2025 年 5 月 12 日 招银国际环球市场 | 市场策略 | 招财日报 每日投资策略 宏观、行业及公司点评 ◼ 中国经济 - 转口贸易和抢出口暂时抵消关税影响 尽管受到关税冲击，中国出口在 4 月仍表现出意想不到的韧性。尽管对美出 口大幅下滑，但对东盟的强劲增长在很大程度上抵消了这一损失，凸显了东 盟作为贸易转口目的地的作用日益增强。进口也远超市场预期，工业原材料 和集成电路进口量激增，可能因为对美国芯片关税豁免政策刺激抢进口。 我们预计关税政策最坏时刻可能过去，但对外贸冲击最严重的时刻尚未到来。 中国到美国的集装箱海运订单量和 PMI 出口订单指数等先行指标均大幅下降。 中美已开启谈判，我们认为将总体关税税率从 145%降至 80%在近期是可以 实现的，但进一步降至 30-40%的长期终端税率可能需要更长时间。 展望未来，我们预计中国商品出口增速将从 2024 年 5.9%放缓至 2025 年 1%， 进口增速可能从 1.1%小幅放缓至 0.5%。我们预计美元/人民币将从 2024 年 底的 7.35 降至 2025 年底的 7.25。（链接） 招银国际研究部 全球市场观察 宏观点评 邮件：resea ...
