Report Industry Investment Rating No information about the report's industry investment rating is provided in the given content. Core Viewpoints - The top of the August contract's freight rate has emerged, and the continuous downward revision of the freight rate brings uncertainty to the estimated delivery settlement price, with the final estimated settlement price around 2100 points [4]. - The October contract should be mainly short - allocated during the off - season, and the focus is on the downward slope of the freight rate. Under normal circumstances, the price in October is 20% - 30% lower than that in August. In the context of a large discount, it is relatively safe to short - allocate the EC2510 contract on rallies, but excessive short - chasing should be avoided [4][5]. - The seasonal pattern of peak and off - seasons still exists for the December contract, and the risk lies in whether the Suez Canal will reopen. In regular years, the price in December is generally more than 10% higher than that in October [6]. - For strategies, the main contract is expected to fluctuate weakly on a single - side basis, and it is advisable to short the October contract on rallies for arbitrage [8]. Summary by Directory 1. Market Analysis - Online Quotations: Different shipping companies have different price quotations for different routes and time periods. For example, Gemini Cooperation's Maersk Shanghai - Rotterdam price in week 36 is 1290/2160; HPL's various time - period quotations are relatively stable at 1535/2435.
