Alumina prices continue to rise due to supply disruptions [1]. - Zinc fundamentals are weak, and it is recommended to look for short - selling opportunities [1]. - Nickel prices will oscillate in the short - term and face long - term oversupply pressure. Short - term interval trading is suggested [1]. - Stainless steel futures will oscillate in the short - term with long - term supply pressure.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The core logic of the black sector this year is the further relaxation of furnace material supply, upstream concessions in the industrial chain, cost loosening leading to a downward shift in the valuation center, and the limited short - term effect of demand - side and supply - side policies on price boosts. It's necessary to maintain the idea of rolling sell - hedging [4]. - For coking coal and coke, the supply of carbon elements is abundant, the spot trend is weak, and the idea of shorting on rallies remains. Consider participating in the JM9 - 1 calendar spread [5]. - For ferroalloys, the rebound of ferrosilicon due to tight spot supply may continue, while manganese silicon has no new production - cut expectations for now [6]. - For iron ore, it is in a volatile state in May. After May, if the steel fundamentals weaken, it is more likely that steel will be weaker than ore [7]. Summary by Related Catalogs Steel - Weekend steel spot prices mainly declined. After the temporary improvement in market sentiment, the black sector returned to a decline, with carbon elements leading the decline. The industry's core logic is the relaxation of furnace material supply and upstream concessions. As domestic demand for building materials enters the off - season and the risk of weakening export - oriented plate demand exists, it is necessary to maintain a rolling sell - hedging strategy. For trading, it is recommended to stay on the sidelines for single - side trading, choose hot - rolled coils with better liquidity for spot - futures operations, and manage positions and conduct appropriate inventory rotation [4][8]. Coking Coal and Coke - In the spot market, the first round of coke price cuts was quickly implemented, and coking coal auction prices continued to decline with a high non - bid rate. There are still expectations of further price cuts. In the futures market, the black chain index rebounded due to tariff reduction but was still under the pressure of the 20 - day moving average. Macroscopically, the trade war situation may fluctuate, and the financial data in April was weak. Industrially, the market has expectations for "rush - to - export" during the tariff suspension period, but steel prices are still rising weakly. For coking coal and coke, due to abundant supply and downstream de - stocking, the strategy of shorting on rallies is maintained for single - side trading, and consider participating in the JM9 - 1 calendar spread [5]. Ferroalloys - There were many production - cut news for large - scale ferrosilicon and manganese silicon manufacturers this week, with a significant decline in production. Ferrosilicon spot is tight, and its rebound may continue. Manganese silicon has no new large - scale production - cut expectations after profit repair. The Hebei Steel Group's tender price was at a low level, but the quantity increased. The cost of manganese ore rebounded, and the overall cost of manganese silicon was stable. The cost of ferrosilicon may decline slightly. It is recommended to hold previous long positions in ferrosilicon and positive calendar spreads of the two ferroalloys [6]. Iron Ore - The current comprehensive tariff is still at a high level. In May, iron ore is in a volatile state. After May, if the steel fundamentals weaken, steel may be weaker than ore. It is recommended to consider shorting on rallies [7]. Market Data - **Futures Market**: On May 16, the far - month and near - month contract closing prices of various black metal varieties mostly declined, with different degrees of decline in each variety. The cross - month spreads, spreads, ratios, and profits of the main contracts also showed corresponding changes [2]. - **Spot Market**: On May 16, the spot prices of various black metal varieties also mostly declined, and the basis of each variety showed different degrees of change [2].

自上任以来，美国总统特朗普已充分让全球人民看到了他的"喜怒无常"，关税政策朝令夕改也是见怪不怪了。由此带来的不确定性令人苦不堪言，从企业到 各国政府均被牵涉其中。 就在刚刚过去的周日，美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特（Scott Bessent）周日再次为特朗普辩护称，在与其他国家的贸易谈判中使用"战略不确定性"，是特朗普 的谈判策略。 当被问及特朗普的关税给美国小企业带来的不确定性时，贝森特在一档节目中说，"就我们与全球各国的糟糕贸易形势而言，我们不是一夜之间就走到这一 步的。特朗普总统正在重新谈判这些问题，战略上的不确定性是一种谈判策略。" 贝森特说，"我们不想与中国脱钩。特朗普总统实际上想要中国开放商业。所以我们想把制造业带回来。" "在新冠疫情期间，我们意识到我们有一些非常战略性的不足，无论是药品、半导体、钢铁还是其他产品。因此，中期目标是尽快恢复这些战略产业。"他补 充说。 上周一，中美发布日内瓦经贸会谈联合声明：双方承诺将于2025年5月14日前采取一系列举措，包括修改和取消对彼此商品加征的关税，以及暂停或取消非 关税反制措施。这也意味着这两个全球最大的经济体之间的贸易摩擦有所缓和，向全球释放了积极信号 ...

Group 1 - The core point of the article highlights the ongoing tensions between the US and China despite recent agreements to lower tariffs, with Trump taking actions that suggest a continuation of the trade and technology conflict [1][3][15] - Trump's threats to increase tariffs if no new agreement is reached within 90 days indicate a strategy to maintain a tough image domestically while acknowledging the economic pressures from China [3][7] - The US's renewed restrictions on Huawei's Ascend chips reflect a continuation of the technology war initiated during the Biden administration, aiming to curb China's advancements in AI and semiconductor industries [5][9] Group 2 - The US's prohibition on international loans to Chinese companies in Colombia signals a geopolitical maneuver to counter China's growing influence in Latin America, particularly following recent cooperation agreements between Colombia and China [5][11] - The article discusses the broader implications of these actions, suggesting that the US's attempts to isolate China may be met with resistance from Latin American countries that see tangible benefits from Chinese investments [11][15] - The shift in rhetoric from US Senator Rubio, from labeling China as an enemy to a challenge, indicates a potential reevaluation of the US's approach towards China, suggesting a need for balance rather than outright decoupling [11][15]

