Baltic Dry Index Falls 1.34% to 2,511, Down for Tenth Straight Session

A tenth straight decline matters less for the headline number than for what it says about the breadth of the pullback: the index aggregates capesize, panamax and supramax rates, so a sustained slide implies weakness is not confined to one vessel class or one commodity lane. That makes it a read on bulk demand generally rather than a single route's story. The open question is whether this is a normal seasonal softening or the start of something more durable — the length of the streak, more than its size, is the signal worth tracking.
