Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints of the Report - The 12 - month contract is expected to fluctuate, while the February contract is expected to fluctuate strongly. The far - month contracts are under pressure from the potential resumption of the Suez Canal, which may suppress their valuations. The 02 contract's delivery is becoming clearer and will follow real - world quotes more closely. The focus now is on whether the first half of January marks the end of this round of freight rate increases [8][9][11]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs I. Market Analysis - **Online Quotes**: Multiple shipping companies have different quotes for the Shanghai - Rotterdam route. For example, Gemini Cooperation's Maersk quotes for the first and second weeks of January are 1585/2550 and 1570/2520 respectively; HPL's quotes for the second half of December and the first half of January are 1535/2535 and 1835/3035 respectively. Other companies like MSC, ONE, HMM, YML, CMA, EMC, and OOCL also have their respective quotes [1][2][3]. - **Geopolitical Situation**: Israeli Defense Minister Katz stated that Israel will never fully withdraw from the Gaza Strip and will set up a security zone in the Gaza Strip to protect Israeli communities, even after the cease - fire and Hamas disarmament [3]. - **Policy Changes**: The Shanghai International Energy Trading Center plans to revise the "Shanghai International Energy Trading Center Container Shipping Index (European Line) Futures Standard Contract".

III. Contract Analysis - **12 - Month Contract**: The delivery and settlement price of the 12 - month contract is gradually becoming clear, estimated to be between 1600 - 1700 points. The large - scale cargo collection and container dumping from December 8 - 15 may drag down the index on December 22 and 29 [6][7]. - **EC2602 Contract**: The delivery of the 02 contract is becoming clearer, and it will follow real - world quotes more closely. The current focus is on whether the first half of January is the end of this round of freight rate increases. The Maersk quote of 2500 US dollars/FEU is equivalent to about 1750 - 1800 points on the SCFIS [8]. - **Far - Month Contracts**: Due to the high probability of the Suez Canal resuming operation in 2026, the far - month contracts are under pressure, and their valuations may be revised downward. The normal SCFI Shanghai - Europe route freight rate from 2017 - 2019 was between 600 - 1200 US dollars/FEU, corresponding to about 600 - 1400 points on the SCFIS [9]. IV. Market Data - **Futures Market**: As of December 25, 2025, the total open interest of all container shipping index European line futures contracts is 66,466.00 lots, and the daily trading volume is 36,322.00 lots.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided 2. Core Viewpoints - The shipping derivatives market shows complex trends. The shipping rates of various routes have different degrees of increase or decrease, and the market is currently in a state of shock. The main contract has fully factored in the optimistic expectations for the future SCFIS index. If the actual index does not meet the expectations, the market may face a significant correction. The market is currently gambling on the time point of the pre - holiday spot shipping rate peak. The recommended strategy is to wait and see [3][4][5][6] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Shipping Rate Index - **Spot Shipping Rate Index**: The current value of the Shanghai Export Container Freight Index (SCFI) is 1506, with a 7.79% increase from the previous value; the China Export Container Freight Index (CCFI) is 1118, with a 0.29% increase. The shipping rates of various routes such as SCFI - US West, SCFI - US East, and SCFI - Northwest Europe have also increased to varying degrees, with increases ranging from 4.11% to 19.00% [3] - **Contract Shipping Rate**: For contracts such as EC2506, EC2608, etc., the increase or decrease is relatively small, with the largest increase being 1.06% and the largest decrease being - 0.04% [3] - **Position and Month - Spread**: The positions of different contracts have different degrees of increase or decrease. For example, the position of EC2610 has increased by 277, while the position of EC2606 has decreased by 19. The month - spreads of 12 - 02, 12 - 04, and 02 - 04 also have small changes [3] Market News - **Maersk**: Maersk has taken a "significant step" towards returning to the Red Sea. A Singapore - flagged ship passed through the Mandeb Strait controlled by the Houthi rebels, but Maersk emphasized that this does not mean a large - scale return to the Red Sea route [3] - **European Ports**: European major ports are preparing for the situation where ships bypassing the Cape of Good Hope and ships passing through the Suez Canal arrive at the ports simultaneously, which will have a chain reaction on the entire supply chain [3] - **Hapag - Lloyd**: Hapag - Lloyd has abandoned the plan to resume using the Suez Canal on the India - US East Coast route due to customer opposition. As of November this year, it accounted for about 23% of the market on this route, with an annual cargo volume of about 303,500 TEU [3] Market Analysis - **Market Trend**: The market trend is in a state of shock. The spot prices of shipping companies such as Maersk, ONE, and CMA have different price adjustment strategies. Maersk's quotes for the first week of January are 2500, and 2600 - 2700 for the second week, the same as in early December, and it previously planned to raise the price to 3500 [4] - **Market Logic**: The main contract has fully factored in the optimistic expectations for the future SCFIS index. If the actual index does not meet the expectations, the market may face a significant correction. The time value consumption risk is prominent, and the market is currently gambling on the time point of the pre - holiday spot shipping rate peak [5] - **Investment Strategy**: The recommended investment strategy is to wait and see [6]
