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 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].

Maersk's lower quotes and market reactions lead to a short - term price increase, and the 08 contract is strong due to delay - supported slower decline of freight rates [7] - Airlines are accelerating price cuts to maintain market share, and the overall downward trend of spot freight rates is established.

据摩洛哥Hespress网站8月19日报道，美国已把大量海上运输从西班牙阿尔赫西拉斯港改道至摩洛哥丹 吉尔港，将丹吉尔港作为其大西洋、印度洋航线新枢纽。 阿尔赫西拉斯市市长兰达卢塞对此表示强烈反对，称此举"极具破坏性"，可能给西班牙和欧洲经济带来 负面影响，导致失业和经济衰退。 西班牙媒体称这一"重大调整"发生在西班牙与美国之间外交裂痕不断扩大的背景下。2024年11月，西班 牙以船上载有运往以色列的物资为由，拒绝两艘悬挂美国国旗的集装箱货轮停靠阿尔赫西拉斯港。 航运巨头马士基（Maersk Line）和美国总统轮船公司（American President Lines）表示，重新规划航线 主要出于运营和成本考量，目的是缩短运输时间和避免欧盟监管。 ...

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. Core Viewpoints - The main contract is expected to fluctuate weakly. It is advisable to short the October contract when the price is high. The 12 - month contract follows the pattern of peak and off - peak seasons, but the risk lies in whether the Suez Canal will reopen. The 10 - month contract should be mainly short - allocated, and attention should be paid to the downward slope of freight rates. The August contract has an uncertain delivery settlement price due to the continuous decline in freight rates [5][6][8]. Summary by Catalog 1. Market Analysis - **Online Quotes**: Different shipping companies have different price trends on the Shanghai - Rotterdam route. For example, Maersk's Week 36 price increased, while some other companies' prices remained stable or decreased. Maersk's PSS in the Far East - Nordic region dropped to $50/100 [1]. - **Geopolitical Situation**: Middle - Eastern media reported that Hamas agreed to a 60 - day cease - fire and release half of the detainees. Israeli media stated that Israel received a new cease - fire proposal from Hamas [2]. - **Shipping Capacity**: The average weekly shipping capacity from China to European base ports varies in different months. There are TBNs and empty sailings in September and October, and there were many additional ships in August. HPL announced two additional ships for October [3]. 2. Contract Analysis - **August Contract**: The freight rate has reached its peak and is continuously declining, which brings uncertainty to the delivery settlement price. The estimated final delivery settlement price is around 2100 points [4]. - **October Contract**: It is a quarterly contract, mainly short - allocated. Normally, the price in October is 20% - 30% lower than that in August. After Maersk's Week 36 price dropped, attention should be paid to whether other shipping companies will follow suit. HPL's additional ships in October may put pressure on the spot price. In the context of a large discount, it is relatively safe to short the EC2510 contract when the price is high, but excessive short - chasing should be avoided [5][6]. - **December Contract**: In the fourth quarter, due to Western holidays and shipping companies' preparations for long - term contract negotiations, freight rates are usually high. However, the risk is whether the Suez Canal will reopen [6]. 3. Market Data - **Futures Data**: As of August 19, 2025, the total open interest of all container shipping index European line futures contracts was 77,773 lots, and the single - day trading volume was 34,375 lots. Different contracts had different closing prices [7]. - **Spot Data**: On August 15, 2025, the SCFI for different routes was announced. On August 18, the SCFIS for the Shanghai - Europe route was 2180.17 points [7]. - **Container Ship Delivery**: In 2025, it is still a big year for container ship deliveries. As of August 15, 2025, 167 container ships with a total capacity of 1.318 million TEU have been delivered [8]. 4. Strategy - **Unilateral Strategy**: The main contract is expected to fluctuate weakly [8]. - **Arbitrage Strategy**: Short the October contract when the price is high [8].
