1. Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the report. 2. Core Views of the Report - Trump plans to impose about 100% tariffs on chips and semiconductor products, but companies building factories in the US will be exempt. Apple will invest an additional $100 billion in US manufacturing, bringing its total US investment to $600 billion. Trump also ordered an additional 25% ad - valorem tax on Indian goods, which will take effect in 21 days, raising the total tariff rate on Indian goods to 50% [8]. - The soybean oil futures 09 contract has reached a 23 - month high. Due to the expected improvement in the balance sheet and relatively low valuation, it is recommended to pay attention to the opportunity of going long on soybean oil at low prices [9][10]. - The copper price has support, and the future fundamentals will play a major role. It is recommended to buy on dips unilaterally and pay attention to calendar spreads and domestic - foreign spreads [11]. - The asphalt shows a unilateral oscillation, with partial holding of reverse spreads and limited cracking rebound.

地缘博弈的牺牲品：蒙古乌尤特铜矿的沉痛教训 蒙古国南部戈壁滩上的乌尤特（Oyu Tolgoi）铜矿，本应是蒙古经济腾飞的引擎，却因一场充满争议的决策，演变成地缘政治博弈的牺牲品，留下了一地鸡 毛的教训。这颗闪耀的"天赐资源"，蕴藏着超过3000万吨铜和3500吨黄金，其战略地位更是举足轻重——距离中国边境仅80公里，地理位置得天独厚。按照 常理，依托中国庞大的铜消费市场（全球市占率超过50%）以及便捷的陆路和港口资源，乌尤特铜矿理应为蒙古带来巨额财富，实现双赢局面。然而，现实 却远比想象残酷。 最初，中国企业曾多次表达参与乌尤特铜矿开发的意愿。但由于蒙古当时的政策不确定性、法律框架不成熟以及强烈的"资源民族主义"情绪，合作迟迟未能 落地。最终，澳大利亚力拓集团和加拿大Turquoise Hill公司于2009年与蒙古政府达成协议，获得了该矿的大规模开发权。蒙古政府持有34%的股份，看似公 平的合作，却埋下了日后冲突的种子。 合作初期，乌尤特项目便问题频出：预算从预估的50亿美元飙升至100多亿美元，建设进度严重滞后，环境问题层出不穷。蒙古政府屡次抗议，指责力拓"转 移利润"、"税务不透明"，并试图重新谈判。最 ...
