日经中文网· 2025-06-20 07:30
Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the divergence of Hong Kong's interest rates from those of the United States, highlighting the implications of this discrepancy on the local economy and financial markets [1][4]. Group 1: Interest Rate Dynamics - Despite the peg to the US dollar, Hong Kong's interest rates are declining, with the gap between Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (HIBOR) and the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) reaching a record high [1]. - The 1-month HIBOR is currently around 0.5%, the lowest level in approximately three years, while the SOFR is about 4.3% [1]. - The divergence in interest rates has persisted for over a month, attributed to a lack of active arbitrage trading due to trends of de-dollarization [3]. Group 2: Market Reactions and Implications - The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) intervened in the currency market by selling and buying US dollars, which increased market liquidity and led to a sharp decline in interest rates [2]. - Major real estate companies in Hong Kong, such as Henderson Land and Sun Hung Kai Properties, have seen their stock prices rise by approximately 20% since the HKMA's intervention [4]. - There are concerns that low interest rates may not last long, as the HKMA may need to buy Hong Kong dollars to stabilize the currency, potentially leading to a rise in HIBOR [4]. Group 3: Broader Economic Context - The article highlights the contradiction of Hong Kong's monetary policy being tied to the US economy while facing local economic challenges, such as a downturn [1][4]. - The significance of the linked exchange rate system is diminishing amid a declining trust in the US dollar, which may lead to adjustments in Hong Kong's monetary policy [4].

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The soybean and meal market is influenced by the US soybean oil, showing a strong trend, but pressure from South America remains. The domestic soybean meal demand is good, and inventory accumulation is expected. For sugar, the global supply increase expectation drags down the raw sugar price, and the domestic sugar price is expected to follow the raw sugar price passively. The short - term trend of oils and fats is affected by geopolitical conflicts and may run strong, but there is a risk of high - level correction. The corn market has a tight domestic supply, and the futures are expected to fluctuate at a high level. The pig market still faces pressure due to relatively high inventory. The peanut market may decline due to the expected increase in planting area. The egg market may have a weak spot price in the short - term, and the far - month contracts may rise under certain conditions. The apple market is expected to have a slightly stronger and stable futures price in June. The cotton market is expected to fluctuate in the short - term and decline in the medium - to - long - term [3][11][19][27][31][35][44][48][56] Summary by Related Catalogs Soybean/Meal - **External Market**: CBOT soybean index rose 0.26% to 1074 cents/bu, and CBOT soybean meal index rose 0.44% to 294.3 US dollars/short ton [2] - **Related Information**: As of June 15, EU 2024/25 soybean imports reached 13.58 million tons, up from 12.65 million tons last year; rapeseed imports were 6.91 million tons, up from 5.45 million tons last year.

Domestic demand for soybean meal is good, and inventory accumulation is expected [3] - **Trading Strategy**: Short - term, wait and buy at low points; for arbitrage and options, wait and see [6] Sugar - **External Market**: ICE US sugar fell, with the main contract down 0.49 (2.89%) to 16.45 cents/lb [7] - **Important Information**: In the next 30 days, most sugarcane areas in Guangxi will have more precipitation, which is beneficial to sugarcane growth. Brazilian hydrous ethanol prices are at an 8 - month low, and the average national alcohol - to - gasoline ratio is 67.7%. In May, Brazilian ethanol sales reached 2.99 billion liters.

In the first two weeks of June, Brazil exported 1.53 million tons of sugar and molasses, down 12.8% year - on - year [8][9][10] - **Logic Analysis**: The raw sugar price is dragged down by the expected increase in global supply, and the domestic sugar price is expected to follow the raw sugar price passively [11] - **Trading Strategy**: Passively follow the raw sugar price, expect short - term weakness, and sell high. For arbitrage, wait and see; for options, use out - of - the - money ratio spread options [12][13][14] Oils and Fats - **External Market**: The overnight CBOT US soybean oil main price fell 0.89% to 54.69 cents/lb; the BMD palm oil main price rose 0.74% to 4096 ringgit/ton [16] - **Related Information**: Anec expects Brazilian soybean exports in June to reach 14.37 million tons.

