omorrow (1 March 2018), the Baltic Exchange will be implementing previously announced changes to the Baltic Dry Index (BDI). 

The BDI will be re-weighted to the following ratios of timecharter assessments:

40% Capesize, 30% Panamax and 30% Supramax.

It will no longer include the Handysize timecharter average. A multiplier of 0.1 will be applied to the calculation.
