The TCE earnings of ~$57,700/day versus the Baltic 5TC index of $39,906/day highlights Himalaya's significant operational premium, likely due to scrubber benefits and contract structure. Monitor the September Baltic Capesize index trajectory for read-through to next month's TCE; the $0.25/share distribution provides a ~1.8% annualized yield at current prices, which is supportive but not a catalyst.
