DryShips Inc., DRYS - Significant rise in Dry Bulk Shipping Index

My Dry Bulk Shipping Index, stoked by a significant rise in yesterday's BDI coupled with better-than-anticipated home sales data, rose 7.5% yesterday. This rise was mostly due to the performance of DryShips , which gained an astonishing 13.6% in trading yesterday; DryShips holds the index's largest weighting.

At first glance, the drivers behind DryShips' considerable rally are less than clear, with possible suspects ranging from speculation over Friday's earnings release to short-covering.DryShips is now up 17.0% on a weekly basis.


Shippers have continued to try to take advantage of a strong shipping rate environment, by helping to shore up future cash flows through contracts. These moves, combined with early indications of a bottoming and potential recovery in the global economy, have caused me to become less bearish toward the sector, as tracked by my DBSI, for the long term.
