Core Points - The recent US-China trade negotiations in Kuala Lumpur ended without a formal agreement, but the US decided to temporarily suspend the planned 100% tariff on Chinese goods, indicating a complex power struggle [1][3][5] - The US Treasury Secretary, Becerra, emphasized avoiding the tariff as a significant achievement, while the Chinese delegation maintained a firm stance without showing any signs of compromise [4][12] - The negotiations highlighted the structural issues within the US economy, including rising debt and inflation, which pressured the US to reconsider its aggressive trade tactics [10][11][15] Summary by Sections Negotiation Dynamics - The atmosphere during the negotiations was tense, with no significant breakthroughs or agreements reached, reflecting a stalemate in US-China relations [1][3] - Becerra's comments suggested a tactical retreat rather than a strategic victory, as the US faced internal disagreements on how to approach the negotiations [11][14] Economic Context - The US's total debt has surpassed $38 trillion, with interest payments at a historical high, making further tariffs potentially damaging to the economy [10][11] - The imposition of additional tariffs could exacerbate inflation and harm consumer confidence, leading to a reconsideration of aggressive trade measures [10][12] Strategic Implications - The negotiations revealed China's strategic patience and ability to maintain its position without yielding to US pressure, indicating a shift in the balance of power [12][15] - The US's initial strategy of using trade leverage to force concessions from China has proven ineffective, as the global supply chain has diversified, reducing the impact of US threats [15][16]

Core Viewpoint - The article argues that the country possesses several powerful leverage points against the United States, including U.S. Treasury bonds, raw materials, and industrial manufacturing capabilities, beyond just rare earths and soybeans. The country has been cautious in utilizing these leverage points to avoid mutual destruction while still inflicting pain on the U.S. economy [1][2][8]. Group 1: Economic Leverage Points - The country holds approximately $730.7 billion in U.S. Treasury bonds, making it the third-largest holder globally, and has reduced its holdings from a peak of about $1.3 trillion [1][2]. - The country is responsible for about 60% of the 88% of raw materials that the U.S. imports for pharmaceuticals, with critical drugs like ibuprofen and acetaminophen heavily reliant on imports from this country [4][5]. - The country is the world's second-largest economy and the largest manufacturer, capable of producing a wide range of products, from basic goods to high-end equipment, which could significantly impact global supply chains if leveraged [5][7]. Group 2: Strategic Considerations - The country has refrained from aggressively selling U.S. Treasury bonds to avoid triggering panic selling from other nations, which could lead to a collapse in bond prices and significant financial losses [2][8]. - The country prioritizes a peaceful approach and respects life, which influences its decision not to use raw materials as a retaliatory measure against the U.S. [4][8]. - The potential move to reject the dollar in international trade could destabilize the global economy and harm the country's own industries and employment, indicating a need for a cautious and gradual approach to countering U.S. dominance [7][8].

