1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The spot index of the Shanghai Export Container Freight Index (SCFIS) for European routes continued to decline, while that for the US West routes rebounded. The China Containerized Freight Index (CCFI), Shanghai Containerized Freight Index (SCFI), and Ningbo Containerized Freight Index (NCFI) all continued to fall, with slightly wider declines. The futures price was mainly affected by the current cabin quotes on European routes. The current cabin quotes of major shipping companies at the beginning of September turned from rising to falling, pulling down the futures price valuation. For the future market, one can continue to focus on the changes in the current cabin quotes of shipping companies on European routes and the fundamentals of the European route market. The current cabin quotes on European routes and the SCFI European routes both continued to decline, and the futures price was more likely to maintain a slight downward trend in oscillation, showing a trend relay state. The near - month contracts might experience a short - term rebound after falling to a low level [1]. - Traders are advised to temporarily observe in the spot - futures (basis) strategy and remain on the sidelines in the arbitrage (inter - period) strategy [2]. 3.
