Dry Bulk Weekly – 25 April, 2010
Baltic dry index rose 0.1% last week. Capesize Index gains were offset by Panamax Index losses. Supramax and Handysize Index almost unchanged.
Not much happening here also…Chinese buyers cutting back on iron ore import volumes thereby hurting capesize rates; Iron ore producers holding prices high.
