Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - Crude oil futures prices rose significantly on June 12 and 13, 2025, with the WTI July crude oil futures up 4.88% on the 12th, closing at $68.15 per barrel, and domestic crude oil futures hitting the daily limit on the 13th. Geopolitical tensions, supply - demand imbalances, and positive progress in Sino - US economic and trade negotiations contributed to the price increase. The subsequent rise in crude oil prices may push up inflation and increase downstream enterprise costs [3]. - For stock index futures, next week's market is expected to continue to fluctuate at a high level [6]. - Gold is still bullish, and it's only a matter of time to reach a new high. A low - buying strategy is more prudent [10][11]. - Iron ore is a strong variety in the black series, but it has been rising weakly recently and should be viewed as a volatile market [14][15]. - Glass should be viewed with a short - term volatile mindset, waiting for the effect of real - estate stimulus or major policy announcements [17][18]. - Urea prices are in a weak adjustment. When reaching the previous support area, short - position holders should be wary of a strong rebound from the long side [21]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs Crude Oil Futures - On June 12 and 13, 2025, crude oil futures prices rose significantly. Geopolitical tensions, such as the uncertainty of the US - Iran nuclear negotiation and threats of conflict, led to concerns about supply disruptions. From the supply - demand perspective, the peak travel season in the US and the peak power - consumption season in the Middle East increased demand, while the US commercial crude oil inventory decreased by 3.6 million barrels last week. Positive progress in Sino - US economic and trade negotiations also boosted prices. The price increase may push up inflation and increase downstream costs [3]. Stock Index Futures - After Israel attacked Iran, the three major A - share indexes opened lower and closed with a mid -阴线, with a slight rebound at the end. Next week, the market is expected to continue to fluctuate at a high level [6][7]. Gold - Due to Israel's surprise attack on Iran, geopolitical risks increased. The overseas gold market is approaching a new high, and Shanghai gold, although relatively weak, is also rising. Gold is still bullish, and reaching a new high is just a matter of time. A low - buying strategy is more prudent [10][11]. Iron Ore - At the end of the quarter, mines are still ramping up shipments, and iron - water production is seasonally weak, increasing the over - valuation risk of iron ore. However, the continuous decline in port inventory supports the market. It is a strong variety in the black series, but has been rising weakly recently and should be viewed as a volatile market [14][15]. Glass - There has been no significant cold - repair situation due to losses on the supply side, factory inventories are still high, and downstream deep - processing orders have weak restocking motivation. The market should be viewed with a short - term volatile mindset, waiting for the effect of real - estate stimulus or major policy announcements [17][18]. Urea - The domestic daily urea production is about 205,600 tons, with an operating rate of about 87.23%. Agricultural demand progress is slow, and downstream players are less involved. Urea prices are in a weak adjustment. When reaching the previous support area, short - position holders should be wary of a strong rebound from the long side [21].

Summary of Key Points from Conference Call Records Industry Overview - The conference call primarily discusses the impact of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, particularly the conflict between Israel and Iran, on various asset classes, especially oil and commodities [1][2][7]. Core Insights and Arguments - **Oil Price Dynamics**: Initial expectations of rising oil prices due to the Israel-Iran conflict were tempered by limited Iranian retaliation, leading to a price drop of three to four dollars after an initial spike [4]. Future oil price trends depend on the evolution of the conflict, with extreme scenarios including a full-scale war and blockade of the Strait of Hormuz being deemed unlikely [5]. A neutral expectation suggests high volatility followed by a gradual decline, while an optimistic scenario involves a softening of Iran's stance and potential agreements with the U.S. [5][6]. - **Macroeconomic Environment**: The current macroeconomic environment is uncertain, but there is a general optimism for oil prices in June due to seasonal demand returning and the realization of production increases [6]. The geopolitical premium on oil prices is expected to diminish, but prices are unlikely to return to previous lows [6][8]. - **Inflation and Interest Rates**: Geopolitical tensions are hindering the reduction of inflation expectations in the U.S., which may delay interest rate cuts until September [8]. The high-interest rate environment is expected to suppress global demand, impacting overall economic activity [8]. - **Commodity Market Pressures**: The commodity cycle appears weak, with U.S. inventory levels peaking and a decline in Chinese domestic demand expected to pressure commodity prices [3][12]. The domestic refined oil market is experiencing limited price increases, with a weak outlook for automotive demand [15]. - **Gold Market Trends**: The gold market is driven by geopolitical factors, with central banks, including the People's Bank of China, increasing gold reserves, indicating a strong price trend for gold [10]. Additional Important Insights - **Impact on Chemical Products**: The conflict is affecting the chemical sector, particularly methanol, where Iran is a major supplier to China. Any escalation in conflict could disrupt methanol shipments [17][18]. The market for polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) is facing oversupply and weak downstream demand, leading to profit compression [20]. - **Historical Context**: The current geopolitical situation is compared to past conflicts, such as the Israel-Palestine conflict, suggesting that while volatility may spike, a return to stability is likely [9]. - **Shipping and Logistics**: The conflict has not significantly impacted container shipping, with no immediate effects on major shipping routes [25]. However, the potential closure of the Strait of Hormuz could affect regional throughput, though the probability remains low [26]. - **Market Sentiment and Strategy**: The overall sentiment in the market is cautious, with a focus on monitoring geopolitical developments closely. Strategies may need to be adjusted based on the evolving situation, particularly in the oil and chemical markets [23][28]. This summary encapsulates the key points discussed in the conference call, highlighting the implications of the Middle East conflict on various sectors and the broader economic landscape.

