Core Viewpoints - The international cotton price maintains a weak consolidation trend due to factors such as the continuous loosening of global cotton supply - demand and weak export demand for US cotton. The market sentiment is low because of the Sino - US tariff negotiation. - In the domestic market, although the commercial cotton inventory is de - stocking well, it is still at a high level. With the high possibility of a new cotton bumper harvest this year and the weak demand, the upward space for Zhengzhou cotton is limited. [16] 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Review - The main contract of Zhengzhou cotton 2509 rose 0.66%, closing at 13,675 yuan/ton, up 90 yuan/ton from the previous trading day.

[2] 3.2 Macroeconomic and Industry News - As of July 30, 2025, the total number of cotton warehouse receipts on the Zhengzhou Commodity Exchange was 9,032 (-123), including 8,684 (-123) registered warehouse receipts and 348 (+0) valid forecasts. - As of July 31, 2025, the national new cotton picking and delivery were basically completed.

[7][10][14][15] 3.4 Analysis and Strategy - Internationally, the US unemployment rate slightly rose to 4.2% in July, and the labor participation rate continued to decline. The "pseudo - unemployment" phenomenon may delay the Fed's policy shift. Although the GDP increased by 3% in the second quarter, the deterioration of the employment market has made investors bet on the Fed to start a cycle of interest rate cuts in advance. - The international cotton price maintains a weak consolidation trend due to factors such as the continuous loosening of global cotton supply - demand and weak export demand for US cotton. The Sino - US tariff negotiation has reduced market enthusiasm. - Domestically, the commercial cotton inventory is de - stocking well but still at a high level. With the high possibility of a new cotton bumper harvest and weak demand, the upward space for Zhengzhou cotton is limited. [16]

Core Viewpoint - The recent week in the U.S. stock market was marked by strong earnings reports from major tech companies, yet overshadowed by new tariff fluctuations and a disappointing employment report, leading to a chaotic and contradictory market environment [1][3]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - The market is grappling with conflicting signals, including a significant drop in short-term Treasury yields due to a poor non-farm employment report and new tariff uncertainties [3]. - Despite strong quarterly earnings from major tech firms, the muted stock price reactions suggest that market expectations have become more stringent [4]. - Small-cap stocks faced their worst week since last year, with the Russell 2000 index dropping 4% over five consecutive trading days, indicating a lack of market breadth [4].

Group 4: Global Perspective - In the global asset allocation landscape, U.S. assets, particularly tech stocks, remain favorable despite a temporary sell-off in April [7]. - The report acknowledges strong performance in the Chinese market, especially in the tech sector, but notes that the market is still waiting for domestic consumption to be fully realized [7]. Group 5: Federal Reserve Challenges - The Federal Reserve's inaction amidst significant events raises concerns about the risk of policy missteps, particularly as core commodity inflation rises while the labor market weakens [8]. - Traders are advised to pay attention to market signals, with short-term options becoming an important tool for professional fund managers [8].

原创 经济学家洪灝 洪灝的宏观策略 2025年08月02日 市场质疑统计数据的声音四起。很多人认为出现如此大的就业数据下修，那么一定是统计局局长水平不够，或者是就业数据被掺水了，并据此而 对于特朗普的斩首行动拍手称快。如果各位还记得，在不到一年前，2024年的9月大选前，特朗普的手下干将Rubio认为当时的就业数据显著地低 估了拜登时期经济困难的状况。也就是说，卢比奥不到一年前认为美国的就业数据太高了，美化了拜登的执政政绩。那么，现在特朗普又认为就 业数据太低了，并以此为借口炒掉了劳力统计局局长，不免有选择性执法之嫌。顺便说一下，这位局长是拜登任命的。 上一次美国劳动统计局局长被炒，还是1932年大萧条时期。当时由于局长不同意胡佛的经济政策，胡佛就把他炒了，而大萧条继续。 特朗普不仅仅炒掉了局座，他还在自己的社交媒体上继续对于美联储主席鲍威尔攻击施压。这是过去几年来，特朗普在自己的社交媒体上攻击鲍 威尔最频繁的一次，并在上周实地视察了美联储斥资30亿美元的装修工程，当面施压。特朗普认为鲍威尔早就应该降息，但补充说不"会马上炒掉 鲍威尔"，然后又加了一句"如果不是担心市场波动，早就把他炒了"。随后，媒体又爆出了 ...
