> The Baltic Exchange's main dry bulk freight index ended a seven-session winning streak on Friday as capesize rates eased, though it still posted its fourth straight weekly gain. Capesize earnings fell to $39,295 a day while panamax rates held near their highest since October 22. Dalian iron ore futures fell as Chinese port stocks rose and steel demand stayed weak.
