  1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Report's Core View - This week, Maersk significantly increased the spot freight rates for the second half of October, indicating that shipping companies are starting to support prices for the upcoming peak season. Currently, the overall cargo volume on the European route is weak, and there was some control over shipping capacity in the first half of October due to holidays. Future attention should be paid to the implementation of shipping companies' price - support measures and the market's expectations for the peak season in December [7]. - Bullish factors include the complex situation in the Middle East, which makes short - term navigation in the Red Sea unlikely, and some shipping companies starting to support freight rates for the second half of October [7]. - Bearish factors are that the deployed shipping capacity on the European route is currently relatively high, and the cargo volume remains at the off - season level. The cargo volume in the second half of October may fall short of expectations [7]. 3.
