Group 1 - The postponement of the "2+2" tariff negotiations between South Korea and the U.S. adds uncertainty to the already tense South Korea-U.S. relations, highlighting South Korea's difficult position in the complex international landscape [1] - South Korea is under pressure due to the U.S. imposing a tariff deadline of August 1, with the country eager to avoid a 25% comprehensive tariff, especially as Japan has already reached a tariff agreement with the U.S. [1] - South Korea has set two "red lines" in negotiations: not opening the rice and beef markets, as its grain self-sufficiency rate is low, with only 19.5% from 2021 to 2023, and zero self-sufficiency in wheat and corn [1] Group 2 - In 2024, South Korea imported $2.22 billion worth of U.S. beef, making it a major importer, but the U.S. is pushing to lift the ban on U.S. beef imports over 30 months, facing strong opposition from the South Korean agricultural sector [3] - South Korea's recent diplomatic interactions with the U.S. have seen multiple cancellations of meetings, indicating U.S. dissatisfaction with South Korea's proposals and an attempt to assert dominance in the bilateral relationship [3] Group 3 - On July 25, South Korea's Ministry of Trade announced a request for anti-dumping duties of 28.16% to 33.57% on carbon steel and hot-rolled steel from China, which raises questions about its timing amid ongoing U.S. tariff negotiations [5] - This anti-dumping investigation was initiated earlier in the year, but its announcement during critical negotiations suggests a strategic move to appease the U.S. while deflecting responsibility from the current government [5] Group 4 - South Korea is navigating a complex geopolitical environment, heavily reliant on U.S. military protection while also depending on China as its largest trading partner, with trade volumes exceeding $300 billion in 2024 [6] - The current administration appears to be leaning towards the U.S., as evidenced by recent actions such as rejecting China's invitation to a military parade and imposing tariffs on Chinese steel, signaling a shift in diplomatic posture [8] Group 5 - Over-reliance on the U.S. could jeopardize South Korea's relationship with China, which is crucial for its economic development, as many industries depend on Chinese raw materials [8] - The imposition of tariffs on Chinese steel may lead to increased costs for South Korean industries, potentially escalating trade tensions and undermining established economic cooperation [8]

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the articles highlights the recent trade agreement between the US and EU, which aims to avoid a large-scale trade war by imposing a 15% tariff on most European goods, significantly lower than the previously threatened 30% [1] - The agreement is set to take effect on August 1 and is seen as a crucial step in preventing a global trade war, with the EU planning to invest approximately $600 billion in the US and increase purchases of energy and military equipment [1] - Market strategist Michael Brown indicates that the trade agreement is likely to enhance market risk appetite and strengthen the euro against the dollar, suggesting significant upward potential for the euro's exchange rate [1] Group 2 - From a technical perspective, the EUR/USD pair is currently operating within an upward channel, with MACD above the zero line and RSI above 50, indicating a continuation of the upward trend [2] - Today's focus for the euro's movement is on the resistance level around 1.1850, while support is noted near 1.1650 [2]

就在不久前，美国总统特朗普已经公开表示，美国将不再跟大多数国家一一谈判，而是会对世界上绝大部分国家直接征收最低15%的简单关税。另外，美国 有媒体也曝料称，对多数欧洲的产品，美国将征收15%的关税。相信大家都还记得，前些天特朗普威胁欧盟时，说的可是50%的关税。由此可见，特朗普当 局也准备在对欧洲的贸易谈判之中做出让步。 近期，欧盟的两位重量级人物，冯德莱恩和科斯塔已经结伴访华，并在不久前抵京与中方会面，这一消息顿时在西方乃至全球引起了广泛关注。值得注意的 是，就在24日上午，这两人还已经得到了中方高层的接见。 我们知道，中欧双方其实在当前各方比较关注的贸易和关税问题上是存在一些分歧的。但是，中欧双方尽管存在分歧，却依然能够进行沟通和接触，这本身 就具有相当的积极意义。这一方面说明，中欧双方其实都有加强合作，改善关系的意愿，另一方面，欧洲此番主动不远千里来华与中方沟通，说明了欧方在 与中方加强合作的一事上确实有些着急。 就在中欧加强合作的关键时刻，美国方面也传来了重磅消息，从这些消息上看，美国总统特朗普似乎有在关税战一事上收手的意思。 特朗普的让步，有可能与当前中欧双方的接触有关。毕竟，欧盟也是一个具有强大实 ...

