The BDI@1,082; Supras “spoil” the broth…

John Faraclas

The BDI (Baltic Dry Index) ended up 16 points earlier on today following the long weekend due to the spring Holiday as well as due to end of the European Union’s election process.

And remember: news is what they DON’T tell us. John Faraclas’ brief daily recap:

The Capes’ BCI was up 40...

Market hiccups with the BDI down to 1,032…

The BDI (Baltic Dry Index) lost 11 points thanks – obviously, to the Capes’ ups and downs. Geopolitics still in a mess and the Hellenic Platform of women Scientists make their presence felt! John Faraclas’ daily recap:

The Capes lost 45 points with the BCI down to 1,417; was it an expected fall? Is there steam for the Capes; wonder!

The Panamaxes rise continued with the BPI at 1,243 – 14 points plus!
