Group 1: Inflation Data Overview - In June, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 0.1% year-on-year, marking a shift from a decline to an increase, which aligns with market expectations[2] - The core CPI rose by 0.7% year-on-year, the highest since May 2024, indicating a 0.1 percentage point increase from the previous month[2] - The Producer Price Index (PPI) saw a year-on-year decline of 3.6%, the largest drop since August 2023, reflecting weakened domestic demand and overcapacity in certain industries[6] Group 2: Price Movements and Influences - Industrial consumer goods prices rebounded, significantly contributing to the CPI increase, with fuel prices declining by 10.8% year-on-year, a reduction of 2.1 percentage points[6] - Gold and platinum jewelry prices surged by 39.2% and 15.9% respectively, contributing approximately 0.21 percentage points to the CPI increase[6] - The PPI's year-on-year decline was exacerbated by significant drops in coal, steel, and cement prices, with coal prices falling by 21.8%[6] Group 3: Future Outlook and Policy Recommendations - The outlook for pork prices suggests they will remain stable, while energy prices may face downward pressure due to geopolitical risks[2] - The Central Financial Committee's focus on addressing "involution" in competition may help stabilize prices in various sectors, emphasizing the importance of demand-side policies alongside supply-side optimization[2] - To promote a recovery in consumer prices, both supply and demand sides must work together, with a focus on enhancing employment and social security to boost household income[6]

Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is "Positive" and maintained [10]. Core Viewpoints - Copper prices have been leading the industrial metals market, with LME copper expected to surpass $11,000 per ton in May 2024, marking a new high since 2006. From 2000 to July 3, 2025, copper prices have increased by 431%, compared to 58% for aluminum, 319% for lead, and 124% for zinc [2][4][16]. Summary by Sections Long-term Perspective: Metal Prices - Supply and Demand Analysis Framework - The ideal scenario for commodity prices is when demand grows while supply is constrained. Demand determines the industry's ceiling, while supply influences profitability. If demand continues to grow, weak supply responses lead to stronger price performance. Copper is characterized by growing demand and constrained supply [5][20][42]. - Demand is assessed through three dimensions: volume, growth rate, and structure. Volume indicates the industry's ceiling, growth rate reflects industry potential, and structure indicates demand stability. A more diversified demand structure leads to greater stability [5][42]. - Supply is evaluated based on reserves, grade, and mine dispersion. Reserves indicate resource scarcity, grade reflects extraction difficulty, and mine dispersion affects the slope of the cost curve. Generally, lower reserves and grades lead to higher price levels due to increased development costs [5][42][43]. Copper: Growing Demand, Constrained Supply - Copper exhibits the most stable upward demand trend among industrial metals. It is primarily used as a conductor, with over 70% of copper products serving this role. The global electrification trend supports copper demand, aligning closely with global electricity consumption and GDP growth rates [6][21][28]. - On the supply side, copper resources are relatively scarce, with reserves only about one-tenth of iron ore and bauxite. The average grade of copper is lower than that of aluminum, and the industry has the highest mine dispersion, leading to a steep cost curve. New copper mines take over five years to develop, making supply responses to demand changes slow [7][29][31]. Investment Strategy: Focus on Quality Copper Companies - Given the long-term upward trend in copper prices, despite short-term uncertainties in the U.S. economy, it is recommended to invest in copper companies with resource advantages and strong growth expectations. Companies such as Zijin Mining, Luoyang Molybdenum, and Cangge Mining are highlighted as potential investment targets [8][47].