Report Overview - Report Title: "Stock Index Futures Weekly Report" [2] - Report Date: June 13, 2025 - Author: Liao Hongbin 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report 2. Report's Core View - A-share major indices fluctuated narrowly this week and all recorded declines, with only the Science and Technology Innovation 50 Index falling more than 1%. The four stock index futures also showed narrow fluctuations, and the differentiation between large and small-cap stocks was not obvious. The market trading activity significantly rebounded compared with last week. Overseas, the US extended the exemption period for the Section 301 investigation on China during the Dragon Boat Festival, while the Israel-Iran conflict intensified regional tensions, causing global risk assets to weaken. The US plan to impose additional tariffs on steel household appliances also had a negative impact on the market. Domestically, in May, the CPI turned from rising to falling month-on-month, the year-on-year decline remained the same as last month, the year-on-year decline of PPI widened further, and the CPI-PPI gap widened, indicating continued pressure on prices. The scale of China's import and export trade further shrank in May due to tariff policies. Overall, the previous positive news from China-US trade negotiations has been mostly reflected in prices. The market is currently affected by overseas geopolitical situations and the repeated changes in the trade war. Meanwhile, domestic deflationary pressure persists, and the import and export are weak under tariff impacts, putting pressure on the economic fundamentals and limiting the upside space of the market. The market is in a policy vacuum period with limited incremental funds, making it difficult for the stock market to strengthen significantly. After the short-term risk sentiment is released, the stock market is expected to remain in a volatile state. It is recommended to wait and see for now [4][85]. 3.

Core View of the Report - A-share major indices generally rose, with the Shanghai Composite Index breaking through 3400 points. The three major indices rose and then fell. The trading volume of the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock markets significantly declined. Most industry sectors rose, with non-ferrous metals and agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry and fishery sectors strengthening significantly, while the medicine, biology, communication, and beauty care sectors declined against the market. - Domestically, in terms of the economic fundamentals, on the price front, in May, the domestic CPI changed from an increase to a decrease month-on-month, and the year-on-year decline remained the same as last month.

瑞郎对美元年内涨逾10%,是否出手干预?瑞士央行陷入两难
Di Yi Cai Jing· 2025-06-05 05:50
Core Viewpoint - The significant appreciation of the Swiss Franc is creating deflationary pressures in Switzerland, complicating the Swiss National Bank's (SNB) ability to intervene due to the current U.S. administration's stance [1][3][4]. Group 1: Economic Impact - The Swiss Franc has appreciated over 10% against the U.S. dollar since the beginning of the year, driven by global market volatility and a flight to safety [3][4]. - The strong Swiss Franc has led to a decrease in import prices, contributing to a 2.4% year-on-year decline in import prices and a 0.1% decrease in the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in May, marking Switzerland's first return to deflation since the pandemic [3][4]. Group 2: Central Bank Response - The SNB may be forced to consider reintroducing negative interest rates as a response to the strong Swiss Franc, which could further lower the key interest rate by 25 basis points to -0.25% by the end of the year [5][6]. - The SNB ended its seven-year negative interest rate policy in 2022, but the current economic conditions may necessitate a reconsideration of this stance [5][6]. Group 3: Foreign Exchange Intervention Challenges - The SNB's ability to intervene in the foreign exchange market is complicated by the U.S. government's potential response, as any direct intervention could lead to accusations of currency manipulation, reminiscent of the 2020 designation by the U.S. Treasury [6][7]. - The current geopolitical climate and the U.S. administration's trade policies make it difficult for the SNB to utilize foreign exchange interventions without facing significant repercussions [6][7].
