Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Report's Core View - The spot price increase at the end of June was better than expected, with the SCFIS settlement index rising above 2000 points. In July, Maersk quoted $2958 in mid - July, and most other shipping companies' quotes were concentrated in the range of $3300 - $3600, with a median of around $3400. However, the futures market has a weak expectation of price increases. The 08 contract has fallen below 1800 points and is lower than the 06 contract, implying that the market may skip the peak - season price increase and expect the freight rate to drop to a low level after the August peak. Considering the strong resilience of European export demand, stable shipping capacity supply, and the stabilization of quotes and container volumes, the peak - season price increase is difficult to be falsified in the short term and may be supported by fundamentals. Currently, the 08 contract may be undervalued, and attention should be paid to short - selling opportunities in October (a traditional off - season) and positive spread arbitrage opportunities between 08 - 10 contracts [8] 3.
