Baltic index heads south d-o-d following Capesize rate drop

The Baltic Exchange’s dry bulk index decreased by 122 points d-o-d to 2,022 on 14 Oct’25. The index declined as Capesize rates weakened, weighed down by slower iron ore shipments from major exporters and an increase in vessel availability.

• Capesize: The BCI declined sharply by 385 points to 3,007.
• Panamax: The BPI inched up by 9 points to 1,815.
• Supramax: The BSI rose by 8 points to 1,408.
