Dry Bulk Chart of the Week: Iron Ore Flows & Capesize Tonne Days During the second quarter of this year, the monthly volume of Brazilian iron ore has seen an increase. Additionally, growth in Capesize tonne days from Brazil to China has been observed since the end of May. While this growth suggests potential for the market, its impact on the performance of the Baltic Capesize Index in July remains uncertain. The decline in available ballasters may lead to tighter supply conditions, potentially driving rates higher. However, the exact effect on the Baltic Capesize Index will depend on various factors, including ongoing demand and port congestion levels.
