集装箱运输市场日报：中美24%关税暂停影响偏中性，期价延续震荡-20250812

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content found Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - Today, the futures prices of each contract of the Container Shipping Index (European Line) opened significantly lower and then fluctuated upwards. By the close, all contracts except EC2508 slightly declined. The suspension of the 24% mutual tariffs between China and the US for 90 days has a relatively neutral impact on futures prices from a macro - sentiment perspective. MSC's reduction of the spot cabin quotation for the European Line has lowered the futures price estimate. The EC2508 contract has some support at the bottom based on the basis convergence logic, showing a slight oscillation. In the future, it is more likely that the EC will oscillate downward or continue to oscillate. In the medium - term, without sudden events, the overall futures price may still slightly decline [1] Group 3: Summary of Related Catalogs 1. EC Risk Management Strategy Recommendations - Position Management: For those who have bought cabin positions but face full capacity or poor booking volume and are worried about falling freight rates (long spot exposure), they can short the container shipping index futures (EC2510) in the range of 1500 - 1600 to lock in profits [1] - Cost Management: For those expecting to book cabins according to orders when shipping companies increase blank sailings or the peak season is approaching (short spot exposure), they can buy the container shipping index futures (EC2510) in the range of 1200 - 1300 to fix booking costs in advance [1] 2.