Wait and see for the 07 corn. For arbitrage, operate the corn - starch spread, buy 09 starch and short 09 corn when the spread is low. Hold long corn and short 07 or 09 corn.

On June 17, the national average wholesale price of pork was 20.23 yuan/kg, down 0.7% [31] - **Logic Analysis**: The market supply pressure is alleviated, but the inventory is still high, and the upward space of futures is limited [31] - **Trading Strategy**: Short - term short operation. For arbitrage and options, wait and see [32] Peanut - **Important Information**: Peanut prices in different regions are stable. The arrival volume of peanut oil mills is different, and the peanut oil price is strong, but there is room for negotiation. Peanut meal sales are weak.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - **Precious Metals**: The continuous escalation of the Middle - East geopolitical conflict increases market risk - aversion demand, but the sharp strengthening of the US dollar index exerts pressure. Weak US retail sales and industrial output data in May strengthen the Fed's interest - rate cut expectation. The global central banks' gold - buying trend remains unchanged, supporting the gold price center in the long - term. With a mix of bullish and bearish fundamentals, short - term focus is on the evolution of the geopolitical situation and signals of monetary policy shift [3]. - **Copper**: The most important macro event in the short - term is the Fed's interest - rate decision. Although the interest rate is mostly priced in, the statement after the decision may affect copper prices. High prices above 78,000 yuan per ton may lead to a negative feedback and a situation of high prices but low trading volume. The position of Shanghai copper has declined from a high of 580,000 lots to below 550,000 lots. Copper prices are expected to fluctuate around 78,000 yuan per ton [15]. - **Zinc**: The supply side shows a slow - paced relaxation, as indicated by the rising TC and the month - on - month increase in zinc ingot production. However, the transfer from ore to ingot takes time, and the relaxation at the ore end has not fully translated to the ingot end. The demand side remains stable but weak in the traditional off - season. Short - term focus is on macro data and market sentiment, as well as inventory data [32]. - **Aluminum**: The supply of electrolytic aluminum is approaching the industry's upper limit with little change. The demand from end - user factories is significantly declining in the off - season, but the processing sector's start - up rate has only slightly decreased, with some inventory accumulation. The low inventory and continuous de - stocking are the core factors supporting aluminum prices in the short - term, with prices likely to be volatile and bullish in the short - term and bearish in the long - term [46]. - **Alumina**: The Axis mine in Guinea has not resumed production, and there is a possibility of short - term (1 - 3 months) production suspension. Although the overall impact on annual alumina supply is limited, there may be monthly shortages, pushing up ore prices. Alumina has shifted to inventory accumulation, and prices are under pressure [47]. - **Cast Aluminum Alloy**: The raw material market for scrap aluminum is tight, leading to high costs. The supply capacity is relatively excessive, and the demand growth may slow down in the second half of the year. The futures contract shows a BACK structure [48]. - **Nickel**: The price of Philippine laterite nickel ore remains firm, squeezing the profits of downstream products. The price of nickel iron has been further reduced, and the demand from some steel mills has weakened, leading to inventory accumulation. The stainless - steel market is sluggish, and the price of nickel sulfate has also decreased. The spread between nickel sulfate and pure nickel is widening [74]. - **Tin**: Tin prices have remained stable recently and are expected to continue so in the next week under the assumption of no major changes in the macro and fundamental aspects. Due to falling inventory, slower - than - expected recovery of Burmese tin mines, and decent short - term demand, tin prices may be slightly bullish with limited upside space [90]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: The spot market for the lithium - battery industry is weak. The supply side sees stable lithium ore prices but a downward shift in the lithium carbonate market price. The demand side shows no significant improvement, and the terminal market has mixed performance [104]. - **Silicon Industry Chain**: The market supply of the silicon industry chain is generally loose, and the furnace - opening expectations are gradually being realized. The supply side is slightly relaxed, and the demand side is stable. The polysilicon market has an increased production plan in July, while the downstream silicon wafer and battery - cell markets have reduced production and mainly make rigid purchases [118]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Precious Metals - **Price Data**: SHFE gold and silver futures prices, COMEX gold price and gold - silver ratio are presented [4]. - **Correlation Analysis**: Relationships between gold and the US dollar index, gold and US Treasury real interest rates are shown [9][10]. - **Inventory and Fund Position**: SHFE and COMEX gold and silver inventories, as well as long - term gold and silver fund positions are provided [13][14]. Copper - **Futures Data**: The latest prices, daily changes, and daily change rates of Shanghai copper futures (main contract, continuous, etc.) and LME copper 3M are given [16]. - **Spot Data**: Spot prices, price changes, and spreads of different copper brands in various regions are presented [21]. - **Import and Processing Data**: Copper import profit and loss, copper concentrate TC, and copper scrap - refined copper price difference are provided [25][28]. - **Warehouse Receipt and Inventory Data**: Shanghai copper and international copper warehouse receipts, and LME copper inventory data are shown [29][30]. Zinc - **Futures Data**: The latest prices, daily changes, and daily change rates of Shanghai zinc futures and LME zinc are provided [33]. - **Spot Data**: Spot prices, price changes, and spreads of different zinc products in various regions are presented [38]. - **Inventory Data**: Shanghai zinc and LME zinc warehouse receipts and inventory data are shown [42]. Aluminum - **Futures Data**: The latest prices, daily changes, and daily change rates of Shanghai aluminum, LME aluminum, and aluminum - related futures contracts are provided [50]. - **Spot Data**: Spot prices, price changes, and spreads of aluminum in different regions, as well as LME aluminum spot and spreads are presented [57][62]. - **Inventory Data**: Shanghai aluminum and LME aluminum warehouse receipts and inventory data, as well as alumina warehouse receipt data are shown [68]. Nickel - **Futures Data**: The latest prices, changes, and trading volume of Shanghai nickel and LME nickel futures, as well as stainless - steel futures, are provided [75]. - **Spot and Inventory Data**: Nickel spot prices, warehouse receipt inventories, and nickel ore prices and inventories are presented [80][82]. - **Profit Data**: Profit margins of nickel - related products such as MHP - produced electrolytic nickel, sulfuric - nickel production, and stainless - steel production are shown [84][87]. Tin - **Futures Data**: The latest prices, daily changes, and daily change rates of Shanghai tin futures and LME tin are provided [91]. - **Spot Data**: Spot prices, price changes, and spreads of tin products are presented [97]. - **Inventory Data**: Warehouse receipt inventories of tin and LME tin inventory are shown [99].

