As the fall approaches, we seem to be returning into the murky waters of the 2008 market. All summer, volumes in the market have been very low, probably mostly generated from a few computers trading amongst themselves. The Baltic freight rate has plummeted to a low of $1700
What does this all mean? Well, the fall has the potential to be a repeat of fall 2008. If liquidity begins drying up, we could experience very strong selling pressures. Unfortunately, the only haven will be cash once again… making it king!
