On November 1st, 2022, The Baltic Dry Index fell 4.63% to 1463 ,  which has been decreasing consistently in last 10 days. The global transport capacity is still showing a “supply exceeds demand” situation.

Meanwhile, International oil prices fell across the board. The US oil contract for December fell 1.92% to US $86.21 per barrel. The oil distribution contract in January next year fell 0.98% to 92.85 dollars/barrel. In October, the contract of American Oil in December rose by 8.45%, and the contract of Indian Oil in January next year rose by 9.06%.

A stronger dollar and a bleak demand outlook dragged down oil prices. Earlier, the Secretary General of OPEC reiterated that the oil market will be oversupplied in the fourth quarter of this year and early next year.
