In July, the added value of large - scale industries increased by 5.7% year - on - year and 0.38% month - on - month. From January to July, it increased by 6.3% year - on - year. In July, the total retail sales of consumer goods were 387.8 billion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 3.7%. From January to July, it was 2.84238 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 4.8%. - In the first seven months of 2025, the cumulative increase in social financing scale was 23.99 trillion yuan, 5.12 trillion yuan more than the same period last year; RMB loans increased by 12.87 trillion yuan. At the end of July, M2 increased by 8.8% year - on - year, M1 increased by 5.6%, the stock of social financing scale increased by 9%, and the new RMB loans were - 5 billion yuan (the first negative growth since July 2005). - In early August 2025, key steel enterprises produced 20.74 million tons of crude steel, with an average daily output of 2.074 million tons, a daily - output increase of 4.7% month - on - month; 19.14 million tons of pig iron, with an average daily output of 1.914 million tons, a daily - output increase of 3.2% month - on - month; 20.05 million tons of steel, with an average daily output of 2.005 million tons, a daily - output decrease of 4.1% month - on - month.

Some coal mines in Shaanxi stopped production due to moving faces, resulting in a significant decline in output. - Demand side: The sixth round of price increases for coke was fully implemented this week. The average daily pig iron output was 240,660 tons, a week - on - week increase of 340 tons, providing certain rigid demand support for raw materials. However, with the approaching of major events in September, there are expectations of production restrictions in Shandong, Hebei and other places, and downstream procurement enthusiasm may continue to decline [2]. 3.4 Market Outlook and Investment Strategies - Supply side: Some coal mines resumed production this week, but some reduced production due to various factors. Overall supply recovery was slow. The average daily customs clearance at the Ganqimaodu Port decreased to 1,024 vehicles due to system adjustments, and the impact has now been basically eliminated. - Demand side: Coke production increased slightly, and the procurement rhythm of downstream enterprises slowed down after restocking. Coal mine inventories in some areas began to accumulate, but overall inventories decreased slightly due to pre - sales. - Investment strategies: For single - side trading, focus on range - bound operations; for inter - period arbitrage, adopt a wait - and - see approach; for coking profits, also adopt a wait - and - see approach [31].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The market has weakened expectations for the magnitude of a September interest rate cut, as well as the number and scope of rate cuts within the year. However, a September rate cut remains highly likely, with a probability of over 80%. The precious metals market is still in a rally driven by interest rate cut expectations, though the strength of this rally fluctuates. During the Fed's interest rate cut cycle, gold and silver may experience a divergent trend. Gold may trade sideways or slightly bearish as the need for safe-haven assets diminishes, while silver may strengthen further, indicating a potential catch-up rally. [2] - The US economic data shows that the economy remains highly resilient. The RMB exchange rate has good resilience, and its impact on gold is limited, so it is not a key consideration. [3][26] Summary by Relevant Sections Chapter 1: Market Review - With the increasing expectation of a Fed rate cut, funds may continue to flow back to the US, providing some support for the US dollar. Against this backdrop, the sideways nature of gold may intensify, while silver is expected to continue its sideways-to-bullish trend as industrial demand increases with the anticipation of an economic recovery and the impending rate cut. In the long term, the trends of gold and silver will diverge. [9] Chapter 2: Overview of Important News - US President Trump and Russian President Putin held a meeting, which may inject positive momentum into global political stability. - US retail sales in July increased by 0.5% month-on-month, marking the second consecutive month of significant growth. The year-on-year increase reached 3.9%, and real retail sales adjusted for inflation rose by 1.2% year-on-year, achieving positive growth for the tenth consecutive month. - The number of initial jobless claims in the US last week decreased by 3,000 to 224,000, remaining at the lowest level since November 2021. The number of continuing jobless claims in the previous week dropped to 1.953 million, slightly lower than expected but still hovering near the highest level since 2021. - The US PPI in July soared to 3.3% year-on-year, the highest since February this year, far exceeding the expected 2.5%. The month-on-month increase was 0.9%, the largest since June 2022. - There are internal disagreements within the Bank of Japan. Some board members advocate abandoning the "potential inflation" indicator, which lacks a clear statistical framework, and instead focusing more on overall inflation and inflation expectations. This change may pave the way for a rate hike in October. - Several Fed officials spoke out, seemingly aiming to cool down the escalating expectations of an interest rate cut. - US President Trump urged the Fed to cut interest rates again and threatened to allow legal action against Fed Chairman Powell. He also announced the nomination of conservative economist E.J. Anthony as the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. [13][15][16] Chapter 3: Analysis of Key Influencing Factors 3.1 US Economy and Policy - US retail sales in July increased by 0.5% month-on-month, with the year-on-year increase reaching 3.9%. Real retail sales adjusted for inflation rose by 1.2% year-on-year, achieving positive growth for the tenth consecutive month. The ISM non-manufacturing index in July declined from the previous value of 50.8 to 50.1, falling short of the expected 51.5. New orders almost stagnated, employment contracted, and the price index reached a new high since October 2022. The final value of the US S&P Global Services PMI in July was 55.7, the highest since December 2024. The core PCE price index in June increased by 2.8% year-on-year, higher than the expected 2.7%, reaching the highest level since February. Real consumer spending increased by only 0.1% month-on-month, and disposable income remained flat in June after a decline in May. Overall, the US economy shows high resilience. [17] 3.2 International Economy and Geopolitics - The meeting between US President Trump and Russian President Putin may have a positive impact on global political stability. Trump signed an executive order to impose an additional 25% tariff on goods from India, bringing the