John Faraclas

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:
