BW LPG Ltd

The International Criminal Court on Thursday issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former defense minister Yoav Gallant, "for crimes against humanity and war crimes" in the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/emerging-markets/24/11/41757546/israels-netanyahu-fires-defense-minister-gallant-over-lack-of-trust-in-war-management-oi">ongoing war in Gaza</a>.
Netanyahu and Gallant intentionally deprived civilians in Gaza of food, water and medicine and medical supplies, as well as fuel and electricity, and used starvation as a method of warfare, the International Criminal Court alleges. 
The arrest warrants also allege both men deprived civilians in Gaza of fundamental rights, including the rights to life and health, and intentionally directed attacks against the civilian population of Gaza. The ICC&#8217;s Pre-trial Chamber I also found Netanyahu and Gallant are responsible for other inhumane acts. 
Israeli President Isaac Herzog called the arrest warrants a &#8220;dark day for justice&#8221; in a post on X, adding that the warrants are a &#8220;mockery&#8221; of those who fight for justice and &#8220;ignore the plight of the 101 Israeli hostages held in brutal captivity by Hamas in Gaza.&#8221; 
Herzog concluded: &#8220;This cynical exploitation of the international legal institutions reminds us once again of the need for true moral clarity in the face of an Iranian empire of evil that seeks to destabilize our region and the world, and destroy the very institutions of the free world.&#8221;
The court&#8217;s 124 member states would be obligated to arrest Netanyahu and Gallant if they entered those states, the Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/0b62f17a-97db-4817-90f8-f98adead79f0">said</a> in a report, adding that the ICC has no means of enforcing this. 
The Details: The court also issued a warrant for Hamas military leader Mohammed Deif. Israeli officials say Deif was killed in an airstrike in Gaza in July. Prosecutors said they issued the warrant because they were not able to confirm whether he is dead or alive. 
The ICC rejected Israel's challenge to the court's jurisdiction over "the situation in the State of Palestine" and over Israeli nationals.

The ICC said in a press release that the arrest warrants are classified as secret, but the chamber decided to release the information since the conduct "appears to be ongoing." The chamber also said it considers it in the best interest of the victims to be aware of the issuance of the warrants. 
Other Developments:  U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein is in Israel for talks with Israeli officials over a cease-fire in Lebanon. Hochstein left Beirut on Wednesday after two days of meetings with Lebanese officials, <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/11/21/israel-war-news-hamas-gaza-palestine/">according</a> to The Washington Post. 
The United States vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution put forward Wednesday that called for a cease-fire in Gaza because it was not contingent on the release of hostages still held and it did not condemn Hamas.
At least 44,056 people have been killed in Gaza during the war and 104,268 injured, the Post reported, citing the Gaza Health Ministry. At least 3,558 people have been killed and 15,123 injured in Lebanon, the report said, citing Lebanon&#8217;s health ministry. The organizations do not distinguish between civilians and combatants. 
Israel estimates that approximately 1,200 people were killed in the Oct. 7, 2023 attack and says 377 soldiers have been killed in its military operation in Gaza.

Universal Technical Institute shares are trading higher after the company reported better-than-expected Q4 EPS and sales, and provided FY2024 revenue guidance above analyst estimates.

AppLovin shares are trading higher after the company priced a public offering of $3.55 billion in senior notes.

In Anaheim at the recent <a href="https://cannabismarketspotlight.com/california/anaheim-november-12/">Cannabis Market Spotlight: California </a>event, seasoned cannabis entrepreneur Seth Yakatan shared his perspective on the cannabis industry's current landscape and future potential. 
Despite recent shifts in cannabis stock prices, Yakatan believes the sector remains fundamentally stable. "The technical fundamentals of the sector pretty much remained the same," he noted, adding that he saw the price drop as an opportunity and "just bought more stocks cheaper."
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">Federal Policy and a Cautious Outlook</h4>
Looking ahead, Yakatan discussed the impact of upcoming federal decisions on the cannabis industry. He remains "cautiously optimistic" but believes it could be March before any clear direction emerges. 
Yakatan highlighted three key areas to watch: the selection of a new Attorney General, possibly reclassifying cannabis to Schedule III and ongoing legislative changes in states like Pennsylvania. "Anything other than that's probably just speculation," he remarked, stressing that the path forward depends on these developments.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">California's Market Leads the Way</h4>
Yakatan also expressed confidence in California's enduring position as a leader in the U.S. cannabis market, calling it "still the biggest cannabis market in the United States." 
Although he acknowledged challenges within California's market, he emphasized the dedication of long-standing businesses that continue to secure investment and make strides in the industry. "I don't see that dynamic changing," Yakatan stated, underscoring his confidence in California's cannabis market to continue thriving.
Yakatan's observations at the event reflected the optimism shared by many industry experts, signaling a resilient future for cannabis even as it faces a complex regulatory environment.

Danaos (DAC) performed well in the last reported quarter, beating analysts' expectations. Also, solid demand for its offerings, strategic initiatives, and continuous fleet expansion contribute to the company's growth and success. So, let's analyze whether DAC is a suitable investment prospect. Read more to find out... Danaos Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/DAC/">DAC</a>) is headquartered in Piraeus, Greece, and is a prominent container and dry bulk vessel service provider in Australia, Asia, and Europe. It provides seaborne transportation services by operating vessels in the shipping industry's containership and dry bulk sectors.
Danaos operates through its expanding fleet of 73 container vessels ranging from 2,200 TEU to 13,100 TEU. It has 14 container vessels under construction and 10 Capesize dry bulk vessels. Furthermore, during the second quarter, Danaos received delivery of the first three new building containerships and added six new building containerships to its order book.
For the second quarter of 2024, DAC paid a dividend of $0.80 per share on August 29, 2024, to stockholders of record at the end of August 20, 2024. DAC's annual dividend of $3.20 translates to a yield of 3.79% at the current share price level. The company's four-year average dividend yield is 3.04%. Further, its dividend payouts have increased at a CAGR of 47.4% over the past three years.
The company's strengthening container ship business, dominant market position, and current market dynamics poise it for continued growth in the forthcoming years. Amid the geopolitical disruptions, estimated <a href="https://www.bimco.org/news/market_analysis/2024/20240627-smoo-container">global volume growth</a> is expected between 5 and 6%, and head-haul and regional trade growth is expected to be 5.5-6.5%, resulting in fast growth in demand for ships in 2024.
Also, the container shipping market is expected to reach $134.03 billion by 2029, exhibiting growth at a <a href="https://www.mordorintelligence.com/industry-reports/global-container-shipping-market">CAGR of 3.11%</a>, propelled by technological investments and growing global economic activities.
Danaos' CEO, Dr. John Coustas, commented on the company's performance during the second quarter, "With respect to our activities in the dry bulk sector, we have recently taken delivery of all ten Capesize vessels. We have been gearing up our operations to ensure the integration within our fleet during this building phase before we continue to explore opportunities to further our reach in this sector."
Shares of DAC have surged 17.3% over the past six months and 27.8% over the past year to close its last trading session at $84.42.
