A key gauge of bulk shipping rates climbed to the highest since early December, driven by a surge in demand and tightening vessel supply. The Baltic Dry Index rose 5.5% to 2,484 points on Wednesday in London, extending its rally for a ninth straight session. The index tracks freight rates across Capesize, Panamax and Supramax vessels hauling raw materials including iron ore, coal and grains. Demand was concentrated in Capesize ships, the segment most exposed to iron ore. A Capesize benchmark that’s based on vessels of 182,000 deadweight tons jumped to the highest year-to-date, supported by firm cargo volumes and a tightening list of available ships in the Pacific. Major miners including Rio Tinto Group and Fortescue Ltd. were active in the spot market, helping lift rates as they secured tonnage, according to a research note from Thurlestone Shipping . Activity in the Atlantic also strengthened with Brazil to China fixtures, adding to bullish sentiment. The second quarter typically marks a pickup in iron ore shipments, while demand from China, the world’s top steel producer, enters a busier period as construction activity recovers in spring. Iron ore imports rose 11% year-on-year in March, customs data showed. Singapore iron ore futures advanced 1% to $105.35 a ton at 12:24 p.m. local time.
