• People Bank of China announced cutting rates and multiple policies oriented on consumers and stock market, sending the world money managers signal, that China is determinate to achieve GDP growth and strengthen demand across the national economy. 

Also, announced aggressively monetary policy easing in US Federal Reserve and European Central Bank rate cuts improved sentiments around procyclical maritime operators stocks.

Shipping prices for standard 40 ft container dropped, however shipping sector didn't react to that, because lower rates were impact especially by lower oil prices and easing geopolitical tensions; this year WCI rally wasn't driven by strengthening demand; rather by solid conditions in developed economies and risk factors. Source: Drewry
