Core Viewpoint - The export data from South Korea for May indicates growing concerns about the country's economic trajectory, with overall exports declining despite a surge in semiconductor exports driven by AI technology demand [1][2]. Export Performance - In May, South Korea's semiconductor exports rose by 21.2% year-on-year, reaching $13.79 billion, marking the second-highest monthly export figure on record [1]. - However, overall exports fell into negative territory, with 10 out of 15 major export categories experiencing year-on-year declines [1][2]. - Exports to the three major trading partners— the United States, China, and ASEAN— also contracted, with a slight increase in exports to the EU primarily due to a low base effect from the previous year [1]. Sector-Specific Challenges - Key sectors such as electric vehicles (EVs) and steel faced significant declines, with steel exports down 12.4% and automotive exports down 4.4% [2]. - The automotive sector, being South Korea's largest export category, saw exports to the U.S. plummet by 32% to $1.84 billion, largely due to a 25% tariff imposed by the U.S. government [2][3]. - Semiconductor shipments to China fell by 14.6%, as China increases domestic production of mid-to-low-end chips, potentially reducing reliance on South Korean exports [3]. Economic Outlook - The Korea International Trade Association predicts a 2.1% decline in total exports for the year, with automotive exports expected to drop by 8% due to stagnant demand and tariff impacts [3]. - The short-term recovery outlook appears limited amid weakened competitiveness and ongoing trade policy uncertainties [3].

Export Data and Tariff Impact - In April, China's export growth showed a marginal slowdown, with a significant decline in exports to the US, indicating the actual impact of tariff increases is becoming evident [1][10] - The export growth structure can be categorized into three scenarios: overall export slowdown with simultaneous declines in both US and non-US exports, export decline to the US but an increase in non-US exports, and a decline in US exports with overall export growth improving due to non-US exports [2][12] - Industries facing significant revenue impact due to export declines include home appliances, non-ferrous metals, light industry, machinery, and textiles [2][14] Monthly Market Review - In May, risk assets generally experienced a recovery, with A-shares showing a preference for value styles, while sectors like environmental protection, pharmaceuticals, and military industries led the gains [3][21] - The market saw a mixed performance with fluctuations in risk appetite, influenced by tariff negotiations and concerns over US debt risks [3][21] June Market Outlook and Allocation Recommendations - The market is expected to continue its oscillation with a downward shift in the central tendency, influenced by tariff expectations and policy anticipation [4][5] - The recommendation is to increase allocation in low-volatility dividend stocks, focusing on sectors like electricity, banking, and consumer goods, while also considering trading opportunities in emerging technologies such as AI and robotics [5][6]

Supply Side - PX inventory is experiencing a destocking trend entering 2025, particularly after May, driven by limited supply increments and unexpected demand performance, leading to a significant recovery in PX valuation [1] - This year is not a major maintenance year for PX, with high operating rates in Q1 and limited maintenance plans in Q2, resulting in unexpected supply losses in May due to unplanned reductions at certain facilities [1] - Domestic PX production remains stable, with over half of the capacity being integrated refining and chemical facilities launched after 2019, while imports are still 20% reliant on regions like South Korea and Japan, which lack new capacity and have lower operational stability [1] Demand Side - Demand for PX has fluctuated between reality and expectations, with PTA processing fees compressed to low levels after the Spring Festival, leading to a delay in PX destocking [2] - The escalation of US-China trade tensions initially weakened demand expectations, causing PX prices to drop to yearly lows, but a subsequent easing of tensions and strong export orders improved demand and operational rates in the downstream [2] - As of May, the recovery in PTA operating rates has continued the PX destocking trend, with improved buying intentions from PTA factories leading to a rapid recovery in PX prices [2] Future Outlook - In the short term, the recovery in PTA operating rates is expected to continue the PX destocking trend, with improved PX production profits and delayed maintenance in domestic and overseas facilities indicating that PX valuations are entering a reasonable range [3] - Long-term projections suggest that with only 3 million tons of new PX capacity expected from Yulong Petrochemical, while PTA has significant upcoming capacity additions, the domestic PX supply gap is likely to widen [3] - Although tariffs may limit terminal demand growth compared to PTA capacity growth, restricted operating levels in other Asian regions are expected to constrain import increases, indicating further improvement potential in the long-term supply-demand landscape for PX [3]

Core Viewpoint - April's profit growth is primarily driven by short-term improvements in costs and expenses, but attention is needed on potential profit decline pressures in the third quarter due to tariff disturbances [3][76]. Group 1: Profit and Revenue Analysis - In April, industrial profits increased by 0.4 percentage points year-on-year to 2.9%, mainly due to improved cost and expense pressures [3][9]. - The contribution of costs and expenses to overall profit improved, with costs contributing +2.7 percentage points and expenses +0.5 percentage points, while other losses contributed negatively [3][9]. - Actual operating revenue showed resilience, with a year-on-year decline of 1.6 percentage points to 5.5%, contributing 4.9% to overall profit growth [3][9]. Group 2: Cost Structure and Industry Performance - The overall cost rate for industrial enterprises was 86%, with a year-on-year marginal decline of 12.6 basis points [3][17]. - Downstream consumer manufacturing industries saw a cost rate increase of 59.7 basis points to 84.3%, which was significantly lower than seasonal trends [3][17]. - In contrast, the petrochemical and metallurgy chains experienced weaker cost performance, with respective cost rates rising to 86.5% and declining to 87% [3][17]. Group 3: Revenue Support from Infrastructure and Exports - Benefiting from infrastructure investment and export boosts, the coal and metallurgy chains, along with downstream consumer industries, provided significant revenue support [4][27]. - The actual revenue growth rate fell by 1.6 percentage points to 5.5%, with the petrochemical industry experiencing a notable decline of 3 percentage points to 2.1% [4][27]. - The consumer manufacturing chain maintained a relatively high revenue growth rate of 7.8%, supported by short-term export boosts [4][27]. Group 4: Future Outlook and Uncertainties - Future profit recovery remains uncertain due to potential lagging effects of tariffs and low capacity utilization in mid and downstream sectors [4][33]. - Historical data indicates that profit margins have a greater impact on profits than revenue, with current low capacity utilization keeping consumer manufacturing cost rates high [4][33]. - Previous experiences suggest that post-tariff implementation may lead to declines in asset turnover and rising fixed costs, resulting in profit growth rates declining more than revenue [4][33]. Group 5: Regular Tracking of Industrial Performance - Industrial enterprise profits showed a year-on-year increase of 0.4 percentage points, primarily due to improved profit margins [5][36]. - Revenue growth for industrial enterprises remained stable, with significant increases in the food and beverage sectors [5][50]. - Inventory growth slightly declined, indicating that terminal demand still requires further recovery [5][61].
