新华财经北京5月20日电 2025年1-4月中旬,宏观消息面疲软,中美加征对等关税、终端需求不及预期 等利空消息面不断释放,导致国内二甲苯市场商谈价格基本呈现震荡下行趋势,价格跌至近五年低位水 平。而随着中美贸易摩擦缓和提振市场信心,叠加终端聚酯预期外的高开工以及终端织机开机率的提 升,推动PTA-PX产业链供需向好,下游PX价格连日上涨,MX-PX价差拉大,短流程生产微跌,下游 PX企业阶段性集中采购原料MX,多重利好推动二甲苯市场价格快速上涨。以江苏异构二甲苯市场为 例,5月14日市场商谈价格最高涨至6050元/吨,较5月6日低点上涨650元/吨,涨幅高达12%。 1-4月宏观消息面疲软叠加需求不及预期,市场商谈价格下跌且交投活跃度低。 2025年1-4月中旬,受国内主营炼厂常减压开工负荷较低叠加海外调油需求尚可等利好支撑,调油经济 性尚可,国内二甲苯生产企业自用为主,外销有限,使得国内二甲苯总供应偏紧。以江苏主港二甲苯到 货量及库存为例,1-4月份江苏主港月度平均到货量仅有2万吨左右,除去春节假期期间二甲苯库存小幅 累积外,整体库存呈现下降趋势,至4月中上旬,港口库存最低降至0.71万吨,较2021年末 ...

黄金抹平4月涨幅,后续如何抉择?

Summary of Key Points from Conference Call Industry Overview - The discussion primarily revolves around the **gold market** and its dynamics in relation to macroeconomic factors, particularly focusing on the impact of U.S.-China trade relations and U.S. economic data. Core Insights and Arguments 1. **April Gold Price Adjustment**: The adjustment in gold prices in late April was attributed to the visibility of macro narratives, such as the difficulty of achieving de-dollarization in the short term and positive signals from U.S.-China negotiations. Additionally, despite weak U.S. economic data, the decline in interest rate expectations was delayed, leading to a shift of risk-averse funds towards risk assets [1][4][5]. 2. **Short-term Price Predictions**: In the short term, gold prices are expected to stabilize with limited upward or downward drivers, forming a new platform for sideways trading. The positive factors from trade tensions have been fully priced in, and U.S. economic data remains resilient [6][23]. 3. **Long-term Bullish Outlook**: The long-term bullish logic for gold remains unchanged, with the U.S.-China tariff situation not reversing. A 30% tariff has been established, with potential fluctuations of 24% in the future. The negative economic impact of tariffs and their positive influence on gold prices are expected to persist [7][8]. 4. **U.S. Economic Data**: The first quarter GDP showed resilience, driven by private consumption and investment, but trade deficits pose significant negative impacts. The trend of "import grabbing" supports short-term data but is unsustainable in the long run [9]. 5. **Dollar Credit Contraction**: Long-term factors contributing to the contraction of U.S. dollar credit include de-globalization, excessive debt issuance, and the rise of domestic AI. These factors collectively indicate a prolonged contraction cycle for dollar credit [10][11]. 6. **Impact of Trade Relations on Gold**: The ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions are expected to continue influencing the U.S. economy, with the likelihood of recession increasing if interest rate cuts are delayed. This scenario supports the bullish outlook for gold [8][9]. 7. **Manufacturing Repatriation Challenges**: The U.S. manufacturing repatriation plan aims to reduce trade deficits but faces high costs and effectiveness concerns. Successful implementation could pressure gold prices in the medium to long term, but the plan's feasibility is questionable [14][15]. 8. **Gold Price Sensitivity to Trade Agreements**: If the U.S. reaches tariff reduction agreements with other countries, leading to increased exports and reduced trade deficits, this could exert downward pressure on gold prices. However, the actual impact remains uncertain due to the complexities of trade dependencies [14]. 9. **Central Bank Gold Purchases**: Central banks are expected to continue purchasing gold as a strategic move against dollar credit contraction and to support internationalization efforts, particularly in the context of the RMB [17][18]. 10. **Market Dynamics Between Different Gold Markets**: Shanghai gold has shown stronger performance compared to New York and London gold, reflecting robust domestic demand and confidence among Chinese investors. The long-term outlook suggests that domestic gold prices may outperform due to the underlying economic conditions [21][22]. Other Important Insights - The volatility in gold prices during April was linked to external risk asset declines, leading to liquidity squeezes, which have historical precedents [3]. - The potential for gold price rebounds exists, but achieving a sustained upward trend is challenging given the current market conditions [13]. - The effectiveness of U.S. manufacturing repatriation is under scrutiny, with historical precedents indicating only marginal improvements during past trade tensions [16]. This comprehensive analysis highlights the intricate relationship between gold prices, macroeconomic indicators, and geopolitical factors, providing a nuanced understanding of the current and future landscape of the gold market.

