智通财经APP获悉，难怪标普500指数屡创新高：分析师们正以近四年最快速度调高对本季度的盈利预期。花旗集团一 项追踪美股每股收益预期上调与下调相对数量的指数已升至2021年12月以来最高水平。而最近发布自身指引的公司也 展现出同样强劲的趋势。Bloomberg Intelligence的数据显示，一项将企业指引与华尔街共识预期进行对比的前瞻性指引 指标徘徊在近四年来的第二高水平。 这种更为乐观的前景与年初形成鲜明对比，当时对美国总统唐纳德·特朗普贸易政策的担忧达到顶峰，导致企业指引指 标降至十年来的最低点。 不过，美国企业可能还需要几个月的时间才能开始感受到特朗普贸易战对其供应链和利润率造成的全面打击。 PNC资产管理集团首席投资策略师Yung-Yu Ma表示："几个月前，分析师们就因关税问题而下调了盈利预期。现在人们 更加相信，关税不会像之前所担心的那样对经济造成毁灭性打击。但问题在于，大家都在等待未来几个月关税政策的 影响。" 美国企业盈利预期上修势头达2021年以来峰值 这或许可以解释为何全年预期仍未完全恢复到之前的水平。分析师的盈利预测显示，2025 年全年的增长率将为 9.2%，较年初的近 13%有 ...

《纽约时报》网站文章截图 根据耶鲁大学预算实验室的数据，关税将美国进口商品的平均税率推高至18%以上，达到自1934年以来 的最高水平，较2025年1月份的2.4%大幅上升。尽管这些税款由进口商、出口商和零售商缴纳，但许多 经济学家警告称，大部分成本最终将落到美国消费者头上。该国企业也表示已无法再消化关税带来的高 昂成本，消费者不得不为此买单。 中国日报网8月18日电 美国政府此前公布的经过调整的"对等关税"已经生效，美数十个贸易伙伴将被征 收10%至41%不等的关税，随之而来的便是被关税推高的物价。美国《纽约时报》刊文称，美国消费者 或许很快就会发现，大到汽车，小到一双鞋和一根香蕉，几乎所有商品的售价都会上涨。 耶鲁大学预算实验室的预测显示，服装、食品、汽车等日常消费品类别的价格涨幅最大，生鲜农产品价 格预计将上涨7%。短期内，鞋类价格预计将飙升40%，服装成本有可能上涨38%，新车的平均价格或跳 涨5800美元。 这些价格上涨可能会给本就难以跟上通胀步伐的家庭预算带来更大压力。"人们可能会越来越依赖借贷 来维持他们原本的生活方式。"战略咨询公司西蒙顾和（Simon-Kucher）北美地区消费者和零售业务负 ...

