Reports on 23 July 2018 state Maersk, the largest shipping company in the world, may be targeted by hedge funds betting against it amid growing fears of a global trade war. Maersk is speculated of being vulnerable to rising tensions in global trade, while at the same time it is suffering from rising fuel costs and lower income in 2018 from freight business when compared with figures from 2017.
