Baltic Index rise
The Baltic Exchange’s dry bulk sea freight index rose for a fourth straight session on Tuesday as higher capesize rates offset losses in the panamax and supramax segments.

Capesize Index
- The capesize index rose 89 points, or 7.4%, to 1,297, its highest level in two weeks.
- Average daily earnings for capesizes, which transport 150,000-tonne cargoes such as iron ore and coal, rose by $738 to $10,753.
Panamax Index
- The panamax index eased 17 points to 1,811, its lowest since April.
- Average daily earnings for panamaxes, which ferry 60,000-70,000 tonne coal or grain cargoes, fell $158 to $16,296.
Supramax Index
- The supramax index fell 9 points to its lowest level since February 2021 at 1,578.
