Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core View - The shipping market is in a state of weak oscillation. The main reason is that Maersk's freight rate at the end of August dropped to 2200, a decrease of 400 from last week, exceeding market expectations. The spot freight rate has peaked, and the subsequent focus is on the decline slope until the end of October. The freight rate on the European route is under pressure, and it is expected to break through 2000 in September [6][7]. 3. Summary by Relevant Contents Shipping Freight Index - **Current and Previous Values and Changes**: The Shanghai Export Container Freight Composite Index (SCEI) is currently at 1490, down 3.94% from the previous value of 1551; the China Export Container Freight Index (CCFI) is at 1201, down 2.59% from 1233.

Three Chinese small - market carriers will offer several voyages on this route in late summer 2025. The latest Global Port Tracker (GPT) report shows that US imports in the last four months of 2025 will decline significantly year - on - year [5]. Strategy - The recommended strategy is to short the October contract on rallies (take profit gradually as it has pulled back recently) and hold the 12 - 4 calendar spread [8].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - There is no information about the report industry investment rating in the provided content. Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The market is in a state of shock, mainly due to the increase in over - capacity during the off - season caused by overtime ships, leading to a lower opening of the main contract [6]. - Spot prices have peaked. Quotes started to weaken in early August, and this will drive prices in late August to decline. It is expected that spot prices will peak at the end of July and early August, then slowly decline until late August when the decline rate will intensify. The main focus of the 10 - contract is the decline rate of freight rates from August to October [7]. - The recommended strategy is to short the 10 - contract on rallies (profits can be taken as there has been a significant recent correction), and hold the 12 - 4 calendar spread [8].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Views - The main reasons for the significant increase in the 10 and far - month contracts are the change of the main contract from 2508 to 2510, better - than - expected spot market and European port congestion, and some assistance from geopolitical factors. The current situation of European routes is stable reality and weak expectation. After the repair of deep discount on the disk, investors should not chase high. The recommended strategy is to short 10 contracts on rallies and hold the 12 - 4 calendar spread [10][11][12]. 3. Summary by Relevant Content Shipping Derivatives Data - **Container Freight Index**: The Shanghai Export Container Freight Index (SCFI) stood at 1733, down 1.71% from the previous value; the China Export Container Freight Index (CCFI) was 1314, down 2.18%.

Israel will propose a new map plan next Monday [4]. - **Shipping Market News**: MSK opened bookings for wk31 at a flat price of 3000. Some 0A ships' offline sailings can guarantee cabins, have long - free timeliness, and allow for off - site container returns at the destination port. MSK has some single - point cabin space on European routes. For PA7 at the end of the month, some special - price cabins for matching goods still need to be booked in advance, and the overall cabin space at the end of the month is abundant. European port congestion has not been alleviated due to factors such as labor shortages, strikes at the Port of Antwerp, low Rhine River water levels, and increased risks in the Red Sea route [5][6][7][8]. EC Market - **Market Review**: The market declined. The EC2510 contract rose by more than 16% again yesterday, with a cumulative increase of more than 20% in two days [9]. - **Reasons for the Increase**: The main reasons for the significant increase in the 10 and far - month contracts are the change of the main contract, better - than - expected spot market and European port congestion, and some assistance from geopolitical factors [10][11]. - **Outlook and Strategy**: There may still be a rush to ship in July. The current situation of European routes is stable reality and weak expectation. The spot market is expected to enter an arc - top trend from late July to early August. The recommended strategy is to short 10 contracts on rallies and hold the 12 - 4 calendar spread [11][12].

EC Market Analysis Overview - The market is in a volatile state [8]. Spot Market - The central price in the second week of July is about 3200 (ranging from 2900 - 3600). Maersk's price remained flat in the third week, higher than the expected decline [9]. - There is a market differentiation. Some OCEAN Alliance routes have strong quotes, and the PA Alliance plans to raise prices later this month, but some shipping companies report reduced inventory [9]. - From IPL quotes, there is sufficient cabin space, and shipping companies are still trying to attract cargo [9]. Futures Market - Affected by Maersk's flat price, contract 2508 has recovered from a deep discount, but the probability of continuous rise is low, and it will mainly fluctuate [10]. Strategy - Hold the 12 - 4 calendar spread and consider the 8 - 10 calendar spread. Due to less shipping capacity in weeks 28 and 30, Maersk's strong performance in week 3 of July, and expected European congestion, contract 08 may outperform contract 10 [10].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current EC08 contract on the trading board is at a discount to the spot price, and attention should be paid to the potential logic of Scenario 2. This year, the European route trading is prone to a cycle of "front - running - logic reinforcement - losses". It is recommended to value the "error - tolerance" space of far - month contracts, formulate far - month positive spread strategies based on historical delivery data, and avoid over - relying on short - term sentiment. [9] - The trading on the board returns to fundamental drivers, with trading centered around the expectation of the peak season transitioning to the off - season. As the end of the tariff suspension period approaches, some airlines expect to raise prices in late July. [9][10] - Hold the 12 - 4 positive spread strategy. [11] 3.

