Domestically, China's credit and financing data in April were lower than expected, indicating weakening domestic demand, but exports far exceeded expectations, and the implementation of the policy of significantly reducing tariffs between China and the US has weakened the impact of US trade policy on the domestic economy and boosted domestic risk appetite in the short term.

The main contract of COMEX gold futures fell below the $3200/ounce mark, and the main contract of Shanghai gold fell more than 2% to 748 yuan/gram. Weaker - than - expected US inflation data supported the US dollar.

Gold is under short - term pressure, but the weakening of the US dollar's credit margin provides structural support for the gold price, and the value of gold allocation remains.

Black Metals - Steel: On Wednesday, the domestic steel futures and spot markets rebounded significantly, and the market trading volume was at a low level. The substantial progress in the Sino - US tariff issue and the lower - than - expected US CPI data in April increased market risk appetite. Fundamentally, the construction steel inventory of Steel Valley Network continued to decline by 270,000 tons, and the apparent consumption increased slightly. It is currently the off - season for steel demand, and the demand decline trend may continue. In terms of supply, steel mills' profits are considerable, and the daily output of hot metal is at a high level this year, but the output of finished products has decreased recently. In the off - season, the subsequent demand may not be sufficient to support the current high output. It is advisable to view the short - term steel market with an interval - oscillation idea [6]. - Iron Ore: On Wednesday, the futures and spot prices of iron ore rebounded significantly. Steel mills' profits are considerable, and the hot - metal output is at a high level in the short term, but it is likely to decline in the future, and there are significant differences in the market regarding the decline path. In terms of supply, the iron - ore shipment volume decreased by 215,000 tons month - on - month, and the arrival volume decreased by 951,000 tons month - on - month. Considering that the second quarter is the traditional peak season for iron - ore shipments, the shipment and arrival volumes will increase later. The port inventory increased by 1.41 million tons on Monday compared with last Friday. The iron - ore price is expected to be strong in the short term [6]. - Silicon Manganese/Silicon Iron: On Wednesday, the spot price of silicon iron remained flat, and the spot price of silicon manganese rebounded slightly. The output of construction steel and hot - rolled coils of Steel Valley Network continued to decline, and the demand for ferroalloys remained weak.

Energy and Chemicals - Crude Oil: EIA data shows that the US crude - oil inventory increased by 3.45 million barrels last week, the largest increase since March. Tensions over the Iranian nuclear issue may increase oil - price volatility. The oil price may be in a correction phase recently, and the 50 - day moving average will form resistance at around $63.9 [9]. - Asphalt: The asphalt price remains stable at a high level following the oil price, and the overall supply is at a low level.

It will continue to fluctuate at a high level following the crude oil in the short term [9]. - PX: After the increase of the crude - oil center, the PX outer - market price remains at around $840. With more PX maintenance and the increase of PTA price, PX rises in resonance with the polyester chain. The PX supply will be tighter later, and it will remain strongly oscillating in the short term [9]. - PTA: The basis first rose and then fell. The downstream leading manufacturers' statement of joint production cuts may hit the PTA demand. The PTA price has risen too fast recently, and the downstream production and sales have diverged. It is likely to have a phased correction, and then wait for the stabilization of the crude - oil price and the improvement of the terminal situation [10]. - Ethylene Glycol: Ethylene glycol has risen significantly due to the early maintenance of large plants, and the port inventory has decreased slightly. It may start the de - stocking channel, but it may have a phased correction in the short term due to downstream production cuts [10]. - Short - Fiber: The polyester price remains oscillating at a high level following the crude - oil price, and the short - fiber price has rebounded significantly. The short - fiber will continue to be strong in the short term [10]. - Methanol: The methanol in Jiangsu Taicang continues to be strong.

Non - Ferrous Metals - Copper: In April, the production and sales of new - energy vehicles increased significantly. The copper - ore processing fee has declined recently, and the decline rate has slowed down.
