来源：市场资讯 （2025 年伦敦金属交易所各类金属相对表现） 关税扰动进一步加剧了不同金属品种面临的供应风险差异，也解释了今年各类金属价格走势分化显著的 原因。 ——铜博士的 "双重面孔" 本月，伦敦金属交易所三个月期铜价格持续刷新历史高点，向每吨 12,000 美元关口发起冲击。 （来源：要钢网） 供应中断与贸易关税引发的市场重构，成为定义今年伦敦金属交易所（LME）基本金属市场格局的核 心主题。 尽管市场需求面难言乐观，但供应链承压仍推动涵盖六种基本金属期货合约的伦敦金属交易所指数攀升 至 2022 年历史峰值以来的最高水平。2022 年正是俄乌冲突爆发的年份。 今年市场的动荡则源于另一重因素 —— 全球市场正艰难应对美国前总统唐纳德・特朗普政府反复无常 的关税政策。 金融市场虽已从 4 月 "关税新政发布日" 引发的暴跌中企稳，但美国针对铝产品的定向关税，以及拟对 铜产品加征关税的潜在威胁，正引发全球金属贸易格局的结构性剧变。 芝加哥商品交易所（CME）的美国铜期货合约价格走势更为强劲，其定价已计入精炼铜进口可能加征 关税的预期。特朗普政府虽已将相关决议推迟至明年年中，但事实证明，关税威胁本身对市场造 ...

Group 1: Core Logic Supporting Gold Prices - The increasing fiscal situation in the U.S. is a fundamental factor supporting gold prices, with the potential addition of $3.4 trillion in debt over the next decade due to the "Build Back Better" plan, and a debt ceiling increase of $5 trillion, exacerbating the current $36.2 trillion debt level [3][6] - The dual accumulation of fiscal and political risks has triggered a global capital reallocation, influenced by the rising political atmosphere following Musk's announcement of forming the "American Party" [3][6] Group 2: Trade Frictions and Policy Volatility - Trump's trade policies, including a recent 50% tariff on copper imports, have stirred market sentiment and raised concerns about global economic slowdown, leading to increased inflows of safe-haven funds into the gold market [7][9] - The uncertainty in trade policies is impacting consumer confidence and business investment, prompting a reallocation of global capital away from U.S. assets towards gold as an alternative safe-haven [9] Group 3: Federal Reserve Policies and Interest Rate Dynamics - The traditional inverse relationship between interest rates and gold prices is being restructured, as gold prices have risen despite actual U.S. interest rates exceeding 2% [10][13] - Market expectations regarding the Federal Reserve's potential shift in policy, including possible interest rate cuts due to inflation concerns, are contributing to the current dynamics where both gold and interest rates may rise simultaneously [10][13] Group 4: Central Bank Gold Purchases and Market Structure - Continuous gold purchases by central banks, particularly in emerging markets, are becoming a significant support for gold prices, driven by motives such as diversification of foreign exchange reserves and hedging against geopolitical risks [13] - The shift in demand from private investors to official institutions marks a structural change in the gold market, reflecting a trend of "de-dollarization" in response to U.S. fiscal deficits [13] Group 5: Short-term Volatility and Long-term Trends - Short-term fluctuations in gold prices are influenced by technical and sentiment factors, with current prices nearing key resistance levels around $3,335 per ounce [14] - Long-term drivers for gold remain rooted in structural uncertainties in the global economy and politics, including ongoing U.S. fiscal deficits and fluctuating trade policies, reinforcing gold's role as a "backup safe-haven asset" [17]

Core Points - The U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) announced the results of the 301 investigation into China's shipping, logistics, and shipbuilding industries, detailing new fee structures for Chinese shipping companies and vessels built in China [1][3]. Implementation Details - The implementation of the new measures will occur in two phases: the first phase will take effect in 180 days, imposing fees on Chinese shipowners and operators, as well as on non-U.S. shipping companies using vessels built in China. The fee structure will vary based on the type of vessel, calculated by net tonnage, with a maximum of five charges per year [3][4]. - The second phase, effective in three years, will impose fees on non-U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) vessels docking at U.S. ports, with rates increasing annually. The latest version of the proposal includes a 180-day buffer and narrows the scope of applicable vessels, enhancing the focus on China [4][5]. Industry Reactions - Industry leaders, such as Andrew Abbott, CEO of Atlantic Container Line (ACL), have expressed strong opposition to the legislation, indicating that it could force their company to exit the U.S. market due to the predominance of Chinese-built vessels in their fleet [5][6]. - Despite ACL's unique situation, the overall share of Chinese-built vessels in the global fleet is relatively low, with only 23% of the current fleet being constructed in China [6][7]. Market Statistics - According to Clarkson's data, Chinese-built container ships account for 39% of the global container fleet, while the order book for container ships in 2024 shows China with a 69% share, indicating a significant increase in new orders [7][9]. - The U.S. container shipping market exports approximately 13.9 million TEUs annually and imports 34 million TEUs, representing about 22.5% of global container shipping trade [12]. Cost Implications - If the new fees are implemented, the cost per container for routes from the U.S. West Coast could increase by $450 to $550, while East Coast routes may see increases of $200 to $300, representing significant percentages of current freight rates [13][17]. - Historical trends suggest that shipping companies are likely to pass these additional costs onto consumers, potentially leading to a market environment similar to that experienced during the pandemic [17]. Comparative Analysis - The U.S. container shipping market's dynamics are compared to the Russian market, which has faced similar external pressures. The U.S. market is expected to maintain supply levels, unlike the drastic changes seen in Russia following the Ukraine conflict [19][21]. - The differences in market size and operational structures between the U.S. and Russia highlight the potential for U.S. shipping companies to adapt rather than exit the market entirely [20][23]. Strategic Opportunities - The 301 legislation may inadvertently create strategic opportunities for Chinese shipping and shipbuilding industries, as market gaps left by exiting foreign companies could be filled by domestic firms [35][36]. - The potential restructuring of the U.S. shipping market could lead to increased market share for Chinese companies, particularly in logistics and shipping services [38][39]. Regulatory Implications - The legislation highlights the inefficacy of current international shipping governance systems, as it may lead to a decrease in the competitiveness of Chinese-built vessels in the global market [40][41]. - China is encouraged to develop its own regulatory framework to counteract the effects of the U.S. legislation, focusing on establishing standards that could enhance its competitive position in the shipping and shipbuilding sectors [43][44].
