Report Information - Report Title: Container Shipping Index Daily Report [1] - Date: December 16, 2025 [2] - Research Team: Macro Financial Team [4] - Researchers: He Zhuoqiao, Huang Wenxin, Nie Jiayi [3] Report Core Viewpoints - The spot SCFIS index rebounded slightly and stabilized this week. Shipping companies continued to raise prices, boosting the market's sentiment. MSC followed Maersk to announce a price increase for January quotes. The main shipping companies have formed a trend of joint price increases, which strongly supports the market's expectation of price increases before the Spring Festival. There may be an incentive game for the pre - Spring Festival shipping season. It's hard to prove whether the EC2602 contract is overvalued in the short term, and the cost - performance of short - selling is not high. Attention should be paid to the possibility of the off - season April contract being overvalued and the positive spread trading opportunity between EC2602 and EC2604 [8] Report Content Summary by Section 1. Market Review and Operation Suggestions - **Market Conditions**: The SCFIS index rebounded slightly and stabilized this week. Shipping companies continued to raise prices. MSC followed Maersk to raise the January quote for European routes to $3700, higher than the $3500 announced on December 15. The current prices of major shipping companies are around $3000 - $3500 in the second half of December and $3500 - $3700 in the first half of January [8] - **Operation Suggestions**: The main shipping companies have a joint price - raising trend, which supports the pre - Spring Festival price increase expectation. It's difficult to prove the overvaluation of EC2602 in the short term, so short - selling is not cost - effective. Attention should be paid to the possible overvaluation of the April contract and the positive spread trading opportunity between EC2602 and EC2604 [8] 2. Industry News - **Overall Market Situation**: From December 8 to 12, China's export container transport demand was generally stable.

On December 12, the Shanghai Export Containerized Freight Index was 1506.46 points, up 7.8% from the previous period [9] - **Route - Specific Situations**: - **European Route**: Economic data in Europe was average. Due to the mid - month price increase announcements of some shipping merchants, the spot booking price increased.

On December 12, the freight rate from Shanghai Port to Mediterranean base ports was $2737/TEU, up 19.0% [9] - **North American Route**: Affected by the Fed's possible interest rate cut and rising inflation expectations, the US economic situation declined.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the content. 2. Core Viewpoints - The 12 - contract follows the delivery logic.
