Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - In the macro - aspect, copper prices declined from a high level this week, with COMEX copper plummeting 24% in a single week, fully closing the nearly $3000 price gap with LME copper in the past six months. Overseas non - farm data was worse than expected, and previous data was significantly revised down, increasing market expectations of US economic pressure. The Fed maintained the interest rate, and Powell's slightly hawkish stance responded to Trump's administration's pressure for rate cuts. Tariffs are gradually affecting demand. In China, the "anti - involution" movement - driven price increase has ended, but policy continuity will continue, and more implemented policies need attention. - In terms of industrial fundamentals, COMEX copper's pricing of a 50% tariff in its price is unsustainable. The US domestic and export copper trade attractiveness has decreased, affecting COMEX copper positions. After the 50% tariff on downstream primary copper products and exemption for refined copper, the $3000 price gap between US and international copper prices has rapidly converged. The flow of the US's 20 - year high copper inventory and the resulting demand shock will put pressure on international copper prices, and weak demand will be reflected in LME inventory accumulation [5][89]. Summary by Directory Macro - aspect - **PMI**: In July 2025, the manufacturing PMI of the US and Europe declined. The euro - zone's July manufacturing PMI was 49.8%, with Germany at 49.2% and France at 48.4%. The US July S&P Global manufacturing PMI was 49.5%, down 3.4 percentage points month - on - month. China's July manufacturing PMI was 49.3%, down 0.4 percentage points month - on - month, below the boom - bust line for four consecutive months. New orders and new export orders both declined, and demand sub - indicators dropped faster [14]. - **Price Performance**: During the "anti - involution" movement in July, domestic commodities generally rose, but copper prices were subdued. If the 50% copper tariff is implemented, price pressure will increase. Domestic macro - policies are driving, but overseas expectations are still insufficient, with rate - cut expectations priced in for September. The Fed's independence has been repeatedly challenged, and the market is still tracking US economic data, with the latest manufacturing PMI significantly dropping below the boom - bust line [15]. Industrial Fundamentals - **Copper Concentrate Supply** - **Global Production**: In December 2024, global copper mine production was 2.096 million tons, up 4.96% year - on - year, and 22.835 million tons for the whole year, up 2.54%. In 2025 May, it was 2.006 million tons, up 6.14% year - on - year, and 9.524 million tons from January to May, up 3.27%.

The 2025 long - term copper concentrate processing fee benchmark was set at $21.25 per ton and 2.125 cents per pound [31]. - **Refined Copper Production**: In July 2025, China's electrolytic copper production increased by 39,400 tons month - on - month, up 3.47% and 14.21% year - on - year. From January to July, cumulative production increased by 820,800 tons, up 11.82%. In August, due to supply shortages, production is expected to decrease by 6,000 tons month - on - month, down 0.51%, but increase by 154,800 tons year - on - year, up 15.27% [37]. - **Refined Copper Imports and Exports**: In 2024, China imported 3.7388 million tons of refined copper, up 6.49% year - on - year, and exported 457,500 tons, up 63.86%.

From January to June, imports were 1.1454 million tons, down 0.5% [48]. - **Scrap - to - Refined Copper Price Spread**: The weekly operating rate of recycled copper rods was 29.96%, up 0.67 percentage points from last week and 11.52 percentage points year - on - year. The average price spread between scrap and refined copper rods was $654 per ton this week, narrowing by $321. Due to weak terminal consumption, the inventory of recycled copper rod sample enterprises increased by 700 tons to 5,950 tons [51]. - **Consumption - end** - **Power and Grid Investment**: In 2024 from January to December, power investment was 1.168722 trillion yuan, up 12.14%, and grid investment was 608.258 billion yuan, up 15.26%. In 2025 from January to June, power investment was 363.5 billion yuan, up 5.9%, and grid investment was 291.1 billion yuan, up 14.6% [52]. - **Wire and Cable**: No specific data on wire and cable consumption was provided, only related charts. - **Air - conditioners**: In 2024 from January to December, air - conditioner production was 265.9844 million units, up 9.7%.

In June 2025, the completion area was 226 million square meters, down 14.3%, and new construction area was down 20%, with the "guaranteeing housing delivery" policy showing initial results [65]. Other Elements - **Inventory**: As of August 1, the total inventory of the three major exchanges was 474,000 tons, an increase of 82,900 tons. LME copper inventory increased by 48,500 tons to 141,800 tons, SHFE inventory decreased by 12,000 tons to 72,500 tons, and COMEX copper inventory increased by 46,500 tons to 259,700 tons. As of July 31, the domestic bonded - area inventory was 81,100 tons, an increase of 8,200 tons [71]. - **CFTC Non - commercial Net Position**: As of July 29, the CFTC non - commercial long net position was 37,347 contracts, an increase of 3,657 contracts. Non - commercial long positions were 74,650 contracts, with only a 25 - contract increase, and non - commercial short positions were 37,303 contracts, a decrease of 3,632 contracts [73]. - **Premium and Discount**: As of August 1, LME copper was at a spot discount of - $49.25 per ton, returning to a large - discount pattern. The domestic spot maintained a premium, but the term structure flattened, indicating weak demand. The market was in a supply - and - demand double - weak pattern, with transactions mainly for rigid demand [83]. - **Basis**: As of August 1, 2025, the basis between the Shanghai Non - ferrous 1 copper average price and the continuous third - month contract was 310 yuan per ton [85]. Strategy - Domestic copper positions remain low, and after the sharp decline of COMEX copper, most positions have left. The multi - empty game at the current price level is not intense. More attention should be paid to LME copper variables. After taking profit on the near - month short call options, it is recommended to increase far - month put option positions at low prices. In the important time window of August - September, copper prices will face downward pressure, and attention should be paid to inventory and capital flow changes [6][90].

