Baltic Dry up over 200%

Baltic Dry Index is up more than 200% year to date.  We are now seeing China (FXI, quote) restocking  its coal and steel after 6 to 9 months of de-stocking.

This means – you have legs on this trade which at one point only looked like a “trade”. 

In other words, ore, steel, and shipper stocks were so beaten up not a surprise to see bounce. 

But this is more than dead cat.

I like large cape size shippers here but watch the balance sheets.   

Bigger is better…
