Its traders need to keep an eye on how these shifting circumstances will affect related businesses, how demand and supply will move, the impact on logistics, and which risk factors will not change \u2013 before responding swiftly. On the other hand, they must strive to catch new possibilities and seek opportunities stemming from market changes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fa025a8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"fa025a8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Economic dominoes<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-adc73bd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"adc73bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>World trade is expected to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wto.org\/english\/news_e\/pres22_e\/pr909_e.htm\">remain subdued<\/a> in 2023, according to the World Trade Organization (WTO), with global GDP set to struggle to advance much above 2% after being revised down from over 3%. To offer another example, Netherlands-based global bank ING expects that 2023 could be <a href=\"https:\/\/think.ing.com\/articles\/trade-outlook-slow-steaming-in-rough-waters-what-to-expect-in-2023\">even more challenging for global goods trade<\/a>.<\/p><p>Several factors have contributed to this pessimism. We have seen in the last year how inflationary pressures have forced up prices for basic necessities and energy, including due to the Russo-Ukrainian War. Financial policymakers have responded with monetary tightening policies, significantly increasing the cost of borrowing amid plummeting consumer demand.<\/p><p>And this situation is having profound knock-on effects. For instance, the Russo-Ukrainian War has led to sanctions and a subsequent energy supply crunch. As a result, there has been a sharp increase in natural gas prices, and this has caused <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.worldbank.org\/opendata\/fertilizer-prices-ease-affordability-and-availability-issues-linger\">widespread production cutbacks in ammonia<\/a>.<\/p><p>For Samsung C&amp;T traders working in areas like chemicals, steel, energy, and other materials, there are both challenges and opportunities in this situation. While it may be more difficult to secure liquified natural gas (LNG) and ammonia, for example, Samsung C&amp;T can harness the company&#8217;s widespread global networks to reorganize supply chains and find new opportunities in alternative commodities or markets.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ac2a27b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ac2a27b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">More affordable shipping<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-78d3583 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"78d3583\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Even as traders need to work harder to manage relationships with existing and potential customers amid dwindling overall demand and trade, it is becoming a lot cheaper to actually move commodities and materials around the world \u2013 at least when it comes to shipping. For instance, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketplace.org\/2022\/12\/06\/congested-supply-chains-may-finally-be-easing-as-inventories-fall\/\">cost of a 40-foot container traveling from east Asia to the west coast of the United States<\/a> has fallen from close to US$20,000 to just around $1,400 in the space of a year.<\/p><p>To get a further sense of how this would impact the work of a trader, consider how challenging it was for them in an opposite scenario \u2013 to <a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/en\/features\/trading-investment\/navigating-soaring-sea-freight-rates-trading-company\/\">navigate soaring sea freight rates<\/a>, as we considered back in 2021. Being able to lower shipping costs is a boost for Samsung C&amp;T traders who already place much focus on securing optimal marine freight rates along with the best overall logistics solutions for customers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-25aa269 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"25aa269\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/shipping-g95b5ea279_1920.jpg\" data-elementor-open-lightbox=\"yes\" data-elementor-lightbox-title=\"shipping-g95b5ea279_1920\" data-e-action-hash=\"#elementor-action%3Aaction%3Dlightbox%26settings%3DeyJpZCI6MzIwNTIsInVybCI6Imh0dHBzOlwvXC9uZXdzLnNhbXN1bmdjbnQuY29tXC91cGxvYWRcLzIuMFwvd3AtY29udGVudFwvdXBsb2Fkc1wvc2l0ZXNcLzNcLzIwMjNcLzAxXC9zaGlwcGluZy1nOTViNWVhMjc5XzE5MjAuanBnIn0%3D\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/shipping-g95b5ea279_1920.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-32052\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/shipping-g95b5ea279_1920.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/shipping-g95b5ea279_1920-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/shipping-g95b5ea279_1920-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/news.samsungcnt.com\/upload\/2.0\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/01\/shipping-g95b5ea279_1920-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-005bfeb elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"005bfeb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3248425 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3248425\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The climate change factor<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ea442f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ea442f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>With climate change still very much looming as a major international issue in 2023, traders are expected to be alert to regulations aimed at easing global warming.
