However, after the trading sentiment stabilizes, the price increase fades, and the support from the spot side weakens, causing the futures price to decline [6][39]. - China's foreign trade level in December 2026 rebounded beyond expectations, with significant improvements in both imports and exports, possibly related to the cancellation of value - added tax export rebates for some commodities and pre - holiday rush exports. China's exports are expected to maintain a high growth rate in 2026 [6][39]. - Spot freight rates for the fourth week were between $2600 - $3200 for large containers. Maersk's large container price in the fourth week was $2700, up $100 from the third week [6][39]. - Geopolitically, there are expectations of an end to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in the first half of 2026, and the expectation of the Red Sea's resumption of navigation has improved.

The effect of the photovoltaic tax - refund policy on rush exports has also quickly weakened after the trading sentiment cooled.
