SNAPSHOT OF
COMMERCIAL INDICATORS
Week 19 / 2017
(08-12 May)
“The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.’’
Albert Einstein, theoretical physicist, (1879 – 1955)
Introductory Note:
We consider the herein indicators valuable in decision making since shipping is a derived demand
industry with many financial interactions. Turbulent global macro/micro-climate involving stock markets,
currency exchanges and opportunity cost for alternative investments affect the shipping market.
In the previous years, as brokers we always faced the fact that the information that we wanted to
combine with our gut feeling was never available at our finger tips.
This is our small contribution to yours and ours business.
