Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the second week of June, Sino-US economic and trade negotiations further clarified the agreement framework, releasing positive macro signals. Meanwhile, the impact of heavy precipitation expanded, leading to a marginal decline in the apparent demand for construction-related investment products. In terms of inflation, the decline in food prices continued to widen. In terms of exports, affected by the restoration of North American route capacity and the decline in freight rates, the SCFI index decreased week-on-week this week, while the overall demand in the container shipping market remained stable. In the industrial sector, influenced by supply contraction regulation and expectations, the prices of some industrial products slightly recovered. Attention should be paid to the support of the demand side for the sustainability of price increases. In terms of investment, the impact of the rainy season in the South continued to expand this week, resulting in a slowdown in the release of downstream investment demand, and the apparent demand for rebar continued to decline week-on-week. In the real estate sector, after the impact of the Dragon Boat Festival ended, the transactions of new and second-hand houses increased week-on-week this week, and the trading sentiment improved [4][38]. - For the bond market, the current endogenous economic momentum remains stable, with limited short-term marginal changes. The market may focus more on the rhythm and intensity of the pro-growth policies in the third quarter. Policy expectation games may bring trading opportunities. The year-on-year export growth rate in May slowed down compared with April. The data in May did not fully reflect the benefits of the easing of negotiations due to the impact of the tariff incident in the first half of the month. From a high-frequency perspective, the year-on-year growth rate of port container throughput in early June continued to narrow, and it decreased week-on-week compared with the last week of May. The export elasticity brought about by "rush exports" needs further observation. Domestically, it is the traditional off-season in the second quarter, and there are few fundamental increments, making it difficult to provide trend guidance for the bond market in the short term. The market may focus more on the future policy implementation methods and rhythm, including whether additional consumption subsidies will be added and the implementation time of policy-based financial instruments. Considering the slow endogenous economic momentum in the second quarter, a new batch of pro-growth policies in the third quarter is expected to be deployed more quickly. Around the middle of the year, attention can be paid to the trading opportunities brought about by policy expectation games and potential bond market fluctuations [4][39]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Inflation-related - The decline in food prices widened. This week (June 9 - June 13), the average wholesale price of pork nationwide announced by the Ministry of Agriculture decreased by 1.45% week-on-week, with an expanding decline. The vegetable price decreased by 0.09% week-on-week, turning from an increase to a decrease. This week, the 200-index of agricultural product wholesale prices and the wholesale price index of vegetable basket products decreased by 0.45% and 0.51% week-on-week respectively, indicating a wider decline in food prices [10]. Import and Export-related - The shipping market declined from its high this week, with different trends among routes. The CCFI index increased by 7.6% week-on-week, while the SCFI decreased by 6.8% week-on-week, ending a four-week upward trend. According to the Shanghai Shipping Exchange, the export container shipping market declined after continuous increases this week, with different trends among routes. Among them, the freight rate of the Shanghai Port to European basic ports route increased by 10.6% week-on-week. The transportation demand on the North American route was stable this week, but the supply of shipping capacity continued to increase, alleviating the previous tight cabin situation and causing the freight rate to decline from its high. In terms of port data, in the week from June 2 to June 8, the port's container throughput and cargo throughput decreased by 1.9% and 7.9% week-on-week respectively, with a year-on-year increase of 0.1% and 0.8% respectively. The week-on-week decline expanded, and the year-on-year increase narrowed. Overall, the port operation rhythm slowed down marginally [13]. - The increase in the BDI index expanded. This week, the average value of the BDI index increased by 18.2% week-on-week, and the CDFI index increased by 3.2% week-on-week. The increase in the number of Indonesian coal futures contracts for end-of-month loading in the Pacific market and the improvement in demand drove up the freight rate. The stable and increasing demand for South American grain also supported the freight rate, pushing the BDI to rise rapidly [13]. Industry-related - The price of thermal coal continued to decline, with a narrowing decline. This week, the price of thermal coal (Q5500) at Qinhuangdao Port decreased by 0.04% week-on-week, compared with a 0.29% decrease the previous week, indicating a continued weak coal price. In terms of demand, due to high temperatures in many places, the residential electricity load generally increased, and the downstream replenishment demand continued to be released. However, the flood season in the South and the increase in hydropower squeezed some thermal power demand, resulting in a limited increase in the daily consumption of terminal power plants. In terms of price, although the downstream replenishment demand was released, it was mainly fulfilled through long-term contracts, so the port coal price was not significantly boosted [17]. - The price of rebar increased week-on-week. This week, the spot price of rebar (HRB400 20mm) increased by 0.4% week-on-week, compared with a 0.65% decrease the previous week. The blast furnace operating rate of 247 steel mills was 83.4%, a decrease of 0.15 percentage points week-on-week, indicating a continued reduction in production. The apparent demand for rebar decreased by 3.7% week-on-week, compared with a 8.1% decrease the previous week, continuing to decline marginally. During the traditional off-season for steel consumption, affected by heavy precipitation in the South and other factors, the construction demand slowed down marginally. The supply contraction speed was relatively slower than the demand decline, so the steel price continued to be slightly under pressure [17]. - The increase in copper prices expanded. This week, the average prices of Yangtze River Nonferrous copper and LME copper increased by 0.7% and 0.3% week-on-week respectively, continuing to rise. Positive signals were released during the Sino-US negotiation in London this week, and the expectation of a Fed rate cut in September was strengthened, supporting the continued rise of copper prices [21]. - The spot price of glass remained basically stable. This week, affected by the precipitation weather, the market procurement demand was average. Some local manufacturers reduced prices to clear inventory, and market sentiment became more cautious. However, the current supply and demand were basically balanced, and there was still support from rigid demand, so most enterprises kept their quotes stable [21]. Investment-related - The cement price turned from a decline to an increase, mainly driven by the expected supply contraction in East China. This week, the weekly average of the cement price index increased by 1.1% week-on-week, compared with a 1.1% decrease the previous week. The implementation of the kiln shutdown plan by cement enterprises in June, coupled with the increase in clinker prices, drove up the cement prices in some downstream regions. However, from the perspective of supply and demand, with the increasing rainy weather, construction was relatively restricted, and the support of demand for price increases needs further observation [25]. - The sales of new houses in 30 cities showed marginal improvement. From last Friday to this Thursday (June 6 - June 12), the transaction area of new houses in 30 cities was 1.758 million square meters, an increase of 9.5% week-on-week and 10.5% year-on-year, turning from a decline to an increase. After the Dragon Boat Festival, the sales momentum of new houses recovered marginally [28]. - The transaction of second-hand houses increased week-on-week and turned positive year-on-year. This week (June 6 - June 12), the transaction area of second-hand houses in 17 cities was 2.013 million square meters, an increase of 30.1% week-on-week and 23.3% year-on-year. Attention should be paid to the intensity of the seasonal sales rush as the end of the half-year approaches [28]. Consumption - The year-on-year increase in passenger car retail sales expanded in early June. From June 1 to June 8, passenger car retail sales increased by 19% year-on-year (the full-month year-on-year increase in May was 13%), and decreased by 12% month-on-month [33]. - Affected by the geopolitical situation, crude oil prices rose rapidly. As of Friday, the prices of Brent crude oil and WTI crude oil increased by 11.7% and 13.0% week-on-week respectively, showing a strong upward trend. This week, positive signals from Sino-US negotiations, tightened US sanctions on Iran, and the tense geopolitical situation in the Middle East may have driven up oil prices [34].
