【冠通研究】 盘中承压运行，震荡区间内波动 制作日期：2025 年 6 月 5 日 【策略分析】 沪铜今日低开高走日内承压运行。美国经济数据疲软，美元走势承压。特朗普政府 近期宣布将钢铁及铝进口关税翻倍至 50%，并同步启动对铜进口的《232 条款》调查，引 发市场对铜关税政策落地的强烈预期供给方面保持偏紧预期，截止 5 月 30 日，我国现货 粗炼费(TC)-43.45 美元/干吨，RC 费用-4.34 美分/磅，TC/RC 费用依然处于负值，但下 滑幅度明显放缓，利润负值状态下，市场偏紧预期依然存在。5 月 SMM 中国电解铜产量 环比增加 1.26 万吨，升幅为 1.12%，同比上升 12.86%。1-5 月累计产量同比增加 54.48 万吨，增幅为 11.09%。国内精炼铜产量维持高位，同比增速大幅增加，位于历年同期高 位水平，目前市场对铜供应紧张预期尚未兑现，实质供应尚未减弱。需求方面，国内 PMI 数据向好，并且淡季需求韧性强，对铜价提供支撑。国内上期所库存五月底以来继 续去化，印证下游出口及需求力度。目前铜价依然在宽幅区间震荡，主要影响因素为宏 观环境变化，基本面除需求短短期边际走弱步入淡季外， ...

首先，思考一个问题：这场舆论风暴如何形成的？为什么一个原本正面的形象会如此迅速地被"捧杀"？ 你关注到蒋雨融事件了吗？ 原本哈佛毕业典礼上的中国留学生代表，一段演讲让她成了励志偶像。没过几天，争议就来了。 从演讲内容被质疑，到家庭背景曝光，再到两次回应反而激起更多讨论……公众关注迅速转移，情绪也 从惊叹变成了怀疑。 这是一次典型的"高光时刻"如何演变为"舆论风暴"的过程；也是一个个体形象在社交媒体上被放大、解 构、再建构的真实案例。 我认为，该案例在传播学中有很多可圈可点之处。 1 先说结论：这是一个多平台叙事的结果。 事情一开始并不复杂。2025年5月29日，在哈佛毕业典礼上，蒋雨融作为中国留学生代表登台演讲。 穿着汉服用英文讲述自己的成长经历，并呼吁人们跨越分歧、保持善意。这一幕很快被美联社等国际媒 体报道，画面感强、仪式感足。 汉服+英文本身是一个自带冲突感的文化组合，具备很强的弱传播属性：哪怕你没听完整的内容，光看 画面就会记住。 但真正让这件事"出圈"的，是进入国内社交媒体后的变化。短视频平台开始对这段演讲进行切片传播， 将原本完整的演讲内容剪成一个个高冲突片段。 例如： 她分享了自己成长中的真实经 ...

关注出口韧性下的航运板块机会 20250603 中国 2025 年出口韧性的主要原因是什么？ 中国 2025 年出口韧性主要有两个原因：首先是外部因素，即抢出口行为因谈 判不确定性可能延续时间较长；其次是内部因素，即中国自身贸易对象多元化 和竞争力提升。从 2018 年至 2024 年，中国超过 56%的出口增量来自于美国、 集运市场运力增长在 2024 年达到最高峰后预计将逐步下降，但地缘政 治冲突和不稳定的大环境导致航运结构性紧张持续存在，为航运板块带 来投资机会。贸易供应链重构导致航线拉长，增加了运输需求。 集运领域，国内海控和港股海丰国际值得关注，这些公司分红可观且现 金流充裕。此外，在东南亚区域占比较高的锦江航运也有良好表现。短 期来看油轮和散货船市场较为低迷，但中长期原油供给有保障。 欧盟、东盟等传统贸易伙伴之外的经济体，而美国仅贡献了 4.2%。此外，中 国商品的竞争力指数明显提升，尤其是在技术含量较高的工业品领域，如车辆、 航空器、船舶和运输设备，以及光学医疗仪器等方面。 当前国内基本面环境对航运板块有何影响？ 摘要 中国出口展现超预期韧性，前四个月同比增长 6.4%，显著高于去年同 期的 1 ...
