The independent source for Baltic Dry Index data, shipping market analysis and freight rate intelligence.
BalticDryIndex.com was created to make Baltic Dry Index data accessible to everyone β from professional commodity traders and shipping analysts to investors, economists and students who want to understand what the BDI tells us about global trade.
The BDI is published daily by the London-based Baltic Exchange and reflects the cost of shipping raw materials across 23 major global routes. It is one of the most closely watched leading economic indicators in the world, yet reliable, independent data and analysis has historically been locked behind expensive subscriptions.
We believe everyone should have access to this information, free of charge.
BDI data on this site is sourced from Yahoo Finance and Stooq.com, both of which publish daily Baltic Exchange data. The authoritative source of all BDI data is the Baltic Exchange, London.
All data is indicative only and may be delayed. See our Disclaimer for full details.
