Group 1 - The article discusses the historical turning point of globalization, highlighted by the U.S. proposal for "reciprocal tariffs," which reflects a significant trade deficit and domestic demand issues in the U.S. and a mirrored situation in China with excess production capacity and insufficient domestic demand [2][8][67] - The U.S. has proposed a 10% tariff on all countries, with an additional 34% tariff specifically on China, indicating a strategic move to address trade imbalances [4][68] - The rapid escalation of tariffs between the U.S. and China, reaching as high as 125%, signifies a volatile trade relationship that has substantial implications for global economic dynamics [6][11] Group 2 - The article emphasizes the need for a macroeconomic perspective to understand the complexities of trade relations, arguing that microeconomic experiences cannot adequately inform macroeconomic policies [10][12][20] - It highlights the importance of recognizing the interconnectedness of economic variables, where government spending can influence overall economic health and consumer behavior [52][56] - The analysis points out that the U.S. trade deficit is fundamentally linked to its domestic demand exceeding production capacity, necessitating imports to meet consumption needs [74][90][93] Group 3 - The article outlines the implications of the U.S. dollar's status as the world's primary reserve currency, which allows the U.S. to maintain high levels of trade deficits without immediate repercussions [106][110] - It discusses the potential consequences of the U.S. pursuing a policy of reciprocal tariffs, which may lead to reduced dollar outflows and impact the country's ability to sustain its debt levels [153][159] - The article suggests that the U.S. may face significant challenges in maintaining its economic model if it continues down the path of protectionism, potentially leading to a debt crisis [161][162] Group 4 - The article posits that China's economic strategy must adapt in response to the U.S. shift towards protectionism, emphasizing the need to boost domestic demand to mitigate reliance on exports [139][141] - It argues that if China can effectively stimulate internal consumption and investment, it could enhance its position in the global economy amidst changing trade dynamics [142][146] - The analysis concludes that the future of globalization will depend significantly on China's policy choices and its ability to navigate the challenges posed by U.S. trade policies [165][168]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core Views - The results of the second Sino-US meeting were not significant. The US initiated new home appliance tariff policies and restrictions on key chip equipment. With the 90-day exemption period for various countries ending soon, there is a risk of tariffs impacting the market again in the next two weeks. It's necessary to guard against Trump's potential extreme pressure, similar to the situation in 2018. The domestic economy is entering a seasonal recovery window, and potential macroeconomic positives from the Politburo meeting in late June - July should be watched [4]. - The real estate sales are seasonally recovering from a low level, but the peak season is not booming. The service industry shows structural differentiation and a slight decline from its high level. In May, production and investment in the real economy declined, while consumption took the lead with the boost of fiscal subsidies. The logic of manufacturing rush exports continues, the domestic supply - demand contradiction is marginally cooling, and prices are expected to oscillate upwards. Attention should be paid to whether fiscal policy will further support the economic center in the second half of the year [4]. - Domestic liquidity is generally loose, and overseas liquidity is also tending to be loose due to the Fed's dovish guidance and declining economic data. Financial conditions have significantly improved. Coupled with the expected rebound of the US dollar index, the domestic stock market will receive incremental funds, with inflows from passive ETFs and margin trading funds, while IPO and other equity financing and unlocking pressures remain [4]. - After a short - term rebound, the valuations of various indices are still at a relatively high level in the historical neutral range. The stock - bond risk premiums at home and abroad are low, and the attractiveness of allocation funds is average [4]. - The pressure on the macro and industrial fundamentals is facing a marginal reversal, financial conditions are generally loose, and the valuations of broad - based index markets are generally not cheap. Coupled with the expected return of US tariff policy pressure, the stock market's upward path in the third quarter may be characterized by frequent setbacks, with an overall oscillatory upward trend. Policy - level macro expectations, excessive domestic liquidity, and the support of stable funds will support the lower limit of the stock market adjustment. It is recommended to actively go long on stock index futures during sharp declines in July. In terms of style, first go long on IC and IM, then on IF and IH, or conduct an arbitrage strategy of going long on IM and short on IF [4]. Summary by Directory 1.

The debt financing demand in the bond market remained high, driven by the joint efforts of national bonds, local government bonds, and corporate debt financing [30]. - **Fund Price**: Last month, DR007, R001, and SHIBOR overnight rates changed by 3.2bp, - 12.6bp, and - 10bp respectively, reaching 1.7%, 1.44%, and 1.37%.

