Dear Etorians, 01/12/24 Shipping companies surge after US-UK strikes in Yemen. European shipping companies are trading higher on Friday after US and British strikes on sites used by Yemen's Houthi rebels for the first time since the group began launching attacks on commercial shipping lanes in the Red Sea. The retaliation by the United States and Britain to attacks in the Red Sea carried out by the Houthis, in solidarity they say with the Palestinians of Gaza in the war with Israel, could trigger a lasting conflict for which a solution fast seems to be moving away. $ZIM