Core Viewpoint - The U.S.-China trade dynamics are shifting, with the U.S. Treasury Secretary indicating that the previously planned 100% tariffs have become a negotiation tool rather than a threat, and China is set to resume purchasing U.S. soybeans, raising questions about the timing of this decision [1][3]. Group 1: Political and Economic Context - The U.S. Treasury Secretary downplayed the 100% tariff threat as a "negotiation strategy," reflecting a change in the U.S. stance amid political pressures from agricultural states [3]. - The urgency in addressing agricultural issues is evident, as the Secretary's comments suggest a need to support U.S. soybean farmers, who are facing significant financial losses due to reduced Chinese purchases [3][5]. - The political implications are significant, as agricultural states are crucial to the Republican voter base, and any continued trade stagnation could undermine political support for the current administration [5][7]. Group 2: Agricultural Market Dynamics - U.S. soybean farmers are experiencing financial distress, with potential losses of $100 to $150 per acre if they cannot find buyers, as China plans to reduce soybean imports from the U.S. starting October 2024 [5]. - China's shift towards South American suppliers is driven by market logic, as Brazilian and Argentine soybeans are more competitively priced, with Argentina even eliminating export tariffs to attract Chinese buyers [5]. Group 3: Negotiation Strategies and Outcomes - China's agreement to resume U.S. soybean purchases is part of a broader negotiation strategy, where multiple key issues are being discussed beyond agricultural products, including maritime logistics and technology exports [7][8]. - The negotiation team composition indicates a serious commitment to achieving a strategic and executable outcome, with high-level representatives from both sides involved [8]. - The recent negotiations have shown that unilateral pressure tactics are ineffective, and a balanced approach is necessary for a sustainable trade relationship [10][6]. Group 4: Global Market Reactions - Following the Secretary's remarks, U.S. soybean futures prices increased, indicating positive market sentiment regarding the potential stabilization of U.S.-China trade relations [10]. - The overall global economic outlook benefits from a stable trade relationship between the two largest economies, as it helps avoid escalation into a trade war [10][11].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - Overseas, China - US trade negotiations from the 24th - 27th progressed well, boosting market optimism. US September CPI and core CPI were lower than expected, leading to a weakening of the US dollar index and Treasury yields, and an increase in global risk appetite. Domestically, economic growth accelerated, and the good progress of China - US trade negotiations boosted domestic market expectations. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee emphasized supply security, manufacturing, and technological self - reliance, which helped boost domestic risk preference. The short - term macro upward drive has strengthened, and attention should be paid to the progress of China - US trade negotiations and the implementation of domestic incremental policies [3]. - Different asset classes have different trends: the stock index is expected to be volatile in the short term, with a cautious long - position recommendation; government bonds are expected to be volatile, with a cautious wait - and - see attitude; the black, non - ferrous, and energy - chemical sectors are expected to have short - term volatile rebounds, with cautious long - positions recommended; precious metals are expected to have a short - term high - level correction, with a cautious wait - and - see attitude [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Macro Finance - **Macro**: Overseas, the good progress of China - US trade negotiations and lower - than - expected US inflation data increased global risk appetite. Domestically, economic growth accelerated, and policy orientation boosted domestic risk preference. The short - term macro upward drive strengthened, and attention should be paid to trade negotiation progress and domestic policy implementation. For assets, the stock index and government bonds are expected to be volatile, while the black, non - ferrous, and energy - chemical sectors may have short - term rebounds, and precious metals may correct [3]. Stock Index - Driven by sectors such as semiconductor chips, artificial intelligence, and military industry, the domestic stock market rose significantly. Fundamentally, domestic economic growth accelerated, and China - US trade negotiations progressed well. Policy orientation boosted domestic risk preference. The short - term macro upward drive strengthened, and short - term cautious long - positions are recommended [4]. Precious Metals - The precious metals market declined on Friday night. Although US inflation data increased the expectation of Fed rate cuts, the good progress of China - US trade negotiations reduced the demand for hedging. Precious metals are expected to have a short - term correction, but the medium - to - long - term upward trend remains unchanged. Short - term long - position holders are advised to reduce positions and wait, while medium - to - long - term investors can buy