Group 1 - President Trump threatened to raise the baseline tariff rate to 20%, citing record stock market gains to alleviate concerns about global economic impacts [1] - The market appears to be experiencing "tariff fatigue," with traders seemingly desensitized to economic risks, as indicated by the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) dropping to its lowest level since February [2] - Analysts warn that the current market pricing reflects an overly optimistic view of tariff risks and economic conditions, with the S&P 500 index being considered overbought [2][3] Group 2 - The potential for increased tariffs may inadvertently provide a stronger basis for the administration to impose them, as financial indicators are viewed as measures of policy success by Trump [2] - Current economic impacts from tariffs have not yet materialized, with controlled inflation in the U.S. and strong Asian exports, although concerns about sustainability in growth remain [3] - The repeated threats of tariffs are seen as a strategy to accelerate negotiations, allowing Trump to claim victories without investors becoming overly concerned about each tweet or decision [3]

Group 1 - The latest Federal Reserve meeting minutes indicate a complex signal regarding monetary policy amid external shocks, particularly inflationary pressures from tariffs [1][3] - If tariff-induced price increases are sustained and exceed expectations, the Federal Reserve may consider maintaining a stricter monetary policy stance, even if core inflation data temporarily declines [3] - The minutes acknowledge a potential "stagflation" scenario where rising inflation coincides with a weakening labor market, forcing the Federal Reserve to make difficult trade-offs between inflation and employment targets [3][4] Group 2 - Following the release of the minutes, short-term interest rate futures experienced increased volatility, reflecting investor uncertainty about potential rate cuts in September [4] - The Federal Reserve's policy path is becoming highly data-dependent, with no clear signals indicating whether inflation expectations are out of control or if there is significant deterioration in employment [4] - The current environment is characterized by political risks, disrupted global supply chains, and misaligned expectations between domestic prices and employment, making upcoming data crucial for future policy decisions [4]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The overseas macro - environment is better than the previous cycle. The contraction of the US manufacturing industry is offset by the growth of personal consumption, leading to a significant decline in inflation without a notable increase in unemployment. With the Fed's good expectation management, the current economic cycle has the conditions for a "soft landing", and the liquidity release caused by preventive interest rate cuts is beneficial to commodities. In Europe, the "free - market logic" is more clearly transmitted. When inflation falls to a controllable range, interest rate cuts will stimulate manufacturing expansion and increase in terminal consumption. The current high policy interest rate of the Eurozone central bank is a more favorable condition than in 2010 - 2015 [1][44]. - The domestic macro - environment is weaker than the previous cycle. The rapid decline of M1, the positive scissors - difference between M2 and the year - on - year growth of social financing stock, and the widening of the scissors - difference between M1 and M2 reflect the decline in social financing demand and the decrease in market risk preference. However, the appreciation of the RMB caused by overseas interest rate cuts is conducive to the implementation of domestic monetary policies. In the real estate industry, high household leverage and urbanization rates restrict the maneuvering space of the current real estate cycle. High inventory of commercial housing and insufficient potential purchasing power will lead to a deeper active de - stocking. In the manufacturing industry, changes in domestic consumption structure and the increase in potential external demand make the current manufacturing cycle more resilient. Although infrastructure funds are still increasing, they are mainly invested in new - quality productivity industries such as electricity, and the growth rate of traditional steel - consuming industries is gradually declining. China's steel exports have an obvious characteristic of trading price for volume. Although there are more trade barriers, cost advantages ensure that the export volume can still be maintained [2][44]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Overseas Macro - environment Comparison 3.1.1 US: Interest Rate Cuts Lead to Liquidity Release and Commodities Benefit - In the 2010 - 2015 cycle, the US market was relatively stable with a low federal funds target rate of 0.25% from December 2008 to December 2015. Unemployment rate declined year - by - year, CPI and core CPI fluctuated within a controllable range, PMI data showed manufacturing expansion, and personal consumption expenditure was stable. In the current cycle, the federal funds target rate is 4.50%, with strong potential for interest rate cuts to release liquidity. The continuous significant decline in CPI and core CPI and the stable labor market lay the foundation for preventive interest rate cuts and a soft landing of the economy. The expected interest rate cuts will release liquidity in the money market, which is beneficial to commodities [5]. 