Baltic Dry Index drops to new all time low
The Baltic Dry Index (BDI) fell to its lowest level ever on Wednesday dropping to 553 points.

The index’s previous all-time low was 554, which it hit on Monday this week and 6 August 1986.

The BDI had rallied slightly on Tuesday moving up to 556 points before falling back 0.54% on Wednesday.

The collapse in the dry bulk freight rates is being blamed on lower commodity prices, reduced demand and an oversupply of ships.
