Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core View This week, the precious metals market was affected by the Fed's interest - rate cut expectations and Trump's tariffs, with increased market volatility, and the silver price fluctuated more significantly. The Shanghai Silver market continued its strong trend, and market activity increased significantly [2]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Market Overview and Market Review - **Overall Market Performance**: From July 14 - 18, 2025, the price difference between the near - month contract 2508 and the main contract 2509 of Shanghai Silver futures was 16 points, and the overall market volatility was not large. The closing price of Shanghai Silver 2508 was 9246, up 123 points or 1.35%, with a trading volume of 90514 and an amplitude of 2.05%, and a position of 136900. The closing price of Shanghai Silver 2509 was 9262, up 129 points or 1.41%, with a trading volume of 14917, an amplitude of 2.01%, and a position of 35200 [3]. 3.2 Influence Factor Analysis - **International Aspect**: On the 18th local time, US President Trump urged Fed Chairman Powell to cut interest rates on social media. Recently, Trump has repeatedly pressured Powell to cut interest rates. On July 15, Trump said that the Fed should cut interest rates by 3 percentage points, which could save one trillion dollars a year [9][10]. - **Data Aspect**: In June, the US PPI was flat month - on - month, and the May data was revised up to a 0.3% increase. It was the mildest annual increase since last September, up 2.3% year - on - year. The core PPI, excluding food, energy, and trade services, was also flat, up 2.5% year - on - year, the smallest increase since the end of 2023. The previously released CPI increased by 0.3% monthly [10]. - **Tariff Aspect**: The current breakthrough in the market may be driven by the intensification of tariff conflicts. After Trump announced a 30% tariff increase on Mexico and the EU, Mexico quickly condemned it as "unfair treatment" and launched an anti - dumping investigation on caustic soda, with the possibility of further escalation of policy confrontation [10]. 3.3 Conclusion and Outlook Trump's renewed pressure on Powell to cut interest rates soon boosted the silver price to a certain extent. However, the good economic data released by the US last week cooled the expectations of interest - rate cuts, and the US dollar rebounded. In the short - term, the silver price will fluctuate with a slightly upward trend [11].
特朗普致函李在明,宣布加征25%关税,外媒:强调不许韩国反制
Sou Hu Cai Jing· 2025-07-10 06:18
Core Viewpoint - The recent announcement by Trump to impose a 25% tariff on South Korean products poses significant challenges for the newly elected President Lee Jae-myung, complicating his efforts to address domestic issues while facing external pressures [4][6]. Group 1: Tariff Impact on South Korea - The 25% tariff is a strategic pressure tactic by the U.S., with South Korea serving as a demonstration target for other nations [6]. - If implemented, the automotive industry in South Korea will be severely affected, with annual exports to the U.S. amounting to $34.7 billion, nearly half of its total automotive exports [10]. - The cost per vehicle for Hyundai could increase by approximately $3,800, leading to a profit margin reduction of over 30% [10]. Group 2: South Korea's Response - The South Korean government is attempting to frame the tariff threat as a temporary measure and has committed to urgent negotiations before August 1 [12]. - A domestic industry rescue fund of 30 trillion won has been initiated to mitigate the impact of the tariffs [12]. - Despite having a 40% share in the global memory chip market and a quarter of the U.S. electric vehicle battery market, South Korea's leverage is limited due to its military and financial dependence on the U.S. [12][14]. Group 3: Diplomatic and Economic Context - The recent tariff conflict reflects deeper issues in the U.S.-South Korea alliance, with South Korea's trade deficit with the U.S. reaching $66 billion in 2024, primarily in the automotive sector [15]. - The exclusion of South Korea from tariff exemptions, while other countries like the UK and Vietnam were granted such exemptions, has sparked significant domestic outrage [15]. - International reactions include criticism from Brazil and the EU, with potential retaliatory measures being discussed by other nations, indicating a broader economic impact [15].

