This information helps with timing of investment decisions. Can someone please remind me of the specific cycles that have been identified.

A slowdown in global shipping of raw materials is truly a big deal.

Is the index value calculated before or after fuel surchares. I would think that in the present situation, the price of fuel would affect the index as much as demand. Could the price of fuel also be a helpful leading indicator and could it be somehow confounded with the BDI, requiring a correction factor to help interpret BDI?
