Group 1: Manufacturing Sector - The manufacturing PMI for May 2025 is reported at 49.5%, a 0.5 percentage point increase from the previous month, aligning with market expectations[2][4] - The production index rose to 50.7%, up 0.9 percentage points from last month, indicating a recovery in production activities[5][14] - New orders index increased to 49.8%, up 0.6 percentage points, reflecting improved demand conditions[5][14] - High-tech manufacturing PMI stands at 50.9%, while energy-intensive industries continue to decline, with a PMI of 47.0%[6][19] Group 2: Service and Construction Sectors - The service sector PMI slightly increased to 50.2%, driven by the "May Day" holiday effect, with significant activity in tourism and hospitality[31][32] - The construction sector PMI is at 51.0%, down 0.9 percentage points, indicating a slowdown in expansion due to housing demand constraints, although infrastructure projects are accelerating[35][36] - Special bonds issuance in May reached 443.2 billion yuan, significantly higher than April's 230.1 billion yuan, supporting investment in infrastructure[35]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In May 2025, the temporary easing of China-US trade negotiations led to the release of previously postponed production demand, driving the PMI to rise. However, there is still uncertainty about the tariff outlook, and the recovery of new orders is relatively slow. The domestic off - season effect is becoming more prominent, and the contribution of domestic demand to new order growth has decreased compared to April [3][9]. - For the bond market, the fundamental conditions still provide support. Considering the historical experience of trade frictions from 2018 - 2019, there may be fluctuations in subsequent tariff policy negotiations. The uncertainty of external conditions may affect expectations, production, and inventory - stocking intentions and rhythms. The "rush - to - export" elasticity in May is not significantly higher than that in April, and the year - on - year increase in May's exports may be lower than expected. In the traditional off - season, the potential for unexpected growth in domestic demand in May is limited, so the bond market is still supported. Attention should be paid to the data verification in June and potential "expectation gaps" [3][41]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Manufacturing PMI: External Disturbances Ease, PMI Moderately Recovers 3.1.1 Supply and Demand: Tariff Disturbances Ease, Production Accelerates Recovery - In May, production increased by 0.9 pct month - on - month to 50.7%, returning to the expansion range. The easing of Sino - US economic and trade negotiations in mid - May slowed the decline in exports, and the demand for existing foreign trade orders was released in an orderly manner, accelerating the production and procurement rhythms compared to April. The procurement volume index increased by 1.3 pct month - on - month to 47.6%, and imports increased by 3.7 pct month - on - month to 47.1%, with the decline significantly narrowing [16]. - Demand stabilized in May, and new orders improved moderately. New orders increased by 0.6 pct month - on - month to 49.8% but remained in the contraction range. After the easing of trade negotiations, export orders recovered marginally, reducing the contraction of new orders. However, the difference between "new orders - new export orders" narrowed, and domestic demand orders decreased due to the off - season, which may limit the recovery of new orders [19]. 3.1.2 Foreign Trade: Negotiations Ease, New Export Orders are Concentratedly Released - In May, the easing of tariff negotiations led to the release of overseas order increments. New export orders and imports increased by 2.8 pct and 3.7 pct month - on - month to 47.5% and 47.1% respectively, with their elasticity restored. Combining the month - on - month changes in April and May, both were better than the same period in previous years, indicating a wider improvement in the foreign trade prosperity of manufacturing enterprises in May [26]. 3.1.3 Price: External Disturbances Narrow, Price Decline Slows - In May, the impact of the traditional off - season became more evident, and the prices of upstream bulk commodities remained weak, causing prices to decline slightly. The purchase price of raw materials and the ex - factory price both decreased by 0.1 pct month - on - month to 46.9% and 44.7% respectively. Although the price continued to weaken marginally, the narrowing of external disturbances slowed the price decline [31]. 3.1.4 Inventory: Increased Procurement Boosts Raw Material Replenishment, and Products are Rapidly De - stocked - In May, with the acceleration of procurement, raw material inventories increased, and downstream de - stocking accelerated. The easing of the negotiation situation accelerated the shipment of downstream exports, and finished product inventories decreased by 0.8 pct month - on - month to 46.5%. As the production rhythm recovered, the material procurement volume increased month - on - month, and raw material inventories increased by 0.4 pct month - on - month to 47.4% [35]. 3.2 Non - manufacturing PMI: The Drag of Real Estate Construction May Continue to Expand, and the Service Industry during the Holiday Season Shows Many Highlights - In May, the non - manufacturing PMI was 50.3%, a month - on - month decrease of 0.1 pct. Among them, the service industry PMI increased by 0.1 pct month - on - month to 50.2%, and the construction industry PMI decreased by 0.9 pct month - on - month to 51.0%, with the expansion continuing to slow due to the drag of real estate construction demand [36]. 3.2.1 Construction Industry - In May, the construction industry PMI continued to decline, while infrastructure demand further strengthened. The new export orders of civil engineering construction rose above 60%, significantly driving the industry PMI to climb for two consecutive months and reach above 62%. The easing of trade negotiations boosted the acceleration of overseas infrastructure investment to some extent. However, the overall construction industry PMI continued to decline, indicating that the activity rhythm of the housing construction industry may have further contracted in May [2][36]. 3.2.2 Service Industry - Holiday consumption boosted the improvement of the service industry PMI. In May, the expansion of the service industry PMI accelerated slightly. The production and new order indices of the information service industry maintained strong expansion. The release of consumption demand during the May Day holiday significantly increased the month - on - month PMI of railway, air, and water transportation industries. The accommodation and catering industries rose above the boom - bust line, ending three consecutive months of contraction [2][36].