沥青供需格局有望延续,市场矛盾不突出
Hua Tai Qi Huo· 2025-07-06 12:48
1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - The asphalt market currently shows a pattern of weak supply and demand, with low inventory and a lower-than-seasonal inventory accumulation rate in the first half of the year. Supply pressure and market contradictions are limited, providing support for spot prices but lacking upward momentum. - Looking ahead to the second half of the year, there are no significant expected changes in the supply and demand of asphalt. The seasonal recovery of terminal demand and the marginal improvement of refinery tax pressure are insufficient to form a new trend. With weak fundamental drivers in the asphalt market, the futures price will be more affected by crude oil price fluctuations. - Based on the analysis of the oil market fundamentals, if there are no major geopolitical or macro - events, the asphalt price center may show a short - term oscillation and a medium - term slow downward trend. Notably, the downward elasticity of asphalt is weaker than that of crude oil, and the crack spread may be continuously supported in the future. - Strategy: Unilateral trading is expected to be oscillatory, with short - term support and a medium - term potential to follow the downward shift of the oil price center. There are no specific strategies for inter - delivery, inter - commodity, spot - futures, or options trading [5]. 3. Summary According to the Table of Contents 3.1 Crude Oil: Current Fundamentals are Fair but Expectations are Weak, and the Cost Center May Further Decline in the Fourth Quarter - In the first half of this year, international oil prices fluctuated repeatedly without a sustained trend, mainly due to increased geopolitical and macro - level disturbances and significantly higher market volatility. - At the beginning of the year, due to increased US sanctions on Russia, the market worried about a decline in Russian oil supply, and crude oil prices rose rapidly, with Brent once breaking through the $80/barrel mark. However, subsequent data verified that Russian exports remained resilient, and the refinery maintenance season led to a decline in raw material procurement demand, causing oil prices to gradually fall from the high point in late January. - After Trump took office as the new US president, the market started to trade the impact of his policies, including expectations of easing the Russia - Ukraine conflict, tariff increases, pushing OPEC to increase production, canceling new energy support policies, accelerating LNG project export approvals, and exerting extreme pressure on Iran. These policies had both positive and negative impacts on the oil market, but the negative effects were more prominent. - In April, Trump officially announced his reciprocal tariff policy, which exceeded market expectations in terms of scope and magnitude and led to counter - measures from trading partners, including China. If fully implemented, it would significantly impact global economic trade and oil consumption. Coupled with OPEC's decision to gradually increase production quotas, oil prices accelerated their decline, with Brent once falling below the $60/barrel mark. - Subsequently, there were signs of marginal improvement in the tariff conflict. The US postponed tariffs for most trading partners until July 9, and on May 12, China and the US reached an important consensus and issued a joint statement, reducing the tariff increase from 125% to 10% (with a 3 - month suspension for another 24%), leading to a rebound in oil prices. - In June, the crude oil market was disturbed by geopolitical conflicts, and volatility increased significantly. The Israel - Iran conflict led to concerns about oil supply disruptions, causing a sharp short - term increase in international oil prices, with Brent approaching the $80/barrel mark. After the cease - fire was announced, oil prices quickly fell back [12][13][14]. 