The probability of price increases after four rounds of price cuts is low [5]. - For coking coal, supply has tightened recently, and the inventory structure has improved. However, there is a strong expectation of coal mine resumption, and the terminal demand is under pressure [5]. Zhengzhou Sugar - Affected by the expected good harvest in Thailand and India, and the 22.1% decrease in Brazil's sugar production in the first half of June, the US sugar price fell on Monday, and the Zhengzhou sugar 2509 contract declined on Tuesday [5]. Rubber - Due to excessive rainfall in Thailand affecting rubber tapping, the spot price in Southeast Asia has been firm. The Shanghai rubber futures rose on Tuesday and fluctuated slightly at night. The inventory in Qingdao Port continued to increase [6][7]. Palm Oil - On July 1, palm oil was in a volatile state, closing at 8336, up 0.07%. As of June 27, the commercial inventory of palm oil in key regions increased by 23.57% week - on - week and 25.67% year - on - year [7]. Soybean Meal - Internationally, on July 1, CBOT soybeans fluctuated. The good condition of US soybeans was offset by the rise in soybean oil prices. Domestically, the soybean meal M2509 contract closed at 2961 yuan/ton on July 1. With sufficient soybean imports and high oil mill operating rates, soybean meal inventory will gradually increase, and it will run weakly [8]. Live Pigs - On July 1, the live pig futures contract LH2509 closed at 13865 yuan/ton, down 0.04%. The market is in a state of loose supply and demand, and the futures will run weakly [9]. Copper - Macroscopically, copper prices are supported by tight mines and low inventory, but the slowdown of Fed rate cuts and US tariff policies limit the upside. Fundamentally, overseas premiums drive LME copper inventory reduction, and domestic social inventory is lower than last year, so copper prices will continue to be strong [9]. Iron Ore - On July 1, the iron ore 2509 contract fell 1.32% to close at 708.5 yuan. Overseas shipments and domestic arrivals have decreased, while steel mills' blast furnace profits are good, and iron ore will fluctuate in the short term [9]. Asphalt - On July 1, the asphalt 2509 contract rose 0.17% to close at 3562 yuan. The processing profit has improved slightly, but demand is still weak, and the price will fluctuate in the short term [10]. Logs - On July 1, the log 2509 contract opened at 784, with a low of 778, a high of 789, and closed at 787, with an increase of 48 lots.

The cotton inventory in Xinjiang's designated delivery warehouses decreased by 62 lots [11]. Steel - On July 1, rb2510 closed at 3003 yuan/ton, and hc2510 closed at 3136 yuan/ton. The black - series rebound has paused, and although there are rumors of production cuts, terminal demand is still weak [11]. Alumina - Under the situation of supply surplus in the third quarter, alumina prices will be mainly determined by cost. The price is under pressure due to the expected large - scale new production capacity in the future [12]. Aluminum - The supply of electrolytic aluminum is close to the industry limit. Although terminal demand is in the off - season, the processing link has maintained a certain level of demand. Low inventory is currently supporting aluminum prices, but there is a risk of demand weakening in the future [12].

Core Viewpoint - The ongoing supply chain battle between China and the U.S. is intensifying, with the U.S. employing export controls as a central issue in trade negotiations, while China retaliates by controlling rare earth supplies [1][3]. Group 1: Supply Chain Dynamics - The U.S. has implemented stringent measures in the chip sector, effectively isolating China, while China has responded by leveraging its control over rare earth resources [1][6]. - China has adopted a "dual-line" strategy in rare earth exports, tightening controls on critical materials while easing restrictions on ordinary rare earths to meet civilian demand [6][4]. Group 2: Export Control Measures - Since April 2023, China has introduced an export licensing system for seven critical minerals, leading to a complete halt in exports of certain rare earths like terbium and dysprosium, which were previously exported in significant quantities [3][4]. - The U.S. has felt the pressure from these export restrictions, with companies like Ford experiencing production halts due to a lack of rare earth magnets essential for manufacturing [4][6]. Group 3: International Reactions - The G7 countries are collaborating on a "critical minerals action plan" to counter China's rare earth strategy, with the U.S. pushing for resource development in regions like Greenland and Canada [6][7]. - Despite these efforts, China maintains a dominant position, controlling 80% to 90% of the global rare earth supply, making it challenging for the U.S. and its allies to reduce dependency [6][7]. Group 4: Future Implications - The control of rare earth resources is pivotal in the trade war, with potential significant impacts on U.S. high-tech industries if China escalates export restrictions [7]. - The effectiveness of any agreements between the two nations will depend on the U.S.'s genuine commitment to reducing trade friction, as past behaviors have led to skepticism from China [7].

中美达成了一项关于稀土供应的"谅解协议"，这不仅仅是一次简单的贸易往来，更像是一场博弈中的战术撤退。中国向美国企业发放了有效期仅六个月的稀 土出口许可证，涵盖风力涡轮机、喷气式飞机等多种用途，而作为回应，美国撤销了五月实施的对华限制措施。这一举动看似是对抗中的短暂和平，实则是 中方策略性的一招。 短期性的许可证安排，既保证了供应链短期内的稳定，也给未来留下了足够的谈判空间和反制筹码。 在中美贸易战的背景下，特朗普计划率领包括马斯克（特斯拉）、黄仁勋（英伟达）在内的十名顶尖CEO访华的消息，无疑为这场紧张的关系带来了新的变 数。 这些行业巨头代表着新能源、人工智能、半导体等关键领域，他们对中国市场的依赖程度极高。此次访问不仅是商界对政治决策的一种无声抗议，更是对美 国对华"脱钩"政策失败的公开承认。面对国内债务危机、低迷的支持率以及经济压力，特朗普不得不寻求与中国的合作以缓解内部矛盾。 特朗普可能希望通过这次访问解决美债危机，挽救其不断下滑的支持率，并缓解中美之间的经贸压力。随着中国连续减持美债，美元霸权受到了前所未有的 挑战。同时，由于贸易战的影响，美国经济增长放缓，就业市场受损。 而且，截至目前为止，没有任 ...

Summary of Conference Call Notes Industry Overview - The focus is on the Chinese government bond market, specifically the 10-year treasury bonds and their yield performance [1][2][3].

特朗普上任不到6个月，对中国出现3次重大误判。如果特朗普迟迟不改正，美国迟早会为此付出代价。 1月20日，特朗普再次登上了美国总统的位子，特朗普也成为了美国第二个间隔连任的美国总统，也是第一个背负很多项指控的总统。 自从特朗普上台到如今，不到半年的时间，就在对华政策上接连出现错误的判断，这些误判不仅让美国在经贸战中自食恶果，更是体现了美国对中国发展的 错误解读。 特朗普的第一个误判就是关税，特朗普政府信心满满，觉得只要对中国商品加征高额关税，就能把中国逼到谈判桌前，让中国全盘接受美国提出的苛刻贸易 条件，从而主导中美贸易交锋的走向。 一方面，实施对等关税反制，你加税，我也加，一点不落下风；另一方面，出台新的出口限制，从源头上对美国进行反制。 中国还在WTO起诉美国的关税战，联合欧盟、金砖国家发起了反单边主义贸易联盟，原本想靠着145%的高关税来逼中国求饶，没想到美国农民就先因为大 豆等农产品的滞销，发起了抗议。 特朗普政府想象着中国会因为害怕失去美国这个大市场，而不得不做出让步。可现实却是中国留有后手。中国面对美国的贸易霸凌，没有如特朗普所想的那 样，而是采取了反制措施。 根据4月份的报告显示，中国对美出口的 ...
