June 6th, 2011 by Belisarius

(For The Week Ending June 3, 2011)

Baltic dry index rose 1.5% last week; Capesize Index was up 8.1%; Panamax Index fell 4.1%; Supramax Index was down 1.0%; Handysize Index fell 1.9%.

Thermal coal stockpiles ticked up but are still at extremely low levels; Steel stockpiles fell but stocks are high; Iron ore stockpiles recorder a massive rise reaching new record high. Prices still strong.

Iron ore inventory rise could be a early warning sign of stronger than expected China slowdown.
