1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided 2. Core View of the Report - The shipping industry shows a mixed trend. The freight index has different changes, and the spot price of shipping has price differentiation. The adjustment of the export tax - rebate policy for photovoltaic products will lead to a short - term rush of shipments on the European line and a subsequent decline in export volume, which will affect shipping demand and freight rates. The recommended strategy is to wait and see [4][6][7] 3. Summary by Related Content Freight Index Section - The present 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 are 1647, 1195, 2218, 1323, 3128, 1719 respectively, with changes of - 0.54%, 4.21%, 1.37%, 5.84%, 3.13%, 1.72% compared to the previous values. The present values of SCFIS - Northwest Europe and SCFI - Mediterranean are 1956 and 3232, with changes of 8.97% and 2.83% compared to the previous values [4] Market News Section - The US Supreme Court has set Friday as the "judgment day" to rule on President Donald Trump's global tariff policy. Maersk will gradually resume east - west shipping through the Suez Canal and the Red Sea, and the Maersk Denver successfully passed the Bab el - Mandeb Strait and entered the Red Sea on January 11 - 12 [5] Spot Price Section - For the GEMINI, Maersk's quotes in the fourth week of January are differentiated. The Shanghai - Rotterdam quote is $2700/FEU (up $100 month - on - month), while quotes from Ningbo - Rotterdam and Shanghai - Gdansk dropped to $2400/FEU. Hapag - Lloyd's quote center fell to $2300 - 2700/FEU. For the OA, the quotes in the first half of January loosened, and EMC's quote from January 16 - 22 was $2800 - 2950/FEU. For the PA, YML's quote from January 16 - 22 was $2600/FEU. MSC's quote in the second half of January was $2840/FEU, the same as in the first half [6] Photovoltaic Export Tax - Rebate Policy Section - China has made major adjustments to the export tax - rebate policy for photovoltaic products. Currently, China exports 35,000 - 40,000 TEUs of photovoltaic modules to Europe per month, accounting for about 5% of the total European - bound exports. It is estimated that before April 1, the additional cargo volume on the European line due to the rush of shipments is about 30,000 TBU, consuming the capacity of 2 ships of 15,000 TEU. After April, the monthly European - bound shipping volume is expected to decrease by 3000 - 4000 TEU, accounting for about 0.4%. The rush of shipments may temporarily ease the decline in post - holiday freight rates, but it is difficult to benefit most shipping companies. The recommended strategy is to wait and see [7]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - The market is expected to experience a relatively concentrated rush of shipments before April 1st, which will consume the export volume of photovoltaic modules after April next year, and the subsequent export volume will decline. The rush of shipments may temporarily alleviate the decline in freight rates after the holiday, but it is difficult to benefit most shipping companies, and a price war in the off - season is inevitable. The main contract is supported in the short term, but the benefits of the rush of shipments need to be verified. Subsequently, the decline in exports will lead to a contraction in cargo volume, which is suitable for upstream and mid - stream enterprises to conduct short hedging on the 04 contract. The recommended strategy is to wait and see [6][7]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Shipping Derivatives Data - **Container Freight Index**: The current values of Shanghai Export Container Freight Composite Index (SCFI), China Export Container Freight Index (CCFI), SCFI - US West, SCFIS - US West, SCFI - US East, SCFI - Northwest Europe, SCFIS - Northwest Europe, and SCFI - Mediterranean are 1647, 1195, 2218, 1323, 3128, 1719, 1956, and 3232 respectively. The previous values are 1656, 1147, 2188, 1250, 3033, 1690, 1795, and 3143 respectively. The corresponding percentage changes are - 0.54%, 4.21%, 1.37%, 5.84%, 3.13%, 1.72%, 8.97%, and 2.83% respectively [4]. 3.2 Market News - The US Supreme Court has scheduled Friday as the "judgment day", which will be the first possible time to rule on President Donald Trump's global tariff policy. If the ruling finds Trump's tariffs illegal, it will weaken his iconic economic policy [5]. - Maersk will continue to gradually resume east - west shipping through the Suez Canal and the Red Sea. From January 11th to 12th, Maersk Denver successfully passed the Bab el - Mandeb Strait and entered the Red Sea [5]. 