新华财经北京6月9日电欧洲交易时段,风险偏好上升推动澳元和新西兰元等货币上涨,日元表现分化。自年初以 来,美元已下跌约10%,但近期显示出一定的企稳迹象。美国非农就业数据高于预期,以及央行决策不如预期鸽 派,导致市场对利率预期重新定价。整体偏向鹰派。外汇市场整体较为平静,利率因素的重要性进一步凸显。尽 管日本央行通过购买债券来维持市场稳定,但日元仍是进行套利交易的首选融资货币。 美元 | 中央银行 | 维持利率不变的概率 | 预期利率调整空 间(基点) | 备注 | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 美联储 | 99% | 46 | 市场预期下次会议维持利率不变 | | 欧洲央行 | 87% | 25 | 下次会议维持利率不变 | | 英国央行 | 94% | 40 | 下次会议维持利率不变 | | 加拿大央行 | 78% | 27 | 下次会议维持利率不变 | | 澳洲联储 | 23% (降息 77%) | 71 | 下次会议降息的可能性较大 | | 新西兰联储 | 69% | 29 | 下次会议维持利率不变 | | 瑞士央行 | 27% (降息 73%) | 46(或降息 50个 基 ...
关税博弈再掀伦铜“西迁潮”,LME铜库存半年内腰斩至13万吨
Di Yi Cai Jing· 2025-06-06 11:23
但美国经济数据疲软和供需面走弱可能限制铜价上涨空间 关税预期摇摆,铜价重拾涨势。 本周铜价持续冲高,截至6月6日收盘,沪铜期货收于78930元/吨,日内涨810元。 伦敦金属交易所(LME)铜期货本周录得四连涨,并触及9809美元/吨,创近两个月新高,纽约商品交易所 (COMEX)铜期货五连涨,价格更是一度飙升至5.06美元/磅,距离今年3月创下的5.37美元/磅历史高位仅一步 之遥。 交易人士分析称,这轮涨势和3月份铜价狂飙的行情有相似之处,是美国关税预期引发的全球库存"大转移"、矿 端供应紧张与需求复苏的复杂博弈。但在经历过3月行情后,市场可能对此敏感性会有所下降。 今年3月份,LME铜价突破1万美元/吨,五矿期货有色研究员吴坤金分析称,海外贸易局势相对反复,尽管美国 提高钢铁关税对美铜形成向上的脉冲刺激,但总体情绪面持续性待观察。产业上看铜原料供应较为紧张,但加 工费边际企稳和精废价差扩大使得供应紧张情绪边际缓和,叠加消费端韧性有所减弱,预计铜价上涨仍面临阻 力。 价差走阔,铜市套利交易再起 尽管关税政策尚未正式落地,但市场已提前反应。 "交易商预期美国将对铜征收关税,希望从美国铜价上涨中获利,大量铜库 ...

