鉴于美国的超常增长将经受住特朗普的考验，因此纵使在贸易政策上存在一些噪音，来自各类投资组合 的资金流入仍将持续。 自2022年底推出ChatGPT以来（我在2022年出版的《巨型威胁》一书中就预测过了），与人工智能相关 的投资推动了美国资本支出的繁荣。即使是关税和由此带来的不确定性也没能从根本上改变大多数大型 科技企业、人工智能超大规模云服务商和其他企业的运行指导方针。许多企业甚至将其人工智能投资翻 了一番。 如果技术能将经济增长从2%提高到4%，那么潜在增长率就可以提高200个基点。而即使那些严厉的贸 易保护和移民限制也最多只能使潜在增长减少50个基点。正负之比为四比一；从中期来看，技术将压倒 关税。 正如我最近在其他地方所论述的，就算是米老鼠当了总统，美国仍将实现4%的增长，因为美国私营部 门的创新有望抵消那些糟糕的政策和反复无常的政策制定。 由人工智能驱动的投资热潮还意味着无论是否征收高额关税，美国的经常账户赤字都将居高不下且呈现 上升趋势（反映出储蓄低迷与投资繁荣之间的反差）。但鉴于美国的超常增长将经受住特朗普的考验， 因此纵使在贸易政策上存在一些噪音，来自各类投资组合的资金流入仍将持续。尽管固定收益 ...

Core Viewpoint - The risk of stagflation in the US remains, with significant implications from the recent tariff policies that could lead to retaliatory measures from trade partners, negatively impacting both the US and global economic growth while potentially increasing inflation in the long term [1][2]. Group 1: US Economic Outlook - The current US GDP growth rate is stable at over 2%, with an unemployment rate of 4.2%, indicating a relatively healthy economy [19]. - The Federal Reserve is expected to implement 5-6 rate cuts by the end of 2025, although there is a possibility of accelerating these cuts to stimulate the economy [19]. Group 2: Tariff Policy Impact - The recent US tariff policies are more aggressive than previous rounds, raising concerns about their potential to cool down the global economy [2]. - Historical data shows that previous tariff increases have led to significant declines in both imports and exports, as seen during the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act of 1930, which resulted in a 66% drop in US imports from 1930 to 1933 [22]. Group 3: China Economic Performance - China's economy showed resilience in the first quarter, but the likelihood of a slowdown in the second quarter has increased, suggesting a cautious outlook for the year [3]. - The Chinese government has set a GDP growth target of around 5% for 2025, indicating a stable but cautious economic strategy [26]. Group 4: Commodity Market Trends - The performance of various metals since May indicates a mixed response to tariff announcements, with gold and silver prices declining by 3.9% and 1.3% respectively, while aluminum and tin saw increases of 1.7% and 1.8% [9]. - The volatility in the commodity market is expected to decrease in the second quarter, reflecting a more stable trading environment [31]. Group 5: Supply Chain and Industry Dynamics - Close attention is required on supply-side disruptions that could affect commodity pricing and availability [5]. - The influence of precious metals on the pricing dynamics of the non-ferrous sector is a critical area for monitoring [4].

Group 1 - India proposed retaliatory tariffs on certain US goods in response to the 25% tariffs imposed by the US on Indian steel and aluminum products, aiming to balance the economic losses caused by US measures [1] - The US tariffs have affected approximately $7.6 billion worth of Indian exports to the US, prompting India to consider suspending certain tariff benefits and increasing import tax rates on specific US products [1] - India's action at the WTO marks a shift towards a more assertive stance in global trade, reflecting a willingness to protect its economic interests within the framework of global trade rules [3] Group 2 - The recent developments in US-China trade negotiations, including significant tariff reductions, have created a complex backdrop for India's trade relations with the US, potentially influencing future tariff discussions [4] - India's previous conciliatory approach towards the US, including lowering import tariffs on around 8,500 industrial goods, has shifted as it now seeks to assert its rights in the face of US trade policies [3]

