The Baltic Dry Index rose 2.37% on November 6 to 2,805 points, its highest level since October 12 and its third consecutive weekly gain. Capesize and Panamax rates increased on stronger iron ore and coal shipping demand, while the Supramax index slipped 0.49%, reflecting weakness in some regional short-haul trade.
The rise points to stronger bulk-shipping demand, but the drivers cited are iron ore and coal rather than agricultural cargoes, so any direct grain freight or feed-market price effect is limited.