Manufacturing Sector - The manufacturing PMI for May 2025 is reported at 49.5%, a significant increase of 0.5 percentage points from the previous month, aligning with market expectations[2][4] - The production index rose to 50.7%, up 0.9 percentage points from last month, indicating a recovery in production activities[5][14] - New orders index increased to 49.8%, up 0.6 percentage points, reflecting improved demand conditions[5][14] - High-energy industries continue to decline, with the PMI dropping to 47.0%, down 0.7 percentage points, indicating ongoing challenges in these sectors[6] External Trade - The new export orders index rose to 47.5%, a significant increase of 2.8 percentage points, indicating a recovery in export activities following tariff reductions[21] - The import index increased to 47.1%, up 3.7 percentage points, suggesting improved import conditions[21] Service Sector - The service sector PMI increased slightly to 50.2%, up 0.1 percentage points, remaining in the expansion zone, driven by increased tourism and hospitality activities during the May Day holiday[31] Construction Sector - The construction PMI is at 51.0%, down 0.9 percentage points, indicating a slowdown in expansion primarily due to weakened housing demand, although infrastructure projects are accelerating[35] - Special bond issuance has increased significantly, with 443.2 billion yuan issued in May, up from 230.1 billion yuan in April, supporting investment in infrastructure[35]

Domestic Demand - New housing sales growth is improving, while second-hand housing and passenger car sales are declining; home appliance average sales prices show mixed trends with more increases than decreases year-on-year [1][8] - Service consumption shows divergence, with movie box office improving and hotel revenue per available room declining but showing year-on-year growth [1][8] External Demand - Export indicators such as container throughput and departing ship weights have decreased, suggesting a potential decline in export growth due to high base effects from the previous year [3] - Container booking volumes from China to U.S. ports continue to rise year-on-year, while traditional transshipment trade areas see a significant drop, indicating a shift from transshipment to direct exports [4] - The U.S. International Trade Court has temporarily allowed tariffs to continue, with the final ruling still pending, necessitating close monitoring of developments [5] Production - Downstream demand remains weak, with speculative demand in the chemical chain decreasing and related product prices falling; steel procurement enthusiasm is low, leading to a decline in steel prices [6] - Employment indices remain stable, with a slight increase in employment price indices, while job search and recruitment-related search indices show a downward trend [6] Prices - Gold and oil prices have retreated, while copper remains in a fluctuating range; domestic chemical products and steel prices continue to decline [7] - Market expectations of OPEC+ accelerating oil production have pressured international oil prices, while geopolitical tensions provide some support for oil prices; gold remains in a fluctuating range but is expected to trend upward in the long term due to ongoing U.S. debt issues and global instability [7]

Report Industry Investment Rating - The report provides a mid - term outlook for each variety, including "oscillating", "oscillating weakly", etc., but does not give a unified industry investment rating [5][6] Core View of the Report - The black market has seen continuous days of increased - position decline, with the spot market cautious and prices dropping. Although domestic demand is seasonally weak and export pessimism has intensified, if exports do not deteriorate significantly, the current industry supply - demand situation does not support a trend - based decline. The market trading logic has shifted to the domestic industry fundamentals, and prices are expected to oscillate within a range [1][2][5] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Overall Situation of the Black Industry - **Supply and Demand**: Domestic demand is seasonally weak, and the "rush for exports" is less than expected. Some blast furnaces are under maintenance, and hot metal production has declined from its peak. However, steel inventory pressure is not large this year compared to last year, and steel mill profits are acceptable. Overseas mine new - capacity increments are not obvious, and port inventories are continuously decreasing [1][2] - **Market Outlook**: If exports do not deteriorate significantly, the current industry supply - demand situation does not support a trend - based decline [1][2][5] Iron Element (Iron Ore) - **Supply**: Short - term supply increments are not obvious due to the slower - than - expected progress of overseas new projects, and the expected supply increment for the year will be adjusted downwards [2][6] - **Demand**: Steel enterprises have relatively little short - term passive production - reduction pressure [2][6] - **Inventory**: Port inventories are decreasing, and