Group 2: Market News and Geopolitical Situation - Mixed signals from the US and Iran have led to a slight decline in the market's probability prediction of a military strike. Iranian senior officials said efforts to start negotiations with the US are making progress [5]. - According to the Wall Street Journal, the possibility of the US launching an air strike on Iran in the near term is low as the US is still moving air - defense capabilities to the region [5]. - The USS Abraham Lincoln has left the Gulf of Oman and entered the Indian Ocean as part of a retreat [5]. Group 3: EC (European Container) Market - The EC market shows a volatile trend. The spot prices are in a pre - holiday decline, with different adjustments among alliances [6]. - In the GEMINI alliance, Maersk's opening price in WK6 dropped to 2000 - 2100 dollars/FEU and further to 1995 dollars/FEU in WK7, while Hapag - Lloyd maintained 2300 - 2500 dollars/FEU in WK6 and remained stable in WK7 [6]. - In the OA alliance, the price in WK6 slightly fell to around 2500 dollars/FBU, and in WK7, COSCO Shipping in North China ports adjusted to 2200 - 2300 dollars/FBU, with East China ports likely to follow [6]. - In the PA alliance, the price fluctuated between 2200 - 2400 dollars/FEU in WK6, and in WK7, influenced by ONE's WK8 list price of 2000 dollars/FEU, the average price approached 2000 dollars/FEU, with some special prices at 1800 dollars/FEU [6]. - MSC also slightly lowered its prices from WK6 to WK7. Affected by the pre - holiday cargo volume vacuum, all alliances' quotes showed a downward trend [6]. Group 4: Market Analysis and Strategy - This week, the EC market is in a "differentiated pattern under the game between expectation and reality", with a misalignment between futures and spot performance. Futures are supported by multiple expectations and prices have risen, while the spot market remains weak [7]. - The core logic for the futures rise is the rush - shipping expectation due to the cancellation of photovoltaic tax rebates, geopolitical conflicts, and bad weather in Northwest Europe. The spot market is affected by pre - holiday low cargo volume and price cuts by shipping companies [7]. - In the medium and long - term, there is a risk of over - capacity. New ships will be delivered in 2026, and the resumption of the Red Sea route will release hidden capacity, suppressing the freight rate center [7]. - The strategy suggests caution, not chasing high prices. For hedging, it is advisable to hold positions, and for arbitrage, gradually reduce positions. Key factors to track include shipping companies' price increases, Red Sea route resumption signals, and cargo volume data [7]. - In the short - term, the cost - effectiveness of short - selling has decreased. It is recommended to focus on going long on the 06 contract at low levels and short - selling the off - season 10 contract on rebounds [8].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current valuation of 02 is high, and its future performance mainly depends on the spot market trend. In the short term, due to the improvement in the spot market, the market sentiment is positive. However, it is difficult to predict the peak height and time of the freight rate in January and the subsequent price - decline rhythm. Therefore, entry at the current level is not recommended. [2][8] - The valuation of 04 is moderately high, but in the short term, it may follow the spot market or recover the basis. Attention should be paid to shorting opportunities in the near - term continuous high. The far - month contracts are greatly affected by geopolitical factors. Shorting off - season contracts is safer than shorting peak - season contracts. Overall, a positive spread strategy should be adopted, and attention should be paid to shorting opportunities in the 10 contract.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided regarding the report industry investment rating in the given content. 2. Core Views of the Report - The valuation of contract EC2512 is moderately low, and the open interest has significantly decreased. It will gradually follow the delivery logic [3][15]. - For contract EC2604, it is still recommended to adopt a short - selling strategy on rallies [3][15]. - The overall freight volume between China and Europe this year is good, but it is difficult to prove or disprove the so - called "weak peak season" in the short term. Since the Spring Festival is later this year, it is normal for the peak season to start late. Although the high shipping capacity from December to January may suppress the price increase of contract EC2602, an overly pessimistic outlook is not given. The situation of peak - season cargo collection should be observed. Freight rates usually peak 4 - 5 weeks before the Spring Festival. If the rush - season demand is gradually fulfilled, contract EC2602 may have more upside potential [3][15]. 3.

Related News On November 24, the Hamas delegation discussed the Gaza situation with the Egyptian side.

