  1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the given text 2. Core View of the Report - The container shipping index (European Line) is expected to experience wide - amplitude fluctuations. The market supply - demand imbalance will continue until the end of September, and the freight rate trend in October is uncertain, with a small decline or stability being possible. The report suggests considering rolling into 02 - 04 and 12 - 04 calendar spreads on dips [10][12][14] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Performance - Yesterday, the container shipping index (European Line) rose and then fell. The main 2510 contract closed at 1340.7 points, up 3.62%, with an increase of 1886 lots in positions. The second - main 2512 contract closed at 1733.5 points, up 6.88%, with an increase of 178 lots in positions [10] 3.2 Freight Rate - The SCFIS European route index was 1,773.60 points, down 10.9% week - on - week; the SCFIS US West route index was 1,013.90 points, down 2.6% week - on - week. The SCFI European route index was $1,481/TEU, down 11.2% bi - weekly; the SCFI US West route index was $1,923/FEU, up 17.0% bi - weekly [1] - In the second week of September, the European basic port freight rate was maintained in the range of $1900 - 2200/FEU, with the FAK average around $2050/FEU. Shipping companies have successively lowered their freight rates [11] 3.3 Capacity - In September, the number of blank sailings remained unchanged at 6, and there were no pending voyages, with the weekly average capacity reaching 296,000 TEU/week, a decline of about 6% compared to August, significantly lower than the same period in 2024. In October, there are 2 pending voyages and 11 blank sailings. Without considering the pending voyages, the current weekly average capacity is 282,000 TEU/week, a 4.6% decline month - on - month and a 7% increase year - on - year [12] 3.4 Supply - Demand Pattern - In late August, the overall market loading rate was around 95%. Shipping companies have relaxed restrictions on low - price contract bookings and large - volume special offers, which helps short - term shipments but intensifies price competition. The supply - demand imbalance in the market will continue until at least the end of September, and the freight rate trend in October is uncertain [12] 3.5 Historical Market Review - In 2024, the weighted European Line index stopped falling on September 10. In late September, there was a short - term speculation on the US West port strike, but the strike was resolved during the National Day holiday. After the holiday, the market first gave back the "strike" premium and then traded on the shipping company's price increase announcements [13] 3.6 Strategy - Consider rolling into 02 - 04 and 12 - 04 calendar spreads on dips [14]
