Group 1: Investment Rating - There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report. Group 2: Core Views - The conflict in the Middle East has affected the passage of the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea. If the conflict persists, it may impact the supply - demand pattern of the Middle East and Europe - Mediterranean routes and drive up spot freight rates. In the container shipping market, short - term trading can adopt a long - on - dips strategy, and arbitrage should be on the sidelines [9][11][12]. - In the dry bulk shipping market, the small and medium - sized ship market is active, and the spot freight rate is expected to continue to rise. However, the upward movement of the Capesize ship type may be restricted. The geopolitical situation in the Middle East may disrupt regional trade and increase operating costs [23]. - In the carbon emission market, the domestic carbon market is dominated by sporadic large - scale transactions with limited activity. In the short term, carbon prices may be supported, but the increase may be limited. In the long term, the carbon price center in 2026 is expected to be higher than in 2025. The EU carbon market is in a structurally tight pattern, but the carbon price is in a low - level shock due to policy uncertainty [36][39].
