Market hiccups whilst the Ukrainian inferno continues and Covid makes waves

John Faraclas

Post Easter Market losses whilst the Ukrainian inferno will last and spill over like Covid… A crucial second Easter Week given the Orthodox Easter but with unorthodox combat. Shame! John Faraclas’ brief Market and geopolitics recap:

The BDI (Baltic Dry Index) lost 22 points since last week (14/04) and now reads 2,115…

The Capes’ BCI was down 139 points losing the 1,400 points threshold and now stands at 1,342…

Mini gains for the Panamaxes’ BPI now at 3,079 – up 37 points.

Gains for...

What a Week that was…

John Faraclas

Markets “hit” back- the BDI@2,137; the Ukrainian mess will continue and, possibly, might spill over… whilst COVID expands uncontrollably. Wonder what contingency plans are in place to confront the coming Armageddon. Thank the Olympian Gods we had a unique Marine Money Conference, a very special Indian National Maritime Day and a few more events… John Faraclas’ daily and weekly recap:

The BDI (Baltic Dry Index) was up 69 points since yesterday at 2,137 and 82 since last week’s...

Falling Dry Markets; Wets …buoyant. Messy Geopolitics with Ukraine at the brink of a total catastrophe unless… Covid’s uncontrollable spread…

John Faraclas

The BDI (Baltic Dry Index) approached the danger zone, that of 2,000 points as the fall continued all through the week. Wets as always volatile and peculiar. The Ukrainian mess and damage for humanity will need, at least a generation to “heal” to all intents and purposes; and there is more to come from the spill over. SHAME! Covid spreads again as politicians’ hallucinations “made” them medical scientists… John Faraclas’ daily and weekly recap:

The BDI lost six points since...

Market losses: BDI@2,484; more mess in Ukraine whilst Covid spreads…

John Faraclas

The BDI (Baltic Dry Index) lost 60 points since last Friday the 25h of March as well as the 2,500 points threshold. Brace for Ukraine as the despicable mess continues. Covid’s spreading will cause more mess… John Faraclas brief daily recap:

The Capes’ BCI lost 153 and now stands at 1,734 losing also the 1,800 points threshold…

Minimal “gains” for the Panamaxes’ BPI now at 3,146 – up three points…

Supras’ BSI lost the 3,000 points threshold; down 29 at 2,991…

Falling Dry and Wet Markets; Collective Guilt for Ukraine and Covid

John Faraclas

The BDI (Baltic Dry Index) lost 23 points since yesterday and now stands at 2,522; on a weekly basis same was down 61 since last week’ 2,605 losing the 2,600 points threshold. In search for Peace in Ukraine to avoid spill over and World War III, but this requires leaders and not morons to change the mindset. Same applies for Covid’s anathema, now entering its third year. John Faraclas’ daily and weekly recap:

The Capes BCI was down 82 points to 1,887 and on a weekly basis minus 718...

Dry and Wet Markets “calibrate” in a mysterious way alike Geopolitics and Covid

John Faraclas

The BDI (Baltic Dry Index) was down three points since yesterday and now stands at 2,588… Ukraine: calling everybody’s bluff… Covid spreads; the fourth doze please… John Faraclas brief daily recap:

The Capes’ BCI was down 28 points and now stands at 2,604…

The Panamaxes’ BPI was up three points at 2,850…

Supras’ BSI  doing well as well as Handies’ BHSI at 2,892 – plus 16 and 1,620 – plus 19 points respectively…

This is what I call a Dry Market calibration… watch this space!

Dry and Wet Markets lose steam; the despicable developments in Ukraine are far from over and a permanent Peace, a midsummer’s night dream. Covid strikes back…

John Faraclas

Midweek Market blues as BDI fells under 2,600 points threshold and Wets follow suit. Ukraine is the biggest set up and actors involved do not know their role as the script was too complicated… Shame, shame, Shame… Covid’s resurge will cause more mess. John Faraclas’ brief midweek recap:

The BDI (Baltic Dry Index) was down 98 points and now reads 2,591…

The Capes’ BCI was down 191 losing both the 2,700 and 2,800 points threshold and now stands at 2,632…

Dry and Wet hiccups. Peace by all means for Ukraine; there is no “or else”. Mind Covid’s surge…

John Faraclas – picture by ecopack77

The BDI (Baltic Dry Index) lost its 2,700 points threshold, as Panamaxes fall was proportionally …substantial. Wets’ “strange” fall continues. Peace in Ukraine MUST be restored here and now, otherwise all this set up is the biggest crime against humanity. There is no “or else”; I mean counter and punishment against all aggressors. Wonder under which proviso protocols and measures are lifted and simultaneously Covid re-surges. John Faraclas’ brief daily recap:
