The Baltic Exchange's main dry bulk index rose 4.4% to 2,378 on August 30, its highest since November 2010, led by capesize demand. The panamax index reached 2,260, its highest in over 8.5 years, with panamax daily earnings near $18,098.
Strong panamax earnings signal tight dry bulk capacity for grain and oilseed cargoes, lifting ocean freight costs that feed into landed prices for imported feed ingredients.
