Capesize: The capes started the week on an upbeat note. All three majors were active in the market at the beginning of the week, resulting in a healthy volume of cargo from West Australia to China.
Capesize: The decline in the first week of the year appeared to be no surprise to the market due to the lackluster activity and seasonal headwinds since the holiday season.

Capesize: Overall it was not a very active week, with limited fresh cargo support from either of the basins.
