Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report 2. Core View - The EC spot - futures market is in a game situation intertwined with policies and geopolitical factors, showing a differentiation feature of short - term sentiment - driven and long - term fundamental support. The market has not formed a clear trend yet. Short - term trends are dominated by policy news and sentiment, while long - term trends depend on the global foreign trade recovery rhythm, capacity adjustment, and substantial improvement in terminal demand [8] 3. Summary by Related Content 3.1 Shipping Freight Index - The current values of Shanghai Export Containerized Freight Index (SCFI), China Containerized Freight Index (CCFI), SCFI - US West, SCFIS - US West, SCFI - US East, SCFI - Northwest Europe, SCFIS - Northwest Europe, and SCFI - Mediterranean are 1458, 1209, 2084, 1294, 2896, 1595, 1859, and 2756 respectively. The previous values are 1574, 1210, 2194, 1305, 3163, 1676, 1954, and 2983 respectively. The corresponding percentage changes are - 7.39%, - 0.09%, - 5.01%, - 0.84%, - 8.44%, - 4.83%, - 4.86%, and - 7.61% respectively [5] 3.2 Shipping Schedule - For CMA CGM's shipping schedules, on the European line FAL1, the last east - bound return ship passing through the Suez Canal is CMA CGM BENJAMIN FRANKLIN (expected to pass on February 1st with OMIT detour), and the first ship to resume east - bound return through the Suez Canal on April 6th is CMA CGM VASCO DE GAMA, corresponding to the Ocean Alliance's new annual Day10 route plan starting from April. On the European line FAL3, the last east - bound return ship is CMA CGM SEINE (expected to pass on January 25th) with no resumption plan. On the Mediterranean line MEX, the last east - bound return ship is CMA CGM GRACE BAY (expected to pass on January 22nd) with no resumption plan [5][6] 3.3 Market News - The additional tariffs on eight European countries are temporarily not imposed. US President Trump is preparing to hold a "Peace Committee Charter Signing Ceremony" during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, marking the mechanism's transition from concept to public launch [6] 3.4 Spot Price - The current 40 - foot container freight rates on the European line are as follows: GEMINI Alliance's Maersk quotes $2430 in Week 5, Hapag - Lloyd quotes $2300 - $2500; OA Alliance quotes about $2500 - $2650, CMA CGM quotes $2793, and others are around $2600; PA Alliance quotes about $2400, Yang Ming quotes as low as $2200 - $2435; MSC quotes $2640. In the next one or two weeks (end of January - early February), Maersk's Week 6 opening price drops to $2000 - $2100, Hapag - Lloyd maintains $2300 - $2500, OA Alliance may slightly drop to around $2500, PA Alliance may fluctuate in the range of $2200 - $2400, and MSC may slightly adjust downward with the market, showing a pre - holiday decline due to the pre - Spring Festival cargo volume vacuum period [7] 3.5 Market Analysis - The futures market is initially pushed up by short - term sentiment but then corrects due to weakened spot support and calmed sentiment. The far - month contracts are more resilient. The spot market is in a balance between shipping companies' price adjustments and supply - demand games. Some shipping companies lower short - term prices to compete for cargo volume. The market is affected by three variables: short - term rush - shipping expectations from photovoltaic export tax - rebate policy adjustments, Red Sea resumption expectations from geopolitical easing, and the differentiated economic recovery in the Eurozone [8] 3.6 Strategy - The cost - effectiveness of short - term shorting is reduced. Pay attention to shorting on rallies during the off - season [9]

集运指数(欧线):现货加速下跌、地缘反复,暂时震荡市
Guo Tai Jun An Qi Huo· 2026-01-21 01:50
Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating Not provided in the given content. 2. Core View of the Report The container shipping index (European route) is currently in a temporary consolidation phase, influenced by factors such as the accelerating decline of spot prices and the uncertainty in geopolitical situations. The market is affected by different factors in terms of supply (capacity), demand, and geopolitical risks, leading to different outlooks for various contracts. [1][10][11] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalog 3.1 Market Performance - Yesterday, the container shipping index (European route) showed weak consolidation. The main contract 2604 closed at 1112.6 points, with a 77 - hand reduction in positions and a decline of 1.44%. The secondary main contract 2606 closed at 1317.4 points, with a 273 - hand reduction in positions and a decline of 0.33%. [1][9] 3.2 Capacity Analysis - The shipping schedules on the AEU7 and FE4 routes at the end of January were generally delayed. After adjustment, the capacity