on dips [4]. Black Metals - **Steel**: The domestic steel spot market declined slightly on Friday, while the futures price rebounded slightly. With the release of the communique of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee and positive news from China - US trade negotiations, the macro expectation remained strong. The apparent consumption of steel increased, and speculative demand also expanded. The supply of five major steel products increased, but considering the compressed profit of steel mills, future supply is expected to decline. The steel market has no trend - based market, and is expected to be volatile and slightly stronger in the short term [5][6]. - **Iron Ore**: The spot price of iron ore declined slightly on Friday, and the futures price was weakly volatile. Due to the compressed profit of steel mills, iron - water production has been declining for three consecutive weeks and may continue to decline. Steel mills mainly replenish stocks on a just - in - time basis. The global iron ore shipment increased, while the arrival volume decreased. The price of iron ore is expected to fluctuate within a range [6]. - **Silicon Manganese/Silicon Iron**: The spot price of silicon iron and silicon manganese remained flat on Friday, while the futures price declined slightly. The demand for ferroalloys is acceptable in the short term. The supply of silicon manganese increased slightly. The price of silicon iron and silicon manganese futures is expected to continue to fluctuate within a range [7]. Chemicals - **Soda Ash**: The futures price of soda ash fluctuated within a range last week. The supply increased in the short term, and there are plans for capacity expansion in the fourth quarter. The demand increased slightly. The supply pressure remains, and a bearish view is recommended in the medium - to - long - term [8]. - **Glass**: The futures price of glass fluctuated within a range last week. The supply remained stable, while the demand in the peak season was weaker than expected. The inventory of float glass is relatively high. With policy support, the glass market is expected to be traded within a range in the short term, and attention should be paid to the demand during the year - end peak construction season [8]. Non - Ferrous Metals and New Energy - **Copper**: The short - term macro environment is positive, but the high US copper inventory restricts import demand. The shutdown of an Indonesian copper mine supports the futures price, while the possibility of the restart of a Panamanian copper mine needs to be monitored. The domestic refined copper de - stocking is less than expected. The copper price is expected to remain volatile at a high level [9][10]. - **Aluminum**: The price of Shanghai aluminum rose slightly on Friday. Although the impact of an overseas aluminum smelter's suspension of production is small, the overall market sentiment is positive, and the lack of downward momentum is due to market expectations. The decline in London aluminum inventory supports the price [10]. - **Tin**: After the end of the maintenance of a large - scale smelter in Yunnan, the smelting start - up rate increased significantly. However, the supply of tin ore remains tight. The high price suppresses consumption, but the low inventory in the early stage leads to some rigid - demand restocking. The tin price is expected to remain volatile at a high level [10]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: As of October 23, the weekly production of lithium carbonate increased, and the import volume also increased year - on - year. The social inventory decreased slightly. The supply and demand both increased, and the price is expected to be volatile and slightly stronger in the short term, but attention should be paid to the hedging pressure [11]. - **Industrial Silicon**: As of October 24, the weekly production increased, and the social inventory decreased slightly. Although there is a slight shutdown in the southwest region, the high start - up rate in Xinjiang brings supply pressure. The demand is relatively stable, and the market is expected to continue to fluctuate [12]. - **Polysilicon**: The downstream prices are stable, but the terminal demand is weak. The inventory remains high, and the policy expectation supports the price. The polysilicon price is expected to fluctuate at a high level, waiting for changes in supply - demand or policy [12]. Energy - Chemicals - **Crude Oil**: After the sanctions on Russia, the Russian oil supply channel may be restricted, but the actual market participants are still waiting. The ongoing China - US talks may support the oil price, but the short - term short - selling trend remains unchanged until the return of Asian buyers [13][14]. - **Asphalt**: The rebound of the oil price drove up the asphalt futures price, but the basis remains low, and the actual shipment volume is low. The inventory pressure of asphalt plants continues, and the supply pressure increases. Considering the possible decline of crude oil prices in the future, the asphalt market may lack a strong upward drive [14]. - **PX**: The rise in crude oil prices drove up the polyester sector. The high start - up rate of PTA provides some demand support for PX. The PX price is expected to fluctuate with crude oil, but there is still a relatively large bearish risk [14]. - **PTA**: The downstream