Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View - The European container shipping line (EC) opened low and fluctuated, with the 06 contract closing at 1704.7 points, down 6.57%. Most shipping companies' freight rates in the first half of April continued the quotes at the end of March, with a slight increase in the second half. The freight rates in April tend to stabilize, and the average price of a 40 - foot container in the 16th week was around $2300. Some shipping companies have announced their online quotes for May, with the quotes for 40 - foot containers ranging from $2337 to $4545. The weekly average capacity put into service by shipping companies in May exceeds 300,000 TEU, and the rate - increase efforts of each shipping company vary. The market had expectations for the upcoming traditional peak season in the second quarter, but under the uncertainty of high tariffs, shipping companies may start a price - cut game to preserve more profits rather than betting on the peak - season demand, and the expected peak - season node may be postponed or the expected difference may drop to zero. Trump's latest tariff policy "U - turn" announced a 90 - day delay in equivalent tariffs for most countries, which may lead to short - term emotional repair. Attention should be paid to the shipping companies' subsequent capacity regulation and the progress of rate increases in May [1] 3.
