Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views of the Report - The game space for the bond market from the economic fundamentals is shrinking. The economy performed well in Q1, and it is likely to be decent in Q2. It is highly probable that the annual growth rate will reach around 5%. Considering the bond market's front - running effect, not adding positions now may lead to missing an important long - buying window this year. For public funds with relative ranking assessments, it will be extremely difficult to outperform peer products in the second half of the year [4][10]. - Whether the central bank will restart bond purchases is a significant game point in the current bond market. Currently, market sentiment has reached a high level, with the bond market's leverage ratio and bond fund duration both rising. If the central bank announces bond purchases at the end of the month, the short - end yields may decline further, driving down the long - end yields. However, the monetary authority may be aware of the bond market's front - running tendency, and considering that the June 18th Lujiazui Forum did not mention restarting bond purchases and the central bank's Q2 monetary policy meeting maintained the statement of "monitoring changes in long - term bond yields", caution should be exercised regarding the central bank's potential restart of bond purchases [4][10]. - Investors face a prisoner's dilemma when gambling on the central bank's bond - buying. If the central bank restarts bond purchases, investors who miss the opportunity may find it difficult to have another chance to boost returns this year. For those who add positions, the ranking competition depends on the depth of strategy implementation (leverage, duration). If the central bank does not announce bond purchases, heavy - position investors may incur losses, and the ranking competition among those who added positions depends on the speed of stop - loss [4][10].

Report Summary Core View - In May, the raw coal production of industrial enterprises above designated size was 400 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 4.2%, and the growth rate was 0.4 percentage points faster than that in April. From January to May, the raw coal production of industrial enterprises above designated size was 1.99 billion tons, a year-on-year increase of 6.0%. Coal enterprises are prone to adopt a volume-for-price business strategy when coal prices decline, falling into a prisoner's dilemma where the lower the coal price, the higher the production [2]. Specific Data - In May, the raw coal production of industrial enterprises above designated size was 400 million tons, with a daily output of 13 million tons. From January to May, the cumulative production was 1.99 billion tons, which was the highest level in the same period in history. This output was 80 million tons higher than the same period in 2023 and 130 million tons higher than the same period in 2024 [2].

Group 1: Trump's Reaction to the Nickname - Trump reacted angrily to the nickname "Taco," calling it a disgusting question during a press conference [2]. - The nickname "Taco" was derived from a phrase indicating that Trump often retreats from his strong statements, particularly regarding tariffs [6].

Group 4: Underlying Reasons for Trump's Behavior - Trump's frequent retreats in negotiations are attributed to his desire for too much without sufficient backing, leading to a lack of confidence [8][20]. - The article suggests that the U.S. market's dependency on Chinese goods contributes to Trump's inability to take a hardline stance [20].

这种困境并非没有先例。上世纪90年代，中国家电行业曾爆发惨烈的价格战，若干头部品牌通过大幅降价抢占 市场，短期内销量激增，但最终导致全行业利润率暴跌，许多企业因资金链断裂而倒闭。同样，摩托车行业在 2000年左右的价格混战，使得原本技术领先的企业被迫缩减研发投入，出口竞争力减弱。这些教训表明，过度 打价格消耗战的市场策略，最终损害的是整个产业的可持续发展能力。 中汽协和工信部的发声是重要信号，但还需配套监管措施，如加强反不正当竞争执法、设定合理定价指导区间 等。头部企业自身的约束和担当也至关重要。正如中汽协在倡议中所言，优势企业不应垄断市场，挤压其他主 体生存空间。 当前，中国汽车产业正处于从"量变"到"质变"的关键阶段，价格战或许能带来短期销量增长，但长远来看，它 透支的是行业的创新力、品牌的溢价能力和消费者的信任。 中国新能源汽车产业的崛起，依靠的是一大批具有前瞻眼光的龙头车企的坚定投入、持续研发。在当前激烈的 竞争环境下，行业整体亟需跳出"囚徒困境"，继续保持这种对市场、对产业未来趋势的前瞻性、敏锐性，将目 光放长远。这既是产业担当，也是责任所在。 责编：李丹 校对： 陶谦 行业整体亟需跳出"囚徒困境" ...

近期，多家车企相继宣布大幅降价，掀起2025年汽车市场的又一轮价格战。面对这一局面，中国汽车工 业协会紧急发布倡议，呼吁企业停止"内卷式"价格战，工信部亦作出类似表态。 从经济学角度看，价格战是一种典型的"囚徒困境"。尽管车企都明白，长期低价竞争会削弱行业整体盈 利能力，但为了短期市场份额，仍不得不降价跟进。但如果降价成为行业普遍行为，消费者会逐渐形成 持币观望心态，进一步加剧市场萎缩，最终所有参与者都将陷入低利润、低研发投入、低产品竞争力的 恶性循环。 中汽协和工信部的发声是重要信号，但还需配套监管措施，如加强反不正当竞争执法、设定合理定价指 导区间等。头部企业自身的约束和担当也至关重要。正如中汽协在倡议中所言，优势企业不应垄断市 场，挤压其他主体生存空间。 当前，中国汽车产业正处于从"量变"到"质变"的关键阶段，价格战或许能带来短期销量增长，但长远来 看，它透支的是行业的创新力、品牌的溢价能力和消费者的信任。 中国新能源汽车产业的崛起，依靠的是一大批具有前瞻眼光的龙头车企的坚定投入、持续研发。在当前 激烈的竞争环境下，行业整体亟须跳出"囚徒困境"，继续保持这种对市场、对产业未来趋势的前瞻性、 敏锐性，将目 ...

1）把中国和其他国家分开，先易后难，尝试谈妥其他国家后再以优势地位开启对华谈判。 2）把安全问题与贸易问题进行捆绑，找控制力最强、对美最依赖且具有代表意义的日本、韩国来打样。 3）各方为了降低关税，必须从不同角度对美让利，如：扩大进口美货、增加对美投资、承担更多军费分摊义务 等，但美方不会取消10%的基准关税，且涉及特定行业的关税需一事一议。 想法很美好，落地却困难。 美国最初制定的关税谈判策略大致是这样的： 经过近两个月紧锣密鼓的磋商，特朗普政府一共只达成了两项拿得出手的协议：一个是5月8日美国和英国就贸易 框架达成一致，另一个是5月13日美国和中国宣布90天缓期。 近期有西方媒体报道，通过与各国贸易谈判官员以及美国商界领袖进行沟通，发现许多会谈中的分歧越来越大， 包括那些急于达成协议的政府，也意识到对美贸易谈判将是一场持久战。 据专业媒体分析，现阶段最有可能与特朗普政府达成协议的国家是印度和越南。 其中，美印协议更像是一个未来谈判的框架，有可能在6月份落地；而越南因面临46%的高关税，且对美出口关乎 经济命脉，因此最有可能做出重大让步。 除此之外，日本7月份要举行参议院选举，石破茂政府如果能谈出一个漂亮协 ...
