Core Viewpoint - The article discusses India's reluctance to effectively retaliate against the U.S. in the ongoing trade war, highlighting its tendency to undermine China's efforts while failing to take decisive action against the U.S. [1][6][14] Group 1: India's Response to U.S. Tariffs - India has previously announced plans to impose retaliatory tariffs on U.S. goods but has not followed through, indicating a lack of resolve in confronting the U.S. [7] - The Indian government has expressed intentions to learn from China's approach to countering U.S. tariffs, yet has not taken significant steps to implement such measures [3][6]. - Despite initial enthusiasm, India's actions have resulted in higher tariffs on its own goods, with a reported 50% maximum tariff imposed, leading to stalled negotiations with the U.S. [9] Group 2: China's Position in the Trade War - China has actively engaged in countermeasures against the U.S., utilizing its leverage in rare earth exports and other sectors, which has put pressure on the U.S. [3][16]. - The article emphasizes that China's success in the trade war could benefit global markets, including India, if India chose to align with China rather than undermine it [16]. - China's recent actions, such as imposing anti-dumping duties on Indian solar panels, reflect its strategy to protect its interests while responding to India's provocations [9][14].

分析人士指出，特朗普此番动作实为"一石三鸟"之计。其一，在2026年中期选举前强化对俄强硬形象。最新民调显示，62%美国人支持扩大制 裁范围，这为特朗普提供了政治操作空间。其二，解决美国石油产业的实际困境。自2019年成为最大产油国后，美国石油出口持续增长，但近 期全球需求下滑导致库存积压，亟需印度这个全球第三大石油消费国接盘。其三，为后续对华极限施压做铺垫，形成"合纵连横"之势。 实际上，早在特朗普第一任期，美国就已经开启加征关税的行动，但此轮规模与幅度堪称空前。其战略意图至少包含三个层面：通过加征关 税，抬高进口商品价格保护本土产业，推动美国空心化的产业实现复兴；制造贸易动荡引发资本恐慌，促使各国投资将美国视为避风港，大量 涌入美国投资，以此缓解美国债务压力，稳固美元的国际地位；为关联资本和家族创造套利空间。这种政策组合拳既服务于产业复兴，又着眼 于金融博弈，更暗含利益输送，充分体现了特朗普式经济政策的复杂性。 近日，美国总统特朗普在白宫记者会上高调宣布，印度总理莫迪已同意"将停止购买俄罗斯石油"，尽管需要时间过渡。随即他又话锋一转，宣 称中国也必须这么做。同日，美财政部长紧随其后对华加征500%关税的威 ...

Group 1 - Trump's tariff pressure strategy has shown effectiveness in some countries, particularly India, which has announced a halt to purchasing Russian oil, indicating a shift in its stance [1][3] - The U.S. is now focusing on China, with Trump openly threatening to impose tariffs as high as 500% on Chinese goods, aiming to exert pressure similar to that applied on India [1][8] - India's decision to stop buying Russian oil is attributed to two main factors: heavy tariff burdens from the U.S. and payment issues with Russian oil suppliers, who now demand payment in yuan or rubles [6][8] Group 2 - China's response to U.S. threats has been firm, with the Foreign Ministry rejecting unilateral sanctions and asserting its right to choose energy sources independently [9] - The potential for the EU to join the U.S. in imposing sanctions on China is complicated by the EU's economic reliance on China, particularly in sectors like photovoltaics and clean energy [9] - Russia has also expressed a strong stance against cooperating with any country to confront China, emphasizing its national interests and rejecting external pressures [12][13]

面对这一局面，中国的立场始终清晰而坚定：我们不惧怕与美国展开"贸易战"，若战必奉陪到底。然而，从美国上下表现出的紧张神情不难看出，旷日持久 的关税战只会让美国自身遭受更严重的损失。事实上，特朗普和美国财政部长也深知这一点，否则他们不会提出以三个月的关税缓冲期来换取中国放弃稀土 管制措施。 此前中美贸易磋商的结果显示，双方关税的缓冲期将于下个月的十号到期。这意味着，留给两国达成最终协议的时间已不足一个月。一旦在此期间未能就新 的关税条款达成一致，美国极有可能对中国商品征收数倍的关税，届时中美两国市场将面临彻底脱钩的严峻风险。 按理说，既然美国已在中国"稀土大棒"的威力下感到痛苦，并请求中国网开一面，至少应摆出诚恳求人的姿态，而非继续以一种高高在上、施舍般的傲慢姿 态示人。事已至此，美国难道还不认为手握高科技含量的芯片便能拿捏中国吗？ 究竟是芯片杀伤力更大，还是稀土威力更强，两者之间的内在联系已然揭示了答案。稀土是制造精密芯片不可或缺的关键原材料。换言之，一旦稀土资源的 供应中断，美国的芯片制造企业和军事工业将面临停滞，甚至可能走向破产。因此，对比之下，稀土的战略价值显然远超芯片。难怪稀土被誉为"工业的维 生素" ...