3.2 In the First Half of 2025, the Asphalt Market Maintained a Pattern of Weak Supply and Demand, and the Crack Spread Rose Significantly - In the first half of 2025, the domestic asphalt market generally maintained a pattern of weak supply and demand with relatively few market contradictions. Low refinery operating rates and production, combined with low inventory levels, provided strong support for the spot market. However, weak terminal demand restricted the upward movement of the market. - From January to June, the main contract of BU fluctuated in the range of 3200 - 3900 yuan/ton, with a higher price center compared to last year. Geopolitical and macro - factors increased crude oil price volatility, which in turn affected asphalt futures prices. - In terms of the crack spread, asphalt was more resilient than crude oil. As the oil price center declined, the crack spread of BU to Brent rose from - 348 yuan/ton at the beginning of the year to - 4 yuan/ton at the end of June, once entering positive territory [23]. 3.3 In the Second Half of 2025, There are No Significant Variables in the Asphalt Market, and Contradictions are Relatively Minor - The terminal demand for asphalt still lacks growth drivers. In the first five months of this year, the total actual demand for domestic asphalt was 1197000 tons, a year - on - year decrease of 2.1%. Road asphalt consumption was 871000 tons, a year - on - year increase of 1.5%. Other downstream sectors had minor changes. - Looking ahead to the second half of the year, road asphalt demand still lacks clear growth expectations. The lagging impact of suspended infrastructure projects last year and the focus on "new infrastructure" in fiscal policies limit the growth space and momentum of domestic asphalt demand. However, there is seasonal improvement potential in the third quarter after the end of the rainy season in the South [27]. 3.4 The Consumption Tax Deduction Ratio of Some Local Refineries has been Increased, but the Supply Growth of Asphalt Refineries is Still Restricted - Since the beginning of this year, the theoretical production profit of asphalt refineries has been in the negative range due to weak terminal demand, tight overseas heavy crude oil supply, and increased costs of sanctioned oil. After the consumption tax deduction ratio was reduced from full to 50% - 70%, the cost of using fuel oil as a processing raw material for refineries without crude oil quotas and limited device adjustment capabilities increased significantly. - The operating rate of the asphalt industry has been suppressed at a low level. Since the beginning of this year, the domestic asphalt device operating rate has been around 30%, similar to last year's level. - In the second half of the year, there is no strong motivation for a large - scale release of asphalt refinery supply, but marginal changes are worth noting. Some refineries have increased production due to a 25% increase in the consumption tax deduction ratio, but this only applies to refineries with crude oil quotas. - In the long - term, the over - capacity of asphalt is the core factor suppressing production profits. As of now, the national asphalt production capacity is expected to reach 79.21 million tons/year, far exceeding the consumption level of over 30 million tons. The government has proposed to promote the withdrawal of backward production capacity, and the asphalt supply will continue to be restricted [40][41][43]. 3.5 The US Revoked Venezuelan Oil Licenses, and the Discount of Diluted Asphalt is Running at a High Level - Trump revoked the oil licenses of companies such as Chevron in Venezuela. If future negotiations do not progress and US policies do not change, Venezuelan oil production may decline significantly in the medium - term, but it may be diverted from the US to Asia in the short - term. - As OPEC gradually relaxes production cuts, Middle Eastern oil - producing countries may increase the supply of medium - heavy crude oil, alleviating the tight supply of overseas heavy oil to some extent. - After the expansion of the Canadian TMX pipeline last year, it can transport heavy crude oil to the west coast for export, mainly to the US West Coast, the US Gulf Coast, and the Asia - Pacific market, becoming a new source of heavy crude oil supply for China and restricting the upward space of the diluted asphalt discount [52]. 3.6 The Asphalt Market has Limited Contradictions and Support at the Lower Level - The asphalt market currently shows a pattern of weak supply and demand, with low inventory and limited supply pressure and market contradictions. Spot prices are supported but lack upward momentum. - In the second half of the year, there are no significant expected changes in supply and demand. The asphalt price center may show a short - term oscillation and a medium - term slow downward trend, and the crack spread may be continuously supported [63].

