Investment Rating - The report suggests that it may be a relatively suitable time to "bottom fish" in the Hong Kong stock market if investors have low positions and costs [2][17].

日本首相石破茂发表关税战爆发以来最强硬的表态，直面特朗普带来的日益增长的贸易压力。 据媒体报道，石破茂周一在日本议会表示："如果日本放弃一切，我们将无法确保我们的国家利益。"这 是自特朗普政府对日本敏感的汽车和农业领域发起贸易战以来，石破茂发表的最具对抗性言论之一。据 环球时报，石破茂上周表态称，在与美国政府举行的关税谈判中，日本"不打算做出重大让步，也不会 急于达成协议"。 在议会上，石破茂特别强调了保护日本农业的重要性："我们一直在使用各种方法保护日本农业，如关 税和最低准入规则。我们必须继续保护它，当然，我们也必须保护消费者安全。" 分析认为，尽管表态强硬，日本实际上需要寻找讨价还价的筹码，以期获得美国对其关税的全面豁免。 早些时候，美国将部分"对等关税"暂缓了90天实施，但日本仍面临25%的汽车、钢铁和铝材出口关税。 赤泽亮正在谈判中要求美方按照优先顺序列出其谈判重点，以便日方评估让步空间。不过，美方对日本 的具体要求仍然模糊，但特朗普经常抱怨日本市场缺乏美国汽车。 另据报道，日本财务大臣加藤胜信将于本周访问华盛顿，届时他可能在G20财长会议和IMF-世行春季会 议期间与美国财长贝森特举行双边会谈。 ...

Core Viewpoint - Apple Inc. has received a temporary reprieve from tariffs on iPhones, iPads, and Macs, but analysts caution that this relief may not be sustainable in the long term due to ongoing political pressures and potential future tariffs on other products [1][2].

作者：张云杰 陶川 如我们在前期报告《 关税下出口：已知压力和未知风险 》中所指出的， 3 月还观察不到出口的下行压力，"早春"、低基数等因素将推高 当月出口同比。 但在关税升级后，后续出口将进入"新范式"。 如何看待出口的已知变化和未知风险？我们围绕以下四个问题展开回答： Q ： 3 月出口大超预期，源自哪些因素？ A ："季节性"脉冲是核心原因。 基于历史经验，春节时点靠前往往会压低 1-2 月出口、抬高 3 月出口表现（可参照 2006 、 2014 、 2017 年等春节时点与今年相近的年份， 3 月出口环比均为历史较高水平）。 今年不仅是"早春"，而且和去年形成"错位"（ 2024 年恰好是"晚 春"， 3 月出口环比较低），这些因素共同放大了 3 月出口同比读数。 从实际数据看， 3 月出口环比略高于"季节性"水平。 其次，"对等关税"落地前夕，出现了一部分"抢出口"需求。 这一因素可能解释了 3 月出口好于"季节性"的这部分。 一方面， 3 月外需是边际回落的，全球制造业 PMI 较上月下滑 0.3 个百分点至 50.3% 。 另一方面， 从国别上看，主要是对一些"转口"贸易区域的出口增速大幅反 ...
