Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Overseas macro: The adverse impact of Trump's tariff policies on US imports and factory orders in April has emerged, and the influence on demand and inflation continued to show in May. Despite recent weak economic data, the better - than - expected May non - farm payrolls and hourly wage growth have boosted market confidence. It is expected that the Fed will keep the benchmark overnight interest rate unchanged in June [6]. - Domestic macro: Current policies maintain stability, focusing on utilizing existing resources in the short term. Domestic manufacturing enterprise profits are expected to remain resilient, but export and price data may face pressure due to trade policy uncertainties. Attention should be paid to "rush re - export" and "rush export" progress and the July Politburo meeting [6]. - Asset views: For major asset classes, maintain the view of more hedging and volatility overseas and a structured market in China. Strategically allocate gold and non - US dollar assets. Gold's short - term adjustment may narrow, and its price is expected to rise in the medium - to - long term. Bonds are still worth allocating after the capital pressure eases. Stocks and commodities will return to fundamental logic, showing short - term range - bound fluctuations [6]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Macro Essentials - **Overseas**: The adverse effects of Trump's tariff policies on US imports and factory orders in April are evident.
