Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The spot market for container shipping is in a downward trend, and the EC futures market is expected to remain weakly volatile. The dry bulk shipping market has seen a decline in the Baltic Dry Index due to falling freight rates for Capesize vessels, while the tanker market shows a divergence between the crude oil and refined oil sectors [6][14][22]. Summary by Directory Part I: Container Shipping - Container Freight Index (Europe Line) Market Analysis and Strategy Recommendation - **Market Performance**: On August 20, the EC2510 contract closed at 2123 points, down 0.2% from the previous day. The SCFI Europe Line reported on August 15 was $1820/TEU, down 7.2% month-on-month. The second-phase settlement index of EC2508 reported on Monday was 2180.17 points, down 2.5% month-on-month, slightly exceeding market expectations [6]. - **Logic Analysis**: With the decline in cargo volume and sufficient capacity supply, spot freight rates are accelerating their decline. The tariff policy has put pressure on the market, and geopolitical factors such as the Israel-Palestine ceasefire negotiations may affect the far - month contracts [7]. - **Trading Strategy**: Unilateral trading should expect a weak and volatile market. For arbitrage, consider rolling operations on the 10 - 12 reverse spread at low levels [8][9]. Industry News - Trump believes there is a good chance to stop the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The US added 407 product categories to the steel and aluminum tariff list. Korea's KMTC ordered 4 container ships and returned to the Trans - Pacific route [11]. Part II: Dry Bulk Shipping Market Analysis and Outlook - **Market Performance**: The Baltic Dry Index fell to a two - week low on Tuesday due to falling Capesize vessel freight rates. The Capesize vessel freight index and daily earnings decreased, while the Panamax vessel freight index and daily earnings increased slightly [14]. - **Spot Rates**: On August 19, the Capesize vessel iron ore route rates from Tubarao, Brazil to Qingdao and from Western Australia to Qingdao decreased. Weekly data showed mixed trends for different routes [15]. - **Shipping Data**: From August 11 - 17, the global iron ore shipment volume increased, and Brazilian soybean and corn shipments showed certain growth compared to the same period last year [17]. - **Logic Analysis**: The Capesize vessel market has few cargoes and weak market sentiment, while the Panamax vessel market has limited coal and grain cargoes. The short - term freight rates of large - sized vessels are under pressure, and the support for medium - sized vessel freight rates from coal transportation demand is expected to weaken [18]. Industry News - The iron ore inventory at seven major ports in Australia and Brazil decreased slightly. The US added product categories to the steel and aluminum tariff list. A coal - laden bulk carrier explosion closed the main channel of the Baltimore Port [19].

On August 18, the BCTI was 612, up 1.16% month - on - month and down 4.38% year - on - year [22]. - **Logic Analysis**: The crude oil market is stable, with VLCC and Aframax vessel freight rates supported by tight capacity. The refined oil market has an imbalance between supply and demand, and short - term and long - term factors need to be monitored [22]. Industry News - The refined oil inventory at the Fujairah Port in the UAE decreased. India's imports of Russian crude oil decreased in July, and state - owned refineries will seek alternative sources in August and September [23][24]. Part IV: Related Attachments - The report provides multiple charts showing the trends of container shipping, dry bulk shipping, and tanker transportation indices and freight rates over different time periods [26][37][43].