3.1.2 Europe: Potential for Liquidity Release - Europe's "free - market logic" is more clearly transmitted due to the unified management of the euro by the European Central Bank system and the large differences in economic volume and resilience among EU member states. Previous interest rate hikes suppressed terminal demand, causing CPI and manufacturing PMI to decline. When inflation falls to a controllable range, interest rate cuts will stimulate manufacturing expansion and terminal consumption. The current high policy interest rate of the Eurozone central bank is a more favorable condition than in 2010 - 2015 [11]. 3.2 Domestic Macro - and Meso - level Comparison 3.2.1 Fiscal Policy and Monetary Policy - M1 has contracted more severely in this cycle, indicating greater economic downward pressure. In terms of steel consumption potential, it may be weaker than the previous cycle as households are restricted by the real estate market and local governments are burdened with debt, while the central government still has room to increase leverage. The year - on - year growth of social financing stock has been lower than that of M2 since early 2022, and the widening scissors - difference between M1 and M2 shows a decrease in market risk preference. There is still room to reduce the RMB deposit reserve ratio and LPR, and the appreciation of the RMB after the Fed's interest rate cuts provides space for the implementation of domestic monetary policies [14][16][18]. 3.2.2 Real Estate Industry: Active De - stocking Continues and Downward Pressure is Greater than the Previous Cycle - The real estate industry is a pro - cyclical industry. There is a positive correlation between steel prices and real estate development investment, and M1 and commercial housing sales generally move in the same direction. In this cycle, the real estate industry has greater downward pressure. The real estate development investment and funds have been in negative growth since 2022, and the high household leverage and urbanization rates limit the maneuvering space. The inventory of commercial housing is increasing, and it is more difficult to reduce inventory through price increases. The active de - stocking behavior caused by weak supply and demand may lead to a decline in real estate - related commodity prices [20][22][24]. 3.2.3 Manufacturing Industry: Domestic and External Demands Show Resonance - The manufacturing industry is a pro - cyclical industry, and there is a positive correlation between steel prices and manufacturing investment. In the 2010 - 2015 cycle, manufacturing investment declined from 30% to 5%. In the current cycle, manufacturing investment has been stable at around 10%, supported by new energy vehicles, ships, containers, and policy incentives. The "two - new" support funds in 2025 are 300 billion yuan, twice that of 2024, which is conducive to the benign cycle of domestic demand. There is a positive correlation between China's export amount and the PMI of European and American manufacturing industries, indicating resonance between domestic and external demands. The US economy may achieve a soft landing, and there is a possibility of upward resonance of domestic and external demands, which will not drag down steel consumption [30][33]. 3.2.4 Infrastructure: New - quality Productivity Industries Gain Momentum while Traditional Steel - consuming Industries Slow Down - Infrastructure is a counter - cyclical adjustment tool, and there is an inverse correlation between infrastructure investment growth rate and steel prices. In the 2010 - 2016 period, local governments were the main entities for leveraging through urban investment bonds. After 2022, with the decline in land transfer revenue, the proportion of special bonds increased, and policy - based development tools and ultra - long - term treasury bonds can also supplement infrastructure funds. Although the total infrastructure funds are still increasing, the investment is mainly in new - quality productivity industries such as electricity, and the growth rate of traditional steel - consuming industries such as roads, railways, and public facilities is gradually declining [35][37][39]. 3.2.5 Export: Trading Price for Volume, Pattern Remains Unchanged - China's steel exports have an obvious characteristic of trading price for volume, with an inverse correlation between export quantity and price since 2007. When domestic demand is strong, exports are restricted; when domestic demand is weak, high production leads to an exploration of export paths. Since 2022, some overseas countries have imposed high tariffs or conducted anti - dumping investigations on Chinese steel products, increasing export costs and slightly reducing export volume. However, due to cost advantages, China's steel still has global appeal, and the high - volume export pattern is difficult to change. About 70% of steel exports go to Asia, and the trade pattern has been basically stable since 2010 [42][43].