Core Viewpoint - Pfizer is engaged in productive discussions with the Trump administration regarding drug tariffs and the "Most Favored Nations" pricing policy, with potential for lower initial tariffs and a grace period, but the specifics will ultimately determine the real impact on Pfizer and the industry [1][3][4]. Group 1: Drug Tariffs - Pfizer's CEO, Albert Bourla, indicated that ongoing negotiations may provide some buffer for the industry against high tariffs and pricing pressures [3]. - Bourla revealed that initial tariffs could be "very small" and that the President has opened a window for a grace period [3][9]. - The definition of "country of origin" for drugs is crucial, as it will affect how tariffs are applied, particularly concerning active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) [10]. Group 2: Most Favored Nations Pricing - Pfizer has received a letter from the White House requesting significant price reductions for drugs under the "Most Favored Nations" principle, aligning U.S. prices with those of other developed countries [11]. - The company is preparing for the implementation of price reductions while seeking ways to mitigate negative impacts [12]. - Bourla emphasized that the details of this policy are still under discussion, highlighting the importance of specifics in determining the policy's effects [13]. Group 3: Financial Performance - Pfizer reported strong Q2 earnings with revenue of $14.65 billion, a 10% year-over-year increase, surpassing market expectations [6]. - The adjusted earnings per share were $0.78, significantly above the expected $0.58, leading to an upward revision of the 2025 adjusted EPS guidance to a range of $2.90-$3.10 [6]. - Despite the strong performance, the revenue guidance for 2025 remains unchanged at $61-$64 billion, partly due to uncertainties regarding COVID-19 product revenues [8]. Group 4: Analyst Perspectives - Analysts from Bank of America noted that most questions during Pfizer's earnings call focused on policy impacts, particularly regarding the "Most Favored Nations" policy and drug tariffs, but many questions went unanswered [5][7]. - The uncertainty surrounding the implementation details of these policies has led to concerns about the long-term outlook for Pfizer's major businesses, especially with upcoming patent expirations and competitive threats [5][12]. - Pfizer's current valuation is relatively low compared to peers, but the long-term prospects remain uncertain due to these challenges [5].

美国国债的数字已经堆到了骇人的36万亿美元，光是每年要还的利息就超过1.4万亿。 这个无底洞每天都在吞噬着巨额财富，常规的法子显然已经失灵。 走投无路之下，特朗普把视线牢牢锁定在了美国国内最大的债主身上。 甚至，为此不惜自曝家丑！ 马斯克都带不动的"节流"大计 特朗普一上台，就摆出了大刀阔斧改革的姿态，头一件事就是"节流"。 他请来了名满天下的马斯克， 成立了一个叫DOGE的效率委员会，任务很明确，就是把政府账本翻个底朝天，把那些被滥用的钱给省下来。 马斯克带着他的团队确实干了几件实事。 他们深入调查了问题成堆的养老金系统，还手起刀落，直接关停了那个花钱不少、成效却饱受诟病的对外援助机构USDIA。 这让特朗普的支持者们看到了希望，似乎政府的财政纪律真能被重塑。 好景不长，当调查的矛头指向五角大楼和财政部这些核心部门时，一切都变了。 调查员们发现， 无论他们怎么努力，都无法撼动这些部门的预算分毫。 那里的利益盘根错节，仿佛一堵无形的墙，挡住了所有想往里看的人。 到了6月份，马斯克终于看清了形势，他意识到这根本不是一个技术问题。 在几个月的徒劳无功之后，他干脆利落地退出了这个委员会。 被寄予厚望的节流计划，就这 ...

Bessent hopes to stay in the Treasury [2] - Trump will decide whether to impose sanctions on countries that buy Russian energy after the meeting between the Middle East envoy and Russia on Wednesday [2] 3.7 Viewpoint Summary - Affected by the decline in lead prices, the operating rate of primary lead smelters increased, leading to an increase in production. Currently, the operating rate of primary lead remains strong compared to recycled lead, and its by - product revenue is stable. However, as lead prices continue to fluctuate, some primary lead smelters have adjusted their production decisions [2] - For recycled lead, due to the tight supply of waste battery raw materials, smelters lack confidence, and the overall supply is tight. From the actual resumption of production rhythm, the resumption progress is slow due to cost inversion [2] - Today, the price of 1 lead rebounded by 150 yuan/ton to 16,725 yuan/ton. The price of waste electric batteries remained stable, with prices in some enterprises in Jiangxi and Shanxi increasing by 50 yuan/ton. The tax - free price of waste electric batteries was reported at 9,900 - 9,950 yuan/ton, and the purchase price at the recycling end was reported at 9,820 - 9,880 yuan/ton, following the increase of manufacturers [2] - The lead - acid battery industry, the main consumer area of lead, is approaching the traditional peak consumption season. However, in the context of rising prices, spot transactions are dull, and downstream enterprises generally adopt a wait - and - see attitude. Although lead - acid batteries have seen price increases, the inventory clearance of dealers is slow, which greatly suppresses the enthusiasm of battery factories to start production. If the wait - and - see sentiment of downstream enterprises continues, the demand for lead in the lead - acid battery industry will hardly improve significantly, and the overall demand side will remain weak [2] - Recently, the inventory has shown a slight upward trend, and the number of warehouse receipts has also increased, indicating a slowdown in overall demand. Although the lead - acid battery industry is approaching the peak season, from the current inventory data, demand has not effectively driven inventory clearance. If the demand side still fails to pick up this week, domestic inventory may continue to accumulate, putting pressure on lead prices [2]