Summary of Key Points from the Conference Call Industry Overview - The discussion primarily revolves around the **U.S. economy**, focusing on inflation trends, consumer confidence, and the impact of tariffs on economic activity. Core Insights and Arguments - **Inflation Data**: In May, the Consumer Price Index (CPI) increased by 0.13% month-over-month, which was below the expected 0.2%. The core CPI rose by 0.3%, also falling short of expectations. This indicates a weak inflation environment despite some positive sentiment in soft data like consumer confidence indices [1][6][15]. - **Impact of Tariffs**: High tariffs have negatively impacted the U.S. economy, acting like a tax increase on residents. This has led to a decline in labor income and reduced transfer payments, which in turn has constrained consumer spending and increased living costs [5][9]. - **Consumer Confidence vs. Hard Data**: There is a divergence between soft data (like small business and consumer confidence indices) showing recovery and hard data (like unemployment claims and inflation metrics) indicating weakness. This discrepancy is largely attributed to the adverse effects of tariff conflicts [2][7][8]. - **Service Sector Trends**: The service sector has seen a decline in inflation, with rental prices unexpectedly dropping, reflecting a trend of consumers opting for cheaper options due to budget constraints [4][12]. - **Future CPI Predictions**: It is anticipated that the CPI will begin to rise from May onwards, potentially reaching a year-end level of around 3%. However, the month-over-month growth is expected to remain lower than market predictions [15]. Additional Important Insights - **Automobile Market Dynamics**: The U.S. automobile market is experiencing mixed signals, with new car prices negatively contributing to inflation due to weak demand and high interest rates, while parts prices have surged due to tariffs [11]. - **Import Price Changes**: Since April 2, prices of imported goods, particularly from China, have risen, with a monthly increase of 0.7%. In contrast, imports from Canada and Mexico have shown deflationary trends [10]. - **Federal Reserve Interest Rate Outlook**: Given the economic data indicating a marginal recession, there is a strong expectation for the Federal Reserve to implement two interest rate cuts in September and December [16]. - **Geopolitical Factors**: Geopolitical events are highlighted as significant sources of market uncertainty, potentially overshadowing economic data like CPI [20]. This summary encapsulates the critical points discussed in the conference call, providing insights into the current state of the U.S. economy and the factors influencing it.

首席点评:迸发前的平静
Shen Yin Wan Guo Qi Huo· 2025-06-11 02:21
Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The market is currently in a calm state before a potential upsurge, with various international and domestic news influencing different sectors [1]. - For key varieties, the report provides detailed analyses and outlooks, including precious metals, stock indices, and crude oil, with different trends and influencing factors for each [1][2]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Main News on the Day - **International News**: The US Court of Appeals ruled that Trump's tariff measures may continue to be in effect during the appeal process [4]. - **Domestic News**: The Ministry of Commerce extended the anti - dumping investigation on imported pork and pork by - products from the EU until December 16, 2025 [5]. - **Industry News**: The online auction of coking coal from Mongolia's small TT company had all lots go unsold, with a total of 486,400 tons unsold in 10 auctions since the beginning of the year [6]. 2. Daily Returns of Overseas Markets - The S&P 500 rose 0.55%, the FTSE China A50 Futures fell 0.18%, the US Dollar Index rose 0.16%, ICE Brent Crude fell 0.79%, London Gold Spot rose 0.03%, London Silver fell 0.60%, and other commodities also had corresponding price changes [7]. 3. Morning Comments on Major Varieties Financial - **Stock Indices**: US stock indices rose, while the previous trading day's domestic stock indices declined in the afternoon, with small - cap stocks leading the decline. The current valuation of major domestic indices is low, and the market is expected to consolidate in the short term, with potential for directional movement and increased volatility if new stimuli emerge [2][9][10]. - **Treasury Bonds**: Treasury bonds showed mixed performance. The central bank's net withdrawal of funds led to a relatively loose market liquidity. With the US non - farm data exceeding expectations and the Fed's reduced expectation of interest rate cuts this year, and considering domestic economic data and the property market situation, the central bank is likely to maintain a supportive monetary policy, which supports the price of Treasury bond futures [11]. Energy and Chemicals - **Crude Oil**: SC crude oil rose 0.54% at night. US commercial crude oil inventories decreased, and the US proposed temporary measures in the Iran - US nuclear negotiations. In the short