1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the industry investment rating in the provided content. 2. Core Views of the Report - In the container shipping market, due to the cease - fire news between Iran and Israel and some shipping companies reducing spot prices, most contracts declined except the 06 contract. The short - term sentiment is weak, and the long - term freight rate is not expected to be overly high under the background of the tariff trade war. It is recommended to operate with caution [4][5]. - In the dry bulk shipping market, the Baltic Dry Bulk Freight Index dropped to a more than two - week low due to the decline in capesize ship freight rates. The short - term freight rate is expected to enter a correction phase, while the medium - sized ship market is expected to show an oscillating trend [13][17]. - In the tanker shipping market, the recent escalation of geopolitical conflicts has boosted the sentiment of the oil shipping market, and the BDTI has rebounded. The short - term freight rate increase is mainly due to the geopolitical conflict premium, and the impact of market sentiment changes on freight rates needs to be further observed [21]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Container Shipping Market Analysis and Strategy Recommendation - Market Performance: On June 24, 2025, most container shipping futures contracts declined, with EC2508 closing at 1772 points, down 5.49% from the previous day. The latest SCFIS European line reported 1937.14 points, up 14.11% month - on - month, and the SCFI European line reported $1835/TEU on June 20, down 0.49% month - on - month [2][4]. - Logic Analysis: Spot freight rates have gradually recovered. Maersk's reduction of spot prices in the second week of July has led to concerns about an inflection point. In terms of demand, the possible extension of the 90 - day tariff exemption period in Sino - US negotiations reduces the pressure of ship overflow from the US line to the European line. In terms of supply, the weekly average capacity from June to September 2025 is expected to increase in July. The repeated geopolitical situation in the Middle East may cause the far - month contracts to fall again [5]. - Trading Strategy: For single - side trading, it is recommended to wait and see as the market is weakly oscillating. For arbitrage, hold the 6 - 8 reverse spread and conduct rolling operations on the 10 - 12 reverse spread [6][7]. Industry News - The preliminary value of the US S&P Global Services PMI in June was 53.1, and the comprehensive PMI was 52.8. The Port of Chittagong in Bangladesh is severely congested. There are repeated developments in the Iran - Israel cease - fire news [9][10]. Dry Bulk Shipping Market Analysis and Outlook - Freight Index: The Baltic Dry Bulk Freight Index fell to a more than two - week low, with the capesize ship freight index dropping and the panamax ship freight index rising [13]. - Spot Freight Rates: On June 23, the freight rates of some capesize ship routes declined, while those of some panamax ship routes increased [14]. - Shipping Data: From June 16 - 22, 2025, the global iron ore shipping volume increased. Brazil's soybean export is expected to reach 1437 tons in June. In May, China's imports of US and Brazilian soybeans increased [15]. - Logic Analysis: The capesize ship market is pessimistic about future freight rates, and the panamax ship market has a slight increase in freight rates. The short - term freight rate is expected to enter a correction phase, and the medium - sized ship market is expected to oscillate [17]. Industry News - The inventory of seven major iron ore ports in Australia and Brazil increased. Typhoon "Sepat" is approaching Japan [18][19]. Tanker Shipping Market Analysis and Outlook - Freight Rates: On June 23, the Baltic Crude Oil Transport Index (BDTI) was 1099, up 4.27% month - on - month, and the Baltic Product Oil Transport Index (BCTI) was 720, up 1.69% month - on - month. The short - term freight rate increase is mainly due to geopolitical conflict premiums [21]. - Logic Analysis: The short - term demand is relatively weak during the refinery maintenance period in the second quarter. The freight rate increase is mainly driven by geopolitical factors, and the impact of market sentiment on freight rates needs to be observed [21]. Industry News - Israel will strongly respond to Iran's violation of the cease - fire. HSBC predicts the future trend of oil prices. Saudi Arabia's crude oil production and exports increased in April [22][24]. Relevant Attachments There are multiple figures in the report, including the SCFIS European and US West lines index, SCFI comprehensive index, BDI index, BDTI, and BCTI, etc., which visually present the historical trends of relevant data [25][33][39].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For container shipping, the spot freight rate is gradually recovering, with the first round of price increases exceeding expectations and the second round still under observation. The spot freight rate center is expected to continue rising, and there is still an expectation of price increases in July. In the short term, the market is volatile, and it is advisable to wait and see. For the 08 contract, with the peak - season expectation still in place, the general idea is to go long on dips, and 10 - 12 and 6 - 8 reverse arbitrages should be held [5][6][7]. - For dry - bulk shipping, the Baltic Dry Index reached a near - seven - month high on June 9. Recently, the transport demand of large - vessel markets has increased, supporting the freight rate, but it may peak and decline in the short term. The medium - vessel market is expected to be slightly stronger with fluctuations, and attention should be paid to the coal transport demand [15][18]. - For oil tanker transportation, the BDTI is maintaining a volatile trend. OPEC+ has gradually increased production since May, which may increase the global seaborne demand for crude oil. The impact of the cargo source release rhythm on the freight rate should be further observed [23]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Container Shipping Market Analysis and Strategy Recommendation - **Market Performance**: On June 10, the EC2508 contract closed at 2042.1 points, down 1.14% from the previous day. The latest SCFIS European Line reported 1622.81 points on June 6, up 29.5% month - on - month, and the SCFI European Line reported $1667/TEU on June 6, up 5.04% month - on - month [2][5]. - **Logic Analysis**: The spot freight rate in June is gradually rising, with the second - week price center between $2800 - 2900. Mainstream shipping companies have launched the second round of GRI window price increases in June. The first round of price increases exceeded expectations, and the second round is still under observation. The demand side has the continued rush of shipments on the Sino - US route, alleviating the pressure of vessel spill - over from the US route to the European route. The supply side shows that the monthly average weekly capacity from May to August 2025 is 27.36/27.58/30.53/31.94 million TEU respectively [6]. - **Trading Strategy**: For unilateral trading, it is recommended to wait and see due to high short - term uncertainty. For the 08 contract, the general idea is to go long on dips. For arbitrage, hold the 10 - 12 and 6 - 8 reverse arbitrages [7][8]. Industry News - On June 6, Hudong - Zhonghua Shipbuilding delivered the world's largest 24000TEU LNG dual - fuel ultra - large container ship "CMA CGM Saint - Germain" for CMA CGM, 6 months ahead of schedule. The US Trade Representative's Office adjusted the port charging structure for Chinese - built ships, postponed the implementation time for using US - built LNG carriers for US LNG exports, and further targeted car carriers [10]. - Regarding the Red Sea situation, on June 10, Iran's Supreme National Security Council stated that if Iran is attacked by Israel, Israel's secret nuclear facilities will become Iran's targets.

