Group 1 - The U.S. initiated a trade war against China starting in 2018, imposing high tariffs on Chinese goods to protect domestic industries and reduce trade deficits, but this led to increased costs for American consumers, with an average household spending over $1,000 more annually due to tariffs [1][3] - Despite the trade war, China's exports remained resilient, redirecting markets to Southeast Asia and Europe, while U.S. importers sought alternatives in countries like Vietnam and Mexico, which also faced rising production costs, exacerbating inflation in the U.S. [3][5] - The U.S. semiconductor industry was adversely affected by sanctions against Chinese tech firms like Huawei and ZTE, leading to revenue declines for major companies such as Intel and AMD, prompting the U.S. government to subsidize the domestic semiconductor sector [5][11] Group 2 - The U.S. has increased military and diplomatic efforts to contain China, including arms sales to Taiwan and strengthening alliances with Japan and Australia, but these actions have faced challenges, such as cost overruns and delays in military projects [7][9] - The U.S. support for Ukraine and sanctions against Russia aimed to weaken Sino-Russian ties, but resulted in Russia strengthening its economic relationship with China, while Europe faced economic downturns due to high energy prices [9][11] - Overall, despite various measures taken by the U.S. to counter China's rise, China has adapted and continued to develop its international connections, particularly through initiatives like the Belt and Road, indicating a shift in the balance of power between the two nations [11]

Group 1: Report Investment Ratings - No specific industry investment ratings are provided in the report. Group 2: Core Views - The overall market sentiment is positive, with the Shanghai Composite Index reaching a ten - year high. The upward trend of stock indices is clear in the medium and long term, while the bond market is under adjustment pressure. In the commodity market, different varieties show different trends, with some being bullish, some bearish, and some in a volatile pattern [1]. Group 3: Summary by Variety Financial Futures - **Stock Indices**: The trading - type funds are active, and the abundant liquidity drives the stock indices to strengthen. With the Shanghai Composite Index hitting a new high, the market sentiment is high. In the medium and long term, factors such as the transfer of household deposits, the bottom - up recovery of corporate profits, and continuous policy support will continue, so the long - term holding of stock index futures is recommended [1]. - **Treasury Bonds**: The bond market is in a weak state. The market's risk preference is optimistic, and the bond market sentiment is fragile. The risk of bond market adjustment may not be completely eliminated, especially for long - term bonds [1]. Commodity Futures Metals - **Gold**: The price is in a high - level volatile range. The market's prediction of the probability of the Fed's interest rate cut in September has decreased. Attention should be paid to Powell's speech at the Jackson Hole Annual Meeting and the marginal changes in the market's expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut [4]. - **Silver**: It maintains a bullish pattern. Although the market's expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut in September has cooled marginally, it is still a high - probability event. The macro - environment is generally favorable for the upward movement of the silver price [4]. - **Copper**: The price is in a volatile pattern. The medium - term upward driving force remains, but there are many short - term disturbances on the demand side, and the valuation is relatively high, so the upward momentum needs new drivers [4]. - **Aluminum and Alumina**: Alumina is under pressure due to over - capacity, and the market's bullish sentiment has weakened. The support for Shanghai Aluminum is clear, and attention should be paid to changes in the demand side [4]. - **Nickel**: The price is in a narrow - range volatile pattern. The supply is not tightened, the demand elasticity is limited, and the high inventory suppresses the upward space. It is recommended to hold the short - call option [6]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: The resource end may still be disturbed. Although the current fundamentals are loose, there is still an expectation of resource tightening in the market, and the lithium price may fluctuate widely at a high level [6]. Energy and Chemicals - **PVC**: Due to serious oversupply, new short positions are recommended [2]. - **Silicon Energy**: The price of polysilicon has strong support. The price increase of each link in the photovoltaic industry chain supports the profit of upstream raw materials. Policy - favorable sentiment has fermented again [6]. - **Steel and Minerals** - **Rebar**: The fundamentals are weakening. The probability of the price oscillating downward has increased. It is recommended to adjust the short - put option position to the short - call option position [6]. - **Hot - Rolled Coil**: The short - term price is likely to be weak. It is recommended to wait for the further accumulation of fundamental contradictions or the clarification of policy [6]. - **Iron Ore**: The price is expected to move within a range. It is recommended to try short positions at high prices [8]. - **Coking Coal and Coke**: The price of coking coal is under pressure to fall, and the price of coke is likely to follow the coking coal price. [ - **Glass and Soda Ash**: Both are in a state of strong expectation and weak reality, showing a volatile pattern. It is recommended to wait and see for soda ash and maintain an optimistic view on the 01 contract of glass. - **Crude Oil**: The market is in a bearish pattern. The consumption peak season is ending, and the supply surplus expectation is strengthening. - **Methanol**: The coastal supply is in surplus, and the price is in a bearish pattern. - **Polyolefins**: The fundamentals have no obvious contradictions, and the price is expected to fluctuate narrowly. Agricultural Products - **Cotton**: The supply and demand have been adjusted, and the inventory is decreasing. The market is concerned about the marginal improvement of downstream demand in the peak season. - **Rubber**: The supply - demand structure is improving, and the port inventory is decreasing, providing support for the price.

