The Baltic dry index, which tracks rates for ships ferrying dry bulk commodities and reflects rates for capesize, panamax and supramax vessels, was up 62 points, or 3.9%, at 1,667 points.

The index gained 28.6% this week.

The capesize index gained 161 points, or 5.8%, at 2,915 points, also scaling an over two-month high. The capesize index gained 53.4% this week.

The panamax index was up 19 points, or 1.4%, at 1,380 points.
