Group 1 - Moody's has downgraded the U.S. sovereign credit rating from Aaa to Aa1, marking the first time the U.S. has lost its AAA rating from all three major rating agencies [1][2] - The downgrade is attributed to the surging debt burden and unsustainable fiscal deficit, with predictions that the U.S. fiscal deficit could reach 9% of GDP by 2035 [1][2] - The timing of Moody's downgrade coincides with ongoing political challenges in the U.S., particularly regarding tax reform efforts that have stalled due to internal disagreements within the Republican Party [2] Group 2 - The Federal Reserve is modifying its monetary policy framework, shifting focus from an average inflation target to a current inflation target, indicating a potential for more flexible monetary policy in the future [3][4] - Consumer confidence in the U.S. has declined, with the University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index dropping to 50.8, reflecting concerns over inflation and economic outlook [3][4] - The market's response to the downgrade and economic indicators suggests limited short-term impact, but long-term implications could be detrimental if fiscal deficits remain unaddressed [2][4] Group 3 - Trump's trade policies, particularly the tariff strategy, have been characterized as chaotic and lacking a coherent strategy, leading to market volatility and uncertainty [5][6] - The approach taken by Trump is described as "transactional," prioritizing outcomes over processes, which could undermine the U.S.'s long-term credibility and global trade order [6][7] - The upcoming economic data releases, including the European Central Bank's meeting minutes and China's retail figures, are anticipated to provide further insights into global economic conditions [7]

The tax - cut bill will reduce taxes by 4 trillion US dollars in the next ten years, cut 1.5 trillion US dollars in spending, and raise the debt ceiling by 4 trillion US dollars. The reduction in medical insurance subsidies will have a negative impact on consumer spending and overall economic growth [1] - Powell indicated that the Fed's monetary policy framework will change, but the current monetary policy expectations are still very hawkish. After Powell's speech, precious metal prices rose briefly, but the market's expectation of Fed rate cuts this year has decreased, which is a negative factor for gold and silver prices [2] Group 3: Strategy Summary - The US economy faces potential recession risks, and the Fed's monetary policy stance is still hawkish. Precious metals are suppressed in the short - term by the reduced expectation of Fed rate cuts [3] - Gold prices are expected to remain weak.

Group 1: Investment Ratings - There is no information about the industry investment rating in the report. Group 2: Core Views - **Copper**: Overnight LME copper first declined and then rose, remaining roughly flat at $9,600/ton; SHFE copper futures gained 0.13% to CNY 78,490/ton. US inflation data was lower than expected, and the Fed's flexible attitude towards inflation was seen as a signal for interest rate cuts. Domestically, attention should be paid to the performance of the financial market. LME copper inventories decreased by 925 tons, while COMEX inventories increased by 1,381 tons. SMM's Thursday statistics showed that the national mainstream copper inventories increased by 0.89 million tons to 13.20 million tons, ending the continuous destocking trend. With copper prices rising and the expectation of the peak season turning to the off - season, downstream procurement was cautious, and terminal demand orders might gradually slow down. Although the macro - expectation continued to improve, the domestic copper downstream demand showed some weakness. The upward movement of copper prices might be hindered. However, the better - than - expected progress in Sino - US trade negotiations was expected to continue to boost risk appetite, and copper prices were expected to be briefly boosted, with the upward range still seen at CNY 78,000 - 80,000/ton. When copper prices approached the upper limit of the range, it might bring selling hedging opportunities for the mid - and upstream [1]. - **Aluminum**: Alumina trended strongly with oscillations. Overnight, AO2509 closed at CNY 2,985/ton, up 0.17%, and the open interest increased by 13,002 lots to 338,000 lots. Shanghai aluminum trended weakly with oscillations. Overnight, AL2506 closed at CNY 20,220/ton, down 0.07%, and the open