地缘政治方面，中东、俄乌等地区局势难以缓和，美委局势又逐渐升温，市场避险情绪高企，为金价带 来一定支撑。中东方向，虽巴以在特朗普的调停下初步停火，但仍然十分脆弱。而俄乌战场方面，虽美 俄之前重启外交接触，俄乌冲突有望进入谈判的新阶段，但近期出现一定反复。此外，美委局势也出现 动荡，美军开火的诸多谣言甚嚣尘上。地缘政治局势的紧张下，市场避险情绪导致黄金价格易涨难跌。 后续关注新任美联储主席人选，若新任主席为鸽派，美联储降息节奏或更为激进，利好黄金表现。中长 期看，"美联储降息大周期+海外宏观政策不确定性加剧+全球去美元化趋势"对于金价依然构成支撑， 或可考虑逢低分批布局黄金基金ETF（518800）。此外，黄金股票ETF（517400）也有望受益于黄金价 格上涨，可保持关注。 风险提示： 投资人应当充分了解基金定期定额投资和零存整取等储蓄方式的区别。定期定额投资是引导投资人进行 长期投资、平均投资成本的一种简单易行的投资方式。但是定期定额投资并不能规避基金投资所固有的 风险，不能保证投资人获得收益，也不是替代储蓄的等效理财方式。 无论是股票ETF/LOF基金，都是属于较高预期风险和预期收益的证券投资基金品种，其 ...

近期，美国、日本的地缘政治在中国管控稀土产品的影响下，纷纷把目光锁定在哈萨克斯坦、乌兹别克斯坦等中亚5国关键矿产的开发合作上。 在白宫，特朗普与中亚5国总统的亲切会面，以及中亚5国总统怀着无比激动的心情把特朗普当成他们国家财富与经济增长的救星，尽管在中俄方面看来，有 点令人作呕，中亚5国的背叛、特朗普的挖墙脚与背后拆台等情绪化的发泄，也都可能在中俄民粹主义以及民族主义的舆论场中炸锅，但毕竟这是人家的独 立自主与多元外交，情绪可以发泄，但却阻止不了人家。 所以，对这次高市与中亚5国的首脑会议，也要以这种平和、理性的态度进行分析，不宜做情绪化的发泄，这样只会迷失自己的理智和眼睛。 按照上面的分析框架，日本在与中亚5国的峰会上，高市牵头，准备在未来5年砸3万亿日元投资开发中亚5国的稀土、铀、石油等关键矿产，从地缘政治的角 度上看，又在图谋什么呢？ 首先是为了减少对中国稀土等关键矿产的高度依赖，构建多元、安全的关键矿产供应链，保障日本的经济与国家安全。日本是一个资源极为贫乏的岛国，其 关键矿产几乎全部依赖国外进口。日本的经济以科技支撑起来的，但本国资源贫乏，长期依赖国外进口，也是经济与国家安全上的致命短板，抑或很容易 ...

Core Viewpoint - Mexico is strategically positioning itself to benefit from the ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions by implementing a tariff proposal targeting Chinese goods, effectively aligning itself with U.S. interests while leveraging its manufacturing capabilities to attract Chinese companies to set up production facilities in Mexico [2][5][29]. Group 1: Tariff Proposal and Economic Impact - Mexico's recent tariff proposal includes additional tariffs on 1,463 items, with rates ranging from 5% to 50%, particularly affecting key industries such as automotive, textiles, and steel [2][8]. - The proposal is seen as a direct response to the U.S.-China trade war, with the majority of tariffs set below 35%, but critical sectors facing the highest rates [2][8]. - The U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) allows Mexican-produced goods to enter the U.S. tariff-free, creating an incentive for Chinese companies to manufacture in Mexico to bypass U.S. tariffs [10][17]. Group 2: Mexico's Role in Global Supply Chains - Mexico has emerged as a significant intermediary in the global supply chain, benefiting from Chinese manufacturing overflow while maintaining a favorable trade relationship with the U.S. [17][25]. - The value added by Chinese components in Mexican automotive production is approximately 5%, which is crucial for maintaining production efficiency [20]. - Mexican exports to the U.S. are projected to exceed $506 billion in 2024, highlighting the country's reliance on the U.S. market [20]. Group 3: Domestic Economic Effects - The minimum wage in Mexico has increased significantly, from 88 pesos per day in 2018 to 278.80 pesos by 2025, largely due to the high-wage requirements in the automotive sector under the USMCA [15][37]. - The trade dynamics have led to a substantial increase in the U.S. trade deficit with Mexico, rising from $112.7 billion to $171.5 billion, a 52% increase since the USMCA's implementation [17][20]. - Mexican political stability has been bolstered by the economic benefits derived from the trade tensions, with President Sheinbaum's approval rating reaching 85% [37][42].
