Capes fell but all other Dries’ balancing act saved the day whilst Turkey might rock World Peace

The BDI clinched five points earlier on today and now stands at 1,506. Geopolitics’ twist and turns with Central and East Med in the brink of an all-out war will one day severely punish all those who humiliate the International Law, sovereignty and conversely Greece and Cyprus as in the current situation.
