1. Report Information - Report Type: Daily Report on Freight Index for Container Shipping to Europe [1] - Date: November 13, 2025 [2] - Researcher: He Zhuoqiao (Macro Precious Metals), Huang Wenxin (Treasury Bonds and Container Shipping), Nie Jiayi (Stock Index Futures) [3] 2. Industry Investment Rating - Not provided 3. Core Viewpoints - This week, the SCFIS index rose 24.5% week-on-week to 1504.8, better than expected. Although the actual demand may not support a large increase in freight rates, the market is likely to form a bottoming-out and recovery trend, and the bottom of freight rates within the year may have appeared. However, with the December contract in a premium state, the market is starting to consider the potential for rate increases and the likelihood of them materializing. The February contract incorporates strong expectations of a pre - Spring Festival shipping rush, which drives up the prices of far - month contracts. It is recommended to consider shorting the off - season April contract [8]. 4. Summary by Directory 4.1 Market Review and Operation Suggestions - The SCFIS index rose 24.5% week - on - week to 1504.8 this week. The price increase in the first half of November was well - implemented, but the attempt to raise prices in the second half fell short. Shipping companies have lowered their quoted price increases for November and December. For example, the Premier Alliance aggressively reduced the first - half November quote for the Shanghai - Rotterdam route to $1806 - 1935 per forty - foot equivalent unit (FEU), and maintained the second - half quote at $2535 per FEU. The OCEAN Alliance also slightly lowered the first - half November quote to $2150 - 2520 per FEU, and most maintained the second - half quote at $2800 - 3000, except for CMA CGM, whose quote for the second half of November to the first half of December was $3170 - 3920, but lower than the previous quote. It is recommended to pay attention to shorting the off - season April contract [8]. 4.2 Industry News - From November 3 to November 7, the overall China export container shipping market was stable, with freight rates on different routes diverging due to supply - demand fundamentals. The composite index declined slightly. In October, China's exports decreased by 1.1% year - on - year in US dollars, with the growth rate slowing compared to September. In the first 10 months of 2025, China's exports showed a stable growth trend. On November 7, the Shanghai Export Containerized Freight Index (SCFI) was 1495.10 points, down 3.6% from the previous period. - In the European route, the eurozone's composite PMI in October reached 52.5, better than expected.

On November 7, the freight rate from Shanghai Port to basic European ports was $1323 per twenty - foot equivalent unit (TEU), down 1.6% from the previous period. - In the Mediterranean route, the market situation was similar to that of the European route, with slightly better supply - demand fundamentals and a slight increase in spot booking prices. On November 7, the freight rate from Shanghai Port to basic Mediterranean ports was $2029 per TEU, up 2.3% from the previous period. - In the North American route, the US government shutdown has lasted for 36 days, which may cause greater economic damage.

On November 7, the freight rates from Shanghai Port to basic ports in the US West and East were $2212 per FEU and $2848 per FEU respectively, down 16.4% and 17.2% from the previous period. - The situation in northern Israel is tense.

Egypt proposed a new plan, asking Hamas to provide information on tunnels to be destroyed in exchange for allowing 200 Hamas militants in the Rafah tunnels to return to the Hamas - controlled area with weapons. Israel has not responded to this plan [9][10]. 4.3 Data Overview 4.3.1 Spot Freight Rates for Container Shipping - The SCFIS for the European route (basic ports) on November 10, 2025, was 1504.8, up 24.5% from 1208.71 on November 3.