For example, EC2508 is currently at 1904.9, up 8.15% from the previous value. [4] - **Open Interest**: The current open interest and its changes for contracts like EC2606, EC2508, etc. are given. For instance, the current open interest of EC2508 is 40476, an increase of 1248 from the previous value. [4] - **Monthly Spread**: The current monthly spreads (10 - 12, 12 - 2, 12 - 4) and their changes are presented. For example, the 10 - 12 monthly spread is currently 521.1, up 98.7 from the previous value. [4] Market News - After the JOLTS data was released, traders slightly reduced the expected magnitude of the Fed's interest rate cuts, expecting the cuts to start in September, with a 21% probability of a cut in July. [5] - The White House stated that Trump may extend the 90 - day tariff suspension period in July. Trump plans to visit China with dozens of CEOs. Fed Chairman Powell said that a "substantial majority" of Fed members expect to cut interest rates later this year. [6] - According to the Financial Times, Trump's tariff policy and falling river levels have led to the worst supply - chain congestion in European ports since the pandemic, especially in Rotterdam, Antwerp, and Hamburg, and the congestion is expected to last for at least several months. [7] - Iran's ambassador to the UN stated that Tehran "will never stop" uranium - enrichment activities, emphasizing it as an inalienable right and national sovereignty under the NPT. [7] Market Conditions and Strategies for EC Contracts - **Market Conditions**: The spot freight rates have been rising this week. The quotes for European basic ports in late June are 2,800 - 3,200 US dollars per 40 - foot container, and the upward trend is expected to continue until mid - July. For the 7 - 8 month European route freight rates, there are three scenarios: a collapse - style decline if a large amount of US - bound capacity shifts to the European route; an "arc - top" trend if shipping companies control capacity; and global capacity misallocation due to unexpected factors. [8] - **Trading Strategies**: Given that the EC08 contract on the board is at a discount to the spot price, attention should be paid to the potential logic of Scenario 2. It is recommended to formulate far - month positive spread strategies based on historical delivery data and hold the 12 - 4 positive spread. [9][11]

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core View - The market is in a state of oscillation. Spot prices are showing an upward trend, with shipping companies gradually increasing their quotes. The forward freight rates in Europe continue to rise, and it is expected that the upward trend will continue until mid - to late July. The freight rates on the US route in the futures market declined last week, while the European route did not follow the decline due to its own peak - season pattern. For the European route freight rates from July to August, there are three possible scenarios: the spill - over of US route capacity, shipping companies controlling capacity to stabilize prices, and interference from unexpected factors. In terms of trading strategies, attention should be paid to the potential logic of the second scenario, and a far - month positive spread strategy should be formulated with reference to historical delivery data [8][9]. 3. Key Points by Section Freight Index Data - **Spot Freight Index**: The current values of the Shanghai Export Containerized Freight Index (SCFI) and the China Export Containerized Freight Index (CCFI) are 1870 and 1342 respectively, with the former down 10.47% and the latter up 8.00% compared to the previous values. The freight rates on different routes also show different trends, such as a significant decline on the US West and US East routes, and an increase on the European routes [4]. - **Forward Freight Index**: The current values of different forward contracts (e.g., EC2506, EC2508) show fluctuations, with some contracts down and some up compared to the previous values. The positions of different contracts also change, with some increasing and some decreasing [4]. - **Month - to - Month Spread**: The current values of the 10 - 12, 12 - 2, and 12 - 4 month - to - month spreads are 505.0, - 160.1, and 320.3 respectively, with corresponding changes compared to the previous values [4]. Spot Market - In late June, leading airlines are eager to raise prices. The offline quotes of COSCO, CMA, ONE, MSC, Maersk, and HPL are different, and the European base - port quotes in late June have reached 2,800 - 3,200 US dollars/40 - foot container, with the upward trend expected to continue until mid - to late July. The July quotes of different shipping companies are also different, and Maersk has adjusted the freight rate to Rotterdam in early July [8]. Futures Market - Last week, the freight rates on the US route in the futures market declined, while the European route did not follow the decline due to its peak - season pattern. The European route futures show a "front - running" characteristic, and there are three scenarios for the European route freight rates from July to August [8]. Trading Strategy - Currently, the ECO8 futures price is at a discount to the spot price. Attention should be paid to the potential logic of the second scenario. A far - month positive spread strategy should be formulated with reference to historical delivery data, and the 12 - 4 positive spread should be held [9][10].

For example, COSCO's offline quote is 4200, CMA's is 4250, ONE's is 3000, MSC plans to raise prices to 3900 (offline 3250), Maersk's opening price from Shanghai to London is 2800 (to Rotterdam is 2820), and HPL's is 3500 [10] - **Current Week's Freight Rates**: Spot freight rates have been rising this week. Quotes for European base ports in late June have reached $2,800 - 3,200 per 40 - foot container, and the upward trend is expected to continue until mid - to - late July. The increase in spot freight rates is expected to intensify logistics chain pressure in late June and drive up the booking rate of long - term contracts. Shipping companies are tightening the policy of releasing low - price contracts [10] - **Early - July Quotes**: MSK quotes 3400 for July, HPL quotes 4350, CMA quotes 4650, and ONE quotes 4000 [10] Futures Market - **Market Trend**: The market is in a volatile state [9] - **Influence of Geopolitical Conflicts**: Geopolitical conflicts, although having a limited direct impact on supply and demand, have triggered a chain reaction that has become an important driving force for the increase in container shipping market freight rates, such as the rise in marine fuel oil costs and insurance premiums. Airlines will take advantage of this to try to raise freight rates in July. The most important factor for the European route is that the full resumption time of alliance shipping companies has been further postponed, and the sentiment from August to December will be most positively affected [10] Group 4: Strategy - Hold the 12 - 4 calendar spread [11]
