Resulting from Osama Bin Laden’s death – commodity prices have fallen. The Brent Crude price has declined by 5.45% for example and gold by 3.17.

What impact will his death have on the shipping industry (if any)?

With declining oil prices will petrol prices go down? Will shipping companies be able to charge customers less for delivery? Will there be higher security threats and tighter restrictions for air cargo?

What are your thoughts on the situation?

Only time will tell …
