Dry Bulk Weekly – May 9, 2010

May 9th, 2010 by Belisarius

Baltic dry index rose 7.6% last week, again on the back of 10.5% Capesize Index gain. Panamax, Supramax and Handysize Index also recorded gains, but underperformed the broader index.

Strong iron ore demand from China is fueling the gains. If financial turmoil continues, the gains will be hard to hold on.