3.3 EC Market - **Market Review**: The market is in a downward trend [6]. - **Spot Price**: In the fourth week of January, Maersk's quotes were differentiated. The Shanghai - Rotterdam route was quoted at $2700/FEU (a month - on - month increase of $100), while the Ningbo - Rotterdam and Shanghai - Gdansk routes dropped to $2400/FEU ( $230 lower than the European base port). Hapag - Lloyd's quote center dropped to $2300 - 2700/FEU. In the OA alliance, the quotes were loose in the first half of January. From January 16th - 22nd, EMC's quote was $2800 - 2950/FEU, still at a high level but with weakened price - holding strength. YML's quote from January 16th - 22nd was $2600/FEU, lower than OA and MSC, and it has not followed Maersk's price cut. MSC's quote in the second half of January was $2840/FEU, the same as the first half, and did not follow Maersk's price cut [6]. - **Logic**: The State Taxation Administration issued an announcement on adjusting the export tax - refund policy for photovoltaic products. Currently, China exports an average of 35,000 - 40,000 TEU of photovoltaic modules to Europe per month, accounting for about 5% of the total export volume on the European route. To avoid losing tax - refund benefits and increasing export costs, enterprises are rushing to ship before the policy takes effect. It is estimated that before April 1st, the additional cargo volume on the European route due to the rush of shipments will be about 30,000 TEU, which will consume the capacity of 2 ships with a capacity of 15,000 TEU. After April, it is expected that the monthly shipping volume on the European route will decrease by 3000 - 4000 TEU, accounting for about 0.4%, putting pressure on the demand for far - month contracts [6].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided 2. Core Viewpoints - The market expects a concentrated rush to ship before April 1st, which will advance the export volume of photovoltaic modules after April next year. Subsequently, this part of the export volume will decline. The rush to ship may temporarily alleviate the post - holiday decline in freight rates, but it is difficult to benefit most shipping companies, and a price war in the off - season is inevitable. The main contract is supported in the short term, but the benefits of the rush to ship need to be verified. As the subsequent export decline leads to a contraction in cargo volume, the futures market is more suitable for positive spread operations. The recommended strategy is to wait and see [7]. 3. Summary by Related Content 3.1 Shipping Derivatives Data - **Freight Index**: The current values of Shanghai Export Container Freight Index (SCFI), China Export Container Freight Index (CCFI), SCFI - US West, SCFIS - US West, SCFI - US East, SCFI - Northwest Europe, SCFIS - Northwest Europe, and SCFI - Mediterranean are 1647, 1195, 2218, 1323, 3128, 1719, 1956, and 3232 respectively. The previous values are 1656, 1147, 2188, 1250, 3033, 1690, 1795, and 3143 respectively. Their corresponding daily changes are - 0.54%, 4.21%, 1.37%, 5.84%, 3.13%, 1.72%, 8.97%, and 2.83% [4]. 3.2 Market News - The US Supreme Court has set Friday as the "judgment day", which will be the first possible time to rule on President Donald Trump's global tariff policy. If the court rules that Trump's tariffs are illegal, it will weaken his iconic economic policy and become the most significant legal setback since his return to the White House [5]. - According to Lloyd's List Intelligence, the US action to oust Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro has further accelerated the trend of "shadow fleet" tankers transferring under Russian flag protection [5]. - The Asia - Europe route has entered the peak shipping season, and liner companies have increased their capacity deployment. According to Xeneta, the capacity supply on the Asia - Pacific to Northern Europe route this week has reached a record high. The pre - Spring Festival rush to ship has begun on the Asia - Pacific to Northern Europe route. Some market observers believe that there are signs of "frontloading" in addition to seasonal demand, while others think that the cargo volume in January is still within the normal historical range [5]. 3.3 Market Quotes - **Spot Price**: The GEMINI quotes of Maersk in the fourth week of January showed differentiation. The Shanghai - Rotterdam quote was 2700 dollars/FEU (a 100 - dollar increase from the previous period), while the quotes from Ningbo - Rotterdam and Shanghai - Gdansk dropped to 2400 dollars/FEU (230 dollars lower than the European base port). Hapag - Lloyd followed the alliance's rhythm, and its quote center fell to 2300 - 2700 dollars/FEU. The OA quotes were unstable in the first half of January. In the second half, EMC quoted 2800 - 2950 dollars/FEU from January 16th to 22nd, still at a high level but with reduced price - holding strength. YML quoted 2600 dollars/FEU from January 16th to 22nd, lower than OA and MSC, and did not follow Maersk's price cut for the time being. MSC's quote in the second half of January was 2840 dollars/FEU, the same as in the first half, and did not follow Maersk's price reduction [6]. 3.4 Impact of Policy Adjustment on the Shipping Market - The State Taxation Administration issued an announcement on adjusting the export tax - refund policy for photovoltaic products. Currently, China exports an average of 35,000 - 40,000 TEU of photovoltaic modules to Europe per month, accounting for about 5% of the total export volume on the European route. It is estimated that before April 1st, the cargo volume on the European route will increase by about 30,000 TEU due to the rush to ship, which is expected to consume the capacity of two 15,000 - TEU ships. After April, third - party institutions predict that the monthly freight volume on the European route will decrease by 3000 - 4000 TEU, accounting for about 0.4%, putting pressure on the demand for far - month contracts [7].

