Report Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - Macroeconomic factors such as US tariff policies and the results of US-Iran negotiations are uncertain, which intensifies market volatility. The probability of the Fed maintaining interest rates unchanged in June is 82.7%, and the probability of a 25-basis-point rate cut is 17.3%. [6] - On the supply side, Iran's nuclear negotiations with the US are "difficult but productive," and OPEC plans to increase production by 410,000 barrels per day in June, almost offsetting the compensatory production cuts of 431,000 barrels per day by seven countries. [6] - On the demand side, the US and the UK have reached a trade framework agreement, and China and the US are holding talks, which may ease tariff conflicts and boost market sentiment. [6] - In the short term, oil prices may fluctuate and recover, but in the medium term, the center of gravity may decline. It is recommended to pay attention to shorting opportunities before the June OPEC meeting and focus on the WTI range of $55 - $65 per barrel. [6] Summary by Directory 1.

2025年的全球农产品市场，正上演着一场微妙的权力转移。美国中西部的大豆田里，金黄的豆荚挂满枝头，却难掩农场主们的愁容——曾经稳定吸纳近40% 美国大豆的中国市场，因持续三年的关税壁垒而大门紧闭。 数据显示，2024年美国对华大豆出口额同比暴跌62%，从2022年的128.4亿美元骤降至48.7亿美元，超过300万吨大豆积压在中西部仓库，相当于美国全年产 量的15%。 这场困局始于2023年初的关税升级。美国以"国家安全"为由，将中国输美电动车关税提高至27.5%，作为反制，中国对美国大豆加征35%的进口关税，直接 导致美国大豆到岸价飙升至1026美元/吨，几乎是巴西大豆（580美元/吨）的两倍。 深圳港的报关数据显示，2025年第一季度，中国仅进口12万吨美国大豆，同比下降89%，而巴西大豆进口量激增45%，占据中国市场82%的份额。 面对农产品游说团体的压力，美国政府急于寻找接盘者。特朗普政府曾在2024年中期选举前推出150亿美元的农业补贴，但杯水车薪。中西部农场主协会主 席约翰・迪尔公开抱怨："我们不能永远靠政府支票过日子，必须打开新市场。"正是在这种背景下，日本进入了美国的视线。 2025年3月的华 ...
