It was a slow start to the week with limited trading in both hemispheres. With lack of fresh cargoes and a steady flow of ballasters entering the Atlantic, the supply/demand indices facing bigger gap. Mid week we do however see some more cargoes in the Atlantic and this is probably caused by the attractive freight rates being achieved by chrts. TArvs pending around USD high 8´s and fronthauls being fixed in the region of USD 17k. News of China starting up stimulus packages to help the economy might influence the market positively. They will build infrastructure and help the steel sector. In the Pacific some period fixtures were reported at low USD 6k while rounds are being fixed in region of USD 5,500-6,000.
Capesize
With a slow end to a slow week the market has struggled to pick up momentum this week with limited cargoes to be had in both basins. The levels that did fix are down w-o-w levels. C5 continued to slide, due to a very slow iron ore market, believe the lowest level iron ore cargo fixed at USD 6.75 pmt and coal prices are also dropping slowing the coal market with limited activity from Chinese importers. 4CTC average edged down to around the USD 4100/day down from the USD 4500/day level last week. There has been limited period activity but short period levels should be somewhere in the mid to high USD 9000 level. With the continuing downward trend in the market we also hear that MOL has decided to scrap and cold lay-up between 10-20 Capesizes over the coming months. Source: FEARNLEYS AS
