The Baltic Dry Index was reported at 2,740 on November 5, up 46 points. The index tracks dry-bulk transport prices for cargoes including grain, coal and iron ore.
A rise in dry-bulk freight costs can increase the delivered cost of grain, though the report gives no grain-specific rate details. The daily increase suggests modest upward freight pressure.