start - up rate decreased, but some winter - clothing orders increased, and the inventory decreased slightly. The cost is the main driving factor, and a short - selling strategy is recommended in the short term [15]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: The port inventory increased, but the uncertainty of domestic ethylene production and the increase in downstream restocking may support the price. The price is expected to remain volatile in the short term [15]. - **Short - Fiber**: The short - fiber price rebounded slightly with the polyester sector and oil price, but it is expected to remain weak and volatile. The terminal orders increased seasonally, but the increase was limited, and the inventory increased slightly. The upward space is limited, and a short - selling strategy can be considered in the medium - term [15]. - **Methanol**: The current device maintenance reduced the production capacity utilization rate, but the supply pressure is expected to increase next week. The demand is weak, and the inventory is high. The methanol price is expected to remain volatile in the short term [16]. - **PP**: Although there is some device maintenance, the supply is still sufficient. The demand improved significantly due to "Double 11" stocking, and the inventory decreased slightly. The PP price may have a short - term repair [16]. - **LLDPE**: The expected supply of polyethylene increases, and the industrial inventory decreases. The downstream start - up rate may increase slightly. The price is expected to have a short - term repair, but the supply surplus situation remains, and attention should be paid to device maintenance [16]. - **Urea**: The supply of urea is becoming more abundant. The agricultural and industrial demand is stable, and some reserve demand may be released. The inventory at the enterprise level increases slightly, and the port inventory decreases significantly. The cost support is strong, and the price is expected to remain low and volatile [17]. Agricultural Products - **US Soybeans**: The export shipment of US soybeans decreased significantly this crop year, and the sales to China are still zero. The market is waiting for the result of China - US soybean trade negotiations. The soybean price rebounded recently, while the oil and meal prices were weak, leading to a decline in domestic soybean crushing profit [18]. - **Soybean and Rapeseed Meal**: Domestic soybean oil mills have a large supply of soybeans and high inventory, and maintain a high - level operation. The soybean meal supply is sufficient, but the new trading volume is small. The future of China - US soybean trade will determine the supply gap risk in the first quarter of next year. The increase in soybean prices and the loss of oil mills may limit future soybean procurement. The soybean meal futures may have short - covering, but attention should be paid to trade negotiation dynamics [18]. - **Oils**: The unexpected increase in palm oil production in October caused short - term adjustment pressure, but the rise in international oilseeds and crude oil prices provided some support. Palm oil has entered the production - reduction cycle, and the seasonal de - stocking trend remains. The consumption of soybean and rapeseed oil is in the peak season, and the price difference between soybean and palm oil is expected to be repaired. The vegetable oil inventory is decreasing, and the market has no clear direction for now [19]. - **Corn**: The corn price in the Northeast region is stable. The China - US trade negotiations have an impact on the market, and traders' intention to build inventory is general. The current price is close to the planting cost, and farmers may be more reluctant to sell as the temperature drops [19]. - **Hogs**: At the current low price level, the price difference between fat and lean pigs is widening, and the second - fattening demand is increasing. The pig price may stabilize and rebound in the short term, and attention should be paid to pork purchase and storage actions [19].

Oil Market - International oil prices declined, with Brent crude falling by 0.65%. Since September, global oil inventory accumulation has accelerated, reaching a 1.5% increase in the fourth quarter. The mid-term outlook for the oil market remains under pressure due to ongoing US-China trade tensions, despite upward revisions in earnings forecasts by three major institutions for the next two years [2] - Geopolitical risks have eased following a ceasefire agreement in Gaza, leading to a reduction in oil market risk premiums. However, with oil prices nearing the lows seen during the trade war in April, the short-term downward momentum is weakening, suggesting a potential shift to a weak consolidation phase [2] Precious Metals - Precious metals rebounded, with market sentiment influenced by ongoing negotiations regarding US-China trade, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and the US government shutdown. The long-term upward trend for gold and silver remains intact, but short-term volatility risks have increased, suggesting a cautious approach to positions [3] Base Metals - Copper prices experienced fluctuations, supported by easing tariffs under Trump's policies and the potential end of the US government shutdown. However, domestic supply and demand conditions are mixed, with copper inventories rising.

