The Baltic Dry Index advanced 49 points, or 1.8%, to 2,854, its highest level since October 9, as Capesize and Panamax rates increased. Capesize rates rose 2.7% to 4,459, Panamax rates gained 1.7% to 2,037, while Supramax fell 0.3% to 1,810.
Higher Panamax freight rates can increase shipping costs for grain cargoes and raise delivered costs for buyers; the overall freight move was modest, with Supramax rates lower.