Core Viewpoint - A leading freight forwarding company in Shanghai is facing operational risks due to fluctuations in forward freight costs while expanding its direct customer market. Guotai Junan Futures has developed a tailored hedging solution to mitigate the risk of rising costs by purchasing the EC2512 contract, effectively locking in stable profits for the company [1][4]. Group 1: Industry Common Issues - Fluctuations in freight rates pose significant operational risks across the shipping market, impacting freight forwarders and shippers who face cost pressures from rising rates. Freight forwarders need to hedge against rising costs by purchasing shipping futures, while shipping companies and primary freight forwarders must guard against falling rates by selling futures contracts to lock in profits [2]. - Middle-tier freight forwarding companies often lack effective risk management tools due to insufficient contractual spirit in certain segments, leaving them exposed to unhedged risks [2]. Group 2: Company Background and Needs - The Shanghai-based freight forwarding company is a comprehensive enterprise with a global network. In 2025, the company aims to expand its direct customer market by participating in a tender for European export routes for home appliance companies, needing to quote a fixed price of $1,800/FEU while facing the risk of rising upstream freight costs [3]. Group 3: Service Solution and Implementation - The hedging strategy was designed based on fundamental research, considering geopolitical factors, European economic recovery, and shipping capacity control. Guotai Junan Futures recommended the company to buy shipping futures to hedge against future increases in spot freight costs [4]. - The company won a bid for 64 FEU (32 FEU each for November and December), locking in revenue at $1,800/FEU. To hedge against cost risks, Guotai Junan Futures advised purchasing 16 EC2512 contracts at a price of 1,000 points, corresponding to a freight rate of $1,500/FEU, effectively locking in future costs [6][8]. Group 4: Project Outcomes and Future Cooperation - The hedging strategy allowed the company to manage freight rate risks efficiently at a lower cost, achieving a risk-free profit of $300/FEU by locking in costs at $1,500/FEU while securing $1,800/FEU in revenue. The outcome was well-received by the company [8]. - Following the successful initial collaboration, the company engaged Guotai Junan Futures again in May 2025 for a new round of hedging for December tenders, completing the hedging of 60 FEU within a week, demonstrating improved cooperation efficiency and increased customer satisfaction [9]. Group 5: Industry Promotion and Innovation - Beyond traditional shipping companies and freight forwarders, other groups such as booking platforms and cross-border e-commerce businesses show potential for participating in the shipping derivatives market. These entities can integrate derivatives into their services, indirectly benefiting small and medium-sized freight forwarders [11]. - The "insurance + futures" model combines freight rate risk management with existing shipping insurance products, lowering industry entry barriers and enhancing overall risk coverage capabilities. This approach may be particularly appealing to cross-border e-commerce businesses facing intense competition and seeking to expand their operational space [13].