Market Review - The international environment has become increasingly complex, with gold leading the rise among major asset classes. In the first half of 2025, uncertainties in U.S. policies, global trade, and geopolitical factors have intensified, particularly due to the "America First" policies of the Trump administration, which have significantly disrupted global capital markets. As a result, global asset volatility has increased, with gold leading gains, a weakening dollar, differentiated equity performance, and fluctuations in the bond market [2][10][9]. U.S. Market - The Trump administration's policies are expected to lead to a soft landing for the economy. The labor market is gradually cooling, with limited upward movement in the unemployment rate. Consumer spending is being affected by layoffs, tariffs, and demand exhaustion, but income growth is providing some support. Corporate investment sentiment is weakening, and profit growth is slowing, but the extent is manageable [2][30][36]. - Inflation is facing downward pressure, and the Federal Reserve's interest rate cuts may be delayed. Tariffs are likely to push prices up, particularly in the third quarter. The federal budget expansion will continue, and debt pressure is unlikely to ease significantly [2][30][36]. Dollar Cycle - A weak dollar cycle is expected to begin, leading to a rebalancing of global asset allocation. The dollar is likely to enter a long-term bear market due to interest rate differentials, inflation differentials, and pressures from international capital allocation. Historical data suggests that a new weak dollar cycle would likely lead to higher commodity prices and lower U.S. Treasury yields, with U.S. stocks underperforming emerging market equities [2][30][36]. - In the second half of the year, the dollar may still experience fluctuations due to the soft landing of the U.S. economy, sticky inflation, and delayed interest rate cuts. Geopolitical and trading factors may also drive short-term rebounds in the dollar [2][30][36]. Hong Kong Stock Market - The focus is on profit structure recovery, with expectations for upward potential. The domestic economy is expected to stabilize under supportive policies, leading to continued profit recovery in certain sectors. The liquidity environment is favorable, with foreign capital remaining optimistic about China's economic and policy certainty. The anticipated inflow of southbound capital and the active primary market will create investment opportunities in the secondary market [2][30][36]. - The report suggests a cautious outlook for Hong Kong stocks in Q3, with potential for profit and valuation recovery in Q4 as domestic policy effects become evident and U.S. Treasury yields marginally decline. Key investment themes include technology innovation sectors, quality assets in domestic consumption supported by policy, and stable dividend-paying assets [2][30][36].

Group 1 - The global financial market is experiencing rapid shifts in sentiment due to various driving factors, including geopolitical risks, unexpected policy announcements, and conflicting macroeconomic data [1][2] - Geopolitical events, such as the ceasefire between Israel and Iran facilitated by the U.S., have a direct and strong impact on market sentiment, leading to a significant drop in oil prices (over 11%) and a rise in U.S. stock markets [1] - Unexpected policy announcements, particularly from political figures like Trump regarding trade negotiations and sanctions, can quickly reverse market gains, highlighting the fragility of the current optimistic sentiment [1][2] Group 2 - The presence of contradictory macroeconomic signals, such as a decline in U.S. GDP alongside an increase in core PCE, indicates early signs of "stagflation," complicating market assessments of economic conditions [2] - The uncertainty surrounding future Federal Reserve policies is heightened by these macroeconomic indicators, potentially affecting market expectations regarding interest rate cuts [2] - Upcoming bank stress test results, while routine, could amplify market vulnerabilities if negative surprises occur, especially following the banking turmoil of 2023 [2] Group 3 - The focus for the upcoming week will shift to key economic data, with the U.S. non-farm payroll report being crucial for assessing labor market health and its implications for economic growth and inflation [3] - The importance of the services PMI is emphasized, as the services sector is a major component of the U.S. economy, while global manufacturing challenges are indicated by China's PMI contraction [3] - European inflation and employment data will also play a significant role in shaping the European Central Bank's policy outlook [3] Group 4 - The upcoming holiday factors, such as Canada Day and U.S. Independence Day, are expected to reduce market liquidity, which could lead to more volatile market reactions to economic data and unexpected news [4] - In a low liquidity environment, even expected data releases may trigger more severe market movements, increasing the risk of "flash crashes" or "flash rallies" [4] Group 5 - The market is entering a critical period characterized by multiple intertwined uncertainties, including geopolitical risks, policy changes, conflicting macro data, and holiday liquidity [5] - Investors are advised to remain vigilant, focusing not only on the data results but also on their potential impacts on economic outlooks and policy expectations [5] - Effective risk management and flexible response strategies are essential in navigating this complex environment, as the market's next direction will largely depend on the evolution of these interacting forces [5]

