Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The EC market shows an oscillating upward trend. The recent strength is mainly affected by the tariff extension and Maersk's better - than - expected cabin opening. The cargo shipment from the Far East to the United States will continue for some time, which is beneficial for August. The decline amplitude from the high point in August is expected to slow down, thus the discount is repaired. Today, long - position holders shifted their positions. With the new round of peace talks in Gaza on the verge of collapse and the increasing possibility of a summit between Chinese and US leaders, as the freight rate of the 08 contract is gradually determined and the range becomes clearer, it follows the delivery logic, and the 10 - contract gradually replaces the 08 - contract as the main contract and takes over the main role of the expected logic [8]. - In late July, the spot market basically followed the situation in the first half of the month. The average values of different alliances were around 3200 - 3500. Maersk's quotations were higher than the market's expectation of a decline starting from the third week, so the main contract performed strongly. The market on the disk oscillated upward this week due to Maersk's flat or higher - than - expected prices in the third and fourth weeks of July. The main contract repaired from a deep - discount state, but the upward trend is expected to be limited. Shipping companies may have the habit of announcing price increases in August, but the actual implementation will face great supply - side pressure [9]. - Hold the 12 - 4 calendar spread [10].
