Investment Rating of the Report The provided content does not mention the industry investment rating. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Gold prices are trending upward with strong performance, influenced by the risk - aversion sentiment due to the implementation of reciprocal tariffs by the US. The potential US tariff on Swiss gold imports has significantly increased the premium of COMEX gold over London gold. The short - term trend of the US dollar is weak. The US stock index futures face the need for more data to verify the intensification of economic downward pressure, and there is a risk of correction at the current level. The bond market is in a favorable period in early August, but the upward rhythm is relatively tortuous. For various commodities, their prices are affected by factors such as supply - demand relationships, policies, and international situations [14][19][23][31]. Summary by Directory 1.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In Asian ports, affected by typhoons, the impact on ports in Ningbo and Shanghai has not been fully eliminated, and ship schedule delays are still relatively serious. With the weakening of the shipping scale, the pressure on Chinese ports is expected to ease, but potential weather disturbances need attention. The congestion in Port Klang has improved month - on - month, and the risk of rebound should be monitored. In European ports, Antwerp has achieved substantial improvement in port efficiency, while other ports still face the risk of worsening congestion. In North American ports, the overall congestion level is controllable, and subsequent port operation dynamics should be noted [2]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Data点评 - **Asian Ports**: The average waiting time/berthing time of ocean - going container ships in Yangshan, Waigaoqiao, Ningbo, Qingdao, Singapore, and Port Klang are reported, along with the latest number of container ships at anchor/berthed.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The rating for the bond market is "volatile" [4] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Imposing VAT on treasury bond interest is bearish for the bond market in the long run. The theoretical negative impact on the 10Y treasury bond rate is about 10BP, but the actual impact should be less than the theoretical value [1][9] - The policy will cause price differentiation between new and old bond varieties in the short term, and existing bonds will gain a scarcity premium due to the tax - exemption advantage [1][9] - The policy will affect the CTD bonds of treasury bond futures, and the probability of CTD bond switching varies among different contracts [1] - The inter - period spread of treasury bond futures will be affected by the policy, and different strategies are recommended for different contracts [2][16][17] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Impact of Treasury Bond Interest Taxation on CTD Switching - **Policy Purpose**: The main purpose of imposing VAT on treasury bond interest is to improve the bond market price formation mechanism, and increasing fiscal revenue is a relatively secondary goal [8] - **Long - term Impact on the Bond Market**: After taxation, the coupon attractiveness of treasury bonds decreases, institutional bond - allocation willingness declines, and some funds flow to risk assets, leading to a decrease in bond - market sentiment. Newly issued bonds need to increase the coupon rate to compensate for the tax cost [9] - **Impact on CTD Bonds**: The CTD bonds of different contracts have different probabilities of switching to new bonds. For example, the CTD bonds of TL contracts are unlikely to switch; the 09 contracts of T, TF, and TS are also unlikely to switch; T2512 has a certain probability of switching; T2603 and TS2603 have a high probability of switching, and TF2603 has a certain probability of switching [1][12][15] 3.2 Impact of Treasury Bond Interest Taxation on Inter - period Spreads and Strategy Recommendations - **TL Contracts**: The spread of TL09 - 12 contracts has widened. The current spread has basically priced in existing factors, and subsequent trends are more affected by market sentiment. The spread is expected to rise in shock [16] - **T Contracts**: The T09 - 12 spread is high. A narrowing strategy has a certain cost - effectiveness, but continuous narrowing is not recommended. Short - term opportunities can be sought when the bond - market sentiment recovers [17] - **TF and TS Contracts**: The cost - effectiveness of the narrowing strategy for TF and TS09 - 12 contracts is lower than that of T contracts. If the market sentiment is weak, the inter - period spread may rise slightly [20][21] - **12 - 03 Contracts**: The arbitrage strategy for 12 - 03 contracts is not recommended. The 03 contracts have low liquidity, and the CTD bonds of most 2603 contracts have a high probability of switching to new bonds, resulting in a high theoretical central spread [26] - **Long - term Trend**: The central spread of inter - period spreads will gradually rise. The long - term upward logic of treasury bonds is changing, and the cost - effectiveness of going long on treasury bonds has decreased [27]

Report Investment Rating - The report gives a "sideways" rating for crude oil [5] Core Viewpoints - In the short term, oil prices will be affected by the change in the US stance towards Russia, with an upward risk. The potential decline in Russian exports due to the US threat of imposing secondary tariffs on countries buying Russian oil has not been fully priced in. The short - term volatility of oil prices is expected to increase. In the medium to long term, the risk of supply glut remains high [3][21] Summary by Directory OPEC+ to Exit 2.2 million b/d Voluntary Cuts One Year Ahead - On August 3, 2025, OPEC+ decided to increase the production target by 547,000 b/d in September 2025. The eight countries will adjust the voluntary cut exit process flexibly according to market conditions. OPEC+ will exit the 2.2 million b/d voluntary cuts (and a 300,000 b/d production baseline increase for the UAE) one year ahead, with the September production target rising to around 36.3 million b/d [8] - OPEC+ actual production adjustment lags behind the increase in production targets, and the expectation of the peak demand season has supported the slight upward shift of the oil price fluctuation range since July [8] - In June 2025, OPEC+ total production was 34.69 million b/d, slightly lower than the agreement target. The production of 8 voluntary - cut countries increased by 394,000 b/d, with a slower - than - planned increase but a faster growth rate than the previous month. Iraq and Russia's production was still below the target, while Kazakhstan continued to over - produce, and Saudi Arabia's production was significantly higher than the target due to temporary measures [11] - After exiting the 2.2 million b/d voluntary cuts, there are still two layers of cuts to be exited. Saudi Arabia may accept lower oil prices for some time to pressure other members. After the seasonal demand weakens, the risk of inventory build - up is high, and the current baseline expectation is that OPEC+ may pause further production increases after the September increase [15] US Threatens to Increase Sanctions, Risk of Russian Export Disruptions Rises - US President Trump has pressured Russia to reach a cease - fire agreement with Ukraine by August 8, threatening to impose secondary tariffs on countries buying Russian oil. The EU has also announced the 18th round of sanctions against Russia [18] - The "secondary tariff" measure may lead to more complex tariff frictions between the US and China or India, and have a negative impact on the economy and oil demand. Indian refineries have increased crude oil purchases from non - Russian markets. If the tariffs are implemented, Russian exports may decline. However, the market is still skeptical about whether the US will severely crack down on Russian energy exports [19] Investment Advice - Since the third quarter, oil prices have been relatively strong. The supply glut risk is not prominent during the peak demand season, but the contradiction in the supply - demand fundamentals may emerge after the seasonal demand weakens. The US tariff policy may further suppress demand growth expectations, and the long - term risk of supply glut remains high [21]
