1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the monthly perspective, September is likely to see a double - decline in supply and demand. The decline in September's capacity compared to August has widened to 6.2%, but it is still significantly smaller than the decline in the same period in 2024. The current decline in capacity may be less than the decline in demand, and the fundamentals are expected to face further pressure. - Strategically, it is advisable to hold short positions for the October contract as appropriate and add short positions at high prices. The upper pressure level is referred to as 1400 - 1500 points. For the 2512 contract, in terms of unilateral valuation, it is advisable to wait and see for the time being. It is recommended to focus on the opportunities to expand the spreads of the 10 - 12 reverse spread and the 12 - 04 positive spread in the medium to long term. [8] 3.

The trading logic of the market fundamentals remains to go short on rallies [5] - Overseas macro - factors show that the growth of non - farm payrolls in the US in July was lower than expected, and the unemployment rate rose slightly, leading to a deterioration in market risk appetite and a decline in global stock markets. Attention should be paid to the short - term market's pricing of "recession" and whether it will resonate with the EC fundamentals [5] 3.

Core Viewpoints of the Report - The supply and demand of the US routes have both increased, and the freight rates from the US East and West have declined from their highs and may have peaked. The European routes have a price increase expectation in August, and attention should be paid to the actual implementation of the price increase in July and the peak - time and downward slope of the freight rates in 2025 [3][6]. - The geopolitical situation between Israel and Iran may affect the shipping market, but the direct impact on container transportation is relatively small [2][5][6]. - The current strategy suggestions are that the main contract fluctuates in the single - side operation, and in the arbitrage operation, go long on the 08 contract and short on the 10 contract, go long on the 12 contract and short on the 10 contract [8]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs I. Market Analysis - **European Routes**: Multiple shipping companies have announced price increase letters for the second half of June, and some have reported shipping schedules for July.

The freight rates in the US East and West have increased significantly in June, but there are signs of decline recently [3]. II. Geopolitical Situation Iran has sent signals to end hostilities and resume nuclear - related negotiations. It is willing to return to the negotiation table as long as the US does not join the air strikes. However, Israel has little incentive to stop attacking before further weakening Iran's nuclear facilities [2]. III. Container Ship Capacity Supply - The capacity pressure on the European routes in June has decreased. The weekly average capacity of the Shanghai - European routes in the remaining two weeks of June is about 236,500 TEU.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The report suggests to short at high prices for the Container Shipping Index (European Line) and reduce positions in the 10 - 12 reverse spread at high prices [1]. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The EC2506 final delivery settlement price may be around 1950 points due to shipping delays and container skipping in June. For EC2508, it's recommended to take a volatile approach (1900 - 2300 points), with July's freight average expected to be between 3000 - 3400 dollars/FEU. The EC2510 can be shorted at high prices as it may reach the lowest price of the year in the off - season. The 10 - 12 reverse spread can be reduced at high prices [1][15][16]. 3.

With the increase of FAK prices, some BCO customers' orders returned to the long - term agreement market. The US - line freight will continue to decline in late June [12][14]. - **Capacity**: The average weekly capacity in June was 296,000 TEU. In July, the average weekly capacity is 306,000 TEU without considering pending voyages.

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core View The significant rebound of the container shipping index contracts on the day is mainly due to the better - than - expected Sino - US talks over the weekend. The short - term trade prospects have improved, and the supply concerns brought by the US line to the European line have been alleviated, which significantly boosts market expectations. However, the progress in the later stage is still uncertain, and the supply - demand fundamentals of the European line are weak. In the long term, container shipping prices may still be more likely to fall than rise. It is recommended to participate mainly from the perspective of short - term oversold rebound [8]. 3. Summary by Section 3.1行情回顾与操作建议 (Market Review and Operation Suggestions) - The spot market changed little. The online quotes in the second half of May were basically the same as those in the first half. The significant rebound of the container shipping index contracts was caused by the Sino - US talks.

The Mediterranean route's supply - demand fundamentals were better, and the market price was flat. In the North American route, China's exports to the US decreased in April, but the market price rose slightly [9][10]. - From May 10th to 11th, Sino - US economic and trade high - level talks were held in Geneva. On May 12th, the "Sino - US Geneva Economic and Trade Talks Joint Statement" was released. The US will cancel 91% of the tariffs on Chinese goods and modify the 34% "reciprocal tariff", suspending 24% of it for 90 days and retaining 10%.
