Dry bulk freight held relatively stable in late February, with Capesize Brazil to North China rates near the year's highs at just below $22 per tonne. Panamax Continent to Far East rates rose, while Supramax Indo rates stayed weak, and demand tonne-day growth continued to decline from late-2023 peaks.
Sustained strength on the Brazil-to-China capesize lane keeps ocean freight a cost component for Brazilian soy and feed exports to Asia, while slowing demand growth limits how much further rates can rise.