Group 1: Energy and Metals Crude Oil - The international oil price declined overnight, with the Brent December contract down 0.65%. Since September, the global oil inventory accumulation speed has accelerated, with a 1.5% increase since the fourth quarter. The medium - term trend of the crude oil market remains under pressure, but the short - term downward momentum is weakening, and the market may turn to a weak oscillation [2]. Precious Metals - Precious metals rebounded overnight. With multiple issues in negotiation, the medium - long - term upward logic of gold and silver is solid, but short - term two - way fluctuation risks have increased. It is recommended to reduce positions and wait and see [3]. Copper - Copper prices oscillated higher overnight. Although the enthusiasm for allocating to the copper market is high, the domestic copper market shows "weak supply and demand" at high prices, and the social inventory continues to rise. Copper prices are expected to oscillate at high levels [4]. Aluminum - Shanghai aluminum continued to oscillate overnight. Since August, the apparent consumption of the aluminum market has been basically flat year - on - year. The inventory performance since the National Day is neutral, and the short - term Shanghai aluminum will continue to oscillate and test the previous high resistance [5]. Casting Aluminum Alloy - The spot price of Baotai ADC12 remains at 20,600 yuan. With tight scrap aluminum supply and increased enterprise costs, but high industry inventory, it continues to follow the aluminum price [6].

Alumina is mainly in a weak operation [7]. Zinc - The SMM zinc social inventory rose to 165,300 tons on Monday. The Shanghai zinc is under pressure and fell with heavy volume, but it has strong support at around 21,500 yuan/ton. The LME zinc is under obvious pressure at the 3,000 - dollar integer mark. The domestic and foreign price difference may converge periodically, and the zinc ingot export is the general direction [8]. Lead - Shanghai lead is in a stalemate between long and short positions. The inventory is low, and the overall inventory accumulation is less than expected. The supply of lead concentrate is tight, but the inflow of overseas low - price crude lead is expected to strengthen. It is expected to oscillate within the range of 16,500 - 17,300 yuan/ton [9]. Nickel and Stainless Steel - Shanghai nickel fluctuates narrowly. The downstream demand recovery in the peak consumption season is limited, and the social inventory has stopped falling and started to rise. The support from the rebound of upstream prices is weakening. Technically, Shanghai nickel is weak, and a short - selling strategy is recommended [10]. Tin - Tin prices oscillated higher overnight, mainly following the trading rhythm of the copper market. The supply of the global tin market is gradually stabilizing, and the trading center is expected to oscillate downward. The previous short - selling strategy is continued [11]. Lithium Carbonate - Lithium carbonate prices opened high and then oscillated, and the market trading warmed up. The total market inventory decreased by 2,200 tons to 132,700 tons. Technically, the futures price of lithium carbonate oscillates and waits for a clear direction [12]. Polysilicon - The polysilicon futures fell back with a significant reduction in positions, mainly due to the significant cooling of policy expectations. The spot price is stable, and the inventory accumulation risk continues under high inventory. The market maintains an oscillating trend [13]. Industrial Silicon - The Xinjiang operating rate of industrial silicon has reached the highest point of the year, and the downstream demand is basically stable. The weekly social inventory has increased marginally, and the spot price is slightly under pressure. After the electricity price rises in November, the production reduction in the southwest is highly certain [14]. Steel (Ribbed Bars and Hot - Rolled Coils) - Steel prices oscillated at night. The apparent demand for ribbed bars rebounded significantly month - on - month but remained weak year - on - year. The iron and steel industry's negative feedback expectation still ferments repeatedly. The steel price is expected to be volatile in the short term [15]. Iron Ore - The iron ore futures oscillated weakly overnight, and the basis has strengthened recently. The supply has increased, and the demand is expected to decline. The market is expected to oscillate at high levels [15]. Coke - Coke prices oscillated strongly during the day. The second round of price increase for coking has started.