华尔街见闻· 2025-05-31 08:45
Core Viewpoint - Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, warns that excessive government spending and aggressive quantitative easing (QE) by the Federal Reserve have set the stage for a potential collapse of the bond market, indicating that the timing of this crisis is uncertain [1][2].

Group 2: Internal Threats to the U.S. - Dimon identifies "internal enemies" as the greatest threat to the U.S., rather than foreign adversaries, highlighting issues such as mismanagement and the need for reform in various sectors including government regulation, immigration, and healthcare [3]. - He calls for improvements in governance and management to enhance the U.S. economy's growth potential, suggesting that addressing these issues could lead to an annual growth rate of 3% [3][4].

高盛预警:土耳其里拉贬值 全球最佳套利交易面临威胁
智通财经网· 2025-05-29 10:58
Core Viewpoint - Goldman Sachs indicates that the Turkish central bank's decision to allow the lira to depreciate against the US dollar poses risks to successful global arbitrage trades, potentially aimed at limiting hot money inflows and addressing exporters' concerns about an overvalued currency [1][3]. Group 1: Central Bank Policy - The Turkish central bank is allowing the lira to depreciate at a rate exceeding typical levels, which may be a strategy to curb capital inflows [1]. - The report suggests that the central bank may have decided to stop increasing reserve requirements to counteract foreign exchange inflows driven by capital [1]. - The current depreciation of the lira contradicts the central bank's target to reduce monthly inflation from approximately 38% last month to 24% by year-end and to 12% by 2026 [3]. Group 2: Market Reactions - Following the arrest of Istanbul Mayor Ekrem İmamoğlu, a popular presidential candidate, the value of the lira has been negatively impacted, exacerbating inflation and prompting the central bank to halt its interest rate cuts initiated in December [3]. - In May, the lira depreciated by about 1.6% against the dollar, following a 1.4% decline the previous month, indicating a trend of weakening currency [3]. - The reliance on external markets has become a disadvantage, as international investors sold off lira assets after İmamoğlu's arrest, further intensifying market turmoil [4]. Group 3: Liquidity Management - The Turkish central bank's liquidity management has become complicated due to the influx of funds, which it has used to increase reserves while injecting billions of lira into the financial system [4]. - The central bank faced a situation of over 1 trillion lira in excess supply, posing a threat to its strict monetary policy [4].