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - Recent bond market trends are mainly about compressing various convex points. The 10 - year and 30 - year Treasury yields have faced resistance at key levels since June 11. The 10 - year Treasury yield is expected to fluctuate between 1.6% - 1.65%. In July, the bond market may continue to flatten various spreads, and from August to September, it may further open up space with changes in fundamentals and trade information [2][9][41]. - The money supply is unlikely to drive further decline in bond yields. The bond market has fully priced in the loose money supply since the second quarter, and there is a low probability of the money supply further loosening and inverting with the policy rate. Instead, any marginal change in the money supply could challenge the bond market [2][9]. - Whether the 10 - year Treasury can break through key points in the third quarter depends on fundamentals and trade frictions. The bond market is insensitive to small changes in fundamentals but may react to significant ones. Attention should be paid to the "one - time" pricing of trade friction information in the bond market [9]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Different Types of Bond Bull: Bond Market Seeking Convex Point Returns - Since June 11, the 10 - year Treasury yield has faced resistance at 1.6%, and the 30 - year Treasury yield at around 1.8%. In the nearly one - month trading period, neither could break through downward. The bond market trends from June 11 to July 8 focused on compressing convex points [13]. - **Term Convex Point**: The long - end spreads of interest - rate bonds converged, and the spreads of long - duration credit bonds also compressed significantly. For example, the yields of 20Y and 50Y Treasuries decreased by 6.5bp and 7.5bp respectively, and the spreads of 5Y and 10Y AA + medium - and short - term notes narrowed by 6.4bp and 11.1bp [13]. - **Variety Convex Point**: The overall credit spread compressed to a historical low. Longer - duration and lower - grade varieties performed well, especially Tier 2 and perpetual bonds. For instance, the credit spread of AA - rated urban investment bonds compressed by 6.7bp, and for 5Y Tier 2 bonds, the compression order was AA > AA + > AAA - [13]. - **Liquidity Convex Point**: The difference in liquidity premiums between active and non - active bonds weakened, and the spread between new and old bonds compressed significantly. For example, the spread between the active and previous active 10Y China Development Bank bonds compressed from 4.3bp to 1.3bp [14]. 3.2 Money Fails to Drive the Bond Market to Break Through Key Points - Since the second quarter, the money supply has been loose, but the bond market has fully priced it. There is a low probability of the money supply further loosening and inverting with the policy rate. Due to the rising inter - bank leverage ratio and large - scale lending by major banks, any marginal change in the money supply could challenge the bond market [27]. - Only Treasuries with a term of over 5 years have positive carry in the current loose money supply environment. If the money price tightens marginally to around 1.6%, the range of Treasuries with positive carry will be compressed to those over 7 years. The central bank's desired market interest rate is within a range, and currently, the money price is close to the lower limit, so monetary easing is unlikely to drive further decline in interest rates [30]. 3.3 Bond Market Breaking Through Key Points Depends on Fundamentals and Trade Frictions - Whether the 10 - year Treasury can break through key points in the third quarter depends on fundamentals and trade frictions. The bond market is insensitive to small changes in fundamentals but may react to significant ones. Attention should be paid to the "one - time" pricing of trade friction information in the bond market [9]. - **Fundamental Concerns**: - Real estate sales were relatively resilient in the first half of the year, but there is uncertainty about further recovery in the second half. The transaction area of commercial housing in 30 large and medium - sized cities has been under downward pressure since the end of June [9]. - Consumption growth ultimately depends on urban residents' per capita disposable income and marginal propensity to consume. The "trade - in" policy has temporarily boosted consumption growth, but further growth requires an increase in residents' income or marginal propensity to consume, which are more complex and need further observation [9]. - Trade frictions may lead to "one - time" pricing in the bond market. At the beginning of this round of trade frictions, the bond market declined by 15bp in two trading days and rose by 5bp in one trading day after the Sino - US negotiation on May 12. US President Trump announced that "reciprocal tariffs" will take effect on August 1, and as the grace period approaches, attention should be paid to the "one - time" pricing of trade frictions in the bond market [9].

