On the news front, Maersk Line has lowered the W46 Shanghai-Felixstowe and Ningbo-Antwerp quotes to 2000/3500 (previously 2600/4500), Shanghai-Antwerp quotes to 2320/4000, and opened cabin W47 Shanghai-Felixstowe and Shanghai-Antwerp quotes at 2320/4000. This price adjustment exceeded market expectations.
Guotai Junan Futures pointed out that due to the current market's divergence between cargo volume perception and price trends, the market was originally skeptical about the resilience of this round of airlines' price increases. Maersk Line's substantial reduction in freight rates will directly impact the market's expectation of the realization of this round of price increases. However, it is still uncertain whether other airlines will quickly follow suit in reducing prices. In addition, there is a strong expectation in the market for airlines to announce a new round of price increases for December, as has been the case in previous years.
