Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - Today, the futures price of the Container Shipping Index (European Line) (EC) opened lower, declined, and then fluctuated upwards. By the close, all EC contracts' prices had declined to varying degrees, with the 02 and 06 contracts dropping by over 10%. [3] - The initial low - opening and decline of today's futures price were mainly due to the preliminary agreement on the Gaza cease - fire negotiation, which negatively affected market sentiment and caused the futures price, especially that of the far - month contracts, to fall. Additionally, Maersk's announcement of the European Line booking quotes for late October, which were the same as the previous week's, led to a recovery in the futures price. [3] - In the short term, the futures price is likely to continue fluctuating. However, given past precedents, the Gaza cease - fire process may be volatile, so relevant situations need close attention. Strategically, it is advisable to mainly adopt a wait - and - see approach or conduct intraday short - term operations. [3] 3.