statistics for the 5th week (1/26 - 2/1) increased by 2 blank sailings, and the capacity statistics for February (2/2 - 3/1) decreased by 2 blank sailings. Overall, the capacity from 1/26 - 3/1 remained unchanged. In March, there were 8 blank sailings and 1 pending sailing. The weekly average capacity was revised up from 28.4 to 29.5 TEU/week, a year - on - year increase of 9.5% and a month - on - month increase of 5.2%. [10] - The Spring Festival suspension of shipping was mainly concentrated from the end of February to the first week of March. The average capacities before, during, and after the Spring Festival in 2026 were 30.6, 23.4, and 32.2 TEU, with year - on - year growth rates of - 0.1%, 9.1%, and 26.3% respectively. The capacity pressure after the festival was relatively higher. [10] 3.3 Geopolitical Situation - The instability in Iran has increased, and the geopolitical risks in the Middle East may fluctuate. Maersk announced that its independently operated MECL route connecting the East Coast of the United States and India/Middle East will resume structural operations at the end of January and has prepared contingency plans. After the market closed yesterday, CMA CGM decided to divert east - bound vessels on the FAL1, FAL3, and MEX routes around the Cape of Good Hope instead of passing through the Suez Canal. [11] 3.4 Demand Side - On January 8, 2026, China adjusted the export VAT rebate policy. The export rebate for photovoltaic products will be completely cancelled from April 1, 2026, and the export rebate for battery products will be reduced from 9% to 6% from April 1 to December 31, 2026, and completely cancelled from January 1, 2027. This may lead to 2 - 5 TEU of transportation demand for European routes and 4 - 7 TEU for European - Mediterranean routes being advanced from Q2 to Q1. The concentrated rush for shipping is expected to occur from late February to March. However, it is unlikely to change the oversupply situation in March. [12] 3.5 Spot Freight Rates - The FAK average in the 4th week may be around $2600/FEU. The Maersk's European base container prices in the 5th and 6th weeks decreased by about $700/FEU in total. Different alliances and shipping companies also had varying degrees of price adjustments. [13] 3.6 Contract Analysis - For the 2602 contract, the valuation may be around 1700 points, and it is expected to have narrow - range position - reducing fluctuations in the future. - For the 2604 contract, although there is a marginal positive impact from the rush of photovoltaic and battery product shipments in the first quarter, it cannot reverse the weak supply - demand balance in the off - season from March to April. It is recommended to consider rolling short positions in the next 1 - 2 months, with the upper pressure level in the range of 1200 - 1250 points. - For the 2606 contract, the short - term influencing factor is the resumption rhythm. If it fails to resume in June, it may be a relatively good long - position contract. It may have a small premium in the short - term and remain in a consolidation phase in the medium - term. It should be treated with a wide - range consolidation strategy. - For the 2610 contract, the upper pressure level refers to the settlement price of 1161 points for the 2510 contract. Short positions can be held as appropriate, and attention should be paid to the peace negotiations in Gaza and the geopolitical situation in Iran. [14][15] 3.7 Trend Intensity The trend intensity of the container shipping index (European route) is 0, indicating a neutral position. [15]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - MSC's online prices in February remain the same as in January, and the focus is on Maersk's WEEK6 quotation. The SCFIS at the beginning of February is an important point of contention for the settlement price of the February contract. The cargo volume in December and January is at a relatively high level within the year. The delivery of ultra-large vessels in 2026 has relatively less pressure, while the annual delivery volume of vessels over 17,000 TEU in 2027, 2028, and 2029 exceeds 40 ships. The cancellation of the VAT export tax rebate policy for photovoltaic products may disrupt the off - season nature of the 04 contract, and the volatility of the 04 contract is expected to increase. Maersk's attempt to resume navigation through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal will affect the expectations of more distant - month contracts. The 2 - month contract is expected to fluctuate, and the 4 - month contract is driven by a bearish trend [1][2][3][4][6]. 3. Summary According to the Directory I. Futures Price - As of January 19, 2026, the total open interest of all contracts of the container shipping index (European route) futures is 62,201.00 lots, and the daily trading volume is 36,458.00 lots.

