Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The 12 - contract follows the delivery logic with little deviation and low positions. MSK lowered the freight rate for the last week to $2300, weaker than the previous flat - expected view, but the PA remained relatively firm at $2400 in the second half of the month [3]. - The 02 - contract has a moderately high valuation, showing short - term sideways movement. In the future, the driving force is upward due to strong and recovering cargo volume. Historically, the freight rate peaks usually occur 4 - 5 weeks before the Spring Festival (corresponding to mid - to late January 2026), but the high capacity in January 2026 may suppress the peak. It is recommended to wait and see at the current valuation [3]. - The short - term downside space of the 04 - contract is small. Attention should be paid to the short - selling opportunities on rallies that may occur when the 04 - contract follows the near - month contract's rise [3]. 3.
