Hello and welcome to another insightful episode of Freight Up, the freight and commodity podcast from Freight Investor Services.

I'm Jess, and alongside my co-host Davide, we're here to bring you up to speed on the latest market movements and trends in the freight and bulk commodity sectors. Today's episode, "Falling Capes amid Chinese Stimulus" promises to be a compelling mix of critical market analysis and expert insights.

We're joined by Archie Smith and Hao Pei, each with their wealth of knowledge and unique perspectives.

First off, we'll dive into the recent dry FFA movements where the absence of impactful stimuli from China has had a significant effect. Capesize vessels have particularly felt the brunt. We explore why this is happening and discuss how Panamaxes and smaller vessels are faring in this tricky market.
