Global InformationFreightos Baltic Index information
The Freightos Baltic Index (FBX) (also sometimes known as the Freightos Baltic Daily Index[1] or Freightos Baltic Global Container Index[2]) is a daily freight container index issued by the Baltic Exchange[3] and Freightos. The index measures global container freight rates[4] by calculating spot rates for 40-foot containers on 12 global tradelanes.[5] It is reported around the world as a proxy for shipping stocks, and is a general shipping market bellwether. The FBX is currently one of the most widely used freight rate indices.[6]
