1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The conflict between the US and Iran has exceeded market expectations, leading to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a significant increase in oil prices, and a sharp rise in fuel costs for shipping, which has pushed up freight rates. If the conflict persists, the overall freight rate level will rise; if it eases, prices may fall rapidly [2]. - The market is in a trend - rising market with a structure of strong near - term and weak far - term. It is transitioning from a "strong expectation" trading driven by geopolitics to a "weak reality" verification stage focusing on actual cargo volume, loading rate, and shipping company synergy, with high volatility [23]. - Near - term contracts are relatively strong due to shipping companies' price - holding intentions, while far - term contracts, especially the October contract, may present short - selling opportunities on the right side as they are over - valued and face potential pressure from excess capacity [4]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Core Factors and Strategy Recommendations 3.1.1 Core Factors - The conflict between the US and Iran has led to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, causing a significant increase in oil prices. The domestic SC04 price rose 58%, and the WTI crude oil price rose 35% to over $92, pushing up fuel costs. Market concerns include the duration of the Strait's blockade, the transfer of shipping capacity from the Middle East route to other routes, and potential port inefficiencies and congestion [2]. - From the Friday data of SCFI, the comprehensive index rose 11.7%. The Persian Gulf route had a weekly increase of 72.3%, the South American route 61.4%, and the Central and South American routes 53.4%. The China - Europe route had a relatively small increase of 2.3%, reaching 1452 points. Shipping companies have announced price increases, but the actual implementation may be affected by supply - demand relationships [3]. 3.1.2 Trading - Type Strategy Recommendations The market is in a trend - rising market with a structure of strong near - term and weak far - term, transitioning from "strong expectation" to "weak reality" verification, with high volatility [23]. 3.1.3 Industry Customer Operation Recommendations - For companies with full shipping capacity or poor booking volume, they can short container shipping index futures to lock in profits. For example, sell EC2604 in the range of 2300 - 2400 [24]. - For shipping companies facing increased empty - sailing or entering the peak season, they can buy container shipping index futures to lock in booking costs. For example, buy EC2604 in the range of 1700 - 1800 [24]. 3.1.4 Basic Data Overview - SCFI rose 11.71% to 1489.19 on March 6, 2026. SCFIS: European route decreased 7.00% to 1463.40 on March 2, 2026. Other comprehensive freight rate indices also showed different changes [24][25]. 3.2 This Week's Important Information 3.2.1 Bullish Information - Geopolitical conflict escalation: The US - Iran conflict has led to the suspension of Middle - East route bookings by most shipping companies, increasing global supply - chain uncertainty [37]. - Shipping companies' collective price increase: Many leading shipping companies have announced significant price increases for the second half of March on the European route, boosting market sentiment [37]. - Cost - support expectation: The conflict has led to a surge in war - risk insurance premiums and fuel costs, providing reasons for shipping companies to levy surcharges or raise base rates [37]. - Delayed expectation of Red Sea resumption: The conflict has postponed the discussion of liner companies' return to the Suez Canal, supporting the premium from longer shipping distances [37]. 3.2.2 Bearish Information - Divergent quotes from shipping companies: Maersk's low opening price in the 12th week of March indicates potential price competition among shipping companies in the off - season, and the implementation of high - price announcements is uncertain [38]. - Inconsistent official statements from Iran: Iran's official statements have shaken the market's expectation of a long - term conflict, causing a sharp drop in the market on Thursday [38]. - Risk of capacity overflow: Shipping capacity from the Middle - East route is being transferred to the European route, which may increase supply pressure in the future [38]. 3.2.3 Next Week's Attention Events - Variables in the Strait's blockade and the possibility of further escalation of the US - Iran conflict [39]. - Further increase in oil prices, leading to higher costs [39]. 3.3 Disk Interpretation 3.3.1 Unilateral Trend and Capital Movement - This week's market fluctuated greatly. On Monday and Tuesday, driven by the US - Iran conflict and shipping companies' price increases, the market was extremely enthusiastic, with funds pouring in to go long. On Wednesday, the market began to diverge, with near - term contracts remaining strong and far - term contracts showing weakness. On Thursday, after Iran's statement, the market tumbled, with the main contract EC2604 having an amplitude of 18% and a trading volume exceeding 20 billion yuan [40]. 3.3.2 Basis and Spread Structure - Basis: The sharp fluctuation of futures and the lagging decline of the spot index (SCFIS) have led to a significant widening and then narrowing of the futures premium. The futures price still contains high geopolitical and price - increase expectations [43]. - Spread: The spread between near - and far - term contracts (e.g., EC2604 - EC2610) has fluctuated sharply and widened, reflecting the market's core contradiction. Near - term contracts are strong, while far - term contracts are weak, forming a steep B - structure [45]. 3.4 Valuation - Compared with last year, the 02 contract price is 12% lower, reflecting a supply - surplus state. Due to the US - Iran conflict, all contracts have a premium compared to the same period last year. The 04 contract has a high premium, while the 10 contract has the highest premium among the far - term 06 - 12 contracts, making it a potential short - selling target after the conflict eases [55].
