Shipping company space continues to be tight, with strong support below the container shipping index (European line)

Jinshi Futures, April 25, the main contract of the container shipping index (European line) opened sharply higher in early trading, with the highest rise to 2836.4 points, up more than 8%. SDIC Anxin Futures said that the current shipping company space continues to be tight, and the box conditions of major companies have appeared to varying degrees of problems. Some shipping companies in Shanghai and Ningbo have a shortage or shortage of 40-foot cabinets. The early stage of the strong rise in freight rates is better, and the support under the main contract is strong. In late May, some voyage capacity was still pending, partly due to potential delays in eastbound ships or the impact of empty shifts in the early stage of the route. It is necessary to continue to pay attention to whether the airline's weekly shipments will shrink from the current plan, or become a driving factor for the next round of price support. In addition, next Monday (April 29) EC2404 will be delivered, so the margin ratio of EC2404 will be increased to 30% from today (April 25), and the position limit for non-futures company members, overseas special non-brokerage participants, and customers will be 120 lots (unilateral).
