The freight rate in late November will determine the implementation degree of the price - holding in December. It is expected to mainly follow the changes in spot prices and the rhythm of shipping companies' price announcements in the future [2]. - EC2602: Its valuation is more difficult to anchor. In the short term, it is expected to mainly follow the trend of EC2512. If the peak - season cargo - booking situation is gradually realized in the future, it may have more room for growth. The peak freight rate usually occurs 4 - 5 weeks before the Spring Festival (mid - January next year) [3]. - EC2604: It is a off - season contract. In the short term, it will maintain a narrow - range oscillation in the peak - season logic. Considering the expected greater supply pressure next year and the off - season in April, a short - selling strategy on rallies is recommended [3]. 4.

It is expected that the quotes of other shipping companies will be gradually lowered this week, and they may also announce a price increase for December [4]. - In week 47, the offline PA price was around 2000 dollars, OA was 2200 - 2400 dollars, and MSK was 2000 dollars. OOCL lowered the online price for November by 300 dollars to 2600 dollars [4]. - On Tuesday, MSK opened the booking for week 48 at 1900 - 2000 dollars, equivalent to 1340 - 1400 dollars on the futures [4]. 5.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content found Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The concerns about the shipping companies' quotes falling short of expectations in the second half of November still exist, and the peak season height in the future may be limited. The EC futures market continued to fluctuate in a callback.

The shipping companies' long - term cargo has improved, but the upward momentum in the second half of November has weakened. The demand from November to December is expected to gradually improve, and the supply of shipping capacity in December is relatively sufficient. Attention should be paid to the shipping companies' schedule adjustment plans, cargo - collection performance, and the impact of the Spring Festival holiday arrangement on the EC2602 contract valuation [6][7] - **Trading Strategy**: For unilateral trading, the market has factored in the peak - season expectations in advance, and there are still concerns about the expectations not being met in November. It is expected to fluctuate bearishly in the short term, so it is recommended to wait and see.

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints of the Report - The improvement in Sino-US tariff situation meets the daily report's rebound expectation, but it is not recommended to increase positions. Instead, partial profit-taking can be considered, and attention should be paid to the freight rates in November [1] - The tariff issue has shown a marginal effect, and the current core is the trend of spot freight rates. The main contract may be in the process of bottoming out, and it is recommended to participate with a light position or wait and see [3] - Although the mutual reduction of Sino-US tariffs is beneficial to the market to some extent, the freight rates in November may not reach the previously announced increase, suppressing the upward movement of the market. Under the game between long and short positions, the market is generally in a weak and volatile state. Attention should be paid to tariff policies, the Middle East situation, and spot freight rates [3] Summary According to Related Catalogs SCFIS, NCFI Freight Rate Index - On October 27, the Shanghai Export Container Settlement Freight Rate Index (SCFIS) for the European route was 1312.71 points, a 15.1% increase from the previous period; the SCFIS for the US West route was 1107.32 points, a 28.2% increase from the previous period [2] - On October 31, the Ningbo Export Container Freight Rate Index (NCFI) (composite index) was 1100.32 points, a 12.60% increase from the previous period; the NCFI for the European route was 965.62 points, a 17.43% increase from the previous period; the NCFI for the US West route was 1452.82 points, a 12.30% increase from the previous period [2] - On October 31, the Shanghai Export Container Freight Rate Index (SCFI) announced price was 1550.70 points, a 147.24-point increase from the previous period; the SCFI European route price was 1344 USD/TEU, a 7.87% increase from the previous period; the SCFI US West route was 2647 USD/FEU, a 22.94% increase from the previous period [2] - On October 31, the China Export Container Freight Rate Index (CCFI) (composite index) was 1021.39 points, a 2.9% increase from the previous period; the CCFI for the European route was 1323.81 points, a 2.4% increase from the previous period; the CCFI for the US West route was 772.67 points, a 4.9% increase from the previous period [2] Economic Data - In October, the Manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) was 49.0%, a 0.8-percentage-point decrease from the previous month, indicating a decline in the manufacturing prosperity level.