From January to May, the export volume was 150 million tons, up 2.5% year - on - year. The export volume to China in May was 23.43 million tons, up 14% year - on - year [15]. - **Spot Freight Rate**: On June 9, the freight rate of the Brazil Tubarao - Qingdao (BCI - C3) route was $24.13/ton, down 1.45% month - on - month, and the West Australia - Qingdao (BCI - C5) route was $10.09/ton, down 3.39% month - on - month [16]. - **Logic Analysis**: The transport demand of the Capesize vessel market has weakened recently, and the freight rate may peak and decline in the short term. The Panamax vessel market is relatively positive, and it is expected to be slightly stronger with fluctuations in the short term, and attention should be paid to the coal transport demand [18].

The impact of the cargo source release rhythm on the freight rate should be further observed [23]. Industry News - The price of refinery naphtha has been declining in the past three months, but the profit of the refinery reforming unit has improved, and the demand for naphtha is expected to improve [25]. - The oil production of five OPEC+ member countries participating in the production increase in May increased by 180,000 barrels per day, lower than the promised increase of 310,000 barrels per day [25]. - Iran's Supreme National Security Council stated that if Iran is attacked by Israel, Israel's secret nuclear facilities will become Iran's targets [26].

However, recent operations are highly challenging. Risk - preferring investors can wait for rebound opportunities [1] - The core logic for this year's prediction lies in the direction of international tariff policies. In April, the US may change its tariff policies towards countries such as Canada, Mexico, and Europe again. The inclusion of retaliatory tariffs in the negotiation process adds a significant disturbing factor to the future of the shipping industry [1] - It is necessary to focus on the price war between MSK and MSC in the second quarter and the feedback of terminal demand under aggressive tariff policies [1] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Shipping Indexes - On April 7, the Shanghai Export Container Settlement Freight Index (SCFIS) for the European route was 1422.42 points, a 3.5% decrease from the previous period; the SCFIS for the US - West route was 1129.45 points, a 3.7% increase from the previous period [1] - On March 28, the Ningbo Export Container Freight Index (NCFI) (composite index) was 983.01 points, a 12.89% increase from the previous period; the NCFI for the European route was 866.25 points, a 0.65% decrease from the previous period; the NCFI for the US - West route was 1524.4 points, a 49.83% increase from the previous period [1] - On April 3, the Shanghai Export Container Freight Index (SCFI) was 1392.78 points, a 35.90 - point increase from the previous period; the SCFI for the European route was 1336 USD/TEU, a 1.4% increase from the previous period; the SCFI for the US - West route was 2313 USD/FEU, a 6.2% increase from the previous period [1] - On April 3, the China Export Container Freight Index (CCFI) (composite index) was 1102.71 points, a 0.8% decrease from the previous period; the CCFI for the European route was 1507.27 points, a 1.3% decrease from the previous period; the CCFI for the US - West route was 776.61 points, a 3.6% decrease from the previous period [1] Economic Data - The preliminary value of the Eurozone's manufacturing PMI in March was 48.7 (expected 48.2); the preliminary value of the service PMI was 50.4 (expected 51).

It is recommended to take all profits. After the price war situation becomes clear in April, wait for the far - month contracts to adjust to an appropriate price before making new arrangements [1] Market Conditions - On April 10, the main contract 2506 closed at 1886.0, with a 14.47% increase, a trading volume of 82,600 lots, and an open interest of 33,200 lots, a decrease of 1498 lots from the previous day [1] - Due to the US announcement of tariff suspension for non - retaliatory countries, the market rebounded rapidly, and the container shipping index futures opened and closed higher.

Core Viewpoints - Despite the continuous decline of SCFIS, some liner companies are still pushing up freight rates in mid - early April. The market atmosphere is bullish under the multi - empty game, and the market is oscillating at a relatively high level.