Core Insights - The Greek National Bank's report highlights the increasing severity of international trade conditions due to U.S. tariff measures, which pose risks not only to bilateral trade but also to the overall export structure and macroeconomic impact of Greece [1][2] Export Structure and Market Dynamics - Greece's export structure is characterized by high uncertainty, with approximately 60% of exports traditionally directed towards Western Europe and the Balkans, which have shown poor economic performance over the past year and a half [1] - Eastern Europe and the Middle East have provided stable support for Greek exports, accounting for about 75% of export growth [1] - The U.S. market, while not a traditional major market for Greece, is projected to increase its share of Greek exports from 4.5% in 2019 to 5.3% by 2024, contributing 7% to export growth during the same period [1] Impact of U.S. Tariffs - The U.S. government's recent tariff measures are expected to alter the positive outlook for Greek exports, as the U.S. absorbs about 20% of EU exports, indirectly affecting Greece's main trading partners like Germany and Italy [2] - The concentration of Greek exports to the U.S. is primarily in the food sector, with significant exports of high-value products such as olives and olive oil, which have reached €1 billion over the past six years [3] - Tariffs will likely harm Greece's price competitiveness in the North American market, forcing exporters to reduce profit margins, cut export volumes, or seek more expensive alternative markets [3] Economic Challenges - Key issues facing the Greek economy include insufficient investment, low productivity, weak international competitiveness, and a high current account deficit, exacerbated by past debt crises and fiscal austerity [4] - The structural weaknesses of the Greek economy are expected to be magnified by U.S. tariffs, complicating the recovery process [4] - The Greek government aims to avoid escalating trade tensions with the U.S. and seeks to align with EU positions, potentially requesting tariff exemptions for certain non-U.S. produced agricultural products [4]

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Core Viewpoints of the Report - In May, finished steel products may face pressure, potentially forcing steel mills to cut production, with a high probability of molten iron production reaching its peak. Without clear administrative production restrictions, production cuts require further compression of steel mill profits to ease supply pressure. The unilateral drive of finished steel products may continue downward, but the absolute prices are not low, so the risk of chasing short positions is relatively high. It is recommended to focus on short - profit positions [2][62] Summary According to Relevant Catalogs Supply - In April, although there were many expectations of steel mill production restrictions, no definite documents were issued. Steel mills maintained good profits, with the profitability rate of steel enterprises around 60%, higher than in 2024. In the traditional peak demand season of April, steel products were destocked, and steel mills had little inventory pressure, so they had little willingness to cut production actively. In the first quarter, the crude steel output increased by 0.6% year - on - year. In April, the output of the five major steel products increased by 2.04% month - on - month and 1.30% year - on - year, and the daily average molten iron output was 2.45 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 4.5%. It is expected that the crude steel output in April will increase by about 4% year - on - year. In May, due to better profits than in 2024 and seasonal factors, supply is expected to increase further [3][9] Demand - In April, the apparent demand for the five major steel products continued to improve, with an average of 933310 tons, a month - on - month increase of 4.8% and a year - on - year decrease of 1.5%, and the year - on - year decline rate was narrowing. The decrease was mainly due to the building materials sector. The average apparent demand for rebar in April was 265570 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 5.01%. The demand for plates was good. In the first week of May, the data decreased significantly month - on - month, but it is expected to be related to holidays and pre - holiday stockpiling, and the demand was relatively stable on a two - week average. The manufacturing industry performed well in the first quarter, with manufacturing investment from January to March increasing by 9.1% year - on - year. Benefiting from policies, the steel demand in the automotive, home appliance, and machinery manufacturing industries increased. In April, the high - frequency data showed that the demand for automobiles and home appliances was still strong, and the growth rate accelerated. However, the manufacturing PMI in April was 49%, down 1.5 percentage points from the previous month, and the new export order index was 44.7%, down 4.3 percentage points from the previous month. The real estate sector still dragged down steel demand, but some data improved. The infrastructure demand was better than in 2024, and the direct export in the first half of the year is expected to maintain growth [10][13][24] Inventory - In April, the destocking speed of rebar accelerated, with a weekly destocking of about 50000 tons at the end of the month, basically the same as in 2024, and the inventory at the end of the month was only 653630 tons. In May, rebar faces the pressure of slower destocking, and enterprises are actively destocking. Hot - rolled coils have strong supply and demand and have been destocking since March, with inventory significantly lower than in 2024. However, the supply pressure of cold - rolled coils is high, and there was basically no destocking in April, and the price difference between hot - rolled and cold - rolled coils narrowed. Plates still face inventory pressure [41] Raw Materials - In addition to export factors, the weakness of raw materials is an important factor in the decline of steel prices, mainly coking coal. High supply and high upstream inventory are the main reasons for the price decline. Currently, the 09 contract has fallen below 900, and there are expectations of a decline in domestic and some imported coal supplies. The core factor for price fluctuations is demand. Coke mainly follows coking coal. The capacity utilization rate of independent coking enterprises is low, and the total inventory is higher than in 2024. After the first price increase, whether another increase can be implemented is driven by the price of finished steel products. In the first quarter, the global iron ore shipment decreased by about 8 million tons year - on - year, and there was no year - on - year increase in April. Considering the high molten iron production, the pressure of iron ore inventory accumulation in the second quarter is not large, and the 09 contract is deeply discounted against the spot, which also supports the futures price. Overall, raw material supply is not the main problem, and the price decline in April was mainly due to poor steel demand expectations, and the core driver in May is still expected to be demand [45]
