LNG shipping stocks: Support line resisted

The UP World LNG Shipping Index, the world’s only stock index focused on LNG shipping companies, gained 0.71% last week. U.S. stocks represented by the S&P 500 index gained 6.45%.

The UP index bounced off the support with luck. We are talking about luck because there was more falling than rising stocks.
Flex LNG (NYSE / OSE: FLNG), which showed double-digit growth and recorded 15.2%, has the most significant credit for maintaining the hope for growth. Golar LNG (NASDAQ: GLNG) added “only” 4.1%, but thanks to its weight of 20%, it also has a great deal of credit for maintaining the growth.

Additional support was provided by Shell (NYSE: Shel) and bp (NYSE: BP) with growth of 2% and 1.7%, respectively.
The Korean company SM Korea Line Corporation (KRX: 005880) showed the most significant decrease, which lost 11.7%. Second in order was the Japanese Kawasaki Kisen Kaisha (TSE: 9107), with a loss of 7.6%.

Dynagas LNG Partners (NYSE: DLNG) depreciated 7%, Malaysian company MISC Berhad (KLSE: 3816) fell 6.1%, and Norwegian Awilco LNG (OSE: ALNG) lost 5.1%. Qatari Nakilat (QSE: QGTS) fell 4.1%.

Thanks to the rebound from the support, there is still hope for the resumption of growth in the entire LNG maritime transport sector.
