Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - Today, the futures price of the Container Shipping Index (European Line) (EC) oscillated at a low level with a slight upward trend. As of the close, the prices of EC contracts showed mixed movements. The main reason for the overall oscillatory trend of today's futures price is that although the US announced a 100% tariff increase on China, subsequent statements on social media by Trump and Vance were more conciliatory, leading to an oscillating macro - sentiment. Additionally, the near - month contracts rebounded due to CMA CGM's announcement of a November freight rate increase. In the short term, the futures price is likely to continue oscillating. It is necessary to closely monitor the cease - fire process in Gaza and Sino - US relations. Strategically, one can generally remain on the sidelines or attempt a 10 - 12 positive spread strategy [3]. 3.
