Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The report suggests a strategy of shorting the EC2510 contract on rallies and holding the 10 - 12 and 10 - 02 reverse spreads. The 2508 contract's performance depends on Maersk's 32 - week freight rates, with limited unilateral trading value. The 2510 contract, in the traditional off - season, should be shorted on rallies, but the downward trend may not be smooth [9]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1.