Group 1: Overall Strategy Recommendations - Hold existing long positions in the IF2509 contract of the CSI 300 Index due to continuous improvement in liquidity and high bullish sentiment [1] - Adopt a long - position strategy for liquefied petroleum gas and Shanghai aluminum, and expect Shanghai nickel to remain weak [1] - Hold short - put options on the PS2511 - P - 45000 polycrystalline silicon contract as downstream prices provide strong support [2] - Initiate new long positions in the P2601 palm oil contract as positive factors from the production area continue to emerge [2] Group 2: Equity Index Analysis - The A - share market continued to rise last week, with the Shanghai Composite Index reaching a new stage closing high and the trading volume of the two markets exceeding 2 trillion yuan for three consecutive days. The communication and non - bank financial sectors led the gains, while the banking and steel sectors declined [1] - In July, domestic economic indicators fluctuated, with the year - on - year growth rates of industrial added value, total retail sales of consumer goods, and fixed - asset investment lower than expected, which increased market expectations for incremental policies. With the continuous rise of the stock market and the accumulation of profit - making effects, the equity index is expected to remain strong under the boost of liquidity [1] Group 3: Treasury Bond Analysis - Bond market sentiment remained fragile last week, with more significant adjustments in long - term bonds. Domestic economic data was still mixed, but market optimism continued, and expectations for additional stimulus policies remained. The central bank's net injection in the open market kept the money market stable, but the overall cost of funds increased. The market's expectations for monetary policy easing turned cautious, and the bond market faced adjustment pressure [1] Group 4: Precious Metals Analysis - Gold prices are expected to continue to oscillate in a high - level range. The US - Russia summit over the weekend did not reach an agreement, but it may have released positive signals, which is marginally beneficial to global risk appetite. There is currently insufficient upward momentum for gold prices [3] - Silver remains in a bullish pattern. The confidence in a "soft landing" of the US economy is still significantly higher than that of a "recession." Although the expectation of an aggressive interest rate cut by the Fed in September has cooled, an interest rate cut within the year is still highly likely, and the direction of US fiscal policy easing is clear. Hold short - put options on the silver 10 - contract and long positions in silver [3] Group 5: Non - ferrous Metals Analysis - Copper prices are expected to continue to oscillate. Economic data is still mixed, but expectations for additional policies remain optimistic. The impact of tariffs has weakened, and there are still differences in the market's expectations for the Fed's interest rate cut rhythm. The supply of copper mines in Chile is resuming, but the tight supply situation at the mine end has not improved. The demand during the peak season and policy expectations still support consumption, but there are many short - term disturbances on the demand side, and the valuation is relatively high, so new driving forces are needed for further upward movement [3] - The expansion of the US aluminum tariff scope has limited impact. Alumina prices fluctuated last week, and the center of gravity of Shanghai aluminum prices slightly increased. The market's expectations for additional policies remain optimistic, and there are differences in the market's expectations for the Fed's interest rate cut rhythm. The expansion of the US aluminum tariff scope has limited impact, and the current US aluminum production capacity is limited, with a high degree of import dependence. The alumina market is in an oversupply situation, and the price is expected to continue to oscillate, while Shanghai aluminum has clear support at the bottom, and attention should be paid to changes in demand [3] - Nickel prices are expected to continue to oscillate in a range. The supply of nickel mines in Indonesia is tight, while the supply from the Philippines has increased seasonally. The smelting sector is in an oversupply situation, and the downstream consumption of stainless steel is still in the off - season. The demand for nickel from ternary batteries is limited by its weak market share. Although there are some