Spot Price - Online quotations from different shipping alliances are provided, including the prices of Maersk, HPL, MSC, ONE, HMM, CMA, EMC, and OOCL for different time periods from Shanghai to Rotterdam.

The SCFIS (Shanghai - Europe) on January 19 is 1954.19 points, and the SCFIS (Shanghai - US West) is 1305.27 points [1][7]. III. Container Ship Capacity Supply - **Static Supply**: As of December 31, 2025, 268 container ships have been delivered in 2025, with a total capacity of 2.155 million TEU. For 12,000 - 16,999 TEU ships, 80 ships have been delivered with a total capacity of 1.213 million TEU; for ships over 17,000 TEU, 13 ships have been delivered with a total capacity of 277,672 TEU. The expected delivery of 12,000 - 16,999 TEU ships from 2026 - 2029 is 781,200 TEU (53 ships), 944,500 TEU (64 ships), 1.212 million TEU (82 ships), and 415,400 TEU (29 ships) respectively. The expected delivery of ships over 17,000 TEU from 2026 - 2029 is 210,400 TEU (9 ships), 862,800 TEU (40 ships), 1.5734 million TEU (78 ships), and 1.3755 million TEU (67 ships) respectively [2][3]. - **Dynamic Supply**: The average weekly capacity in January is 342,200 TEU, with the capacities in WEEK4 and WEEK5 being 408,600 TEU and 275,800 TEU respectively. The average weekly capacity in February is 273,700 TEU, and the capacities in WEEK6, WEEK7, WEEK8, and WEEK9 are 255,800 TEU, 325,200 TEU, 292,100 TEU, and 221,800 TEU respectively. The average weekly capacity in March is 289,700 TEU. There are 2 TBNs and 8 blank sailings in February and 5 blank sailings and 3 TBNs in March [3]. IV.

集运指数(欧线):暂时震荡市
Guo Tai Jun An Qi Huo· 2026-01-20 01:45
1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content. 2. Core View of the Report - The集运指数(欧线)is in a temporary volatile market. Although the first quarter has marginal positive factors from the rush - shipping of photovoltaic and battery products, it cannot reverse the weak supply - demand balance in the off - season of the European line from March to April. Different strategies are recommended for different contracts, such as rolling short - selling for the 2604 contract, and treating the 2606 contract as a wide - range volatile market [10][11][13][15]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Fundamentals Tracking - **Futures Data**: The 2604 contract of the集运指数(欧线)closed at 1132.2 points yesterday, down 1.77% with a reduction of 744 lots in positions; the 2606 contract closed at 1318.0 points, down 2.33% with an increase of 420 lots in positions [10]. - **Spot Freight Rates**: The average FAK in the 4th week may be around $2600/FEU. Different shipping companies and alliances have different price trends, with most showing a downward or stable - to - downward trend [14]. 3.2 Capacity Side - **Capacity Adjustment**: The shipping schedules of the AEU7 and FE4 routes at the end of January are generally delayed. The capacity statistics in the 5th week (1/26 - 2/1) increased by 2 blank sailings, and the capacity statistics in February (2/2 - 3/1) decreased by 2 blank sailings. The weekly average capacity in March was revised up from 28.4 to 29.5 million TEU/week, a year - on - year increase of 9.5% and a month - on - month increase of 5.2% [11]. - **Capacity Distribution around Spring Festival**: The Spring Festival suspension of shipping is mainly concentrated from the end of February to the first week of March. The average capacity before, during, and after the Spring Festival in 2026 is 30.6, 23.4, and 32.2 million TEU/week respectively, with year - on - year growth rates of - 0.1%, 9.1%, and 26.3% respectively, indicating greater capacity pressure after the festival [11]. 3.3 Geopolitical Side - The unstable situation in Iran has risen, and the geopolitical risks in the Middle East may fluctuate. Maersk announced that its independently operated MECL route connecting the US East and India/Middle East will resume structural operations at the end of January and has prepared contingency plans [12]. 