According to the news, on November 25, the European shipping index's main contract fell rapidly in the afternoon and finally came to a standstill, falling by more than 8% this morning. Jianxin Futures believes that the sharp drop may be due to news that a cease-fire agreement is about to be reached, leading to a cease-fire in the Middle East and the resumption of navigation in the Red Sea; expectations for price increases in December have cooled, and Maersk's online quotes for the first week of December fell to 5,200 US dollars. Previously, most airlines had risen to the level of 6,000 US dollars, which may trigger market expectations that the December ships' price increases will be difficult to implement and require further price cuts to pick up goods.
According to Guangfa Futures, the SCFIS European Index released after the market yesterday was 2861.6 points, up 3.2% year on year. The growth rate has slowed sharply. At the same time, the current SCFI Composite Index and SCFI European Index announced last Friday continued to decline, making it two consecutive periods of decline. Since the SCFI index is somewhat forward-looking compared to the SCFIS index, the decline in the index also means that airline prices are beginning to weaken, and the market expects the drop in spot prices to hit rapidly.