the total inventory has declined [2][6] - **Market Outlook**: Short - term supply and demand are balanced, but due to the marginal weakening of steel exports and the decline of hot metal production, the market is trading the industry's "negative feedback", and iron ore prices are under downward pressure. In the short term, prices are expected to oscillate [2][6] Carbon Element (Coking Coal and Coke) Coking Coal - **Supply**: Some coal mines have reduced production due to accidents and maintenance, but most main - producing area coal mines maintain normal production, and coking coal production remains high and stable. Mongolian coal port inventories are continuously accumulating, and traders face large shipment pressures, so overall supply is sufficient [3][8] - **Demand**: Coke production is at a high level in the same period, but coke enterprises face increasing inventory - reduction pressure, low coking profits, and limited space for coke production increase [3][8] - **Inventory**: As the coke price reduction cycle begins, coke enterprises' enthusiasm for raw material replenishment decreases, and the upstream inventory pressure of coking coal gradually increases [3][8] - **Market Outlook**: Supply pressure is difficult to resolve, and there is room for further decline in valuation. The futures price is expected to continue its weak trend [3][8] Coke - **Supply**: Coke enterprise profits have slightly shrunk, but upstream inventory pressure is acceptable, and the overall coke production level remains stable [6][7] - **Demand**: Hot metal production has declined from its peak, and terminal steel demand is gradually entering the off - season, so hot metal production may further decline in the future [6][7] - **Market Outlook**: With stable upstream supply and weakening demand support, and cost - end drag, coke prices are prone to fall and difficult to rise. In the short term, the futures market is expected to remain weak [6][7] Alloys (Silicon Manganese and Silicon Iron) Silicon Manganese - **Supply**: There has been an increase in the resumption of production in Inner Mongolia recently, and production is expected to increase. As manganese ore shipments resume, port inventories of manganese ore are slowly rising [3][10][11] - **Demand**: Market sentiment remains cautious, and the supply - demand relationship tends to be loose [10][11] - **Market Outlook**: After the price decline, it is expected to oscillate under pressure in the short term, and there is still downward pressure in the medium term [10][11] Silicon Iron - **Supply**: A large silicon - iron factory in Inner Mongolia has shut down some furnaces, and daily silicon - iron production has decreased [12] - **Demand**: Steel mill tenders in May have basically completed procurement, and terminal steel is about to enter the off - season. The market demand expectation remains cautious, and the demand in the magnesium metal market is weak [12] - **Market Outlook**: Supply and demand contradictions have eased, but there is still an expectation of cost loosening. The futures market is expected to oscillate under pressure in the short term [12] Glass - **Demand**: Demand decline in the off - season is not obvious, and deep - processing demand has improved month - on - month but is still weak year - on - year. Spot production and sales have weakened [8] - **Supply**: Daily melting volume remains stable. Low prices suppress the willingness to resume production, and the willingness for cold repair is not obvious. Market rumors about environmental protection issues of Hubei production lines have led to a small rebound in the futures market [8] - **Inventory**: Upstream inventories have slightly decreased, and mid - stream inventories have declined [8] - **Market Outlook**: Real - world demand faces certain pressure in the off - season, and the futures price is at a discount to the spot price. The short - term view is to maintain oscillation [8] Soda Ash - **Supply**: The over - supply pattern has not changed. Although there are many maintenance operations in May, some enterprises have resumed production, and supply pressure still exists [5][9] - **Demand**: Heavy soda ash is expected to maintain rigid procurement. The overall daily melting volume of float glass fluctuates little, and there are still production lines being ignited in the photovoltaic industry, but the growth of photovoltaic glass daily melting volume may not be sustainable [9] - **Market Outlook**: It is expected to oscillate in the short term, and the price center will still decline in the long term [5][9] Steel - **Demand**: The apparent demand for the five major steel products has decreased by 4.8% year - on - year, and the decline has further widened. Domestic demand is still weak, but the overall steel contradictions are limited. Attention should be paid to the export demand situation [6] - **Supply**: Hot metal production is at a high level, and overall steel production has increased [6] - **Market Outlook**: The fundamentals have weakened month - on - month this week, and domestic off - season demand is still under