interest increased by 1,633 lots to 203,000 lots. The SMM alumina price rebounded slightly to CNY 2,936/ton. The spot premium of aluminum ingots widened to CNY 60/ton. There were new maintenance activities in Shanxi and Guangxi's alumina. The main contract shifted to the 09 contract, and the market was trading the expectation of ore production restrictions during the rainy season in Guinea. Aluminum ingot arrivals were low, and downstream restocking occurred after price cuts, so aluminum ingots continued to be destocked slightly. The alleviation of the Sino - US tariff situation improved the macro - sentiment. However, the decline in photovoltaic subsidies and the weakening of new export orders, along with the pressure of cost reduction, meant that the short - term strong and long - term weak pattern of aluminum prices continued. Attention should be paid to the inventory - consumption situation and subsequent tariff negotiation dynamics [2]. - **Nickel**: Overnight, LME nickel rose 0.03% to $15,805/ton, and Shanghai nickel rose 0.16% to CNY 125,230/ton. LME nickel inventories increased by 714 tons, while domestic SHFE nickel warrants decreased by 205 tons. The LME 0 - 3 month spread remained negative, and the import nickel premium decreased by CNY 50/ton. Nickel ore prices were still strong, with premiums rising in both the Philippines and Indonesia. In the stainless - steel sector, there was a slight reduction in the supply of the 300 - series, and the weekly inventory decreased slightly. In the new - energy sector, the supply of raw materials recovered, the MHP price declined, and the spot profit of nickel sulfate slightly improved, but the demand for ternary precursors in May decreased slightly month - on - month. Domestically, primary nickel inventories decreased slightly on a weekly basis, and overseas destocking was obvious. The production in May was expected to decrease slightly. In the short term, the macro - sentiment improved, and the Philippine nickel - ore event attracted market attention again, so nickel ore was relatively strong, and it was not advisable to be overly bearish. However, the nickel - iron transaction price continued to decline, and if domestic primary nickel inventories continued to accumulate, the pressure on nickel prices would gradually become prominent, and the overall trend was still oscillatory [3]. Group 3: Summary by Directory 1. Research Views - **Copper**: The macro - situation in the US showed lower - than - expected inflation data, which was regarded as a signal for interest rate cuts. Domestically, the financial market performance was a focus. Inventory changes were mixed, and downstream demand was cautious. The upward movement of copper prices might face resistance, but short - term boosts were possible due to trade negotiation progress [1]. - **Aluminum**: Alumina prices were strong, while Shanghai aluminum was weak. There were new maintenance activities, and the market was trading the Guinea ore - restriction expectation. Aluminum ingots were destocked slightly. The short - term strong and long - term weak pattern continued due to various factors [2]. - **Nickel**: Nickel prices rose slightly overnight. Inventory changes were different in different regions. Nickel ore was strong, but nickel - iron prices declined. The new - energy sector had mixed signals. The overall trend was oscillatory in the short term [3]. 2. Daily Data Monitoring - **Copper**: On May 15, 2025, compared with May 14, 2025, the price of flat - copper decreased by CNY 180/ton, and the premium increased by CNY 40/ton.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - The report recommends short - term trading based on events (such as the U.S.-Iran nuclear talks and the Russia - Ukraine peace talks) with an overall volatile trend for oil prices, and a medium - term short position for oil [3] Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - International oil prices dropped significantly yesterday, with WTI and Brent falling over 2%, and SC nearly 5%. This was mainly due to Trump's remarks about the approaching Iran nuclear deal. The market fears that if U.S. sanctions on Iran are lifted, it could lead to an increase in Iranian oil supply and exacerbate the oil market surplus. However, whether the U.S.