term, crude oil prices are resistant to decline, but in the long term, a 1.2 million - barrel - per - day increase in production is a major negative factor [12]. - **Methanol**: Methanol rose 0.13% at night. The operating rate of coal - to - olefin plants increased, while the overall methanol plant operating rate decreased slightly. Coastal methanol inventories increased, and it is expected to be bullish in the short term [13]. - **Rubber**: Rubber rebounded slightly. With good weather in domestic production areas and smooth new rubber supply in Thailand, supply pressure is emerging, and the short - term trend is expected to be volatile [14]. - **Polyolefins**: Polyolefins rebounded slightly. The consumption of polyolefins has entered a off - season, and the spot price is average. The rebound of international oil prices helps stabilize polyolefins, and they may gradually stop falling and attempt to rebound [15][16]. - **Glass/Soda Ash**: Glass futures declined and consolidated. Glass production enterprise inventories increased, and soda ash futures were also in a low - level consolidation. Both are in a cycle of inventory digestion, and attention should be paid to the supply - demand balance process [17]. Metals - **Precious Metals**: Gold and silver showed divergent trends, with gold oscillating and silver strengthening. US economic data affected short - term interest rate cut expectations, and the gold - silver ratio is being repaired. Gold is expected to be oscillating and slightly bullish in the short term [18]. - **Copper**: Copper prices may fluctuate within a range due to the intersection of multiple factors such as low concentrate processing fees, stable domestic downstream demand, and concerns about US tariffs [19]. - **Zinc**: Zinc prices may have a wide - range fluctuation. With the improvement of concentrate supply and the recovery of smelting supply expected, attention should be paid to factors such as US tariffs and downstream production [20]. - **Aluminum**: The main contract of Shanghai aluminum rose 0.25% at night. With Trump's wavering tariff attitude and potential improvements in the ore end, the demand for electrolytic aluminum is expected to weaken in the short term, and it may oscillate [21]. - **Nickel**: The main contract of Shanghai nickel fell 0.25% at night. With tight nickel ore supply in Indonesia and other factors, the nickel market has both positive and negative factors, and the price may be slightly bullish and oscillating in the short term [22]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: The weekly production of lithium carbonate increased. Although the cathode production data is average, the cathode inventory is being digested. The overall fundamentals have not improved substantially, and attention should be paid to low - level capital games [23]. Black Metals - **Iron Ore**: Iron ore demand is supported by strong production motivation of steel mills, but the global iron ore shipment has decreased recently. The medium - term supply - demand imbalance pressure is large, and it is expected to be supported in the short term and weaken in the long term [24]. - **Steel**: The supply pressure of steel is emerging, but the supply - demand contradiction is not significant for now. With the arrival of the rainy season and overseas tariff policies, the demand for steel is expected to weaken, and rebar may be weaker than hot - rolled coils in the short term [25]. - **Coking Coal/Coke**: The futures prices of coking coal and coke rebounded strongly, but the spot market responded slowly. With the implementation of the new Mineral Resources Law and the approaching of the rainy season, attention should be paid to the negative feedback [26]. Agricultural Products - **Oils and Fats**: Oils and fats are expected to maintain an oscillating trend. The US - China relationship improvement affects soybean oil, and the Malaysian palm oil data has a neutral impact on the market [27]. - **Protein Meals**: Protein meals are expected to be strongly oscillating. The improvement of US - China relations supports US soybean prices, while domestic oil mills' high - volume operations may accelerate the accumulation of soybean meal inventory [28]. - **Corn/Corn Starch**: Corn prices are expected to break through the high level. The feed demand is weak, but the supply is tight in the spot market, and the main contract can be considered bullish at a low level in the medium - long term [29]. - **Cotton**: Cotton prices are under pressure at a high level. With the expected increase in new cotton supply in Xinjiang and weak downstream demand, it is recommended to build long positions at a low level and expect demand recovery in the medium - long term [30]. Shipping Index - **Container Shipping to Europe**: The EC index is oscillating. The 08 contract is basically following the spot freight rate, and its ability to break through the previous high depends on the price increase in July and August. With the increase in shipping capacity, the market is expected to continue to oscillate, and short - selling opportunities can be considered [31][32].
