摘要：International shipping plays a vital role in global trade. As history has shown, shipping is a cyclical and volatile industry and its evolution is strongly correlated with other industries. In this sense, the analysis of different shipping markets may provide useful and reliable information regarding the worldwide economic activity. The indices produced by Baltic Exchange offer a comprehensive outlook of different shipping markets. Moreover, the analysis of their dynamics from a time period to another improves price transparency and market understanding.