Group 1 - The report emphasizes the need to regulate low-price disorderly competition among enterprises and promote the orderly exit of backward production capacity, aiming to address the issue of "involution" in market competition [2][8] - Historical cases show that supply-side clearance driven by policy typically begins with market expectations, while the main upward trend requires improvements in industry structure to support cash flow and balance sheet recovery [8][10] - The current round of overcapacity is primarily concentrated in mid- and downstream industries, unlike the previous cycle which was focused on upstream resource sectors [9][10] Group 2 - The report suggests focusing on two main strategies: industries that have experienced prolonged supply-side clearance and are likely to see improvements in supply-demand dynamics, and industries that may benefit from policy-driven accelerated clearance [10][11] - For natural clearance, the report recommends monitoring demand-side indicators for upstream industries and supply-side indicators for mid- and downstream sectors, highlighting sectors such as agricultural chemicals, general machinery, pharmaceuticals, and components [10] - For policy-driven clearance, attention should be given to industries mentioned in recent policies aimed at addressing "involution," including photovoltaic, lithium batteries, automobiles, and cement [10][17]

- The report discusses the performance of the "Micro-cap Stock Index," highlighting its significant drawdowns and subsequent rapid recoveries. For instance, the index experienced a maximum drawdown of 50% between January and February 2024, followed by a 99% increase over 20 months (April 2022 to December 2023) and a 95% increase over 10 months (August 2024 to June 2025) [9] - The "Micro-cap Stock Index" is constructed with a focus on small-cap stocks, emphasizing their trading attributes. The index's returns are primarily driven by a systematic rebalancing process that removes overvalued stocks, effectively locking in profits. On average, 42 stocks are removed monthly, with 94% of the months showing positive returns (average monthly return: 18.32%) for the index, while the removed stocks often underperform in the subsequent month (average return: -0.63%) [21][25] - The elasticity of the "Micro-cap Stock Index" is attributed to its alignment with A-share market themes. Stocks with low market capitalization and low prices often exhibit strong continuity, driving the index's upward momentum. This thematic-driven approach ensures that the index benefits from emerging investment opportunities in sectors like solid-state batteries, stablecoins, and innovative pharmaceuticals [29][34][69] - The report contrasts the "Micro-cap Stock Index" with its opposite, the "Large-cap Trend Stocks," which are characterized by high liquidity and large trading volumes. For example, the PCB sector recorded a single-day trading volume of 6.86 billion yuan on July 8, 2025, highlighting the divergence in market dynamics between micro-cap and large-cap stocks [39][40]

Investment Rating - The report maintains a "Buy" rating for Haier Smart Home [12] Core Viewpoints - Profit margin improvement is a continuous evolution direction for Haier, with a steady upward trend in profit margins observed in recent years. The report aims to systematically assess the potential and space for Haier's long-term profit margin enhancement by addressing three core questions: what factors have historically led to Haier's relatively low profit margins, what driving forces exist for profit improvement during the transformation process, and how much room for profit margin enhancement is there in the future [4][20] Summary by Relevant Sections Current Profit Margin Structure - Haier's overall gross margin has shown a year-on-year improvement since 2020, with a projected gross margin of 27.8% in 2024. The gross margins for various business segments in 2024 are expected to be 30.8% for refrigerators, 31.4% for washing machines, 23.9% for air conditioners, 29.3% for kitchen appliances, 41.6% for water appliances, and 8.6% for channel services, all reflecting year-on-year increases [23][25] Factors Leading to Low Profit Margins - The company's long-standing profit structure features "high gross margin + high expense ratio + low net profit margin." This is primarily due to differences in sales models compared to competitors, with air conditioning business still in the optimization phase and a significant investment in overseas acquisitions since 2015 impacting overall profitability [7][49][71] Drivers of Profit Margin Optimization - Since 2019, Haier's profitability has entered a phase of continuous improvement, with gross and expense sides contributing approximately 50% each to the incremental growth. The company is leveraging AI tools for digital transformation, which has already shown significant efficiency improvements. The domestic high-end brand Casarte has established a leading position, while overseas operations are undergoing organizational changes and production facility optimizations [8][10] Future Profit Margin Elasticity - Through digital transformation, product premiumization, and supply chain optimization, Haier aims to enhance profitability. Projections for 2024 suggest a long-term steady-state gross margin could rise to between 29.97% and 32.30%, with the expense ratio potentially optimizing to between 17.34% and 20.07%, leading to a net profit margin increase to between 10.85% and 14.08%, corresponding to an additional performance release of 56%-106% [9][10] Investment Recommendations - The report suggests seizing opportunities with this quality growth leader, as Haier's profitability has gradually improved since 2019. The domestic high-end market position of Casarte is expected to drive product structure optimization, while overseas business restructuring and efficiency improvements are anticipated to support continued growth. The company is expected to achieve net profits of 21.034 billion, 23.807 billion, and 26.207 billion yuan in 2025, 2026, and 2027, respectively, with corresponding P/E ratios of 11.4, 10.1, and 9.2 [10][18]