中国经济展望:因关税缓和上调中国增长预测
2025-05-18 14:09
China and the US both lowered the "reciprocal" tariff rates significantly and agreed to continue discussions and negotiations (see our earlier report), possibly with the framework of Phase One Deal as the starting point. We estimate that the weighted average incremental US tariff rate on Chinese goods in 2025 YTD is around 30% (ad valorem, vs 96% before the de-escalation), which is still very damaging for China's exports and growth. There is still significant uncertainty around future US-China negotiations, ...

Core Viewpoint - The recent temporary suspension of tariffs between China and the U.S. has brought renewed hope to businesses in Yiwu, particularly those heavily reliant on exports to the U.S. market, which had been severely impacted by the previous high tariffs [1][17]. Group 1: Impact of Tariffs on Yiwu Businesses - Yiwu merchants experienced significant disruptions due to the U.S. tariffs, which escalated to 145%, leading to halted operations and unsold inventory [3][5][6]. - High tariffs particularly affected businesses like Gao Zhi's baseball cap factory, where U.S. orders accounted for 40%-50% of sales, making it unfeasible to operate under such conditions [6][8]. - The Yiwu market, known for its diverse export destinations, has shown resilience, with some merchants adapting by exploring new markets and products [2][12]. Group 2: Business Adaptation Strategies - Merchants in Yiwu are increasingly diversifying their markets, learning new languages, and seeking opportunities in emerging markets to mitigate risks associated with reliance on the U.S. [2][13]. - Some businesses, like Nie Ziqin's, are pivoting to domestic sales and exploring new product lines to cope with the downturn in international orders [7][10]. - The Yiwu Index, a measure of market trends, reflects the adaptability of local merchants who are accustomed to navigating global uncertainties [11][12]. Group 3: Recovery and Future Outlook - Following the announcement of the tariff suspension, Yiwu merchants quickly resumed operations, with many preparing to ship previously stalled orders [17][18]. - The temporary 90-day window for tariff suspension is seen as a critical period for businesses to recover and fulfill outstanding orders, particularly for seasonal products like Halloween masks [15][18]. - Merchants are optimistic about the future, believing that the high tariffs will not last long and that demand will eventually return to normal levels [14][17].
供应预期增加 需求支撑有限 PVC市场跌势难改
Zhong Guo Chan Ye Jing Ji Xin Xi Wang· 2025-05-15 22:55
Group 1: Market Overview - The PVC market has been experiencing a downward trend since April, with prices in East China dropping to 4730 yuan per ton as of May 8, a decrease of 140 yuan or 2.87% from April 1 [1] - Supply expectations are increasing due to limited maintenance during the conventional repair season and the introduction of new production capacities [2] Group 2: Supply Dynamics - The maintenance period for PVC production is expected to last from April to August, with production rates increasing post-holiday [2] - PVC production is projected to reach 474,000 tons during the period from May 3 to 9, reflecting a 2.4% increase compared to the previous period [2] - Planned maintenance capacity in April was approximately 5.7 million tons, which is a 20.94% decrease compared to the previous two years, limiting effective supply reduction [2] Group 3: Demand Factors - Domestic demand for PVC is supported by stimulus policies in the real estate market, but overall demand remains weak due to uncertainties from the US-China trade disputes [3] - The construction and renovation sectors are expected to drive traditional PVC demand, but low operating rates in PVC pipe and profile enterprises indicate weak internal demand [3] - India, as the largest export destination for Chinese PVC, poses risks due to anti-dumping policies, potentially affecting over 700,000 tons of PVC consumption [3] Group 4: Cost Considerations - The domestic PVC production primarily uses the calcium carbide method, but the proportion of ethylene-based PVC is gradually increasing, reaching 27.91% as of April [4] - The reliance on imported ethane for ethylene production could lead to increased costs if tariffs are imposed, potentially pushing production costs above the breakeven point [4][5] - The impact of US-China trade tensions may raise the cost of imported ethane, affecting coastal ethylene projects, although the overall effect on PVC powder may be limited due to diverse raw material sources [5]
