1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - The EC is currently in a contradiction between weak reality and strong expectations, and fluctuates greatly under the influence of Middle - East geopolitics and Sino - US tariff policies. On Thursday, the market declined due to shipping companies' push for price cuts at the end of October. With high shipping capacity in week 44, the price increase announcements in the first half of November are expected to have poor implementation. However, there are still upward drivers at multiple price - increase announcement nodes in the future. Currently, the valuation of the December contract is high, and long - positions are back in a driver - dominated period. Geopolitics has a large impact on 2026 contracts [2][27]. 3.
