The Baltic Dry Index has fallen today to the lowest level since mid May, down for a 6th straight day at 2,356. It still remains 255% off the Dec lows but is now down 45% off the late May ’09 high and is 80% below the record high in May ’08. To give perspective on how much of an outlier though the May ’08 high was at 11,793 and compared with today’s level, the 20 year average is about 2,300.