1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided regarding the report's industry investment rating in the given content. 2. Report's Core View - The A - share market is expected to experience continued volatility due to the escalation of Sino - US trade disputes, high valuations in the technology sector, and high uncertainty in end - of - month negotiations. Short - term strategies can include arbitrage (long large - cap blue - chips and short small - cap growth stocks) and reducing positions. Attention can be paid to defensive sectors and policy - beneficial sectors [13]. - The bond market is expected to stabilize in October, but a counter - offensive may require a resurgence of easing expectations. The short - term stock - bond seesaw is significant, and the bond market's safe - haven sentiment is boosted by the frictions in the external environment. The sustainability of the bond market's strength is questionable, and it is advisable to wait patiently for better bond - market allocation opportunities, which may appear in the second half of the fourth quarter [100][110]. - For the shipping index, the spot freight rates are currently falling, but the shipping companies are raising prices for the second half of October and November, and there is an expectation of a price increase in the far - month contracts. The December contract has the opportunity for an oversold correction [130]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Stock Index 3.1.1 Market Review - Since the beginning of the year, the A - share market has shown a trend of short - term correction followed by a strong run, a sharp decline after external shocks and then a rebound and continuous upward movement, and consolidation after the realization of positive news and a stalemate in negotiations. The market has been affected by various factors such as technological trends, economic concerns, trade policies, and policy stimuli [7]. - From October 13 - 17, 2025, the A - share market declined with reduced trading volume. The futures market was generally weaker than the spot market. The market is expected to continue to fluctuate due to Sino - US trade disputes and high valuations in the technology sector [10][13]. 3.1.2 Transaction and Position Analysis - Stock index trading volume increased. The average daily trading volumes of IF, IH, IC, and IM increased compared to the previous week. The overall position of the stock index also increased [14]. 3.1.3 Basis, Inter - period Spread, and Inter - variety Spread Analysis - Basis trends were divergent. The basis of CSI 300 widened, SSE 50 changed from premium to discount, CSI 500 basis widened, and CSI 1000 basis narrowed [18][19]. - The inter - period spreads of IF, IH, IC, and IM all showed negative values and widened. The same was true for the spreads between the current - quarter and the current - month contracts [25]. - Large - cap blue - chips performed relatively better. The ratios of different indices were at different historical percentile levels and changed compared to the previous period [27]. 3.1.4 Industry Sector Overview - In the CSI 300, the financial, energy, and public sectors led the gains, while the information, communication, and pharmaceutical sectors led the losses. In the CSI 500, the energy sector led the gains, and the information, raw material, and industrial sectors led the losses [30][31]. - At the primary industry level, the banking, coal, and food and beverage sectors led the gains, while the electronics, media, and automobile sectors led the losses [32][34]. 3.1.5 Valuation Comparison - As of October 17, 2025, the rolling price - to - earnings ratios of CSI 300, SSE 50, CSI 500, and CSI 1000 were at different levels and historical percentile positions [36]. 3.2 Treasury Bonds 3.2.1 This Week's Market Review - **Treasury Bond Futures Market**: The A - share market's performance affected the bond market. The long - end futures generally outperformed the cash bonds. There were certain positive arbitrage opportunities in each contract, and the basis of 10 - year, 5 - year, and 2 - year bonds was relatively low with potential for upward regression. Due to poor liquidity, it is not recommended to participate in the inter - period strategy of the 2603 contract. A flattening strategy (short short - end and long long - end) can be considered [41][43][58][62]. - **Bond Cash Market**: Most treasury bond spot yields declined this week. A - share adjustments boosted the sentiment of long - term bonds, and long - end yields declined more significantly. US bond yields also declined across the board [71]. - **Funding Situation**: At the beginning of the month, the funding pressure was low, and the central bank mainly conducted net withdrawals. The funding situation returned to a relaxed state, and there was no liquidity stratification between banks and non - banks. Funding rates fluctuated [77][78]. - **Interest Rate Derivatives**: Most yields of interest rate swaps declined this week, and the liquidity expectation was stable [94]. 3.2.2 Market Analysis - **Recent Market Logic**: The bond market is expected to stabilize in October, but a counter - offensive may require a resurgence of easing expectations. The sustainability of the bond market's strength is questionable, and it is advisable to wait patiently for better allocation opportunities [100]. - **This Week's Fundamental Situation**: September's export data was better than expected, but inflation and social financing were still weak. Export growth may face risks in the later period, inflation showed slow recovery, and social financing had both negative and positive signals [101][102]. - **Next Week's Bond Market Outlook**: The short - term stock - bond seesaw is significant, and the bond market's safe - haven sentiment is boosted by the frictions in the external environment. Attention should be paid to next week's economic data [110]. 3.2.3 Next Week's Open - Market Maturities and Important Economic Calendar Next week, there will be a total of 7891 billion yuan of reverse repurchase maturities in the open market, and there will be important economic data such as September's LPR loan quotes and third - quarter economic data [112]. 3.3 Shipping Index 3.3.1 Market Review The SCFIS continued to decline for 13 consecutive weeks, but shipping companies raised freight rates for the second half of October and November, and China's counter - measures against the US improved the sentiment of far - month contracts [114]. 3.3.2 Container Shipping Market Situation - **Spot Market**: Freight rates on most ocean routes rebounded, and shipping companies raised freight rates for the second half of October and November. Although the full implementation of the price increase may be difficult, a bottom - up trend is likely to form, which is expected to boost the expectations of far - month contracts [120]. - **Supply - Demand Fundamentals of Container Shipping**: On the supply side, the container shipping capacity in Europe in October was at a relatively high level in the off - season, and the potential capacity is expected to continue to grow. The actual capacity decreased slightly, but the supply pressure still exists. The progress of the cease - fire agreement in the Red Sea is uncertain, and it is unlikely to bring additional supply pressure this year. On the demand side, the eurozone's economic indicators showed a slowdown, and the macro - demand continued weak recovery, which may have limited support for container shipping prices [125][126]. 3.3.3 Market Outlook In October, it is the traditional off - season, and the supply pressure still exists. However, shipping companies are raising prices for the end - of - year long - term contract season, and there is an expectation of price increases in far - month contracts. The December contract has the opportunity for an oversold correction [130].
