在全球化的今天，经济的相互依赖让各国之间的关系愈发复杂。在这样的背景下，美国总统特朗普的"关税战"显得尤为突出。最近，他对印度和中国的加税 举动，让这场贸易博弈再度成为焦点。这不仅是美国内政的反应，更是国际局势变化的风向标。 作为全球两大新兴市场，中印两国在能源采购上占据了举足轻重的位置。然而，这次特朗普的关税威胁似乎是在挑战这两个国家的经济韧性。特朗普以"印 度购买俄罗斯石油"为名，对印度进口商品加征高达50%的关税，连他自己都承认这是在坐实对"不合作"的惩罚。他还不止于此，媒体报道指出，他可能会 对中国也施加类似的关税，理由无外乎是中国同样在大规模购买俄罗斯石油。 正如巴西总统卢拉所言，这场斗争并不是单方面的"宣战争"，而更像是一场多方博弈的交响曲。特朗普的举动让本来在经贸上已经有着缝隙的金砖国家 （BRICS）迅速团结了起来。以往竞争激烈的中印，如今却可能因为共同的压力而携手抗衡美国的霸权。 但特朗普的加税策略究竟能否奏效呢？从历史来看，美国的保护主义往往适得其反。虽然美国自认为能够通过提高关税，改变其他国家的采购行为，进而打 击俄罗斯的经济基础，然而这样的逻辑却充满了单边思维的局限性。 美国的贸易政策 ...

Core Viewpoint - Tesla's recent $4.3 billion battery deal with LGES indicates a strategic shift to reduce reliance on Chinese battery suppliers due to increasing tariffs and costs associated with importing lithium iron phosphate batteries from China [5][8][10]. Group 1: Tesla's Strategic Shift - Tesla's CFO noted that U.S. tariffs have increased costs by $300 million, particularly impacting energy business due to reliance on Chinese imports [10]. - The current U.S. tariff policy imposes a total of 40.9% on imported storage batteries from China, which includes various tariffs [12]. - Tesla's decision to partner with LGES is seen as a move to localize production and avoid tariff-related costs, despite the challenges of completely severing ties with Chinese suppliers [20][23]. Group 2: Market Dynamics and Supply Chain - China dominates the lithium iron phosphate battery market, accounting for 94% of global production capacity in 2024, making it difficult for Tesla to fully transition away from Chinese suppliers [14][13]. - Key materials for lithium iron phosphate batteries are still sourced from China, indicating that even with new partnerships, some dependency remains [21][17]. - The U.S. has recognized that existing trade agreements do not effectively promote domestic manufacturing, leading to increased scrutiny and potential new tariffs on allied countries [30]. Group 3: Challenges for Chinese Suppliers - Chinese suppliers face significant barriers to entering the U.S. market, including regulatory hurdles and the need for local partnerships to navigate tariffs [36][34]. - The Inflation Reduction Act categorizes Chinese suppliers as "foreign entities of concern," complicating their ability to receive subsidies and participate in the U.S. market [36]. - Despite the challenges, some Chinese companies are attempting to establish manufacturing facilities in the U.S. to mitigate tariff impacts, but face numerous obstacles [34][37].

Group 1 - The core issue in global supply chains is the control of key resources, rather than tariffs or slogans, which are often seen as direct influences on national strategic security [1] - The U.S. military industry faces a significant crisis due to a shortage of rare earth resources, exacerbated by China's stricter export controls [1][4] - Prices of critical rare earth elements have skyrocketed, with samarium increasing from 100 yuan per kilogram to 6000 yuan, a 60-fold increase, impacting global supply chain stability [3][4] Group 2 - China has implemented strict export controls on high-end rare earth resources, particularly samarium, neodymium, and praseodymium, which are essential for military applications [3][4] - The U.S. defense sector is experiencing inventory shortages and production delays due to difficulties in sourcing rare earth materials, highlighting vulnerabilities in the supply chain [4] - The U.S. government is attempting to revitalize its rare earth industry through funding and subsidies, but faces challenges in rebuilding a complete supply chain [5][7] Group 3 - Despite having rare earth resources, the U.S. lacks the refining capabilities, having outsourced this process to China, complicating efforts to establish a domestic supply chain [5] - The U.S. is exploring overseas markets, particularly in Southeast Asia, for rare earth resources, with Myanmar being a focal point, despite its unstable conditions [9][11] - China's control over the rare earth supply chain is reinforced by its technological and industrial advantages, making it difficult for the U.S. to compete without significant investment and time [13][15]