Report Summary 1. Report's Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content 2. Core View of the Report - The spot freight rate of the European route has increased, with the freight rate center in late December rising by over $200 compared to early December. The leading shipping companies' price - holding actions have strengthened market confidence. The supply - demand situation shows that the seasonal stocking in Europe has increased the cargo volume and the shipping companies' loading rate. The weekly average capacity of the European route has shrunk in late December, and the effective supply is not overly loose. The resumption of shipping in the Red Sea has made limited progress, and the previous extremely pessimistic expectations in the market are gradually being revised, driving the market to fluctuate upwards. However, the strategy suggests short - selling the 02 contract with a small position at high prices. [9][10] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Shipping Freight Index - The current values of Shanghai Export Container Freight Composite Index (SCFI), China Export Container Freight Index (CCFI), SCFI - US West, SCFIS - US West, SCFI - US East, SCFI - Northwest Europe, SCFIS - Northwest Europe, and SCFI - Mediterranean are 1506, 1118, 1780, 924, 2652, 1538, 1510, and 2737 respectively. The corresponding previous values are 1398, 1115, 1550, 960, 2315, 1400, 1509, and 2300, with the respective growth rates being 7.79%, 0.29%, 14.84%, - 3.75%, 14.56%, 9.86%, 0.07%, and 19.00%. [5] Shipping Derivative Contracts - For contracts EC2506, EC2608, EC2610, EC2512, EC2602, and EC2604, the current values are 1290.0, 1462.4, 1041.2, 1631.5, 1686.8, and 1112.7 respectively. The previous values are 1306.7, 1479.9, 1053.8, 1649.8, 1746.0, and 1149.7, with the growth rates of - 1.28%, - 1.18%, - 1.20%, - 1.11%, - 3.39%, and - 3.22%. [5] Shipping Contract Positions - The current positions of EC2606, EC2608, EC2610, EC2512, EC2602, and EC2604 are 2305, 1351, 4711, 2566, 32483, and 19928 respectively. The previous positions are 2335, 1441, 4739, 2724, 33065, and 19657, with the changes of - 30, - 90, - 28, - 158, - 582, and 271. [5] Shipping Contract Month - to - Month Differences - The month - to - month differences of 12 - 02, 12 - 04, and 02 - 04 are currently - 55.3, 518.8, and 574.1 respectively. The previous values are - 96.2, 500.1, and 596.3, with the changes of 40.9, 18.7, and - 22.2. [5] Market News and Trends - CMA CGM has announced that its INDAMEX route will use the Suez Canal for both forward and return voyages between India/Pakistan and the US East Coast, which is seen as a significant step in the large - scale return of container ships to the Red Sea route. The traffic through the Bab el - Mandeb Strait has reached the highest level since January 2024. The FEWB route in December has a low blank sailing rate of 0.9% and reduced capacity due to ship maintenance. Ports in Northern Europe and the Mediterranean are congested, and strong e - commerce demand supports freight rates. The TAWB route has serious congestion in Nordic and Mediterranean ports due to labor disputes, and there is a shortage of containers and trailers in many European countries. [6] EC Market Review - The EC market is in a downward trend. The spot prices in early December from MSK, HPL, OOCL, CMA, EM3, QNE, and MSC are $2500, $2350, $2300, $350, $3100, $2450, and $2450 respectively. In late December, the prices from MSK, HPL, and CMA are $2400, $2050, and $350. MSK plans to raise the price to $3500 in January. [7] Market Logic and Strategy - In the spot market, the PA alliance's low - price cargo collection in the early stage led to a large number of "rolled cargoes". The blank sailing on the FE3 route in week 51 alleviated the cargo - collection pressure, and the freight rate stabilized at $2400. The leading shipping companies' price - holding actions have strengthened market confidence. In terms of supply and demand, the seasonal stocking in Europe has increased the cargo volume, and the shipping companies' loading rate has improved. The weekly average capacity of the European route has shrunk in late December, and the effective supply is not overly loose. The resumption of shipping in the Red Sea has made limited progress, and the previous extremely pessimistic expectations in the market are gradually being revised. The strategy is to short - sell the 02 contract with a small position at high prices. [9][10]

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core View The current shipping market is in a volatile pattern, mainly affected by index fluctuations, long - short games, and the transition of the main contract. The market is sensitive to short - term factors such as December contract delivery and freight rate implementation, with frequent long - short switches. The focus is shifting from the December contract to subsequent main contracts, but it is still disturbed by short - term factors. The future trend depends on whether the January peak - season expectations can be fulfilled. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term [9]. 3. Summary According to Related Catalogs Shipping Market News - CMA CGM's INDAMEX route will use the Suez Canal for both forward and return voyages between India/Pakistan and the US East Coast, signaling the large - scale return of container ships to the Red Sea route [6]. - The traffic volume through the Bab el Mande Strait has reached the highest level since January 2024 [6]. - The FEWB route has a low blank - sailing rate of 0.9% in December due to shipping companies' strict capacity control, and the market is expected to remain at a high level during Christmas and the New Year.

EC Market - **Market Review**: The market showed a volatile pattern. The spot prices of different shipping companies changed from early December to late December, and MSK plans to raise the price in January [7]. - **Logic**: The market is affected by index fluctuations, long - short games, and the transition of the main contract. It is sensitive to short - term factors, and the focus is shifting to subsequent main contracts [9]. - **Strategy**: It is recommended to wait and see [10].

