malaysian Bulk Carriers was right to reject share application from three individuals although they had been alloted pink forms.


A LANDMARK court case between Malaysian Bulk Carriers Bhd (MBC) and three individuals that will define the importance of pink forms seems to have ended in favour of the shipping company.

The High Court yesterday ruled that MBC was right to reject share application from the three individuals although they had been alloted pink forms.

The court dismissed the application filed by the three months ago, claiming that MBC was wrong to go back on its offer to allot them collectively 1.6 million shares.

The plaintiffs were former and current employees of Global Maritime Ventures Bhd, a subsidiary of Bank Pembangunan Malaysia Bhd.


A pink form is an application form that is typically reserved for company employees.

In an oral judgment made in the Shah Alam High Court yesterday, the judge dismissed all three plaintiffs' claims with costs.

Written grounds were not delivered. The decision was made after written submissions were presented to the court last week.

The plaintiffs will decide on the next course of action, once written grounds are delivered.

The judgment, for now, has defined the importance of a pink form for an initial public offering (IPO) distribution of shares, long time seen as a guarantee of shares by the investing public.

"As far as we are concerned, it's a good decision.

"It puts into perspective the role of the pink form as an invitation to treat (an invitation to offer for the shares) and not as an offer of the shares, and that it also has to follow the normal application process - subject to the terms and conditions of the application form and prospectus," MBC solicitor Tay & Partners partner Leonard Yeoh said.

He said the judgment was a landmark decision because it clears up uncertainty on the matter of pink forms, practised in Malaysia and Singapore, especially for those companies going for IPOs.

The offer was made to the three in appreciation of their contribution to the success of MBC towards an IPO in 2003.

The court battle lasted for almost six months. The case was heard some seven years after MBC undertook IPO and listed its shares on December 2 2003.

Malaysian Bulk Carriers Q2 net more than halves

August 25, 2010




MALAYSIAN Bulk Carriers Bhd (MBC), a shipping group, said its second quarter net profit more than halved due to stock market and foreign exchange losses as well as lower earnings from its associate company.

But the group, controlled by tycoon Robert Kuok, is confident that business will remain good based on its existing contracts.

MBC posted a net profit of RM32.84 million in the second quarter ended June 30 2010, against RM72.45 million a year ago. For the six-month period, its net profit was marginally lower at RM85.84 million, against RM88.5 million in the same period last year.

Revenue jumped 36 per cent to RM96.07 million in the second quarter. It surged 71 per cent to RM123.07 million for the first half period.


The results were slightly below some analysts' expectations.

During the six-month period, it made foreign exchange losses of RM12.6 million, due mainly to the weaker US dollar and some RM13.3 million provisions for the fall in value of quoted investments.

Looking at the group's operations alone - without accounting for its associates, foreign exchange or stock market investments - MBC posted operational profit of RM66.7 million for the six-month period, more than 50 per cent higher than the RM40.9 million in the first half of last year.

The group's business is driven mainly by its dry bulk carriers and tankers. Dry bulk carriers are used mainly to carry unpackaged bulk cargo like grains, coal, ore, and cement. Tankers are used to carry liquid in bulk, like oil and chemicals.

MBC chief executive officer Kuok Khoon Kuan remains optimistic of its outlook for the rest of the year, based on the contracts and jobs for its dry bulk carriers.

"I'm optimistic in terms of the company's operational level. So far, 70-80 per cent of our fleet is already covered for the year," Kuok said at a media and analysts' briefing in Kuala Lumpur yesterday.

It expects the tanker business to remain challenging, due partly to slower oil and gas drilling activities in the US. So far, half of its tanker fleet has been filled up.

MBC's shares on Bursa Malaysia declined 0.34 per cent, or 1 sen, to close at RM2.87 yesterday.

Malaysian Bulk ties up with Commonwealth

http://www.btimes.com.my/Current_News/BTIMES/articles/20101012203316/Article/index_html

2010 Oct 12

Malaysian Bulk Carriers Berhad's (MBC) wholly-owned subsidiary, Lightwell Shipping Inc., has entered into a joint venture (JV) agreement with Commonwealth Shipping Company Inc.

The JV is to establish a company called Progress Shipping Pte Ltd.

The JV company, incorporated in Singapore, will own and operate vessels, MBC said in an announcement to Bursa Malaysia Securities.

The JV is on a 50:50 basis and Lightwell will fund its share through internally generated funds, it said.
MBC also said Commonwealth Shipping is a company managed by the Espinosa family of Mexico, who are established players in the dry bulk shipping trade in that country.



Their primary line of business is the shipping of bulk cargo in the Americas, it added.
Progress Shipping Pte Ltd intends to acquire bulkcarrier(s) for trade within the US Gulf/Mexico region.

MBC said that Commonwealth Shipping is extremely familiar with that area.

With its current expertise and established network, both Commonwealth Shipping and Lightwell are of the view, that the JV will open new relationships with opportunities beneficial to both parties. - Bernama

Maybulk 这次是来真的 ?

Maybulk daily chart
短期强势,但是没有大的量,之前多次尝试突破 3.10 都无功而返,
(3.10 是很强的 resistance,因为之前盘中突破 3.10后,都是被流星或熊 engulfing打下来)
只要有交易量,先站稳 3.10,再突破2009 年 6 月 3.25 的高点,
以现在的牛市行情,是有望突破历史新高的。(做梦先)


Maybulk weekly chart

只要有量,且站稳 3.10,嘿嘿嘿。。。
而且我猜测会有分红股。

现金 = 387 mil
total debt = 300mil
total liability = 504 mil

6 month revenue = 200 mil
6 month operating cash flow = 198mil

以上存属吹水,如有雷同恕不负责。
