FICC日报：运价中枢持续下行，关注马士基9月第一周报价-20250819

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The shipping rate center is continuously declining, and attention should be paid to Maersk's quotes in the first week of September [1][5]. - The 8 - month contract has seen the top of the shipping rate, and the continuous downward revision of the shipping rate brings uncertainty to the estimated delivery settlement price. The estimated final delivery settlement price is around 2100 points [4]. - The 10 - month contract is mainly for short allocation, and the focus is on the downward slope of the shipping rate. It is relatively safe to short - allocate, but the key lies in the downward space. In the context of a large discount, it is relatively safe to short the EC2510 contract on rallies, but do not over - short [5][6]. - The seasonal pattern of peak and off - peak seasons still exists for the 12 - month contract, and the risk lies in whether the Suez Canal will reopen. If it reopens, the seasonal pattern may be challenged [6]. - The main contract oscillates weakly, and it is advisable to short the 10 - month contract on rallies [8]. Summary by Directory 1.
