Contained rise for the BDI@1,450…

John Faraclas

The BDI’s rise earlier on today was more or less …trimmed with a 16 points plus whilst at the UN things were heating up… John Faraclas’ brief report:

All indices were on the plus but with minimal or no change…

The Capes’ BCI  rose just four points to 1,868…

The Panamaxes BPI gained 30 good points and now reads 1,639!

Five points were enough for the Supras’ BSI now at 1,190 points, a very enviable level compared with all other sizes fluctuations…

No change for the Handies’ BHSI;...

Despite the global financial turmoil the BDI’s renowned volatility is here to stay…

John Faraclas

The BDI was up 53 points earlier on today and now stands at 1,503 points surpassing the crucial but also psychological threshold of 1,500. The Geopolitical turmoil coupled with the Trade War, Sanctions, Tariffs will soon become a catalyst and the shit will hit the fan… John Faraclas’ brief recap:

The Capes’ BCI with 42 points plus are recapitulating and hopefully the 2,000 point mark will be conquered subject the trade war easy’s down… Let the 1,910 points be the base…

The Panamaxes’...

The BDI@1,434 …do you have a moonraker…

John Faraclas

The BDI (Baltic Dry Index) gained 21 points earlier on today and at 1,434 we must admit this is a good restart and hope same lasts for the benefit of all as otherwise with the messy Geopolitics things will continue to be uncertain and sour. John Faraclas’ daily market and Geopolitics briefing:

The Capes’ BCI was up 24 points and now reads 1,864… Still a long way to go up to the 3,000 threshold that all wish to see again…

Similar gains for the Panamaxes’ BPI  now at 1,609 points; up...

Dry and Wet Markets “swing” back to black, but…

John Faraclas

The BDI gained 17 points earlier on today and now reads 1,413; on a weekly basis same was up 47 points (from 1,366) thanks mainly  to the Supras and Handies which “kept” the pace up… Geopolitics are marred with all the issues we have extensively covered all these last six  years. John Faraclas’ daily and weekly recap:

The Capes’ BCI was up just two points  at 1,840 and on a weekly basis same was down 60 points (from 1,900)… A bit of an odd size, and thanks to Posidon as there aren’t...

Capes fall further with …“rich” pickings for BDI; CAUTION!

John Faraclas

The BDI gained 23 points and now stands at 1,396 trying to go over and above the 1,400 point threshold. Geopolitics full of sins govern the day yet again. John Faraclas’ daily recap:

The Capes lost another 27 points and the BCI now stands 1,838 points; ultra-caution should be observed as volatility is here to stay…

“Recuperating” Panamaxes show its BPI clinching 27 points – now at 1,527… Take a deep breath!

Gains for both the Supras and Handies; the BSI with 1,169 – up ten and the...
