Shipping
Grain freight, daily
The freight index measures the cost of moving grain, not grain prices. It is weekly before 2025 and business-daily since.
Chokepoint transits, daily
PortWatch counts ships from their AIS signals and revises recent days as late signals arrive. The Strait of Hormuz is left out on purpose: ships running dark there make the count unreliable, and the IM Update does not print it.
