Core Insights - The report highlights the complexity of the external economic landscape in 2026, focusing on three main issues: persistent geopolitical conflicts, political conservatism in major economies leading to trade frictions, and the complexities of monetary policy [3][4]. Geopolitical Conflicts - Ongoing geopolitical tensions, such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Israel-Palestine situation, present structural pressures that may lead to increased volatility in the global economy [3]. - Key geopolitical risk points include the Taiwan Strait, South China Sea, and the Korean Peninsula, which contribute to a non-linear economic outlook [3]. Political Conservatism and Trade Frictions - The rise of conservative governments in major economies like the U.S. and Japan is shifting policies towards economic security and nationalism, resulting in ongoing trade policy uncertainties [3][4]. - The restructuring of global supply chains is deepening, moving towards a "China + N" model, which may impact trade dynamics significantly [3]. Monetary Policy Dynamics - The Federal Reserve is expected to continue a cautious approach to interest rate cuts, with two additional cuts anticipated in 2025 and 1-2 cuts in 2026, which may lower financing costs but also face constraints from structural inflation driven by geopolitical and trade issues [3][4]. Global Economic Growth Outlook - The global economic growth rate is projected to remain around 3%, with emerging markets being the primary growth drivers due to "de-risking" and "friend-shoring" investments [4]. - Developed economies are expected to experience moderate growth, with the U.S. economy supported by interest rate cuts and fiscal stimulus, while Japan and the EU maintain stable growth [4]. Impact on China - Specific external variables, particularly U.S. policies, are expected to impact China's trade and technology sectors, with tariffs likely to remain at a normalized level of around 30% [4][5]. - China's exports may face disruptions from both U.S. and non-U.S. markets, with potential impacts on overall export scale estimated at 3.0% under moderate scenarios and up to 10.6% in extreme cases [5]. Opportunities and Challenges for China - External pressures may accelerate China's progress towards technological self-sufficiency and high-end manufacturing [5]. - However, challenges include normalized tariffs, increased trade barriers, and the risk of de-Chinaization in global supply chains, alongside the pressures of technological restrictions [5].

中国在十月九日出手了，商务部那纸公告像一记闷锤砸在全球高科产业的桌面上，空气里立刻多了股焦 灼味。 公告说了，任何想把特定稀土物项从境外再卖到别处的组织或个人，都得先拿中国商务部的两用物项出 口许可证，这话像条长臂，伸得远又硬。 条文里有一句话很直白，若用途涉及研发、生产十四纳米及以下逻辑芯片，或二百五十六层以上存储芯 片，审批要逐案来，像是把通路的闸门一扇一扇地关上。 还写着，卖给境外军事用户的，原则上不批准，这段话像针，扎在那些与军工相关的供需链上，刺痛感 不是虚的。 更奇怪的，是管控不只盯着"产地在中国"的稀土，还盯着"含有中国原产稀土且在境外制造"的品项，也 盯着"使用中国稀土技术在境外生产"的物项，这规矩的网织得极细。 全球稀土加工能力的数据摆在那儿，报道说中国掌控约九十一个百分点额的加工能力，数字像块石头， 砸在依赖者的脚上，动不得也疼。 欧洲那边的情况也很清楚，欧盟磁体链中九十八个百分点的进口来自中国，德国每年与稀土金属相关进 口额直逼七百亿欧元，这些数字像账单，翻开就看得见崩塌的边缘。 美国依赖同样明显，八成以上稀土需求靠进口，七成来自中国，国防用途在美稀土消费占比高达三十五 个百分点，这种比 ...

Core Viewpoint - The announcement by President Trump on July 30 aims to impose a 50% tariff on certain copper imports to address national security concerns, but the impact on U.S. copper imports is less than market expectations, with a significant portion of copper imported before the tariff implementation being exempt from these tariffs [1][3]. Group 1: Tariff Details - The announcement imposes a 50% tariff on copper semi-finished products and copper-intensive derivative products, effective from August 1 [2]. - Copper raw materials and scrap are exempt from the 232 tariffs, and these tariffs do not overlap with automotive tariffs [2]. - The tariffs apply based on the copper content in products, while non-copper content is subject to other applicable tariffs [2]. Group 2: Import Impact - The copper tariff is expected to have limited impact, as the majority of U.S. copper imports come from countries like Chile (33.6%), Canada (30.4%), and Mexico (7.6%) [3]. - In the first half of 2025, U.S. companies have already imported more copper than the total for 2024, with 74.3% of this copper being exempt from tariffs [3]. Group 3: China's Role - The products affected by the copper tariffs from China represent a small portion of overall U.S. imports, with less than 5% of imports from China in 2024 [4]. Group 4: Industry Restructuring - The announcement requires that 25% of copper raw materials produced in the U.S. be sold domestically, increasing to 40% by 2029, which aims to enhance U.S. smelting capacity [5]. - There are ongoing investments in U.S. processing capacity, such as a $500 million investment by Wieland Rolled Products in Illinois [5]. - The restructuring of the copper industry is expected to take a long time due to the current weaknesses in U.S. smelting capacity [5]. Group 5: Price Dynamics - The absence of restrictions on copper raw materials is expected to lead to a return to supply-demand pricing for copper, with increased exports to regions outside the U.S. [6]. - The current market conditions indicate that LME copper prices will be influenced by supply and demand factors, particularly as U.S. imports have already surpassed last year's total [6].