Report Summary 1. Report's Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The global shipping market shows complex trends. The INDAMEX route of CMA CGM has changed its navigation path, and the FEWB and TAWB routes have different supply - demand and price situations. The European container shipping line's December contract is in the delivery month, and the market is verifying previous expectations. The future trend depends on the final announcement of the "late - month freight rate", especially the performance of freight rates in mid - to - late December [7][8]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Shipping Freight Index - **Current and Previous Values and Fluctuations**: The current values of Shanghai Export Container Freight Composite Index (SCFI), China Export Container Freight Index (CCFI), SCFI - US West, SCFIS - US West, SCFI - US East, SCFI - Northwest Europe are 1398, 1115, 1550, 960, 2315, 1400 respectively, with corresponding previous values of 1403, 1122, 1632, N/A, 2428, 1404, and the percentage changes are - 0.39%, - 0.62%, - 5.02%, 1.18%, - 4.65%, - 0.28%.

Report Overview - **Report Title**: Shipping Derivatives Data Daily Report [4] - **Report Date**: December 1, 2025 [5] - **Researcher**: Lu Zhaoyi from the Energy and Chemical Research Center of Guomao Futures Research Institute [5] Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report. Core View - The EC market shows a weak and volatile trend. The main reason is the news that Maersk's vessels are expected to start partial resumption of passage through the Suez Canal in early December 2025 as a prelude to full resumption of navigation, and CMA CGM plans to achieve full navigation in December 2026. The future market trend will present a weak and volatile pattern, with core driving factors including the implementation of December freight rates, the strength of the January price increase, and seasonal changes in cargo volume [7]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Shipping Freight Index - **SCFI**: The current value of the Shanghai Export Container Freight Composite Index (SCFI) is 1403, with a previous value of 1394 and a rise - fall rate of 0.69%. The China Export Container Freight Index (CCFI) has a current value of 1122, a previous value of 1123, and a rise - fall rate of - 0.09%. Different routes show varying trends, such as SCFI - US West with a - 0.79% change, SCFI - US East with a 1.85% change, etc. [5] - **SCFIS**: SCFIS - Northwest Europe has a current value of 1357, a previous value of 1504, and a rise - fall rate of - 9.77%. SCFIS - Mediterranean has a current value of 2232, a previous value of 2055, and a rise - fall rate of 8.61% [5] Shipping Futures Contracts - **Contract Prices**: For contracts such as EC2506, EC2608, etc., prices show different changes. For example, EC2506 has a current value of 1190.1, a previous value of 1252.0, and a rise - fall rate of - 4.94% [5] - **Contract Positions**: Positions of different contracts also change. For example, the current position of EC2606 is 2186, with a previous position of 1986 and a change of 200 [5] - **Monthly Spreads**: The current value of the 12 - 02 monthly spread is 225.2, with a previous value of 235.0 and a change of - 9.8 [5] Market News - Maersk and Hapag - Lloyd have no specific time to adjust the "Gemini" east - west routes. CMA CGM refuses to comment on full return to the Red Sea routes, and its self - operated fleet has not fully resumed. The Suez Canal Authority expects full recovery of vessel traffic volume and revenue normalization by the end of 2026. There is a new battlefield in Sino - US competition affecting third - country trade agreements [6] EC Market Analysis - **Spot Prices**: In early December, MSK quotes 2500, HPL quotes 2350, etc. [7] - **Market Logic**: The future market will be weak and volatile. If leading shipping companies maintain quotes between 2400 - 2600 US dollars/FEU in December and there is no large - scale overbooking, EC near - month contracts will continue to be under pressure. The difficulty of the January price increase will increase if cargo volume remains weak or shipping company quotes diverge more, limiting the upside space of the 02 contract. Seasonal cargo volume changes from late December to early January need to be observed [7] - **Strategy**: It is recommended to wait and see as the 12 - contract is gradually losing trading value [8]

If there is overbooking, it may briefly boost freight rates [7] Outlook - Short - term strategy is to wait and see, focusing on December freight rate implementation and January price increase letter effectiveness [7] - If December freight rates are implemented at 80% of the quote, the EC2602 contract may test the 1500 - 1700 point range; if price support is successful, the 02 contract may rise to 1800 - 1900 points [7] Strategy - The recommended strategy is to wait and see, as the 12 - contract is gradually losing trading value [8]
