Signal Ocean's weekly dry bulk report says Capesize freight weakened in late October while smaller vessel segments were flat. Grain flows from Brazil to China on Panamax ships surged in October, supporting Panamax freight rates.
China's Q3 GDP growth of 4.9% beat forecasts but remained well below the prior quarter.
Stronger Brazil-to-China grain movements lift Panamax freight, which raises the cost of moving feed grains and meal on that route and can narrow Brazilian export margins.
