1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core View of the Report - The freight rates of the container shipping index (European line) futures are expected to be under pressure in the short - term. With the demand not significantly improving, over - capacity remains a major challenge for the supply side, limiting the recovery of the shipping industry's prosperity. The price increase announced by leading shipping companies in December depends on the fourth - quarter cargo volume. The eurozone's economic data shows some improvement but is generally not optimistic. The high uncertainty of tariffs and the market's wait - and - see attitude may lead to a "weak peak season" this year, and the freight rates are likely to fluctuate weakly [7][41] 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1. Market Review - The futures prices of the container shipping index (European line) declined across the board this week. The main contract EC2510 dropped 12.22%, and the far - month contracts fell between 1% and 5%. The latest SCFIS European line settlement freight rate index was 1566.46, down 207.14 points from last week, a 11.7% week - on - week decrease. The volume and open interest of the EC2510 contract both increased this week [6][10][15] 3.2. News Review and Analysis - The market has fully factored in the scenario of the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates three times by the end of the year after the release of US economic data. The European Central Bank kept interest rates unchanged for the second consecutive time, suggesting that the interest - rate cut cycle is near its end. Mexico's plan to raise import tariffs, Trump's criticism of the Fed, and the call from the US Treasury Secretary for a policy re - evaluation are all events with different impacts on the market [19] 3.3. Weekly Market Data - The basis and spread of the container shipping index (European line) futures contracts converged this week. The export container freight rate index declined. Container ship capacity decreased in the short - term. The BDI and BPI rebounded due to geopolitical factors. The charter price of Panamax ships recovered rapidly, and the spread between the offshore and on - shore RMB against the US dollar mainly fluctuated [25][27][31] 3.4. Market Outlook and Strategy - The freight rates are still suppressed by the fundamentals in the short - term. The over - capacity problem restricts the industry's recovery. The implementation of the price increase announced by shipping companies in December depends on the fourth - quarter cargo volume. The market is in a wait - and - see mode due to high tariff uncertainty. It is necessary to continuously monitor factors such as the actual price increase of shipping companies in December, the frequency of Houthi attacks, and trade - war - related information [7][41]
