Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - Spot prices are still falling, but the decline is expected to slow down and gradually bottom out in October. Week 39 spot price was 1600 USD (equivalent to 1150 points on the futures market). The WSK's opening quotation for the first week of October (Week 40) was 1400 USD, with a weekly decline of -150, more aggressive than market expectations. OOCL and YML also lowered their prices [2]. - On Tuesday, the far - month futures market rose significantly, driven by expectations of a slowdown in decline and approaching the bottom, as well as sentiment from Sino - US trade negotiations and the China - Europe Railway Express. However, it declined at the end of the session due to the MSK's 1400 opening quotation. The basis of the October contract was -10 points, almost at par with the spot price. The October - December spread was -504.1 (-11), and the December contract's valuation was relatively neutral and slightly high. There are multiple upward drivers in the future, so the December contract is cautiously bullish, with a neutral valuation and mainly driven by trading factors. The settlement price of the February 2026 contract may be high as the Spring Festival in 2026 is late (February 17, 2026), and its current valuation is low. The long - position allocation of the February contract has a higher cost - performance than that of the December contract. To avoid the potential price - cutting risk of shipping companies in October, a long - February and short - April spread trade can be arranged [3].
