The Baltic Dry Index, which measures the cost of shipping goods worldwide, was down for the fourth straight session on Wednesday, slipping about 5.9% to an over six-week high of 1,176 points, amid weaker demand across all vessel segments. The capesize index, which tracks iron ore and coal cargos of 150,000 tonnes, slumped 7.3% to its lowest in more than four weeks at 1,516 points; and the panamax index, which tracks about 60,000 to 70,000 tonnes of coal and grains cargoes, fell 4.2% to its lowest since September 5th at 1,378 points. At the same time, the supramax index shed 56 points to 912 points, the lowest in over two years. (Source: Baltic Exchange)
