Today, we're gonna look specifically at two of those.
John OllettHOST
Firstly, Capesize freight rates are hitting a five-year high, and secondly, there is a big shortage of jet fuel in Europe with material now coming from much further afield and at much greater cost.
John OllettHOST
So Alec, turning to you first, the Capesize market is principally all about Australia, Brazil, and China, and yet rates are up.
John OllettHOST
What's going on?
Alec KubikoffGUEST
Yeah.
Alec KubikoffGUEST
Hi, John.
Alec KubikoffGUEST
You're quite right.
Alec KubikoffGUEST
Um, Capesize rates are currently at their highest level since October twenty twenty-one.

Alexander SaverysGUEST

Uh, they got it right, uh, after all.
