Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - On Wednesday, the freight index (European line) futures prices dropped significantly. The main contract EC2510 fell 5.57%, and the far - month contracts fell between 1 - 2%. The latest SCFIS European line settlement freight rate index was 2297.86, down 62.38 points from last week, a 2.7% decline. Spot indicators continued to fall. The "price war" among leading shipping companies and the early release of cargo volume in the second quarter led to a supply - demand mismatch, pushing down futures prices. Tariff measures increased global trade uncertainty, and although the US consumer end showed resilience, inflation may rise. China's counter - measures against the EU added to trade tensions. The demand for the freight index (European line) was expected to be weak, with large price fluctuations, but the rapid recovery of spot prices might drive futures prices up in the short term.
