Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The geopolitical situation has deteriorated, the effective shipping capacity has rapidly shrunk, Trump's tariff war has resurfaced, and the cancellation of photovoltaic tax refunds in April has forced shipments and stockpiling in March. These factors support the futures price of the Container Shipping Index (European Line). In the short term, the supply - demand pattern has shifted from slack in the off - season to tight balance, strengthening the shipping companies' bargaining power [1]. - If the US - Iran situation further deteriorates and the Strait of Hormuz remains blocked, the freight rate index is expected to continue rising. In the medium term, if the blockade is lifted, oil prices will fall, shipping capacity will recover, and freight rates will gradually return to the off - season fundamentals, with the increase being reversed. However, affected by panic and避险情绪, the freight rate is expected to be higher than the pre - blockade level. Investors are advised to be cautious, pay attention to the operation rhythm and risk control, and timely track shipping company quotes and cargo volume data, as well as the persistence of the US - Iran conflict and the progress of the subsequent Iranian regime transition [1]. 3.

Industry News - Trump said a nuclear - armed Iran is unacceptable to the US, and the US will continue large - scale military operations in Iran, which may last 4 - 5 weeks. He may lift sanctions if Iran's next leader is pragmatic. Iran's top security official said they won't negotiate with the US [1]. - Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps advisor said the Strait of Hormuz has been closed, and Iran will attack ships passing through. Goldman Sachs estimates that European natural gas may rise 130% and oil prices may rise $18 per barrel, equivalent to a 6 - week Strait of Hormuz blockade. JPMorgan analysts said if the strait is fully closed due to Middle - East conflicts, Middle - East oil - producing countries can only continue production for "at most 25 days" [1]. - After the US Supreme Court overturned most of Trump's tariffs, the federal appellate court rejected the government's request to postpone the subsequent steps of the tariff refund dispute. More than $175 billion in illegally imposed tariffs will enter the refund process [1]. Market Impact - The futures price of the Container Shipping Index (European Line) continued to hit the daily limit on Tuesday. Geopolitical tensions have increased shipping operating costs. MSC has raised the price of large containers to $3200 in the second half of the month, a $200 increase from the first half. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has led shipping companies to immediately raise prices on Middle - East routes by $1000 - $1500, which may quickly be reflected in spot quotes [1]. - Trump has imposed a 10% ad - valorem import tariff on imported goods to the US for 150 days starting from February 24, and later said he would raise it to 15%, increasing trade costs [1]. - The ECB has maintained interest rates unchanged. With inflation stabilizing and economic data improving, the market expects the ECB to continue its wait - and - see stance [1].
