The Baltic Exchange\u2019s dry bulk index has experienced a significant surge, climbing for the third consecutive session on Tuesday. The index, which measures the rates for vessels transporting dry commodities, jumped 12.3% to reach 1,999 points, marking its highest level since December 19. This increase is primarily driven by strong performance in the larger vessel segment.<\/a><\/p>\n
