BDI anses av många vara en bra ledande indikator för ekonomins tillstånd och börsernas framtid.

Divergensen mellan den senaste tidens sjunkande BDI och börsernas uppgång har av dysterkvistarna ansetts bevisa att börsuppgången är "fejk", "manipulation" eller liknande björnavrål.

Men det finns en mycket logisk och marknadsmässig förklaring:

"“A few years ago, there was a big shortage of these large ships, and the [Baltic Dry] Index soared,” said Ed Yardeni.

The response to the soaring freight prices was for shipping companies to order new vessels from shipbuilders – orders that were placed before the 2008-09 recession that hammered shipping rates.

But because of the lengthy manufacturing cycle for large freighters, many of those ships are only now being delivered.

“Now, we have a glut of capacity for these commodities,” he said."

“The weakness … is probably telling us a lot more about the shipping industry than the commodities market or the global economy.”

Då vet vi det, kan förpassa BDI till runda analysarkivet, samt kaxigt smila och småle en smula då "experterna" hänvisar till BDI framöver.

"The bottom line is that because it has so many moving parts it's just not that good of an economic indicator, though unfortunately a lot of storieshave been written about how great it is, and how people should pay attention to it. Also, because it's so volatile, you can tell a heck of a story using it."

- Poppis att skriva om, värdelös indikator, är väl slutsatsen.
