The EC market is in a weak oscillation. The spot freight rate is at the top - falling stage. The export tax - rebate - driven rush shipment may delay the decline but is hard to reverse it [6] - The spot freight rate inflection point has emerged. MSK's WK6 Shanghai - Rotterdam quote dropped by $400/HC compared to last week. The demand is reaching a peak and then declining, and the supply has little change in the short term. The traditional off - season is from February to March, but the upcoming cancellation of export tax - rebate policy may lead to a rush shipment [6][7] - CMA decided to divert ships on some routes via the Cape of Good Hope due to geopolitical instability, which is expected to repair the backwardation of far - month contracts [6][7] Trading Strategy - Single - side: It is recommended to wait and see for the 04 contract due to many short - term disturbances and uncertainties in the rush - shipment strength. The far - month contracts are expected to repair the backwardation [9] - Arbitrage: Hold the 6 - 10 calendar spread long position [9] Group 4: Industry News - There are various geopolitical news, including issues related to Greenland, the US President's hope for a Gaza agreement, Israel - Iran relations, and the non - attendance of the Iranian Foreign Minister at the Davos Forum [10][11][13]
