The Baltic Exchange weekly roundup reports Capesize 5TC routes opening the week at $29,624 and closing at $30,437 after a mid-week dip, with Brazil iron ore routes rising over $2 per tonne to $24.055. Panamax rates ran from $16,000 to $19,000 per day, driven by South American grain cargoes fixed for September loading in Asia.
Higher Panamax rates on South American grain routes raise the delivered cost of soybeans and meal into Asia, supporting freight-inclusive feed prices.
