1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided 2. Core Viewpoints - The current valuation of the 04 contract is moderately high, with significant influence from pre - holiday funds. After the holiday, it will fluctuate widely under the influence of expectations of price increases, rush shipments, and off - season [3]. - For far - month contracts, it's difficult to anchor the valuation of peak - season contracts, and shipping companies have a large space for price - adjustment operations. It is recommended to operate with caution. The 10 - contract valuation is moderately high, and the strategy of shorting on rallies should be maintained [3]. - For new contracts, referring to historical seasonality and the valuation of old contracts, the reasonable valuation ranges of the 09 and 07 contracts are 1100 - 1300 and 1600 - 1800 points respectively. The subsequent strategy is mainly to short the 09 contract and go long on the 07 contract, but the valuation given by the market is relatively reasonable. The 05 contract is at the off - season switching node, and attention should be paid to the 4 - 5 reverse spread form [3]. - Before the Spring Festival holiday, there are frequent position - closing operations by funds, and the market is expected to fluctuate greatly. It is recommended to operate with caution this week [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Contract Data - EC2604: Yesterday's closing price was 1258.9, up 6.88%.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The 12 - contract follows the delivery logic with little deviation and low positions. MSK lowered the freight rate for the last week to $2300, weaker than the previous flat - expected view, but the PA remained relatively firm at $2400 in the second half of the month [3]. - The 02 - contract has a moderately high valuation, showing short - term sideways movement. In the future, the driving force is upward due to strong and recovering cargo volume. Historically, the freight rate peaks usually occur 4 - 5 weeks before the Spring Festival (corresponding to mid - to late January 2026), but the high capacity in January 2026 may suppress the peak. It is recommended to wait and see at the current valuation [3]. - The short - term downside space of the 04 - contract is small. Attention should be paid to the short - selling opportunities on rallies that may occur when the 04 - contract follows the near - month contract's rise [3]. 3.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Group 2: Core View of the Report - The current EC is in a contradiction between weak reality and strong expectations, and fluctuates greatly under the influence of Middle - East geopolitics and Sino - US tariff policies. In the short term, due to the expectation of spot price cuts, geopolitical relaxation, and the impact of the Sino - US trade war, the market sentiment may be weak. Considering the remaining expectations of the subsequent peak season and long - term contract signing season, opportunities to go long on contracts 12, 02 - 04 on dips can be focused on [2][16] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Futures Market - For EC2510, the closing price was 1129.4 with a 0.74% increase, a basis of - 97.6, trading volume of 4774, and an open interest of 16148 with a decrease of 2204.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - Spot prices are still falling, but the decline is expected to slow down and gradually bottom out in October. Week 39 spot price was 1600 USD (equivalent to 1150 points on the futures market). The WSK's opening quotation for the first week of October (Week 40) was 1400 USD, with a weekly decline of -150, more aggressive than market expectations. OOCL and YML also lowered their prices [2]. - On Tuesday, the far - month futures market rose significantly, driven by expectations of a slowdown in decline and approaching the bottom, as well as sentiment from Sino - US trade negotiations and the China - Europe Railway Express. However, it declined at the end of the session due to the MSK's 1400 opening quotation. The basis of the October contract was -10 points, almost at par with the spot price. The October - December spread was -504.1 (-11), and the December contract's valuation was relatively neutral and slightly high. There are multiple upward drivers in the future, so the December contract is cautiously bullish, with a neutral valuation and mainly driven by trading factors. The settlement price of the February 2026 contract may be high as the Spring Festival in 2026 is late (February 17, 2026), and its current valuation is low. The long - position allocation of the February contract has a higher cost - performance than that of the December contract. To avoid the potential price - cutting risk of shipping companies in October, a long - February and short - April spread trade can be arranged [3].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - Downstream is currently booking shipping space for late August to early September (week 35 - 36). Week 35 has a potential average of $2550 (1800 points), and week 36's current average quote is $2300 (1600 points). MSK has relatively less pressure to receive goods due to significant price cuts, but most shipping companies face pressure to receive goods at the end of the month. September's overall shipping capacity is generally reduced, but on August 26, two sailings on the FE3/FE4 routes of the PA alliance in week 37/38 of September were refilled, increasing the average weekly shipping capacity in September to 310,000 TEU. The overall situation in September is loose, and the subsequent driving force remains weak. However, the valuation in October is gradually approaching the annual low (1250 - 1300), with limited downside potential. Attention can be paid to the long - allocation opportunity of the 12 - contract [1] 3.
