Core Viewpoint - The lithium battery market is expected to see significant growth in the first half of 2025, driven by domestic production and sales increases, as well as demand from the old-for-new policy and fluctuations in U.S. tariff policies [1][2]. Market Overview - In the first half of 2025, global lithium battery production reached 986.5 GWh, marking a 48.3% year-on-year increase, with power batteries contributing the most at 684 GWh (up 49%) and energy storage batteries exceeding 25% market share at 258 GWh (up 106%) [2][4]. Segment Analysis Power Segment - In China, the continuation of the old-for-new subsidy policy and the popularity of new models led to domestic new energy vehicle sales reaching 6.937 million units in the first half of 2025, a 40.3% increase year-on-year. The commercial vehicle market saw a significant demand increase, with sales of new energy commercial vehicles reaching 70,000 units (up 58.6%) [4][5]. - In the overseas market, the EU has eased carbon emission assessments for car manufacturers, and countries like Belgium and Poland are providing subsidies to stimulate local demand for new energy vehicles. The U.S. market, however, faced challenges due to policy changes affecting EV subsidies [4][5]. Energy Storage Segment - The energy storage market experienced strong demand in the first half of the year due to both preemptive stocking and installation needs. In China, the large-scale storage market was influenced by the cancellation of mandatory storage policies, leading to increased demand for upstream battery cells [5]. - Internationally, the U.S. maintained high demand for power storage, although fluctuating tariff policies created some disruptions. Europe saw a rise in demand as inventory was consumed, while markets in the Middle East and Southeast Asia continued to show strong demand [5]. Digital Consumer Segment - The introduction of the old-for-new policy for high-end electronic consumer goods set a positive tone for the digital consumer market in early 2025, with a noticeable recovery in demand for products like smartphones. The electric tools market is also expanding, particularly with the rise of humanoid robots [5]. Future Outlook - The overall demand in the domestic market is expected to remain strong, with Chinese lithium battery manufacturers like CATL, BYD, and Zhongchuang Innovation further increasing their global market share. The global lithium battery production is projected to exceed 2000 GWh in 2025, driven by the growth of popular new energy vehicle models and advancements in energy storage technology [6][8].

Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core View Overseas copper mines face disruptions in production or transportation. However, due to the Trump administration's substantial tariff hikes on multiple countries and the onset of the traditional off - season for domestic consumption, the global electrolytic copper inventory is accumulating. As a result, copper prices may still have room to decline. It is recommended that investors hold short positions, and pay attention to support and resistance levels in different markets [3]. 3.

The US added 147,000 non - farm jobs in June, higher than expected, and the CPI annual rate in June was 2.7%, which was in line with expectations but higher than the previous value, reducing the probability of the Fed cutting interest rates in September or December [3]. Upstream Situation - The import index of Chinese copper concentrates is negative but has increased compared to last week. The departure (arrival, inventory) volume of copper concentrates at world (Chinese) ports has decreased (increased, decreased) compared to last week. High - quality scrap copper exports are restricted, and the spread between domestic electrolytic copper and scrap copper makes scrap copper more economical, opening the scrap copper import window. Some overseas copper mines and smelters have production disruptions, while some domestic projects are in progress or planned to be put into production [3]. Downstream Situation - The daily processing fee of copper rods for power and cable in East China has decreased compared to last week. The capacity utilization rate of some copper product industries has changed, with some expected to decline and some to increase. Domestic electrolytic copper holders have no inventory pressure and are reluctant to sell at low prices, while downstream buyers mainly make purchases for immediate needs or long - term contracts [3]. Trading Strategy Investors are advised to hold short positions and pay attention to support and resistance levels: Shanghai copper at 78,000 - 78,000 yuan for support and 80,000 - 81,000 yuan for resistance; London copper at 9,300 - 9,500 dollars for support and 9,800 - 10,000 dollars for resistance; COMEX copper at 5.0 - 6.2 dollars for support and 6.0 - 7.0 dollars for resistance [3].

Core Viewpoints - The price increase in July was better than expected, and the SCFIS settlement index rebounded above 2400 points. Major airlines remained stable, possibly supported by good cargo demand. The 08 contract was still at a discount to the spot index and had some room for repair. For the traditional off - season in October, short - selling opportunities and 08 - 10 positive spread arbitrage opportunities at low prices should be focused on [8]. Summary by Directory 1.

HPL continued to use the late - July rates, and CMA CGM increased rates by $800 compared to late July [8]. - **Operation Suggestions**: Referring to historical patterns, the peak season usually reached its high in the third week of July, and freight rates would return to early - July levels by late August. The 08 contract was at a discount to the spot index and had room for repair. For the traditional off - season in October, short - selling opportunities and 08 - 10 positive spread arbitrage opportunities at low prices should be focused on [8]. 2. Industry News - **Overall Market**: From July 7 - 11, the China export container shipping market was generally stable. The comprehensive index decreased slightly.

Core Viewpoint - The recent increase in the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) to 2.7% in June, driven by rising core goods prices, indicates a potential inflation spiral influenced by tariffs, complicating the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions [1][2][3]. Group 1: Tariff Impact on Inflation - Tariff-sensitive goods have seen significant price increases, with clothing prices rising 0.4%, home goods up 1%, and toys soaring 1.8% [2]. - The "import-sensitive CPI" indicator constructed by CITIC Securities shows a rise from 0.03% to 0.11%, indicating that tariff costs are accelerating to consumers [2][3]. - The mechanism by which tariffs raise inflation is multifaceted, with immediate impacts on import prices and potential long-term effects on supply chain restructuring [3].