Hamas stated that it had fulfilled its commitments in the first phase of the Gaza cease - fire agreement and demanded that Israel stop violating the cease - fire agreement [5][17].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - In the context of tariff news and the afternoon MSK surcharge, the Wednesday futures market rose significantly. Affected by the previous congestion at European ports in the second half of November, 4 ships will have difficulty returning to Shanghai in time, which may lead to a tight fundamental situation in November. The market's neutral expectation for the freight rate in November is between $2000 - $2200 (1400 - 1540 points). Currently, the valuation of the December contract is moderately high. Driven by multiple positive factors such as subsequent price increases and long - term agreement signings from November to December, it is recommended to adopt a low - buying strategy. The 02 contract is more difficult to value accurately with high uncertainty, and it is expected to follow the trend of the December contract in the next month. The 04 contract is a off - season contract, which fluctuates within a narrow range under the current peak - season logic. Considering the greater supply pressure next year, it is recommended to adopt a high - selling strategy [2].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints - The recent market has been strong due to shipping companies' additional sailings cancellations and good cargo receipts on multiple routes at the end of October. The current valuation of the December contract is high, but due to multiple expected price increase nodes and the upward drive during the long - term contract signing season, the logic of going long on dips for the December contract remains unchanged. There may be short - term downward disturbances, and attention should be paid to possible price cuts by shipping companies in early November. Against the backdrop of geopolitical uncertainties, the February contract may have more upside potential with the arrival of the peak season, but there are also geopolitical fluctuations. The April contract maintains the view of shorting on rallies, but it may follow the near - term contracts and fluctuate strongly during the peak season from November to January and can be gradually short - positioned [2][22].

Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2) Core View of the Report Recently, the futures market has been strong due to shipping companies' additional sailings cancellations and good cargo receipts on multiple routes at the end of October. The current valuation of the December contract is high, but considering the upcoming price increase announcements and the upward momentum during the long - term contract signing season, the strategy of buying on dips for the December contract remains unchanged. There may be short - term downward fluctuations, and attention should be paid to possible price cuts by shipping companies in early November. Against the backdrop of geopolitical uncertainties, the February contract may have more upside potential with the arrival of the peak season, but geopolitical fluctuations also exist. The April contract is recommended to be shorted on rallies, but it may follow the near - term contracts and show a slightly stronger trend during the peak season from November to January, and positions can be gradually established [1]. 3) Summary by Relevant Catalogs Futures Contract Data - **Contract Prices and Changes**: On October 24, 2025, the closing prices of EC2510, EC2512, EC2602, EC2604, and EC2606 were 1136.1, 1793.1, 1582.0, 1171.8, and 1374.8 respectively, with changes of - 0.04%, 0.27%, - 0.06%, 0.03%, and 1.59% [1]. - **Volume and Open Interest**: The trading volumes of EC2512, EC2602, and EC2604 were 21899, 2589, and 1290 respectively, and the trading volume of EC2510 was 932.

Group 1: Investment Rating - There is no information about the industry investment rating in the provided documents. Group 2: Core Viewpoints - Week 43/44 had good cargo receipts. The PA alliance attracted cargo by reducing prices and filled all spaces. OA and MSK accumulated container usage on some routes [2][19]. - In the second week of November, the significant decrease in newly added suspended shipping capacity (240,000 TEU) raised market expectations for shipping companies' price - increase determination.

However, the current valuation of December contracts is high, and they may fluctuate weakly following the spot market recently [2][19]. - Against the backdrop of repeated geopolitical situations, the upward potential of far - month contracts may be greater as the peak season approaches, but geopolitical disturbances are significant [2][19].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The EC is currently in a contradiction between weak reality and strong expectations, and fluctuates greatly under the influence of the Middle East geopolitical situation and Sino - US tariff policies. - In the case of high shipping capacity in week 44, it is expected that the price increase announcements in the first half of November will not be well - implemented. However, there are still upward driving forces at multiple price - increase announcement nodes in the future. - The current valuation of the December contract is high, and it may fluctuate with cargo bookings in the near future. Overall, it is recommended to conduct band trading mainly driven by spot prices. - In the case of repeated geopolitical situations, the far - month contracts have more room for increase, but the geopolitical situation has a greater impact on the 2026 contracts [1]. 3.
