Hello, and welcome to this week's Freight Up podcast.

I'm Jess.

Together with Davide, we'll guide you through this episode, packed with insights and analysis.

Today, we're covering a lot of info despite Archie Smith missing our segment on fuel oil.

We'll kick things off with the latest updates in the freight market, diving into index movements over the last two weeks.

From the steady but modest shifts in the Panamax market to the more dramatic fluctuations in Capesize contracts, we'll give you the detailed breakdown you need to understand these currents.

Next up, we're diving into the iron ore sector with insights from Hao Pei in Shanghai.

As Hao discusses, the iron ore index saw a rise and fall this week.

He analyses the geopolitical and economic factors that contributed to these movements.

Hao's analysis will equip you with a nuanced understanding of how global events shape this crucial commodity market.

We also touch upon the coking coal market.
