Glimmer of Hope – Baltic Dry Index
Posted on February 9th, 2009 No commentsGiving a glimmer of hope, the Baltic Dry Index (BDI) – measuring freight rates for iron ore and other bulk goods – jumped by 40% last week due to increased Chinese demand for iron ore. The Index has gained 125% over the past two months after plunging by 94% since its May high. The chart below illustrates the close relationship between the BDI (red line) and Reuters/Jeffries CRB Index (green line). (Not shown, the trends of the BDI and US Treasury yields also follow more or less the same path.)