-Iran nuclear talks will succeed remains uncertain, and the outcome of this event will have opposite impacts on oil prices [2] Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Market News and Important Data - The price of light crude oil futures for June delivery on the New York Mercantile Exchange fell $1.53 to $61.62 per barrel, a decrease of 2.42%. The price of Brent crude oil futures for July delivery fell $1.56 to $64.53 per barrel, a decrease of 2.36%. The SC crude oil main contract dropped 3.53% to 462 yuan per barrel [1] - Powell will re - evaluate the "key parts" of the 2020 monetary policy framework, including the handling of inflation targets and employment "gaps". Higher real interest rates may reflect more volatile future inflation, and "supply shocks" may become the new normal [1] - The U.S. April PPI increased 2.4% year - on - year, lower than expected, and decreased 0.5% month - on - month, the largest decline in five years, mainly due to the decline in corporate profit margins. U.S. April retail sales increased 0.1% month - on - month, slightly exceeding expectations, but sales of 7 out of 13 commodity categories decreased [1] - The IEA raised its average oil demand growth forecast for 2025 by 20,000 barrels per day to 740,000 barrels per day, and the global supply growth forecast to 1.6 million barrels per day, an increase of 380,000 barrels per day compared to last month's report. In 2025, global supply is expected to far exceed demand growth, and inventories will increase by about 720,000 barrels per day [1] - Hamas is in direct talks with the U.S. to reach an agreement to end the Gaza conflict. Hamas called for the exchange of detainees, Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip, allowing aid supplies to enter Gaza, and rebuilding Gaza without forced migration. If a permanent cease - fire is achieved, Hamas can hand over control of the Gaza Strip [1] - Indonesia's recent increase in the export tax on crude palm oil (CPO) may support global CPO prices and strengthen its biodiesel policy. If oil prices remain above $49 per barrel, it may improve the financial stability of Indonesia's B40 biodiesel program and may lead to the introduction of a B50 biodiesel policy [1] - Iranian Foreign Minister Araqchi said that the U.S. has put forward many contradictory positions in the Iran nuclear talks, which may be due to the lack of centralization in the U.S. decision - making structure or its negotiation style. Iran's negotiation style is based on adhering to basic principles, and Iran's uranium enrichment facilities will continue to exist [1] Investment Logic - The current Iranian crude oil production is around 3.2 million barrels per day, with exports of 1.5 - 2 million barrels per day. If sanctions are lifted, Iranian oil will re - enter the global market, and its 30 million barrels of floating storage will flow into the market in the short term. Iran can increase exports by about 500,000 barrels per day within 3 months, which will exacerbate the oil market surplus in the second half of the year [2] Strategy - Oil prices are expected to be volatile in the short term due to events and suitable for short - position allocation in the medium term [3] Risk - Downside risks include significant production increases by OPEC and macro black - swan events; upside risks include supply tightening of sanctioned oil (from Russia, Iran, and Venezuela) and large - scale supply disruptions due to Middle East conflicts [3]

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - Overall, various sectors in the market are influenced by multiple factors including economic policies, international trade negotiations, and supply - demand dynamics. Different sectors show different trends and risks. For example, in the financial market, the Fed's potential policy framework changes affect the performance of the US dollar index and US stock index futures; in the commodity market, supply - demand relationships in industries such as steel, copper, and agricultural products determine price trends [14][22][31]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Financial News and Comments 3.1.1 Macro Strategy (Stock Index Futures) - The release of the urban renewal action plan clarifies the path for domestic economic support, and fixed - asset investment will maintain a high proportion in the economy.

It is recommended to allocate large, medium, and small - cap stock indices evenly [14][15]. 3.1.2 Macro Strategy (Gold) - Gold prices fluctuated sharply, first falling then rising and finally closing higher. With the easing of tariffs and geopolitical military conflicts, funds are flowing out of gold.

