Dry Bulk FFA: Capesize Market Quietens Down
in Dry Bulk Market,International Shipping News 20/10/2017


Capesize FFA Commentary:
Capes were very quiet today and trading was thin. Oct-Dec traded in a tight range of only a few hundred dollars. C5 was reported to have fixed lower at $8.50 then $8.40 to RTS but had little impact on Av 5 TC pricing. The defrerreds were very quiet and only reports of Q4 ’18 trading at $17k gave us indication of pricing. C5 Oct traded at $8.20.
Panamax FFA Commentary:
A quiet start to the day with range bound trading as prompt periods were the main focus. November traded at $13000 and q4 $12500. After index buyers returned to the market across the curve with back end seeing renewed interest.
Supramax FFA Commentary:
Supramax paper witnessed some resistance today as buyers started to creep back in but the rates remained pretty flat. The Nov Dec package was seen trading in $11950-$12050 range and Q1 was paid $9650. Index continues to show positive numbers as the physical market remains firm. Have a good evening.
Handysize FFA Commentary:
Handysize paper continues to be stuck in the current range with no great movement down the curve. Cal 18 was reported trading $8400. Have a good evening.
