2025.08.2613:30:52UTC+00Baltic Dry Index Up to Over 1-Month High

The Baltic Exchange's dry bulk sea freight index, which monitors the shipping rates for vessels carrying dry commodities, continued to rise for the second consecutive session on Tuesday, climbing approximately 5% to reach 2,041 points—the highest level since August 15. This increase was observed across all types of vessels in the index. The capesize index, which is associated with 150,000-ton cargoes including iron ore and coal, jumped significantly by 8.5% to 3,031 points, driven by strong Chinese demand for iron ore from key exporters Australia and Brazil. Meanwhile, the panamax index, typically used for transporting 60,000-70,000 tons of coal or grain, increased by approximately 2-7% to 1,818 points, marking its peak since July 25. Additionally, the supramax index saw a modest increase of 0.9%, reaching 1,437 points.
