The SSY Atlantic Capesize Index rose by 161 points week-on-week to 7,550 points as a pickup in Brazilian iron ore chartering saw fronthaul rates from the region strengthen. There were increases of $200/day and $500/day in the round-voyage and fronthaul rates to $16,500/day and $30,000/day, respectively. The latter a six week high.
