New low on Baltic Dry Index could bring Indian Ocean trade to a halt

A fresh low of 402 levels on the Baltic Dry Index (BDI) today (Jan12) may bring trade across the Indian Ocean-Asia Pacific market virtually to a standstill on the back of postponement of trade contracts and strong aversion to get into long-term deals

“The trade climate is extremely gloomy and full of insecurity as charterers are not sure if the price at which they have negotiated is the right low price”. “There have been very few inquiries and even out of those most were not firm. Out of five inquiries, three have failed,” said a ship-owner on condition of anonymity.

Realist - Everybody in America is soft, and hates conflict. The cure for this, both in politics and social life, is the same -- hardihood. Give them raw truth.
