Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The current valuation of the 02 contract is high, and future performance depends on spot cargo trends. Short - term sentiment is positive due to spot improvement, but it's difficult to predict the peak height and time of January freight rates and subsequent price - drop rhythms. It's not recommended to enter the market at the current level [3]. - The valuation of the 04 contract is moderately high. It may follow the spot market or recover the basis in the short term. Attention should be paid to short - selling opportunities [3]. - Far - month contracts are greatly affected by geopolitical factors. Short - selling off - season contracts is safer than short - or long - selling peak - season contracts. An overall positive spread strategy should be adopted, and attention should be paid to short - selling opportunities for the 10 contract [3]. 3.
