Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. Core Viewpoints - The US tariff - adding policy has significantly changed the US - bound shipping routes. Some shipping capacity from the US - bound routes has overflowed to the European and Mediterranean routes. If more ships from the US - bound routes are diverted to the European routes, the freight rates of the European routes will face pressure. Attention should be paid to the shipping companies' capacity adjustment. [4] - It is necessary to closely monitor the possibility of Sino - US negotiations. If the two sides negotiate and reduce some export tariffs on Chinese goods, there may be an opportunity for supply - demand mismatch on the US routes, which will have a positive impact on the European routes. Due to the frequent adjustment of tariff policies and high uncertainty, arbitrage is recommended for recent operations. [4] - The 06 contract still faces a weak reality, while the 08 contract faces a game between weak reality and price - increase expectations. If the US - bound cargo volume remains low, more ships may be diverted from the US - bound routes to the European routes in June. [3] Summary by Directory 1. Futures Price - As of May 7, 2025, the total open interest of all contracts of the European container shipping index futures was 101,044.00 lots, and the single - day trading volume was 108,379.00 lots.