The 12 and 02 contracts are expected to run bullishly, but the upside space is limited [20]. Fuel Oil and Low - Sulfur Fuel Oil - The absolute price of fuel oil follows the cost side in a weak oscillating trend. The high - sulfur fuel oil has some support in the near - term, but the supply pressure is expected to increase in the medium - term. The low - sulfur fuel oil is weak in the short - term, and the demand may improve marginally in the medium - term [21]. Asphalt - The weekly asphalt operating rate declined month - on - month. The demand in October is expected to be weaker than expected. The asphalt market remains in a tight - balance pattern in the short - term, and the price has support at the bottom [22]. Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) - The LPG main contract continued to oscillate narrowly, and the far - month contracts are relatively under pressure. The supply increased slightly this week, and the inventory at refineries and ports decreased [23]. Urea - The urea main contract continued to oscillate narrowly. The supply - demand pattern remains loose, but the price has limited room to continue to decline [24]. Methanol - The import supply of methanol in coastal areas may slow down. The domestic methanol operating load remains high, and production enterprises are accumulating inventory. The methanol port market may oscillate within a range in the short - term [24]. Pure Benzene - The pure benzene price continued to fall overnight. The weekly production decreased, and the port inventory increased. The medium - term absolute price depends on the oil price and the performance of the external market [25]. Styrene - The cost - side support for styrene continues to decline. The supply - demand situation has improved slightly in the short - term, but the price continues to decline [26]. Polypropylene, Polyethylene, and Propylene - Propylene prices have fallen to a new low for the year, and the market trading atmosphere has improved. The polyethylene market has limited actual transactions. The polypropylene supply is expected to increase, and the downstream demand is weak [27]. PVC and Caustic Soda - PVC prices fluctuated narrowly during the day. The supply is under high pressure, and the demand is stable. The PVC may oscillate weakly. Caustic soda prices oscillated narrowly, and the inventory decreased. It is recommended to be cautious when short - selling [28]. PX and PTA - PX supply is expected to contract temporarily, and PTA supply is expected to increase. The terminal demand is expected to weaken. The prices of PX and PTA continue to be weak, and PTA is expected to accumulate inventory [29]. Ethylene Glycol - The domestic ethylene glycol operating rate has slightly declined, and the port inventory has continued to increase. The ethylene glycol price has broken through the support level and fallen. The short - term market lacks positive factors [30]. Short - Fiber and Bottle - Grade PET - Short - fiber has new production capacity, and the inventory has decreased weekly. It is recommended to be long - biased. The bottle - grade PET processing margin has improved, but the demand is expected to weaken [31]. Glass - Glass prices continued to decline. The glass factory inventory continues to increase, and the downstream demand is mainly for rigid needs. The decline amplitude is expected to be limited [32]. 20 - Rubber, Natural Rubber, and Butadiene Rubber - The international crude oil price fell, and the Thai raw material market prices mostly rose. The global natural rubber supply is in the high - production period. The post - holiday demand has recovered, but the supply pressure is large [33]. Soda Ash - Soda ash futures prices continued to decline. The supply is still under high pressure, and the downstream demand growth is limited. It is recommended to short after a rebound [34]. Group 2: Agricultural Products Soybeans and Soybean Meal - The sales progress of new - season US soybeans is slow, but US soybean crushing has increased. The domestic soybean supply is sufficient in the fourth quarter, but it may be tight in the first quarter of next year if the Sino - US trade relationship deteriorates. In a high - supply and high - inventory pattern, the soybean meal is likely to continue to oscillate weakly [35]. Soybean Oil and Palm Oil - The market sentiment has turned optimistic. The US soybean export demand is uncertain. The palm oil market has resilience. It is expected that oils are stronger than meals, and it is recommended to go long on oils at low prices [36]. Rapeseed and Rapeseed Oil - Domestic rapeseed has extremely low inventory and low operating rates. The supply side of rapeseed meal and rapeseed oil has a strong willingness to support prices. It is recommended to take a short - long strategy and pay attention to the marginal changes in the economic and trade relationship [37]. Domestic Soybeans - Domestic soybeans showed a strong upward trend and continued to oscillate and rebound. The short - term US soybean market sentiment is optimistic, but the export demand is uncertain. It is necessary to pay attention to the acquisition performance and policy guidance [38]. Corn - The autumn harvest progress of corn in the Huanghuai region is slow. The supply of corn is expected to remain loose, and the Dalian corn may continue to operate weakly at the bottom [39]. Hogs - The hog spot price rebounded after reaching a phased bottom. The supply pressure will still be large in the later stage. It is expected that the hog price may have a second bottom - testing in the first half of next year [40].