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The main contract price of rebar oscillated downward with a daily decline of 0.88%, showing a pattern of increasing volume and decreasing positions. In the current situation of stable supply and weak demand growth, the fundamentals of rebar continue to weaken. During the off - season, steel prices are still prone to pressure. The relative positives are the significant increase in costs and the limited real - world contradictions under low inventory, which limit the downward space. In the short term, the price will continue to show a weakly oscillating trend, and attention should be paid to the demand performance [4][37]. - The main contract price of hot - rolled coil oscillated weakly with a daily decline of 0.20%, also showing increasing volume and decreasing positions. At present, the supply - demand pattern of hot - rolled coil has improved, but demand concerns remain, and supply is expected to increase. The fundamentals have not improved substantially. The relative positives are cost increases and production restrictions. With the game of multiple and short factors, the price of hot - rolled coil is expected to continue to oscillate, and attention should be paid to the production situation of steel mills [4][38]. - The main contract price of iron ore oscillated downward with a daily decline of 0.64%, showing an increase in both volume and positions. Currently, the demand for iron ore has good resilience, which supports the ore price. However, the supply of ore has increased, the fundamentals have not improved substantially, and the valuation is relatively high, so the upward driving force is not strong. It is expected that the ore price will continue to oscillate at a high level, and attention should be paid to the performance of finished steel [4][38]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Industry Dynamics - The Trump administration in the US announced an expansion of the scope of the 50% tariff on steel and aluminum imports, including hundreds of derivative products in the tariff list. The expanded tariff list took effect on August 18, 2025 [6]. - In July 2025, the wholesale sales of national passenger vehicle manufacturers reached 2.22 million units, a year - on - year increase of 13% and a month - on - month decrease of 11%. From January to July, the wholesale sales were 15.5 million units, a year - on - year increase of 12.4%. The wholesale growth rate of independent car companies was 20% year - on - year, while that of luxury cars decreased by 16% year - on - year [7]. - In July 2025, China exported 6.13 million tons of steel plates, a year - on - year increase of 19.0%. From January to July, the cumulative export was 42.45 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 2.3%. In July, the export of steel bars was 1.59 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 77.2%, and the cumulative export from January to July was 10.62 million tons, a year - on - year increase of 52.4% [8]. 3.2 Spot Market - The spot prices of rebar in Shanghai and Tianjin were 3,280 and 3,320 respectively, with the national average price at 3,374, showing a decrease of 10 and 0 respectively compared to the previous period, and the national average decreased by 10. The spot prices of hot - rolled coil in Shanghai and Tianjin were 3,450 and 3,410 respectively, with the national average price at 3,501, showing a decrease of 10 and 10 respectively compared to the previous period, and the national average increased by 3 [9]. - The price of 61.5% PB powder at Shandong ports was 770, a decrease of 2 compared to the previous period, and the price of Tangshan iron concentrate was 778, remaining unchanged [9]. 3.3 Futures Market - The closing price of the rebar futures main contract was 3,155, a decrease of 0.88%, with a trading volume of 1,316,477 and an open interest of 1,609,893, showing an increase in volume and a decrease in positions [11]. - The closing price of the hot - rolled coil futures main contract was 3,419, a decrease of 0.20%, with a trading volume of 503,900 and an open interest of 1,202,731, also showing an increase in volume and a decrease in positions [11]. - The closing price of the iron ore futures main contract was 772.0, a decrease of 0.64%, with a trading volume of 281,507 and an open interest of 448,903, showing an increase in both volume and positions [11]. 3.4 Related Charts - The report provides multiple charts related to steel and iron ore inventories, including weekly changes in rebar and hot - rolled coil inventories, iron ore inventories at 45 ports, and inventories of 247 steel mills [13][18][20]. - It also includes charts related to steel mill production, such as the blast furnace operating rate and capacity utilization of 247 sample steel mills, the operating rate of 87 independent electric furnaces, and the profit situation of 75 building material independent electric arc furnace steel mills [30][32][36]. 3.5 Market Outlook - For rebar, the supply - demand pattern continues to weaken. The production of construction steel mills is stable, with a slight decrease in weekly output. Demand has weakened, and during the off - season, prices are still under pressure. However, cost increases and low inventory limit the downward space, so the short - term trend will continue to be weakly oscillating [37]. - For hot - rolled coil, the supply - demand pattern has improved, but demand concerns remain, and supply is expected to increase. With the game of multiple and short factors, the price is expected to continue to oscillate [38]. - For iron ore, the supply - demand pattern has weakened. Although demand resilience supports the price, supply has increased, and the upward driving force is not strong, so the price is expected to continue to oscillate at a high level [38].

Core Viewpoint - The global automotive industry is experiencing a significant decline in profits across major multinational companies, attributed to various external and internal factors, including new U.S. tariff policies and the transition to electric vehicles [1][2][4].

Core Points - President Trump's dual plan for tariff revenue includes repaying the $37 trillion national debt and potentially distributing part of the revenue to the public [1] - Current tariff revenue is insufficient to cover interest payments on the national debt, with July interest payments totaling $60.95 billion compared to tariff revenue of $29.6 billion [2] - Economic optimism exists regarding the ability to manage debt through growth, but warnings from key financial figures indicate potential risks [2][5] Group 1 - Trump's tariffs are expected to generate significant revenue, but experts argue that this revenue will not substantially reduce the national debt [4][5] - The White House claims that the debt-to-GDP ratio has decreased since Trump's presidency, attributing this to growth policies and tariff revenue [4] - Economic analysts express skepticism about the feasibility of using tariff revenue to repay debt, emphasizing the need for substantial annual borrowing [5] Group 2 - Concerns about the U.S. debt situation are heightened by the reliance on foreign investors, with approximately 26% of U.S. debt held by them [6] - Market confidence in U.S. debt remains stable, as evidenced by consistent bond yields, despite skepticism about unconventional debt management strategies [6] - The debate continues over who ultimately bears the cost of tariffs, with differing views on whether foreign entities or American consumers will shoulder the burden [7] Group 3 - The ongoing debt issue is characterized as a "coward's game," with successive governments increasing debt without implementing unpopular policies to address it [7] - A report from the Conference Board suggests that a debt crisis is imminent, proposing a six-year plan to reduce the debt-to-GDP ratio significantly [8]