SHMET 网讯：今年上半年，欧洲经济回暖、美国经济维持韧性、日韩经济偏弱，发达经济体大宗商品需求增速企稳。新兴经济体方面，除印度维持较 高的经济增速外，其他经济体经济增速走弱，大宗商品需求增速略有下降。随着美国对其他国家暂缓加征关税的窗口期进入最后1天倒计时，市场投资者对 下半年全球大宗商品需求预期存在较大分歧。 铜：三季度价格或阶段性承压（金瑞期货 孟昊 吴梓杰 林泓） 今年上半年，市场预计美国将加征铜关税，叠加"对等关税"的影响，伦铜价格出现宽幅波动，估值持续抬升，均价在9500美元／吨左右。此外，由于 COMEX期铜的虹吸作用，期限结构由Contango转为Back。 宏观方面，美国经济下行压力加大，预计美联储下半年将降息1到2次，最早的降息时点或出现在9月份。在宏观政策托底的情况下，我国经济复苏节奏 逐步加快。 基本面方面，需求端需要关注原料进口情况。铜关税落地前，铜现货仍将流入美国，流入规模约18万吨，整体来看对铜价短期利多、长期利空。我国上 半年的原料进口规模在35万吨左右，预计未来继续增长的概率偏低。基于原料库存水平已经较低，我国下半年的合理月均精铜产量预计在105万～108万吨。 供应端，机 ...

Group 1 - The new trade agreement between the US and EU indicates a limitation on the EU's trade policy autonomy, suggesting that it may lead to economic concessions that could negatively impact local employment and industry development in Europe [1] - The agreement is expected to increase global trade costs, affecting the speed of global economic growth, and undermining the authority and effectiveness of the WTO, potentially leading to a fragmented global trade environment [2] - The essence of the agreement is that the EU is making economic concessions in exchange for strategic breathing space, which may expose its passive position in the US-EU dynamics, while high tariffs and industrial subsidies could become the new norm, leading to long-term cost increases [3] Group 2 - The agreement may reshape the global energy market by impacting traditional energy exporters like Russia, Qatar, and Australia, indicating a shift in market shares [3] - In the technology sector, the EU's investment commitments in the semiconductor field may create competitive dynamics with the US, altering the landscape of competition and cooperation [3]

Core Viewpoint - The development of artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance risk management, prevent counterfeit products, accelerate logistics, reduce waiting times, and ultimately lower consumer costs, thereby promoting supply chain efficiency and trade facilitation [1][2]. Group 1: AI and Trade Facilitation - AI is projected to become a $4.8 trillion global market by 2033, equivalent to Germany's current economic size, but it may exacerbate global inequality if urgent actions are not taken [2]. - The implementation of the WTO Trade Facilitation Agreement, effective since February 2017, is considered a significant achievement in trade facilitation, establishing minimum standards for global trade facilitation rules [4]. - AI can be utilized for risk management to prevent counterfeit products and to speed up the flow of goods, which can reduce consumer costs [4][5]. Group 2: Cross-Border Data Flow and Digitalization - Enhancing cross-border data exchange is crucial for reducing trade costs, as current gaps in trade facilitation are largely due to inadequate data flow [5]. - The use of digital tools can streamline import and export processes, saving time, reducing errors, and lowering costs for businesses, which in turn benefits consumers [6]. Group 3: Inclusivity in Global Supply Chains - Organizations like the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade play a vital role in enhancing the resilience of global supply chains, providing valuable insights for other countries [7]. - The UNCTAD is looking forward to deepening cooperation with China to build a more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient global supply chain [7].