total tariff rate to 50%. He also announced a plan to impose approximately 100% tariffs on chips and semiconductors, with exemptions for companies building factories in the US. European leaders issued a joint statement on the Ukraine peace issue, expressing support for Trump's efforts to end the conflict. [22] 3.3 Other Financial Markets - The number of initial jobless claims in the US last week decreased to 224,000, while the number of continuing jobless claims in the previous week dropped to 1.953 million. The ISM non-manufacturing index declined, and the S&P Global Services PMI reached a new high. Crude oil prices are still subject to significant fluctuations due to production cuts, and the improvement in the Middle East situation has led to a sharp decline in oil prices, reducing US inflationary pressures. The prices of domestic and international copper have shown divergent trends. As the expectation of a September rate cut strengthens, high-risk assets such as US stocks, copper, and crude oil may further rally. [23] 3.4 RMB Exchange Rate - The RMB exchange rate generally tracks the movement of the US dollar index. China's PMI data in July declined, and financial data such as social financing fell short of expectations. Consumption and investment data also weakened, indicating significant domestic economic challenges. However, the RMB exchange rate remains resilient, with a low probability of unexpected fluctuations. Therefore, the impact of the RMB exchange rate on gold, whether in the short term or in the long run, is limited and not a key consideration. [26] Chapter 4: Market Outlook and Investment Strategy - Although the US PPI data in July significantly exceeded expectations and retail sales increased substantially month-on-month, the market has only weakened expectations for the magnitude of a September rate cut and the number and scope of rate cuts within the year. A September rate cut remains highly likely. Gold may trade sideways or slightly bearish as the need for safe-haven assets diminishes, while silver may strengthen further, indicating a potential catch-up rally. The synchronous movement and divergent trends of gold and silver coexist, making trading decisions challenging. [29]

Report Information - Report Industry Investment Rating: Not provided - Core View: The liquidity is expected to remain loose in the second half of the year, which may intensify the short - term fluctuations in the bond market and increase the difficulty of bond market operations. The Chinese economy shows resilience, but there is still downward pressure, and counter - cyclical adjustments need to be continuously strengthened [2][3][16] Chapter 1: Market Review - Key Point: The stock - bond seesaw logic has led the long - end bond market to effectively break below the 60 - day moving average. Although the logic becomes less obvious under the background of loose liquidity, it remains the main logic in the bond market [10] Chapter 2: Overview of Important News - Key Point 1: The central bank will implement a moderately loose monetary policy in the next stage and keep liquidity abundant. It has carried out large - scale reverse repurchase operations this month, and there is a possibility of increasing the volume of MLF renewal [13] - Key Point 2: Seven departments including the central bank jointly issued a guidance on financial support for new industrialization, aiming to build a mature financial system by 2027 [15] - Key Point 3: The US has suspended the implementation of a 24% tariff on Chinese goods for 90 days since August 12, 2025, while retaining a 10% tariff [15] - Key Point 4: In July, China's total value of goods trade imports and exports reached 3.91 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 6.7%. Exports were 2.31 trillion yuan, an increase of 8%, and imports were 1.6 trillion yuan, an increase of 4.8% [15] - Key Point 5: In July, M2 increased by about 8.8% year - on - year, M1 increased by about 5.6% year - on - year, and M0 increased by about 11.8% year - on - year [15] Chapter 3: Analysis of Important Influencing Factors 3.1 Economic Fundamentals - Key Point: In July, China's official manufacturing PMI was 49.3, and the comprehensive PMI output index was 50.2. Although the economy shows certain resilience, the economic downward pressure has increased, and counter - cyclical adjustments need to be strengthened [16] 3.2 Policy Aspect - Key Point: As of the end of July, M2 was 329.94 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 8.8%; M1 was 111.06 trillion yuan, a year - on - year increase of 5.6%. The growth rate of social financing stock was 9%, and the new social financing in the month was 1.16 trillion yuan, mainly driven by government bond issuance [18] 3.3 Capital Aspect - Key Point: The cost of funds has decreased since July 25. The central bank will implement a moderately loose monetary policy in the second half of the year. The probability of significant monetary easing such as reserve requirement ratio cuts and interest rate cuts is low, but monetary easing remains an option if necessary [20] 3.4 Supply - Demand Aspect - Key Point: The state will implement the consumer goods trade - in policy throughout the year. The special national debt has supported equipment renewal with 2000 billion yuan, and the issuance of special bonds has accelerated. The market is waiting for the effects and implementation of relevant policies [23] 3.5 Sentiment Aspect - Key Point: The stock - bond ratio has broken through the short - term shock range, indicating that the market's attention to the stock market is greater than that to the bond market. The short - end bonds are more affected by the capital aspect, while the long - end bonds are more affected by the stock - bond seesaw [26] Chapter 4: Market Outlook and Investment Strategy - Key Point: The loose liquidity in the second half of the year may strengthen the stock market fluctuations and the short - term fluctuations in the bond market. The stock - bond seesaw logic and the loose liquidity logic make the bond market operations more difficult [29]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Short - term: Go long at a low level; Medium - term: Bullish [2] Core View - In August, the supply of pork was sufficient as the group farms had a poor slaughter rhythm, while second - fattening farmers and small farmers were highly motivated to sell. The demand was still in the off - season, but low - price pork stimulated consumption, with an increase in the purchase volume of slaughter enterprises and a slight improvement in product sales, yet it was not enough to drive up prices. Suggestions for operation were to go long at a low level, pay attention to stop - profit and stop - loss, with the first support level of the LH2511 contract at 13,700. Farmers were advised to sell for hedging according to their slaughter rhythm [2][20] Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1.