pressure. However, overseas demand may be able to absorb the current high production after the export is no longer restricted by tariffs. The key lies in when exports will weaken. Steel prices are expected to oscillate in the short term [6] Scrap Steel - **Supply**: The five - day average arrival volume has rebounded compared to last week and is at a relatively high level in the same period [6] - **Demand**: The daily consumption of electric furnaces has slightly increased, mainly in East and Southwest China. The hot metal production of blast furnaces has slightly decreased, and the cost - performance of scrap steel has decreased, so the daily consumption of scrap steel in long - process production has decreased, and the total daily consumption of scrap steel in both long - and short - process production has slightly increased [6] - **Inventory**: After the arrival volume rebounded, the factory inventory has slightly increased and is higher than the same period [6] - **Market Outlook**: The market is pessimistic about off - season demand, finished - product prices are under pressure, and the loss of electric furnaces during off - peak hours has intensified. The future price is expected to oscillate weakly [6]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - The black metal market is currently in a state of weak price drive, with a strong expectation of oversupply. The core logic of the black metal sector this year is the further relaxation of furnace material supply and the upstream's concession to the downstream, leading to a downward shift in the valuation center. Different sub - sectors have different trends and investment suggestions [4][5][7] Summary by Related Sections Steel - On May 27, the prices of both far - month and near - month steel futures contracts were down. The spot trade volume of building materials increased slightly, but the market was still weak. The static supply - demand structure is healthy, but there is a strong oversupply expectation. The price drive is weak, and the time for production reduction may be postponed. The idea of rolling selling hedging or spot pre - sale to realize production profit is still necessary [2][4] Coking Coal and Coke - In the spot market, the second round of price cuts for coking coal and coke is expected to land soon. The port metallurgical coke trade price and coking coal prices are falling. In the futures market, the black chain index continues to decline. The trading logic is that the upstream concedes to the downstream due to loose furnace material supply. A short - selling strategy is maintained, but attention should be paid to the cost and price relationship at the current position [5] Ferroalloys - There have been many production cut news for ferrosilicon and silicomanganese this week, with a significant decline in production. Ferrosilicon is in short supply and the rebound may continue, while silicomanganese is expected to fluctuate. The cost is expected to decline slightly. The pattern of overseas and domestic export rush will continue to drive actual demand. Previous long positions in ferrosilicon and long - short spreads of double - silicon can be held [7] Iron Ore - The market is less sensitive to the news of production restrictions. Iron ore shipments are gradually increasing, and port inventories may shift from de - stocking to stocking. The iron ore market is expected to fluctuate slightly in May. After May, if the steel fundamentals weaken, the steel mills' spontaneous production reduction may occur, and it is more likely that steel is weaker than iron ore [8] Futures and Spot Market Data - **Futures Market**: On May 27, the far - month contracts of RB2601, HC2601, I2601, J2601, JM2601 all declined, with the decline rates ranging from - 0.31% to - 1.70%. The near - month contracts also declined, with the decline rates ranging from - 0.12% to - 1.76%. The cross - month spreads and various spreads/price ratios/profits also changed [2] - **Spot Market**: The spot prices of various steel products, iron ore, coking coal, and coke all declined on May 27. The basis of different varieties also changed, with some increasing and some decreasing [2]

Group 1: Research Background - Steel mills are showing high production enthusiasm, with pig iron output reaching the highest level for the same period since March before starting to decline, leading to accumulated supply pressure [1] - Hebei, as the largest steel production base in China, accounts for 20%-30% of the national output, primarily in plate products, making its production dynamics significantly influential on the national market [1] - The demand for steel is expected to decline seasonally, but the "export rush" effect has shown strong resilience in steel demand, with export volumes increasing year-on-year [1] Group 2: Production and Output - Most steel mills have adopted an over-ordering strategy, with orders from downstream processing plants typically ranging from 15 to 30 days, and some products scheduled for production until the end of July [2] - Steel mills are currently enjoying decent profits, with immediate