1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The cease - fire negotiation suppresses the market sentiment, but there is still an expectation of price increase during the long - term contract season for shipping companies. The market price of EC2512 rebounded in the afternoon. The freight rates of some shipping companies are expected to rise in the second half of October, and attention should be paid to the implementation of the price increase. The demand for goods continues to decline seasonally, and the supply capacity has decreased compared with the previous period. The cease - fire negotiation and resumption of flights are expected to suppress the far - month contracts [6][7]. - For trading strategies, in terms of single - sided trading, the far - month contracts are more affected by the cease - fire in the Palestine - Israel conflict. The remaining long positions of EC2512 can be held, and if there is a significant correction in the near - month contract EC2512, one can consider buying on dips and operate flexibly. For arbitrage, the 10 - 12 reverse arbitrage can be operated on dips in a rolling manner, and the 2 - 4 positive arbitrage should be continued to be held [8][9]. 3.
