Macro - Hainan's customs closure represents a systematic breakthrough rather than a simple upgrade of the free trade zone, impacting four main areas: creating a consumer ecosystem that integrates culture, sports, commerce, and tourism; exploring new channels for foreign investors to enter the domestic market, which is a key step in the internationalization of the RMB; continuously optimizing the institutional environment, business conditions, and tax incentives, significantly enhancing attractiveness to global investors; and transforming trade structure towards high value-added directions, upgrading trade facilitation, and actively aligning with high-standard economic and trade rules [4]. Steel - The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology revised the "Steel Industry Normative Conditions (2015 Revision)" on February 8, 2025, leading to the "Steel Industry Normative Conditions (2025 Edition)," with a focus on orderly exit of outdated production capacity. This aligns with the broader policy goal of supply-side reform adapting better to demand changes, suggesting that the profitability of the steel sector is expected to recover to historical average levels, and the price-to-book ratio of steel stocks may also recover accordingly [4]. - On July 25, the exchange announced that non-futures company members or clients could not exceed a daily opening position of 500 lots for the JM2509 contract and 2000 lots for other contracts, advising caution against significant price fluctuations in futures [4]. Non-ferrous Metals - Domestic port copper concentrate inventory has reached a near four-year low for the same period, indicating a tightening supply situation. Demand is expected to be weak in Q3, leading to short-term price fluctuations. However, with the anticipated recovery in demand for power grids and air conditioning in Q4, along with the gradual resolution of trade conflicts, copper prices are expected to rise in Q4 [5][6]. Basic Chemicals - The chemical industry is undergoing a "de-involution" process, with a focus on supply-side reforms driven by the exit of outdated production capacity. Key sub-sectors such as refining, PTA/PX, fertilizers, pigments and dyes, organic silicon/industrial silicon, soda ash, and chlor-alkali/PVC are highlighted for their supply-side reform and capacity elimination, with leading companies likely to benefit [6]. Agriculture, Forestry, Animal Husbandry, and Fishery - In Q2, production capacity saw a slight recovery, with average weights and inventory levels increasing. As of July 25, the national average price for external three-yuan pigs was 14.15 yuan/kg, down 0.84% week-on-week, while the average price for 15 kg piglets was 31.89 yuan/kg, down 0.22% week-on-week. The average weight of market pigs was 128.48 kg, down 0.35 kg week-on-week, and the national frozen product inventory rate was 14.46%, up 0.1 percentage points [7]. Renewable Energy and Environmental Protection - In the photovoltaic sector, the price support measures and the feasibility of the "storage" plan will determine the stock price trends of related companies. Although trading limits on "coking coal" and "lithium carbonate" have begun to be implemented, the theme of "de-involution" remains strong in the short term. In the Yarlung Tsangpo River hydropower sector, the total investment for downstream hydropower projects is approximately 1.2 trillion yuan, with a focus on the GIL (Gas Insulated Transmission Line) segment, which has an investment scale comparable to that of hydropower turbines [8]. Pharmaceuticals - The recent collection policy is reshaping the industry ecosystem, with high-quality companies facing value reassessment. The innovative pharmaceutical sector is supported by multi-level policies, indicating strong growth momentum [8].
