Group 1: Market Trends and Economic Indicators - The dollar index experienced a significant decline of over 10% in the first half of the year due to a series of unpredictable policies from the Trump administration, but rebounded in July with a monthly increase of over 3% [2][3] - Positive economic data in July, including a robust labor market, stable inflation, and a 3% increase in Q2 GDP, contributed to the dollar's rebound despite the actual economic situation being less optimistic [3] - The Federal Reserve's hawkish stance, as indicated by Powell's refusal to yield to pressure for rate cuts, has led to a decrease in market expectations for future rate cuts [4] Group 2: Tariff Policies and Fiscal Impact - The U.S. tariff revenue surged to $16 billion in April, marking a 130% year-on-year increase, with subsequent months also showing record high revenues [6] - Despite the increase in tariff revenue, the overall fiscal improvement in June was primarily due to a reduction in expenditures rather than increased revenue, highlighting the limitations of tariff policies [7] - The trade deficit did not show substantial improvement, as the reduction in imports was not due to a manufacturing rebound but rather a decrease in consumer and business demand [7][8] Group 3: Employment Data and Economic Outlook - The release of disappointing non-farm payroll data in August, with only 73,000 new jobs added, raised concerns about the labor market and led to speculation about potential rate cuts by the Federal Reserve [9][10] - The accuracy of the non-farm payroll data has been questioned due to a significant drop in survey response rates, which may have contributed to frequent revisions of employment figures [9][10] - The outlook for the dollar index suggests continued volatility below the 100 mark, with potential support from large-scale fiscal stimulus measures planned by the Trump administration [11][12]

Core Viewpoint - The recent strengthening of the US dollar index is attributed to higher-than-expected US CPI data, which reduces the likelihood of a Federal Reserve rate cut in September. This has led to a mixed performance of the Chinese yuan against the dollar, with the yuan's middle rate reaching a low of 7.1461, while the spot trading price has shown a depreciation trend [1][5][10]. Group 1: US Dollar and Economic Indicators - The US dollar index has seen a continuous rise, with a cumulative increase of over 2% as of July 17, marking the longest upward trend this year [1]. - The US June CPI data exceeded expectations, with core inflation at 2.9%, which is still above the Federal Reserve's target of 2% [5][6]. - The likelihood of a rate cut in September has decreased, with current market pricing showing only a 53.5% chance of a cut, down from 59.3% [5]. Group 2: Impact on Chinese Yuan - The Chinese yuan has shown signs of weakness against the dollar, with a depreciation of over 200 points in recent days, despite the middle rate signaling stability [1][10]. - The yuan's middle rate has deviated from model predictions by nearly -240 points, indicating a potential adjustment to strengthen the yuan [10]. - The future exchange rate of USD/CNY is expected to follow the dollar index's movements, but the depreciation of the yuan may be less pronounced, with estimates suggesting a 1:5 ratio of dollar index strength to yuan depreciation [11]. Group 3: Tariff Effects and Inflation - The impact of tariffs is beginning to show, with significant price increases in home goods and appliances, which are key categories affected by tariffs [6][7]. - There is a concern that as inventory levels deplete, inflation may rise due to the need for businesses to restock, potentially leading to cost pass-through to consumers [8]. - Labor shortages in key industries due to immigration policies may also contribute to upward wage pressures, further influencing inflation [8]. Group 4: Future Outlook and Risks - The uncertainty surrounding tariffs remains high, with potential for increased actions from the Trump administration as tariff revenues rise [12]. - Concerns exist regarding the sustainability of the US fiscal policy, with expectations that the costs of new fiscal stimulus may outweigh its economic benefits [13]. - The forecast for US 10-year Treasury yields is projected to reach 4.9% in Q4, influenced by ongoing budget deficits and market volatility [13].

Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that the Federal Reserve is unlikely to lower interest rates in July despite pressure from President Trump, as recent inflation data does not support a rate cut [2][5]. - The Consumer Price Index (CPI) for June increased by 2.7% year-on-year, the highest since February, slightly exceeding expectations of 2.6% [2]. - The core CPI rose by 2.9% year-on-year, meeting expectations but showing a month-on-month increase of only 0.2%, which is below the expected 0.3% [6]. Group 2 - The probability of the Federal Reserve maintaining interest rates in July is 97.4%, while the chance of a 25 basis point cut is only 2.6% [4]. - President Trump has called for an immediate reduction of the federal funds rate by 300 basis points, arguing that inflation is very low [5]. - The recent CPI data has accelerated the rebound of the US dollar index, with an initial target for this rebound expected to test the 99.50-100 range [8].

Group 1 - The core viewpoint indicates that gold prices are experiencing a downward trend, currently at $3284.47 per ounce, with a decline of 0.51% [1] - The recent rebound of the US dollar index is limiting the bullish momentum for gold, as the market is under strong resistance [1] - The extension of the tariff agreement by Trump until August 1 has provided temporary relief to the market, but the long-term macro pressures on the dollar remain significant, including rising public debt and deficit concerns [2] Group 2 - The market is closely monitoring the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting minutes, as a dovish tone could lead to a depreciation of the dollar and support for gold prices [2] - Technical analysis suggests that gold prices are currently fluctuating, with key support at $3280 and resistance around $3335; a break below $3297 could lead to further declines [4] - If geopolitical risks escalate or negotiations fail, the dollar's support may be short-lived, leading to a renewed focus on gold [2]

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core Views - **Copper**: The price of Shanghai copper declined in the afternoon.
