2025年，这些影响将主要体现在投资领域，而出口方面则会相对较少，随着美 国加大将制造业和生产活动"回流"国内的力度，东南亚地区吸引外资将面临日 益激烈的竞争。外国直接投资可能会越来越多地从东南亚转向其他地区，使该 地区争夺剩余资金的竞争加剧。认为马来西亚7.5%的GDP来自对美出口，而总 出口额占经济总量超过75%，使马来西亚在面对高达25%的美国关税时处于不 利地位，马来西亚电气设备行业等关键出口产业极易受到冲击。预计马来西亚 2025年的GDP增长可能将跌破4%，而若关税持续存在，2026年经济增速甚至 可能进一步大幅下降。 关于美国方面，亨德森表示，作为全球最大的经济体，美国自身也难以避免影 响。高关税将推高生产成本、削弱国内需求，进而抑制GDP增长。此外，高关 税还可能限制美联储在短期内降息的能力，导致宏观政策环境更为复杂和严 峻。 （原标题：美国关税政策可能影响东盟五国GDP增长） 《越通社》7月18日转载《马来西亚国家新闻社》（Bernama）报道，东南 亚地区经济学家塔玛拉·马斯特·亨德森博士（Tamara Mast Henderson）在马来 西亚CIMB证券公司7月17日发布的报告中指出， ...

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - The rating for stock index futures is "oscillation" [4] 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The economic data in June 2025 was mixed. Although the Q2 GDP growth exceeded expectations, the demand declined significantly in June, with negative month - on - month growth in social retail and fixed - asset investment. Constraints on China's economic rebound are accumulating, including declining resident income, deteriorating real estate, and deepening deflation. For the stock market, due to the negative beta truncation effect of the national team's entry into the market, funds continue to drive the stock index up. It is recommended to allocate each stock index evenly to cope with the rapidly rotating market [1][2][8] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 June Economic Data Analysis - **GDP situation**: The real GDP in Q2 increased by 5.2% year - on - year, exceeding market expectations. The Q2 GDP had a 1.1% quarter - on - quarter growth, better than last year. However, the nominal GDP growth rate in Q2 was only 3.94%, a 0.65% decline from Q1. Low prices are still eroding the real growth rate [8] - **Supply - demand situation**: On the supply side, the industrial added value and service production index in June maintained a growth rate of about 6%. On the demand side, the year - on - year growth rates of social retail and fixed - asset investment in June were 4.8% and - 0.1% respectively, lower than market expectations and showing a decline from the previous month. The month - on - month growth rates were negative, at a poor level compared to historical data. Consumption growth highly depends on subsidies, and the fiscal impulse from the early issuance of national debt is fading [12] - **Real estate situation**: In June, the real estate investment growth rate was - 12.9%. The new construction area and sales area and amount all showed negative growth, and housing prices were accelerating their decline. The total capital source of real estate enterprises was still in a low - level shock. The real estate market has been deteriorating since Q2, and policies are needed to stop the decline [20] - **Resident income situation**: In Q2, the growth rate of per - capita disposable income of residents was 5.08%, a 0.47% decline from Q1. Except for the increase in transfer net income, other income sources such as wage income and business net income declined. The pressure on domestic consumption will increase in the second half of the year [27] - **Industrial capacity utilization situation**: The industrial capacity utilization rate in Q2 was 74%, a 0.1% decline from Q1. The mining and public utility industries were the main drags, while the manufacturing industry increased slightly. Some industries such as electronic information manufacturing and electrical equipment manufacturing saw an increase in capacity utilization, which may be related to export and investment [31] 3.2 Investment Suggestions - Although theoretically a GDP growth rate of about 4.7% in the second half of the year can achieve the full - year target, there are accumulating unfavorable factors for the economic rebound. It is necessary to increase the subsidy for consumer goods replacement and the efforts to stabilize the real estate market. For the stock market, unless there is a major change in US tariffs on China or a rapid decline in China's economic growth in Q3, the market may still ignore the fundamentals and remain in a high - level oscillation. It is recommended to evenly allocate each stock index to cope with the rapidly rotating market [2][35]
