A “sustained” fall with the BDI@1,577 …and WISTA 2018 event gets under way!

John Faraclas

The BDI (Baltic Dry Index) lost two points – an expected scenario so to speak – see our yesterday’s hint, and all things being equal expect the unexpected… Geopolitics with the fall of oil and other hiccups become interesting whilst the WISTA International AGM and Conference begins in Tromsø, Norway. John Faraclas and Anny Zade report:

The Capes’ BCI continued to rise and now stands at    2,363 points – up 67!

The Panamaxes fell 41 points with the BDI now reading 1,715… CAUTION!

The...

No sustainability for the BDI@1579…

John Faraclas

The BDI clinched just three points earlier on today and look vulnerable for an imminent fall; geopolitics continue to be messy. John Faraclas’ brief recap:

The Capes’ BCI gained 66 points keeping the BDI afloat and now stands at 2,296; CAUTION!

Losses for the Panamaxes’ BPI  now at 1,756 points – minus19…

Further losses for the Supras’ with the BSI now standing at 1,163 – minus seen…

One point plus for the Handies’ BHSI now reading 671 point; every single plus point counts!

Capes’ contained rise and perplexed figures rule the day… plus the 2020 saga

John Faraclas

The BDI (Baltic Dry Index) gained four points and now stands at 1,574; Geopolitics in total mess and the Environment another issue to be appropriately tackled… John Faaclas’ daily recap:

The Capes’ BCI was up 51 points and now stands at 2,199… Are the capes sustainable or just volatile, or another bubble? We shall see…

Just one point plus for the Panamaxes’ BPI now at 1,679 points; caution…

The Supras too on one point; the BSI managed to clinch  this one very special point and now...