关于中方究竟是否会"解禁"稀土出口这个问题，商务部新闻发言人何咏前表示，鉴于美方根据中美经贸高层会谈共识， 撤销暂停或调整有关对华加征关税，中方相应调整有关关税和非关税对美反制措施。不过，中方在近期依然在就稀土出 口进行合理管控。比如就在9日，中方在深圳举办了打击战略矿产走私出口专项行动现场会；12号，中方在长沙举办了加 强战略矿产出口全链条管控工作部署会。显然，中方对稀土出口的管控有可能在近期不会出现太大的变化，那么这又是 为什么呢？ 这代表美国对中国发起的全面贸易战、关税战第一阶段失败后，转向在科技与芯片领域试图用"长臂管辖"重点进攻。问 题是，美国这次的"长臂管辖"也太长了。禁止全球使用华为芯片，甚至禁止中国企业在中国使用中国制造的先进芯片！ 美方为这条荒谬规定找到的理由是，华为的昇腾芯片过于先进，很可能是采用了某些美国软件或技术设计的，或很可能 由含有美国程序或技术的半导体制造设备制造。可笑的是，美国没有证据，纯靠猜测，就要给华为昇腾芯片"判死刑"。 事实上，长期以来，美国内部的对华鹰派就一直将中国半导体企业作为打击目标，同时也颁布了多种制裁措施来限制尖 端芯片对华出口，而这些做法其背后的真实意图无疑 ...

近期，媒体报道了一项来自美国某调查机构的研究结果，该研究显示，在被调查的100个国家和地区中，有高达80%对中国的看法呈现积极态度，甚至好于 对美国的评价。 5月17日，针对这一调查结果，知名评论员项立刚发表了他的见解。项立刚指出，随着中国军事实力的日益增强，国家形象也在不断提升。他特别提到，中 国文化中的和平理念正在逐渐影响更多国家和地区。此外，中国在制造业和基础设施建设方面的领导地位，使得其在国际舞台上的形象愈发积极。 实际上，项立刚的观点是有依据的。中国一直以来都是一个崇尚和平的国家。在过去几十年中，伴随着经济的迅猛发展，中国在国际事务中的参与度与影响 力不断提高。在与他国的互动中，中国不仅毫不保留地分享自身的成功经验，还积极派遣农业专家前往不发达国家，帮助提升其农业生产能力。同时，中国 还无偿支持多国进行基础设施建设，积极推动全球发展。 助、援外志愿者和债务减免。援助贫 金主要包括无偿援助、无息贷款和优 惠贷款。 截至2011年底,中国政府帮助受援国 建成了2200多个与当地生产、生活息 息相关的各类项目,改善了受援国基 础设施状况，增加了税收和就业，繁 荣了城乡经济,促进了当地经济社会 发展。根据受 ...

据报道，当地时间5月15日，美国总统特朗普在卡塔尔表示，印度已同意不对美国商品收取任何关税。然而，此前刚刚有媒体透露，印度对美态度硬气起来 了，从积极谈判，到提议对美加征关税。据路透社和彭博社消息，当天，特朗普在卡塔尔首都多哈与企业高管会面时表示："在印度销售产品非常困难，但 他们向我们提出一项协议，基本上愿意不向我们收取任何关税。"特朗普并未透露更多细节，也并未表示美国是否将降低对印度关税或对印零关税。 莫迪（资料图） 眼见着中国对美国关税战发起了反击，并取得了不错的结果，印度方面也蠢蠢欲动。5月13日，印度向世贸组织提起了诉讼，指控美国对印度钢铝产品加征 25%的关税违反了贸易协议。按照印度的说法，该国每年向美国出口76亿美元的钢铝产品，美国加征关税平白让其损失了25亿美元。不仅如此，莫迪政府还 叫嚣要对美国商品实施对等报复。结果，美国总统特朗普大怒，狠狠打脸了莫迪，威胁要对印度商品加征500%的关税。这一下子，莫迪反而消停了不少。 不是所有国家都能复制中国的成功，中国是全球最大的制造业中心，也是全球第二大经济体，具备和美国正面掰手腕的实力，而印度虽然人口世界第一，但 经济总量只有中国的五分之一，而且印度 ...

到此为止，从4月2日特朗普所谓的"解放日"算起，一场为期40天的"数字游戏"以特朗普的让步收场，在关税水平从145%回落到10%之后，双方进入了实质性 的谈判阶段。 实际上，当美国把对华关税提升至145%之后，所有人都明白这场关税战已经"数字游戏"，因为145%和100%基本没有任何区别，包括美国财长贝森特在内的 许多业内人士都认为这是不可持续的，因为这不仅会打乱国际供应链，还会对美国本土的经济造成极大冲击。 以美国的主要出口产品石油和大豆为例，中国一直是美国最大的大豆出口市场，而在特朗普宣布"对等关税"的半个月内，美国对中国的大豆出口量下降了 67%，销售额直接遭遇了腰斩，导致许多相关的行业协会纷纷写信给白宫要求取消这一离谱的关税政策。 中美两国在瑞士的经贸谈判取得了怎样的成果？在这一个月的时间内，美国的经济遭受到了怎样的冲击呢？ 瑞士当地时间5月11日，中美两国在日内瓦结束了4月2日贸易战升级以来的首次双边谈判，原本外界以为激烈的拉锯战并未出现，仅仅经过了2天的谈判，双 方就已经在关税问题方面达成了初步协议。 根据双方会后发表的联合声明中来看，在特朗普当初宣布的34%的对华对等关税中，将只保留10%的基本 ...
