The freight market continued to soften further with all segments down except for the handy size which was marginally up by 10 points. However the Supramax in the Far East/SE Asia was quite firm beginning of the week with charter rates up by about 3-4000 per day, however softened towards later half of the week. Seems the reason could be because of shipments out of Indonesia end of April and approaching Easter holidays.
The BDI was down by 3.20 pct and closing at 1,254 points, whereas cape index was down by 1.53 pct and closed at 1,540 points. The panamax index was most affected which was down by 9.05 pct and closed at 1,377 points. The Supramax index was down by 0.93 pct and closed at 1,401 points, whereas the handy size index was up by 0.75 pct and closed at 802 pct. The market appears will continue to be soft next week also.

The EC India/China (S7 route) also softened slightly and was down by 0.50 pct (down by US$ 71 per day) and closed at US$ 14071 per day (last week US$ 14142 per day). The S6 and S7 routes likely to be soft soft week also.
