AI播客：换个方式听新闻 下载mp3 在最新发布的《经济展望中期报告》中，OECD指出，美国加征关税的全面影响仍待逐步显现。截至目 前，企业主要通过压缩利润率和动用库存缓冲来消化冲击。许多企业在特朗普政府加征关税前大量囤积 商品，导致美国商品进口有效关税率在8月底升至19.5%——这是1933年大萧条以来的最高水平。 "随着企业耗尽为应对关税而积累的库存，且更高关税持续实施，这些措施的全面影响将更加清 晰。"OECD秘书长马蒂亚斯·科尔曼（Mathias Cormann）在新闻发布会上表示。 全球增长预期上调，但2026年风险加剧 OECD将2025年全球经济增速预期从6月预测的2.9%上调至3.2%，但维持2026年2.9%的增速预测不变。 库存累积带来的短期提振效应正在消退，而高关税预计将拖累投资和贸易增长。 "贸易壁垒进一步增加或政策不确定性延长，可能通过推高生产成本、抑制投资和消费，导致经济增长 放缓。"科尔曼警告称。 具体来看： 美国：2025年经济增速预计从去年的2.8%放缓至1.8%（高于6月预测的1.6%），2026年进一步降至 1.5%。AI投资热潮、财政支持和美联储降息将部分抵消高关税、移 ...

Group 1 - OECD raised its global economic growth forecast for 2025 from 2.9% to 3.2%, citing unexpected resilience in the global economy, particularly in emerging markets [1][2] - The US growth forecast for 2025 was also increased from 1.6% to 1.8%, although the OECD warned that the full impact of tariff increases has yet to be realized, and significant risks remain for the economic outlook [1][2] - Despite the upward revision for 2025, the OECD maintained its 2026 global growth forecast at 2.9%, indicating a slowdown from 3.3% growth expected in 2024 [1][2] Group 2 - The growth momentum is attributed to several factors, including preemptive shipping strategies by businesses in anticipation of higher tariffs, strong investment in artificial intelligence in the US, and effective fiscal support measures in some countries [2] - The OECD noted that as of the end of August, the overall effective tariff rate in the US had risen to 19.5%, the highest level since 1933, and warned that the full effects of tariff increases are becoming increasingly evident in consumer choices, labor markets, and consumer prices [2][3] - The labor market has shown signs of weakness, with rising unemployment rates and decreasing job vacancies, which may pave the way for further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve [3] Group 3 - The OECD predicts that the US inflation rate will be 2.7% this year, slightly above last year's 2.5%, and will reach 3% by 2026, remaining above the Federal Reserve's 2% target [3] - The organization anticipates that the Federal Reserve has room for three more rate cuts, with the policy rate expected to be lowered to a range of 3.25% to 3.5% by next spring [3] - Key risks identified include further tariff increases and the potential resurgence of inflation, along with financial stability risks associated with high and unstable cryptocurrency valuations [3]

Core Viewpoint - Asian refiners are diversifying their crude oil sources beyond traditional Middle Eastern suppliers, but this strategy has not successfully boosted the market amid expectations of an oversupply in the crude oil market [1][2]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - Asia consumes about 40% of the world's oil, historically relying on the Persian Gulf for crude supply [1]. - U.S. President Donald Trump's trade and foreign policies have prompted refiners to purchase crude from the U.S., Brazil, and Nigeria [1]. - The surge in light sweet crude oil purchases was expected to support Brent crude prices, but the price premium of Brent over Dubai crude has fallen to its lowest level since April [1]. - Market expectations indicate that crude oil oversupply will begin in the next quarter due to increased production from OPEC+ and non-OPEC countries [1][2]. Group 2: Supply and Demand Outlook - Global average daily oil production has increased by 1.4 million barrels compared to the same period in 2025, exceeding the International Energy Agency's (IEA) demand growth forecast [2]. - Analysts predict a weakening of market demand in Q4 of this year and Q1 of next year [2]. - The reallocation of crude oil flows due to Trump's policies has created uncertainty and volatility in the market [2]. - The IEA forecasts that global oil demand growth will be less than half of 2023's rate in the coming years [5]. Group 3: Price Competitiveness - The narrowing price gap between Brent and Dubai crude allows U.S. and West African crude to enter the Asian market at more competitive prices [3]. - Increased demand for U.S. crude has raised prices along the U.S. Gulf Coast, but has not supported broader domestic benchmark prices [5]. - Major banks are bearish on oil prices, with Goldman Sachs predicting Brent crude will slightly decline to the mid-$60 range by year-end [5].

Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content Core Viewpoints - Last week, copper prices fluctuated at a high level. The main reason was that the unexpected increase in the US PPI slightly cooled the interest - rate cut expectation. The hawks and doves within the Fed have significant differences on whether sufficient interest - rate cuts are needed this year. Gradual and small - scale interest - rate cuts may still be the baseline scenario. Fundamentally, the accident - hit mine under Codelco is expected to lose about 20,000 - 30,000 tons of production, and the Panama project has no hope of resuming production this year. The global shortage of concentrates restricts the release of global refined copper production capacity. The inventory accumulation in the domestic off - season is limited, and the near - month structure has changed from flat to a slightly B structure [2]. - Overall, the general recovery of the US September interest - rate cut expectation, the continuous alleviation of global economic growth concerns after the implementation of tariffs, the good results of the Trump - Putin meeting that may promote US - Russia trade and boost the risk appetite of global capital markets, and China's anti - involution and steady - growth policies will effectively boost the demand for the non - ferrous metal market. However, the year - on - year growth rates of industrial added value and social retail sales in July were slightly lower than expected. Fundamentally, there are continuous disruptions at overseas mines, the inventory accumulation speed in the domestic off - season is slow, and no large amount of US copper has flowed out. It is expected that copper prices will maintain a high - level fluctuation in the short term [3][12] Summary by Directory Market Data - LME copper price on August 15 was $9,760.00/ton, down $8.00 (-0.08%) from August 8; COMEX copper price was 448.9 cents/pound, up 0.4 cents (0.09%); SHFE copper price was 79,060 yuan/ton, up 570 yuan (0.73%); international copper price was 70,180 yuan/ton, up 530 yuan (0.76%). The Shanghai - London ratio rose from 8.04 to 8.10, and the LME spot premium/discount was -$93.75/ton, down $24.20 (34.80%) [4]. - As of August 15, LME inventory was 155,800 tons, down 50 tons (-0.03%); COMEX inventory was 267,195 short tons, up 3,055 short tons (1.16%); SHFE inventory was 86,343 tons, up 4,428 tons (5.41%); Shanghai bonded - area inventory was 80,600 tons, up 5,100 tons (6.75%); total inventory was 589,938 tons, up 12,533 tons (2.17%) [7] Market Analysis and Outlook - Last week, copper prices fluctuated at a high level due to the unexpected increase in the US PPI cooling the interest - rate cut expectation. Fundamentally, Codelco's accident - hit mine is expected to lose about 20,000 - 30,000 tons of production, and the Panama project has no hope of resuming production this year. The global shortage of concentrates restricts the release of global refined copper production capacity, and the domestic off - season inventory accumulation is limited [8]. - As of August 15, the total inventory of LME, COMEX, SHFE, and Shanghai bonded area rose to 589,000 tons, and the global inventory continued to rebound. The LME copper inventory was basically flat, and the cancelled warrant ratio remained at 7.4%; the SHFE inventory increased slightly by 4,000 tons, and the inventory accumulation in the off - season was relatively limited; the Shanghai bonded - area inventory increased by 5,000 tons. The Shanghai - London ratio rose to 8.1 [8]. - In the macro - aspect, the US July PPI increased by 0.9% year - on - year and month - on - month, exceeding market expectations. The core PPI rose to 3.7%, much higher than the previous value of 2.6%. After the data was released, the September interest - rate cut expectation slightly declined. There are significant differences within the Fed on whether sufficient interest - rate cuts are needed this year [9][10]. - In terms of supply and demand, most areas of Codelco's Teniente project have resumed production, but the affected area is a new area for capacity improvement in the next 3 - 5 years. The Panama copper mine has basically no hope of resuming production this year. The domestic spot TC has slightly rebounded to -$38/ton, and the mine - end interference rate is still rising. In July, China's electrolytic copper production was 1.175 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 14.2%. However, affected by the increasingly tight supply of cold materials, non - CSPT smelters have started to slightly reduce production. From the demand side, the construction of power grid investment projects has slightly weakened, dragging down the operating rate of cable enterprises. The overall domestic demand has slightly decelerated month - on - month but still has resilience year - on - year [11] Industry News - Codelco has restarted the underground mining and processing operations of its EI Teniente mine in Chile. Eight underground areas that were evaluated as safe by the mining and labor departments resumed production last weekend, and the smelter also restarted. Four other mining areas near the accident site on July 31 are still closed, and relevant investigations are underway. The eight areas that resumed production account for about 82% of the total production [13]. - Chilean state - owned mining enterprise ENAMI has officially launched an investment recruitment plan to attract investors for a $1.7 - billion smelter. After the renovation, the annual processing capacity of the smelter will reach 850,000 tons of copper concentrates, and the annual production capacity will be 240,000 tons of copper cathodes [14]. - The official data shows that Zambia's copper production in the second quarter declined, posing a risk to the goal of increasing copper production to 1 million tons this year. If the first - quarter production is not revised, the second - quarter production was about 215,644 tons, a quarter - on - quarter decrease of about 4%. The production in the second quarter was affected by problems at four producers [15] Relevant Charts - The report provides multiple charts, including the price trends of SHFE copper and LME copper, LME copper inventory, global visible inventory, SHFE and bonded - area inventory, LME inventory and cancelled warrants, COMEX inventory and cancelled warrants, SHFE copper basis, refined - scrap copper price difference, LME copper premium/discount, SHFE copper inter - period spread, copper import profit and loss, copper concentrate spot TC, COMEX copper non - commercial net long position ratio, and LME copper investment fund net position change [16][22][24][28][32]

Core Viewpoint - The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revised its global economic growth forecast from 2.8% to 3% due to a decrease in living costs and relatively stable global trade, with a slight increase expected to 3.1% by 2026 [1] Economic Growth Projections - Developed economies are projected to grow at rates of 1.5% and 1.6% for the current and next year, respectively [1] - Sub-Saharan Africa is expected to achieve growth rates of 4% and 4.3% for the current and next year, respectively [1]