The credit spread between national bonds and policy - bank bonds widened at the short - end [37]. - **Sino - US Interest Rate Spread**: In June, the yield of the US 10 - year Treasury bond changed by - 14.0bp to 4.29%, the inflation expectation changed by - 3.0bp to 2.29%, and the real interest rate changed by - 11.0bp to 2.00%.

The US dollar - RMB exchange rate oscillated around the central level of the past three - year range [40] 4. Macroeconomic Fundamentals - **Real Estate Demand**: As of June 26, the weekly trading area of commercial housing in 30 large - and medium - sized cities was 2.928 million square meters, a seasonal increase from 2.021 million square meters of the previous week, but at a relatively low level compared to the same period. Compared with the same period in 2019 before the pandemic, it decreased by 32.1%. Second - hand housing sales declined seasonally, with a slight month - on - month decrease, at a relatively low level in the past seven years. The high - frequency sales trends of new and second - hand housing in the real estate market diverged last month, with new housing recovering but second - hand housing falling back to a low level. Overall, the real estate market remained weak, and the pulse effect of the new real estate policies faded. The overall sales center of the real estate market returned to a low level, and more incremental policies were awaited for boosting [43] - **Service Industry Activity**: As of June 27, the weekly average daily passenger volume of the subway in 28 large - and medium - sized cities remained at a high level, reaching 81.26 million person - times, an increase of 1.8% compared to the same period last year and 32.5% compared to the same period in 2021. The economic activity in the service industry declined seasonally from a high level. The Baidu congestion delay index of 100 cities rebounded compared to the previous week, at a neutral level in the past three years.

Overall, the domestic demand trend in the manufacturing industry rebounded, while the external demand was weak [51] - **Cargo Flow**: Both cargo and passenger flows remained at relatively high levels. The postal express industry dominated by e - commerce and the civil aviation flight guarantee sector dominated by tourism consumption showed strong growth, with continuous weekly increases. The highway and railway transportation were relatively weak, with limited growth rates. Attention should be paid to the potential seasonal decline risk from July to August [56] - **Import and Export**: In terms of exports, the logic of rush exports after the Sino - US trade talks continued to play out. The port cargo throughput and container throughput rebounded after a short - term decline. From July to August, the risk of a second decline after the end of the 90 - day exemption period and the resurgence of tariff frictions should be guarded against [59] - **Overseas Situation**: In May, the US PCE inflation rebounded slightly, with the core PCE reaching 2.68%, an increase of 0.1% from the previous month. Structurally, it was mainly due to the significant rebound in the food and commodity sectors, which began to be affected by tariffs. The service and market - based sub - items rebounded slightly, and the decline of the energy sub - item narrowed, with the month - on - month growth rate returning to 0.2%. Assuming the tariff impact continues for the next three months with a 0.2% month - on - month growth rate, the annualized month - on - month rate is expected to rebound to 2.43%, still below the 2.5% level, providing data support for the Fed's interest - rate cut. Fed Chairman Powell sent a dovish signal during the Senate and House hearings. Coupled with the significant downward revision of the US GDP in the first quarter and the significant decline in residents' PCE income and consumption in May, the financial market began to optimistically revise its expectations for the Fed's interest - rate path. According to the CME's FedWatch tool, the market expects the number of interest - rate cuts in 2025 to increase to 3 times, with a cut range of about 50 - 75bp. The expected interest - rate cut times are in September, October, and December. The probability of an interest - rate cut in July rebounded to 18%, and the probability in September increased significantly. The terminal interest rate after the interest - rate cuts within the year is expected to be in the range of 3.5% - 3.75% [61][65] 5.

The valuations of the Shanghai 50, CSI 300, CSI 500, and CSI 1000 indices were at the 77.4%, 68.4%, 75.8%, and 59.1% quantiles of the past five years respectively, with relatively high valuation levels. The valuation quantiles changed by 8.8%, 14.9%, - 0.7%, and - 4.6% respectively compared to the previous month, indicating a marginal slight increase in the attractiveness of small - cap stocks and a marginal significant decrease in the attractiveness of large - cap stocks [68][73] - **Quantitative Diagnosis**: According to the seasonal pattern analysis, the stock market is in a period of seasonal oscillatory rise and structural differentiation in July. Growth stocks are relatively dominant in style, and the cyclical style first rises and then falls. Generally, the stock market tends to rise in July. Attention should be paid to the opportunities of going long on IC and IM during corrections, short - term trading on IF and IH after sharp rises, and medium - term long - term trading on IF and IH after sharp declines [76]
