A U.S. Grains Council market perspectives update says dry-bulk markets are trading in a narrow range with rates mostly unchanged. U.S. Gulf and PNW grain vessel lineups are diminishing and South American east-coast demand is not robust, while Black Sea small-coaster rates have spiked to over $40 per MT due to a shortage of small vessels.
Stable Gulf and PNW freight with thin South American demand points to little freight-driven pressure on US grain export basis, while the Black Sea coaster squeeze raises costs for regional grain movements.
