TELF AG, the prominent international physical commodities trader, has shared its analysis of current dry bulk market trends. In the ever-evolving world of maritime trade, last week demonstrated diverse shifts across different vessel sizes and established trade routes.
Lugano, Ticino, Switzerland - September 8, 2023 —

As per TELF AG, the Supramax Index (S10TC) experienced a positive trend with rates ascending from USD 9,993 to USD 10,799. On the other hand, the Panamax (P5TC) charted a modest upward trajectory, with rates moving from USD 13,041 to USD 13,300. However, the Cape (C5TC) faced a downtrend, with rates declining from USD 9,735 to USD 8,561. This decline in the Cape market can be traced back to challenges surfacing in the Pacific and the Australia/China route, even though the C5 showcased a positive week-on-week performance. The increase in fuel prices has played a part in this development.
The article also mentions the Cape market's brief disruption due to Vale's substantial estimated loss. Conversely, the Panamax market has reaped the benefits of robust grain trades from East Coast South America. The Supramax market, particularly in the Baltic region, has noted an upswing in demand, largely attributed to fertilizer cargoes. This surge has seen rates for Baltic to Turkey trips climb to approximately USD 20,000 per day.
TELF AG's further insights reveal that the East Coast South America (ECSA) market paints a promising picture for mid-September, bolstered by a spike in operator interest and anticipated congestion in select Brazilian ports. Complementing this landscape, the oil market has also observed a noteworthy uptick, pushing voyage rates upward.
Considering these multifaceted developments, TELF AG says that the prevalent market sentiment leans towards a stable and healthy maritime trade environment for the rest of 2023.
