The Baltic Dry Index, which tracks global shipping rates, has fallen for 24 consecutive days, its longest losing streak since August 2005. The BDI closed at 2,406 yesterday, its lowest point since last October.
As shipping rates fall, dry bulk shippers like Dryships Inc. (NASDAQ: DRYS), Genco Shipping & Trading Ltd. (NYSE: GNK), and Diana Shipping Inc. (NYSE: DSX) follow. All three shippers seem to be setting new 52-week lows every day. Two shippers more active in crude oil and refined products transportation are Frontline Ltd. (NYSE: FRO) and Teekay Corp. (NYSE: TK), both of which have seen share prices appreciate in the past year. The recently re-issued Claymore/Delta Global Shipping ETF (NYSE: SEA) is also trading near its 52-week low.