Economic Growth and Structure - The Russian economy has shown resilience with an average GDP growth of over 4% in the past two years, surpassing the global average, and a 1.5% growth rate in the first four months of this year [2] - Non-resource GDP growth is more robust than overall growth, indicating a shift away from reliance on fossil fuel exports [2] - Inflation has decreased to single digits, allowing for potential cautious monetary policy easing [2] Transition to Balanced Growth - The key task for Russia this year is to ensure a transition to balanced economic growth, characterized by moderate inflation, low unemployment, and sustained positive development [3] - Five areas of transformation have been identified: changing employment and consumption patterns, optimizing the investment environment, enhancing technological innovation, improving the quality of foreign trade, and developing the military-industrial complex [3][4] Policy Discussions - The forum provided a platform for discussions on achieving a soft landing for the economy and structural changes, with varying opinions on the current economic situation [5][6] - The Ministry of Economic Development views the economy as being on the brink of crisis, while others believe it is merely in a cooling phase [6] Inflation and Monetary Policy - The central bank aims to maintain inflation at a target level of 4%, emphasizing the importance of sustainable economic growth [6] - There is a desire in the market for lower financing costs, with potential savings for the federal budget if the key interest rate is reduced [6] Currency Exchange Rate - The ruble is expected to gradually return to predicted levels as inflation eases and monetary policy is relaxed, with forecasts suggesting an average exchange rate of 94.3 rubles per dollar by 2025 [7] - Some experts argue for a moderate depreciation of the ruble to create favorable conditions for economic development [7]

Geopolitical and Economic Context - The U.S. launched an attack on Iranian nuclear facilities, leading to retaliatory actions from Iran, escalating geopolitical tensions. However, market fatigue regarding geopolitical risks has led investors to focus more on Federal Reserve policy and economic data, resulting in gold prices not significantly rising despite the conflict escalation. The uncertainty in geopolitical situations still provides some safe-haven support for gold [2] - Recent U.S. economic data shows signs of weakness, with May retail sales dropping 0.9%, significantly worse than the expected -0.1%, and industrial production unexpectedly declining by 0.2%. This indicates weakening consumer demand and manufacturing momentum, potentially heightening concerns about the difficulty of a "soft landing" for the U.S. economy, indirectly supporting gold's safe-haven attributes [2] - Hawkish signals from the Federal Reserve pushed the U.S. dollar index to a high of 99.03 on June 19, fluctuating around 98.64 on June 23. A stronger dollar directly suppresses gold priced in dollars, with New York gold futures facing pressure around $3,380. Additionally, the two-year Treasury yield dropped 5 basis points to 3.88%, while the ten-year yield remained above 4.2%. Rising real interest rates increase the opportunity cost of holding gold, leading to short-term pressure on gold prices [2] Technical Analysis of Gold - The spot gold price opened at $3,389.87 per ounce, experiencing significant fluctuations throughout the day, closing at $3,369.04 with a small bearish candle. The daily closing price is near the moving average, indicating potential oscillation around this level, with a downward bias in price structure [5] - Hourly price movements are entangled with moving averages, showing no clear direction. Currently near the previous day's low, it is advisable to wait for the market to choose a direction before taking action. The 15-minute chart indicates a strong downward movement at the previous day's close, suggesting the likelihood of new lows, with a recommendation to sell on rallies [6] Technical Analysis of Silver - Silver opened at $35.9665, showing intraday fluctuations with a slight upward bias, closing at $36.080 with a small doji candle. The closing price is above the 20-day moving average, with multiple retests indicating stabilization, suggesting a bullish outlook and opportunities for long positions [8] - The hourly chart indicates that the pullback is nearly complete, beginning a bottoming oscillation phase, with a mixed directional outlook. It is recommended to wait for the market to establish a clear direction before taking action. The 15-minute chart shows a significant drop at the previous day's close, finding support at the bottom, and currently showing signs of a rebound, likely within a range-bound movement [8]

Group 1 - The consumer confidence index in the U.S. unexpectedly rose to 60.5 in June, surpassing market expectations of 58.0, ending a five-month decline and signaling greater economic resilience than anticipated [1][3] - The rebound in consumer confidence is primarily driven by improved evaluations of the current job market and the gradual absorption of tariff impacts, which are providing support for consumer spending [1][3] Group 2 - Financial markets reacted swiftly to the data, with major U.S. stock indices continuing to rise; the Dow Jones Industrial Average increased by 0.72%, the S&P 500 rose by 0.81%, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.93% [4] - The rise in consumer confidence is interpreted as a sign that domestic demand may help the economy avoid recession, with technology and discretionary consumer sectors leading the gains [4] Group 3 - Despite the current rebound in consumer confidence, the market remains cautious about the U.S. economic outlook, with key data such as the FHFA house price index and the Richmond Fed manufacturing index yet to be released [5] - Goldman Sachs suggests that the rebound in consumer confidence may be temporary, citing rising credit card debt default rates and the resumption of student loan repayments as potential pressures on future consumer spending [5] Group 4 - The upcoming non-farm payroll report and core PCE data will be critical in determining whether the improvement in consumer confidence can be sustained [7] - If employment growth slows or inflation falls more than expected, it may prompt the Federal Reserve to signal clearer interest rate cuts, potentially increasing demand for gold as a safe-haven asset [7]
