WRITEUP
CAPESIZE
The market opened the week on a softer footing, with sentiment weakening across both basins and liquidity remaining relatively thin. The BCI 182 5TC declined by $1,576 on the day to $42,798, reflecting the broader easing in activity. C5 slipped $0.785 to $13.135, while C3 edged down $0.245 to $36.255. In the Pacific, sentiment was weaker into the close, with a subdued tone prevailing and overall volumes appearing thinner. In the Atlantic, the start to the week was similarly muted, with sentiment a touch softer and limited urgency from both sides of the market. Miner participation on C5 was notably light, with only one miner active in the market today. Offers quickly adjusted lower, moving below the $14 level, with the bid emerging around $13 against initial offers in the mid-$13s. Reports indicated fixtures around $13.15, followed by an operator fixing at $13.05. In the Atlantic, early July bids were seen in the low $36s against offers in the low $37s. Oil rallied sharply, with Brent up around 4–5%, as renewed Iran–Israel strikes reignited supply disruption fears and pushed geopolitical risk premium back into the market.
PANAMAX
The week has begun with mixed trends across the Atlantic and Pacific markets. While the Atlantic has remained largely flat, the Pacific has shown softer movement, reflected in the P5TC easing by $155 to $19,966. In the Atlantic, brokers have noted that although some fresh enquiry has entered the market, there has been limited fixture activity, with wide bid-offer spreads persisting as owners hold firm on their rate expectations while prompt tonnage volumes off the North Continent continue to build. The Pacific market has opened the week under pressure, with limited fresh demand and rates softening, as reflected in today's reported fixtures. Market participants note a growing tonnage list in the South and while some of this may be absorbed, the persistent oversupply continues to weigh on overall market sentiment. The Grace Mild (75,563 2001) was reported to have fixed Indonesian coal to Putian at $11,800 to Messrs Zhenjiang Zhongtuo but further details lacked. The Taho Circular (84,484 2022) open Zhanjiang 8/9 June fixed an Australian round at around $26,000 to TMM and the scrubber fitted Gouverneur (82,038 2026) open Gunsan 2/3 June was said to be on subjects in the mid to high $24,000's with some suggesting also for an Australian trip. The JZ Unity (75,181 2008) open Fangcheng 4/5 June was said to have fixed at around $18,000 but further clarity lacked. The AE Jupiter (74,476 2007) open Beihai 7 June was talked to be on subjects for a trip via Indonesia to South China in the $17,000's.
SUPRAMAX
Positive momentum maintained overall, as most areas gained traction. From the Atlantic, brokers said that there was a good amount of fresh enquiry and stronger numbers being discussed although fresh fixing information remained limited. In Asia, after last week's rather lacklustre feel, brokers felt a bit more activity was being seen. The Kingfisher (57,809 2010) was heard fixed basis delivery Zhanjiang for a backhaul trip to ARAG - Riga at $17,000 for the 1st 75 days and $19,000 thereafter with Chinaland. Otherwise, the Guo Qiang 8 (63,376 2018) open Huanghua 4/6 June was fixed redelivery West Africa at $23,000 with Lynux. The Ever Progress (56,592 2012) open Bahudopi 7/8 June fixed a nickel ore run at around $19,500-$20,500 with Blue Whale. From the Indian Ocean, the Marawah Island (60,280 2015) open Mundra 3/4 June fixed a trip to South Korea with salt at $17,500. The Grace Jessie (57,825 2009) open Mumbai 7/9 June was heard to have been placed on subjects for a trip via WC India to The Arabian Gulf with bauxite mid teens, but no more details came to light. On the short period front, the Ceylon Princess (63,212 2016) open Hazira 5/10 June fixed for 2 laden legs at $15,000, but further details remained lacking. The 11TC average closed up $101 at $20,168.
HANDYSIZE
It was a quiet start to the week for the Handy sector, with the BHSI edging up by 1 point to 865, while the 7TC average increased by $19 to close at $15,565. Across the Continent and Mediterranean, last week's trend persisted, with limited fresh enquiry resulting in subdued activity. In contrast, the US Gulf continued to show a firmer tone, with participants cautiously optimistic as rates gradually strengthened. Meanwhile, the South Atlantic continued to soften, as demand remained insufficient to absorb the growing tonnage list. In Asia, rates improved slightly as the demand-supply balance tightened marginally.