profits around 100-200 yuan per ton, and some mills achieving net profits exceeding 100 yuan per ton [2] Group 3: Export Situation - Export profits remain acceptable, with increases in the export volumes of rebar, steel billets, and wire rods, particularly to the Middle East and Africa, while reductions are noted in exports to South Korea and Japan [4] - There is potential for screening orders in steel billet exports, and while some believe that the export rush may deplete future demand, the actual impact may not be as significant as anticipated [4] Group 4: Inventory and Expectations - Inventory levels among steel mills and traders are low, with steel mill inventories dropping from 20,000 tons to 4,000 tons, indicating a need for inventory building based on market fluctuations [6] - Some anticipate that upcoming events such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit in July and the World University Games in August may impact short-term supply, while others doubt the effectiveness of policy-driven production restrictions due to local GDP pressures [6] Group 5: Seasonal Demand Outlook - The negative feedback from the industrial sector in June may be difficult to realize, as steel mills are currently profitable and production is stable, making significant production cuts unlikely [7] - The resilience of plate demand is a key variable influencing the overall demand for steel during the off-season, with expectations that plate demand may outperform market predictions [7] Group 6: Specific Situations in Steel Mills and Processing Plants - A hot-rolled processing enterprise reported a production capacity of 4 million tons, with a focus on color-coated products, and is experiencing high demand, with orders extending to the end of July [9] - A steel mill's trading department noted that orders for various steel products are generally over 25 days, with net profits ranging from 50 to 100 yuan per ton, and a positive outlook on the market despite regional pressures [10] - A cold-rolled sales department indicated that exports are primarily directed towards Southeast Asia and the Middle East, with a notable increase in orders, although the overall export volume is slightly weaker compared to previous months [11] Group 7: Market Dynamics and Price Trends - The current market is characterized by strong realities and weak expectations, with healthy inventory levels and order volumes, suggesting that the anticipated negative feedback may not materialize [8] - The steel price may experience fluctuations, with potential upward movement if the current strong reality persists, despite the overall market sentiment being cautious [12]

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the current state of the domestic economy, highlighting three main lines: export under trade friction, investment and consumption driven by policy stimulus, and the real endogenous power of the economy. It notes a temporary phase of "grabbing exports 2.0" due to easing US-China trade tensions, with a focus on the resilience of the economy in the second quarter [2]. Group 1: Consumption Trends - There is a divergence in the growth rates of subsidized and non-subsidized consumption, with service consumption growth gradually declining, indicating little change in endogenous consumption momentum. From January to April, retail sales grew by 4.7% year-on-year, with "trade-in" consumption contributing 1.1 percentage points to this growth [3]. - The growth rate of service consumption has decreased from 20% in 2023 to 6.2% in 2024 and 5.1% in April 2025, suggesting a plateau after a rebound [3]. - The consumption subsidy policy is expected to support retail sales growth in the second quarter, with an anticipated increase of 4.5%-5% in retail sales and a final consumption growth of 4.3% [28]. Group 2: Real Estate Market - The 924 policy in real estate has shown a diminishing effect, with sales facing adjustment pressures. From January to April, the cumulative year-on-year change in domestic commercial housing sales area was -2.8%, a significant improvement from -17.1% in 2024 [12]. - The second-hand housing market has performed better, with a year-on-year increase of 21.1% in transaction area from October 2024 to March 2025, raising the proportion of second-hand housing sales [12]. - However, by April, second-hand housing sales began to cool down, with a year-on-year decrease of 22.6% in 11 sample cities, indicating a potential downturn in the market [12]. Group 3: Investment and Economic Growth - Despite little change in endogenous economic momentum, consumption subsidies and export initiatives are expected to significantly support the economy in the second quarter, with a projected GDP growth rate of 5.2% for the quarter [28]. - Fixed asset investment growth is expected to stabilize around 4%, supported by "equipment updates" and related projects, with manufacturing and infrastructure investments showing year-on-year increases of 8.8% and 10.9%, respectively [28]. - The article anticipates a 3%-5% growth in exports in the second quarter, despite facing high base effects [30].