It is recommended to expect the US dollar index to oscillate [22][23]. 3.1.4 Macro Strategy (US Stock Index Futures) - The Fed's change in the monetary framework may increase its tolerance for inflation, and high inflation and high interest rates may exist for a longer period. Economic data shows that inflation and consumption data continue to weaken, and market expectations for interest rate cuts have increased. The short - term market sentiment is optimistic, and the stock index fluctuates strongly, but it is recommended to treat it as range - bound due to potential negotiation uncertainties [26]. 3.2 Commodity News and Comments 3.2.1 Agricultural Products (Soybean Meal) - Market concerns about the US biodiesel policy have led to a significant decline in the prices of US soybean oil and US soybean futures. Brazilian soybean production and export forecasts have been raised. The price of soybean meal futures is expected to fluctuate, and attention should be paid to Sino - US relations, US biodiesel policy, and weather conditions in US soybean - producing areas [28]. 3.2.2 Black Metals (Rebar/Hot - Rolled Coil) - The inventory of five major steel products decreased this week, but the marginal weakness in the manufacturing terminal has not been completely reversed. Steel prices are in a stage of rebound, but lack the momentum for a sharp rise. It is recommended to hold a light position in the short term, wait for the market to rebound, and pay attention to changes in the export end [31][32]. 3.2.3 Agricultural Products (Corn Starch) - The operating rate of the corn starch industry has declined, and inventory has decreased slightly. The factors affecting the CS - C futures spread are complex, and it is recommended to wait and see [33]. 3.2.4 Black Metals (Coking Coal/Coke) - The coking coal market in Lvliang is oscillating weakly. With the improvement of the macro - environment, coking coal may stabilize with the overall black metal sector in the short term, but the medium - to - long - term fundamentals have not changed, and attention should be paid to demand changes [34][35]. 3.2.5 Agricultural Products (Corn) - The inventory days of feed enterprises have slightly increased, while the raw material inventory of deep - processing enterprises has declined. It is recommended to hold the previously entered 07 long positions, 7 - 9 positive spreads, and 7 - 11 positive spreads, and pay attention to the results of import auctions [36][37]. 3.2.6 Non - Ferrous Metals (Copper) - Foran Mining is promoting the McIlvenna Bay copper - zinc project. US economic data is weakening marginally, and the expectation of Fed interest rate cuts is rising. Domestic short - term inventory is still being depleted. Copper prices are likely to continue to oscillate at a high level. It is recommended to conduct short - term band operations and wait and see for arbitrage [42]. 3.2.7 Non - Ferrous Metals (Polysilicon) - Considering the delayed resumption of production at the southwest base of leading enterprises and the planned production cuts and overhauls of some enterprises, the polysilicon production plan for May has been revised down. It is recommended to take profit on previous long positions and focus on arbitrage strategies [44]. 3.2.8 Non - Ferrous Metals (Industrial Silicon) - There are rumors that northern large - scale factories plan to resume production, and some silicon factories in Sichuan are gradually resuming production. Demand is still weak. It is not recommended to go long on the left side, and consider short - selling opportunities during rebounds [45][46]. 3.2.9 Non - Ferrous Metals (Lithium Carbonate) - The market risk appetite has been repaired, but the mine price has not stabilized, and the fundamentals are difficult to support continuous price rebounds. It is recommended to pay attention to short - selling opportunities on price rebounds [49]. 3.2.10 Non - Ferrous Metals (Lead) - The social inventory of lead ingots has increased significantly. Under the intertwined situation of multiple factors, there is no clear unilateral logic for lead prices. It is recommended to wait and see in the short term and pay attention to high - level internal - external positive spread opportunities [52]. 3.2.11 Non - Ferrous Metals (Zinc) - The domestic social inventory of zinc has increased. The short - term spot market is under pressure. It is recommended to wait and see for previous short positions, and consider short - selling opportunities on price rebounds for those not yet entered [56]. 3.2.12 Non - Ferrous Metals (Nickel) - The price of nickel is expected to oscillate in the range of 122,000 - 128,000 yuan/ton. It is recommended to pay attention to band operations within the range [59]. 3.2.13 Energy and Chemicals (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) - The domestic LPG commodity volume has increased, and both refinery and port inventories are accumulating.
