Capes dive below 2,000; Geopolitics become theatre of the absurd…
The BDI (Baltic Dry Index) fell 29 points since yesterday and now stands at 1,264 points… We can now reconfirm that Geopolitics become The theatre of the Absurd – Samuel Becket could had confirm that… John Faraclas’ Daily brief recap:
The Capes’ BCI lost its 2,000 point mark or is it the “classic summer” fall? Just wonder what the gurus say…
A bit of a controlled fall for the Panamaxes with the BPI now standing at 1,136 – minus 25 points… CAUTION!
The Supras’ BSI with yet another single digit loss – down nine points and stands at 897…
Two, yes two !! plus points for the Handies’ BHSI now at 474 !!!!
Hiccups with the Wets; the last published BDTI (Dirties) and BCTI (Cleans) stood at 513 – minus three and 362 as per yesterday points. CAUTION…
The WTI as these lines are written reads US$ 40.94 which is 72 cents below yesterday’s closing of US$ 41.66… Good news!!!! Let’s have I below the US$ 40.00 mark!!!
As said Geopolitics are getting very odd; here is a small brief:
MIGRANTS retain the top position in Geopolitics and with the forthcoming Wars, brace for the millions on the move… err on the go… This will be enhanced by the Super Recession and the despicable effects of the Coronavirus anathema…
Turkey’s aggressiveness within its 1,500 miles radius from its frontiers inside the faulty line from Gib to Afghanistan and from the Caucuses down to the Horn of Africa already creates the preamble of the Third World War. CAUTION. A couple of years ago, Italy’s Salvini gave a monumental speech in the European Parliament. Just try and find same, it is worth it!
Greece is still on alert with Turkey as this call for a summit between both will lead nowhere. Respect to the International Law and the Law of the Seas. It’s all about the EEZ, nothing else but Turks cannot accept any reality, nor any law…
Europe is trying to get its act together… More aid please; you can also print money and contain the forthcoming social upturn… Wake up!
BREXIT still a long way to go…
At the other side of the Atlantic, situ still the same; mind the game between Trump and Biden.. Wonder who will finally win the match as we say in tennis. Hope is not a Pyrrhic Victory for whoever “wins”. Meantime America flexes its muscles in the South China Sea… CAUTION. Low USDollar offers investments for hose capable in doing so even in these turbulent markets.
Did I hear you say Gold? well, those with patience must be by now multi billion dollar winners…
More Geopolitical news in tomorrow’s midweek recap; say tuned…
Coronavirus (COVID-19) spreads and MUST contain same before it is too late. No more excuses as things get worse; isn’t time the politicians worldwide come down to their senses before we all come down to our knees – but they will be the first to “go”…

On another tone and note, following successful performances in Greece’s main cities, Athens and Thessaloniki, Bruce Gooch’s classic play “Tangled Gardens” found a fertile land …err garden, in Greece’s island of wonders within the Anargirios and Corgialenios School of Spetses …garden! All you need is love was the famous and by now classic Beatles song “All you need is love” and this is precisely what the Tangled Garden is all about: A reminder of the power of love! Indeed it happens that people with seemingly contrasting personalities can find their other half they have been looking for all through their lives!!!! Don’t ask me…
Stelios Mainas’ and Katia Sperelaki’s – she also translated the play, performance following an excellent directorship by Dimitris Milonas on a very difficult play and in the interesting times we experience and witness today, was monumental! Excellent scenography too
Well done for the AKSS Foundation and its Executive Committee’s Secretary-General Ms. Elina Papatheodorou who organises and runs these multiple of events, be it Educational, Cultural, Arts, Sports, Business, you name it! Log on at the AKSS site and …book your presence for the forthcoming events. See you there.
Have a nice evening but continue to remain on guard from actions emanating from Pirates, Terrorists, Criminals and any Business Hooligans whatsoever wherever you are on Planet Ocean. Once again a big THANK YOU to all who really care for all humans – Doctors, Nurses, Seafarers, Dockers, Port Authorities et al during this Coronavirus disaster!! We repeat: Do please invest in Hospitals including Equipment, Doctors, Nurses and any useful means to avoid further disasters! Become more disciplined and care for the Environment too. Lastly: Education and Training for all to be able to tackle these disasters. Let’s work collectively together and NOT opt for a fistful of Dollars to restart the already collapsed global economy… which is in red US$ 260 (twohundredandsixty) trillion…
