Baltic Dry Index Shipping Rates - 1/2/09 BDI

The following is a report on Dry Bulk Shipping Rates for 1/02/09. This data is critical for how the DryBulk Shipping Stocks such as DryShips ( DRYS ), Excel Maritime Carriers ( EXM ), Diana Shipping ( DSX ), Genco Shipping ( GNX ), TBS International ( TBSI ), Navios Maritime ( NM ), and OceanFreight ( OCNF ) will trade during the day.