3.4 Demand Side - **Policy Impact**: The adjustment of export VAT rebate policies for photovoltaic and battery products may lead to 2 - 5 million TEU of transportation demand for the European line and 4 - 7 million TEU for the Europe - Mediterranean route being advanced from Q2 to Q1. The concentrated rush - shipping may occur from the end of February to March [13]. - **Loading Rate Concern**: The capacity level from February 23 to March 8 is relatively low, with an average of 20.1 million TEU/week. Attention should be paid to the loading rate during these two weeks. The probability of full - load and shipping companies announcing a GRI increase on March 1 is low, and it is difficult to change the over - capacity pattern in March [13]. 3.5 Contract Strategies - **2602 Contract**: The valuation may be around 1700 points. It is expected to have narrow - range, position - reducing fluctuations in the future [15]. - **2604 Contract**: Although there are marginal positive factors in the first quarter, the weak supply - demand balance in the off - season cannot be reversed. It can be considered for rolling short - selling in the next 1 - 2 months, with the upper pressure level in the range of 1200 - 1250 points [15]. - **2606 Contract**: It is expected to maintain a wide - range volatile trend, and the trading strategy should be based on this wide - range volatility [15]. - **2610 Contract**: Short positions can be held as appropriate, and attention should be paid to the progress of the Gaza peace negotiation and the geopolitical situation in Iran [16]. 3.6 Trend Intensity - The trend intensity of the集运指数(欧线)is 0, indicating a neutral trend [17].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Group 2: Core View of the Report - The container shipping index (European Line) is expected to oscillate weakly. The 2602 contract is recommended for observation, the 2604 contract can consider rolling short positions, and the 2610 contract should hold short positions lightly and short on rallies in the medium - to - long - term. The trend strength of the container shipping index (European Line) is -1 [11][15]. Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalog 1.

Trump is closely monitoring the situation in Iran and keeping all options open. Maersk's MECL route will resume structural operation at the end of January and has a contingency plan [13]. 5. Demand Analysis - In January, most shipping companies felt that the BCO/NVO cargo volume was good, but the FAK side was average. The peak of cargo volume usually occurs around mid - January and then declines. The Ministry of Finance's tax - refund policy adjustment is expected to boost the overall demand for container shipping (European Line) from January to March and have a negative impact on demand after April [14]. 6. Spot Freight Forecast - It is expected that the average FAK from the 3rd to 4th week will be adjusted down to the range of $2600 - 2670/FEU, which will set the first - phase delivery settlement price of the 2602 contract on January 26 [14]. 7. Strategy Suggestions - For the 2602 contract, the valuation center may fall in the range of 1700 - 1750 points, and it is recommended to wait and see. For the 2604 contract, although there is a marginal benefit of the rush - shipping of photovoltaic and battery products in the first quarter, it cannot reverse the weak supply - demand balance in the off - season from March to April, and it can consider rolling short positions, with the upper pressure level referring to the range of 1200 - 1250 points. For the 2610 contract, hold short positions lightly and short on rallies in the medium - to - long - term, with the upper pressure level referring to the delivery settlement price of 1161 points of the 2510 contract [15].
