DHT Holdings stock faces Monday test as oil rally and VLCC rates collide
New York, January 11, 2026, 20:46 (EST) — Market closed DHT Holdings Inc shares dipped a bit on Friday, but as the U.S. session opens Monday, it’s broader macro news that’s driving the action for the crude tanker owner. For DHT, freight rates are the immediate indicator. The company operates a fleet of VLCCs, and its earnings fluctuate with spot tanker rates — the daily cost to haul crude — which can spike when trade routes change or vessels become congested. Oil markets have grown restless again. Shifts in crude prices and export paths can swiftly ripple into tanker demand.
