Singapore port container volumes continue falling in February
By Lee Hong Liang from Singapore

The port of Singapore has handled lower container volumes in February, according to preliminary estimates from the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA).

Singapore, the world’s second busiest container port, moved 2.41m teu of containers last month, representing a 7.7% decrease from 2.61m teu registered in the same period of 2015, MPA data showed.

Last month’s throughput also declined by 3.2% month-on-month from 2.49m teu recorded in January this year.

In the first two months of 2016, Singapore port recorded a total throughput of 4.9m teu, down 9.1% from 5.39m teu seen in the previous corresponding period.

Can we even collapse with interest rates so low in US, Eurozone and China?? We have imbalances like 2007 after a long so called recovery but back then look where the yield curve was and where oil prices were. Dollar was weak then commodities across the board very strong but is all quite the opposite now.. So seems like a mixed muddle through bag to me for a few more years at least before the reaper comes calling. Like Jay says take care of health and family is most important.