在致同国际近期推出的2025年《国际商业报告》（IBR）"全球趋势洞察"系列首篇中，我们聚焦关税政策对中端市场企业（Mid- Market）的深度影响。2025年初市场乐观指数的下滑，预示着更复杂的挑战正在酝酿。 进入2025年，贸易摩擦升级导致企业信心遭遇两年首降——乐观指数骤降2.9个百分点至72.7%，第二季度再度下滑至71%。值得注意的 是，尽管风险预警信号显现，中端市场企业依托战略前瞻性与运营敏捷性构筑的基本面依然稳固。 面对传统出口市场的结构性变化，企业亟需认识到，新型贸易关系将重构增长曲线。这要求企业需要比以往更具战略眼光，既要深化本 地市场价值挖掘，也要构建区域化业务矩阵。 中端市场企业具备穿越周期的基因，他们曾成功抵御全球金融危机，化解疫情带来的广泛冲击，并适应了多轮地缘政治导致的供应中 断。 但当前关税引发的市场重构存在本质差异，堪称前所未有——过往危机中，企业可依托非本土业务组合对冲风险，在动荡中谋求发展； 而现行关税政策正在压缩这一战略空间，迫使企业重新界定可触达市场，并调整商业模式。关键应对策略应包括：风险敞口管理、供应 链弹性建设、基于新兴市场机会的产品价值重估。 本轮关税政策动荡 ...

越南提到正在积极推进国内程序，以加入多方临时上诉安排 (MPIA)。 美国再次否决了在世贸组织（WTO）恢复争端解决机制下上诉机构法官甄选程序的提案。 第一财经记者从权威信源处获悉，在近期举行的WTO争端解决例会上，哥伦比亚代表130个成员方发 言，第89次提出关于启动上诉机构空缺成员遴选程序的提案。 哥伦比亚代表表示，提交该提案的成员国数量众多，反映了各国对上诉机构运作的共同利益，更广泛地 说，是对WTO争端解决机制运作的共同利益。 美方则再次否决了该提案。 与此同时，在当天会议上，越南提到正在积极推进国内程序，以加入多方临时上诉安排 (MPIA)。MPIA 是在上诉机构停摆期间的临时措施，最终目标仍是启动上诉机构成员遴选，恢复上诉机构正常运转。 美国第89次否决该提案 如前所述，美国代表再次表示不支持上述提案，并表示其长期以来对WTO争端解决机制的担忧，称这 种担忧在美国历届政府中都持续存在。 美国代表重申，将反思在多大程度上能够实现WTO争端解决机制的改革。 27个成员方也在会议上再次发言，重申其支持该联合提案，并强调恢复全面运作的争端解决机制的迫切 需要。 哥伦比亚代表130个成员表示，对于第89次未 ...

你有没有想过，全球经济这么复杂的今天，关税竟然能被买下？听着像是科幻小说里的情节，但这是真的，尤其发生在日本身上。 从另一面看，这也反映出美国在全球贸易中的霸权地位依然牢不可破。在国际关系中，美国能通过这种交易来最大化自己的利益，同时让其他 国家为此付出巨额资金。而这种付出的方式，不再是传统的外交博弈，而是变成了一场资金的游戏，买方和卖方通过交易来解决曾经复杂的关 税问题。这对于依赖美国市场的各国来说，无疑是一个颠覆性的做法。 至于日本为何敢于采取这种土豪操作，或许与其经济实力密切相关。日本虽然是一个岛国，但其制造业实力雄厚，且在国际金融市场中的话语 权不容小觑。在某些方面，它甚至能够承受类似5500亿美元这种买关税的大额支出。但这种操作对于其他国家而言，却并不容易复制。即使其 他国家想效仿，也不一定能拥有足够的经济实力或者谈判资本。 日本的这个操作并非第一次震动世界，最早的一次是在1985年，广场协议签订后，日本为了应对美方压力，忍痛让日元升值，从而换取了美国 市场的部分优惠。这一次，历史再次重演，但这次的交易金额和内容显然更加惊人。 如果从经济学的角度来看，这种买卖式的关税交易其实并不新鲜。实际上，全球贸 ...

美国发起关税战，是摆明了要敛财，因为加征关税会直接增加美国的财政收入，至于因为关税导致的物价上涨，美国共和党政府已经直接将责任推到了拜登 政府，美国共和党政府经常抨击拜登政府时期的政策，从而推卸所有的责任。从公开的数据来看，美国在2025年的物价上涨已经是一个不可逆转的趋势，显 然美国的进口商是要将成本转移到美国民众的头上。在美国试图通过关税战敲诈其他国家的时候，实际上对于美国的普通民众一点都不手软，显然美国是有 自己的如意算盘。 中国和美国有很大的贸易规模，中国从美国市场获得了巨大的贸易顺差，美国共和党政府试图通过关税来削弱中国产品的竞争力，同时减少美国对中国的贸 易逆差，美国有着许多的目标，并且扛出了"美国利益优先"的旗号。实际上美国共和党政府所作所为是在伤害美国普通民众的利益，最近美国通过的"预算 开支法案"就是牺牲了美国普通民众的利益，同时还给美国的富人阶层减税，如今美国财政部长已经将目光再次瞄准了美国普通民众的口袋。 中国反制了美国发动的关税战，面对中国的强硬立场，如今的美国已经感到了担忧，因为就贸易而言，如今的美国是更加的离不开中国。中国的工业产值已 经超过了美国，虽然美国的工业产值超过了G7集团 ...