广发宏观周度述评（第18期） 广发宏观周度述评（第1-17期，复盘必读） 内容 第一， 严格账期是"反内卷"的第一步。 从实际增长来说，"924"以来的宏观经济政策已有明显成效，GDP同比已从2024年三季度低点的4.6%重新回升至5%以 上。这意味着后续更多政策可能会更集中于解决名义增长问题。所以今年二季度以来，我们看到政策关于"反内卷"的信号显著升温。 主要行业中，哪些"反内卷"的问题最为紧迫？我们理解包括钢铁（前5个月PPI同比-10.0%）、煤炭（前5个月PPI同比-14.1%）、光伏（电气机械行业前5个月 PPI同比-1.5%）、汽车（前5个月PPI同比-3.2%）等。 上周起，多家汽车企业相继宣布将供应商账期控制在60天以内[1]。 我们理解这一举动一则有助于产业链中小企业现金流的改善，有助于稳市场主体、稳就业；二则它实际上是"反内卷"的重要组成部分。 账期长意味着生产企业对于供应链企业资金存在额外的占用时间，客观上相当于微观层面叠加一层加杠杆。汽车行业严格账期相当于强制整车企业微观去杠杆，从 而可以显著降低企业价格"内卷"的能力。 严格账期只是"反内卷"的开始，基于行业数据特征，我们估计后续政策 ...

宏观不变，股市不改！ 在本周我进行过一次试仓香港，但是在进去之后，它没有走出来该有的样子，所以在次日便下结论，市场还是涨不起来，不会走出趋势。 其实，市场对今后还是有期待的，但是上方压力还是太大，这就意味着，这一场横盘的调整，还未结束… 大家好，我是老丁 看一下本周整体的大盘情况，本周上证指数下跌0.25%，创业板指上涨0.21%，恒生科技指数下跌0.89%，恒生指数上涨0.42%，纳斯达克上涨0.68（截止 周五盘前）。 现在各个市场都还是很值得说一说的，因为局势有可能距离临界点越来越近了！临界点就是要么上涨，要么下跌，在美股、商品、A股中的个别板块都开 始有逐渐的显现。 A股港股在本周都是冲高回落的状态（如图），表现出有所疲软，但其实它往下跌也跌不下去多少，我们能看到横盘的这个上下范围区间，开始越来越窄 了。这对于行情来说，其实算是一件好事，横盘的区间越来越窄，后续往往是市场开始有方向的一个前兆。 盘面还有一个现象，就是美股在昨天出现了巨量的放量，资金在这阶段也遇到了分歧。中国股市、美国股市都逼近了要重新选择方向的时期，越来越近 了。 核心观点和我前两天发的朋友圈是一个意思，就是说，当下中国并没有复苏的迹 ...

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. 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 May ISM manufacturing and services PMIs were below expectations. Despite recent weak economic data, the better - than - expected May non - farm payrolls and wage growth reduced market expectations of a Fed rate cut. It is expected that the Fed will keep the benchmark overnight rate in the 4.25% - 4.50% range in June [6]. - Domestic macro: Current policies remain stable, and in the short term, existing policies will be fully utilized. Domestic manufacturing enterprise profits are expected to maintain resilience, but export and price data may face pressure. 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 is expected to gradually narrow its short - term adjustment range and 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]. 3.
