Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided regarding the report industry investment rating. 2. Core View of the Report - The EC of the container shipping European line opened low and fluctuated, with the 08 contract closing at 2065.6 points, a decrease of 2.55%. The latest SCFIS European line on June 9 was 1622.81 points, corresponding to the departure settlement price from 06.02 - 06.08, a 29.5% increase from the previous period, but the increase was less than expected. The current 08 contract basically follows the spot freight rate fluctuations, and whether it can break through the previous high depends on the price increases and implementation in July and August. The market valuation is relatively neutral but the expectation is weak, and it is expected to continue the volatile pattern. Attention can be paid to short - selling opportunities on rallies [1]. 3.
