可以说，我国选择瑞士中立国，而不是美国主场，和美国会谈，就是定调中美经贸谈判要在平等的基础上，以对等方式 会谈，中方定调不会有任何改变。随后，我外交部发言人特别强调一句，"此次会谈是应美方请求举行，中方坚决反对美 国滥用关税这一立场没有任何改变。"这说明美国才是中美关税大战中，真正坐不住的一方。以特朗普为首的美国政府为 什么坐不住呢？四个字：局势不利。中美关税博弈的结果，就是越来越多国家站在我国一边，相反美国有点众叛亲离的 味道。 对于中美间谈判全球渴望已久，更包括美国在内。国际货币基金组织、经合组织和世界银行的全球经济学家都预测，特 朗普的贸易战将对全球经济造成灾难性影响，预计美国将成为受打击最严重的经济体之一。许多美国经济学家和大型银 行预测，美国经济今年可能陷入衰退。当然，一次谈判肯定解决不了中美之间长久以来的问题。美国财长贝森特似乎也 很清楚，出发前他在接受福克斯新闻采访时表示，这次谈判将"与缓和局势有关，而不是与重大贸易协议有关"。 据人民日报报道，外交部发言人林剑表示，美方近期不断表示希望同中方进行谈判。这次的会谈是应美方请求举行的。 中方坚决反对美国滥施关税，这一立场没有任何变化。同时，我们也多 ...

Core Viewpoint - The recent back-and-forth between China and the U.S. regarding tariffs highlights a complex negotiation strategy, where the U.S. appears to extend an olive branch while simultaneously implementing punitive measures, creating confusion about the sincerity of their negotiation intentions [1][3][5]. Group 1: U.S. Tariff Policy Changes - The U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced the cancellation of the tax exemption policy for cross-border packages valued under $800, affecting a significant volume of Chinese goods entering the U.S. daily [5][7]. - This policy change is expected to impact numerous Chinese e-commerce platforms, such as TEMU and SHEIN, which handle millions of packages daily, leading to increased costs for consumers and businesses alike [12][14]. Group 2: Implications for E-commerce - The cancellation of the $800 exemption is particularly targeted at the fast-moving consumer goods sector, which has seen a 34% increase in exports from China to the U.S. in 2023, with 70% of these goods valued under $800 [25][27]. - The new policy could raise the end prices of goods by 20-30%, significantly affecting the business models of platforms like SHEIN, which relies heavily on low-cost, high-volume sales [14][16]. Group 3: Strategic Responses - The timing of the U.S. policy change, occurring shortly after China's diplomatic overtures, suggests a calculated strategy to test China's response while maintaining a façade of negotiation [16][19]. - China's response has been measured, focusing on maintaining dialogue without committing to specific timelines, indicating a strategic approach to avoid escalating tensions [19][21]. Group 4: Broader Economic Context - The ongoing tariff battle reflects a shift in focus from traditional goods to the burgeoning cross-border e-commerce sector, indicating a new battleground in U.S.-China trade relations [23][29]. - The complexities of the current trade dynamics suggest that both nations are navigating a delicate balance of cooperation and competition, with potential implications for global trade patterns [31][33].

Group 1 - The report indicates that the bond market experienced a rapid bull run in early April, followed by a period of stabilization, with the 10-year treasury yield fluctuating between 1.62% and 1.67% during this consolidation phase [1][11][12] - In May, the funding environment is expected to remain supportive for the bond market, with a historical trend showing that funding rates typically ease further in May compared to April, aided by a reduction in tax payment pressures [2][20][28] - The report highlights three key factors influencing the bond market in May: tariffs, economic fundamentals, and policy responses, with a focus on the ongoing US-China tariff negotiations and their potential impact on market sentiment [3][35][52] Group 2 - The report notes that the central bank's stance has softened since April, leading to a return of funding rates to a "reasonable state," which is expected to support the bond market [2][28][31] - It is projected that government bond supply will significantly increase in May, with net issuance expected to reach 1.53 trillion yuan, nearly doubling from April, which may create short-term fluctuations in funding costs [2][31][32] - The report outlines three scenarios for investment strategies in May, emphasizing the importance of selecting short-term bonds as the most favorable option, while also considering longer-duration positions to capitalize on potential rate cuts [5][54][56]

Core Viewpoint - The market for butanol and isobutanol has experienced significant price declines since January 2024, with butanol prices dropping over 40% and isobutanol prices down approximately 4% year-to-date, indicating ongoing supply-demand challenges in the second quarter [1][2][3]. Group 1: Butanol Market Analysis - Since January 2024, the price of industrial-grade butanol in Shandong has decreased to 6350-6400 RMB per ton, a decline of 9.5% from the beginning of the year [1]. - The first quarter of 2024 saw butanol prices fall from 7025 RMB in early January to around 6600 RMB by the end of March, reflecting a cumulative decline of over 6% [2]. - The butanol market is expected to continue its weak consolidation in the second quarter, with prices projected to fluctuate between 6000-6700 RMB, driven by high operating rates and slow inventory digestion [4]. Group 2: Isobutanol Market Analysis - The isobutanol market also faced downward pressure, with prices fluctuating significantly due to factors such as downstream stocking rhythms and factory inventory strategies [3]. - In early April, isobutanol prices fell below the first quarter's low, indicating a cautious market sentiment and intensified supply-demand negotiations [3]. - The second quarter may see isobutanol prices initially decline before potentially recovering, with projected prices in the range of 7300-7800 RMB, influenced by seasonal demand and supply adjustments [4]. Group 3: Impact of Tariff Wars - The ongoing US-China tariff conflict has had a limited direct impact on the butanol and isobutanol markets due to the relatively small volume of trade between the two countries [5]. - However, the tariff situation has adversely affected exports of certain PVC products, such as gloves, which could indirectly suppress demand for isobutanol, as these products are significant in the downstream consumption of plasticizers [6]. - The export volume of PVC gloves to the US reached 215,300 tons, accounting for over 47% of total exports, which may impact domestic consumption of dioctyl terephthalate (DOTP) and subsequently affect isobutanol demand [6].

让人意外的是，特朗普紧接着又改口了，当地时间4月25号，他在空军一号飞机上表示，除非中国做出 实质性让步，否则不会取消对华加税。远的不说，就说近一个周以来，特朗普先是承认对华加税过高， 表示下步将大幅降税，并喊话中国与美方达成协议，眼下又食言而肥，称"不会取消对华加税"，这种自 相矛盾的说法，明显不是正常人所为，让人对特朗普政府对外政策的不确定性产生了深深担忧。从美股 的行情来看，特朗普每一次对华改口都有迹可循。本月中旬，特朗普对华加税145%后，美股、美元指 数大跌，特斯拉等股票损失数百亿美元，于是特朗普紧急降温，对75国"暂缓加税"，并对美国进口电子 产品进行关税豁免。 4月21号美股开盘大跌，其中道琼斯指数跌超700点，纳斯达克指数跌2.6%，标普跌超2%，美元指数跌 到98。特朗普随即改口称对华税率太高，计划降税，市场松口气后，美股连续4天上扬。眼下特朗普的 态度变化，是趁着美股的涨势，对华卷土重来。对此中国的老朋友希腊给出了建议，希腊前财长亚斯尼 ·瓦鲁法基斯支持中国继续在关税问题上对抗美国，理由是特朗普的关税政策不是简单的中美博弈，而 是美国统治阶级为了维护自身权益的"主动策略"，如果加税的代价由 ...
