The U.S. Grains Council weekly market perspectives report says dry-bulk freight markets slid for most of the week before bouncing at the end. Q3 Panamax daily hire rates were $22,250/day versus $22,575 the prior week.
Container rates from Asia to the US West Coast fell to $7,800 per TEU, and the ILWU West Coast labor contract was set to expire without a deal.
Softer dry-bulk freight lowers grain transport costs at the margin, while the unresolved ILWU contract adds a strike risk for West Coast export logistics. Net effect on feed ingredient prices is modest.