supporting factors such as macro - policy expectations and a weak US dollar index, there is no clear directional driving force [3] Group 6: Lithium and Silicon Analysis - Lithium carbonate prices are expected to oscillate at a high level. The suspension of the Jiaxiaowo mine has been realized, and the price of lithium carbonate has risen significantly. The production of the smelting sector has increased, and the inventory pressure is still high. However, considering the continuous increase in futures trading volume and open interest, the market sentiment is still positive. Attention should be paid to the production situation of mines in Yichun [4] - Industrial silicon and polycrystalline silicon markets are in an oscillating pattern. For industrial silicon, supply and demand have both increased, and the inventory has remained stable, with no strong driving force. The manufacturers' price - holding sentiment is strong, resulting in a stalemate between supply and demand. For polycrystalline silicon, although some enterprises in Xinjiang have stopped production, the overall supply is still increasing. Downstream component prices have risen, and there are still expectations for further price increases. Policy - related positive sentiment has re - emerged, and overall prices are strongly supported [4] Group 7: Steel and Iron Ore Analysis - Steel prices are expected to oscillate. For rebar, the long - term logic of anti - involution is difficult to disprove, but the fundamentals have shown signs of weakening. Environmental protection restrictions before the military parade may affect blast furnace production in the Beijing - Tianjin - Hebei region, but the current steel mill profits are acceptable, which may stimulate the production enthusiasm of non - restricted areas. Rebar inventory has begun to accumulate rapidly. Without policies to reduce crude steel production, the contraction of steel - making profits is a more certain direction after the end of the military parade restrictions. Rebar futures prices are expected to continue to operate in the range of [3150, 3300] [4] - For hot - rolled coils, the fundamentals and policy are divergent. The long - term logic of anti - involution is difficult to disprove, but the steel fundamentals have weakened marginally. The fundamentals of hot - rolled coils and other plate products are relatively better than those of construction steel. Environmental protection restrictions before the military parade may ease the inventory accumulation pressure of plate products. However, if there are no strict policies to reduce crude steel production, the contraction of steel - making profits is still a likely direction. Hot - rolled coil futures prices are expected to operate in the range of [3350, 3500] [4] - Iron ore prices are expected to turn to range - bound operation. The environmental protection restrictions in the north before the military parade may affect iron ore demand, but the relatively high steel mill profits and the certain复产 direction after the end of the restrictions limit the downward space of iron ore prices. Iron ore futures prices are expected to operate in the range of [750, 810] for the 01 contract [4][5] Group 8: Coal and Coke Analysis - Coking coal prices are expected to oscillate. The exchange has strengthened risk - control measures in the futures market, and the coking coal futures price fluctuations have increased. The fundamentals are improving, but the rate of inventory reduction at the mine end has slowed down, and the upward trend of coal prices is expected to slow down. Attention should be paid to the results of the energy bureau's inspection of coal mine production and the proportion of expected shutdown mines [5] - Coke prices are expected to oscillate. After six rounds of price increases, the coking profit has been repaired, and the daily production of coke has increased slightly. The impact of production restrictions on Shandong coking enterprises has not yet appeared, and the current fundamentals of coke show a double - increase pattern. However, environmental protection restrictions in the Beijing - Tianjin - Hebei region in the second half of the month are expected to affect both supply and demand [5] Group 9: Chemical Products Analysis - Oil prices are in a bearish pattern. Geopolitical negotiations between the US and Russia may help promote the resolution of the Russia - Ukraine conflict. Major institutions have significantly raised their forecasts for supply surpluses, and oil prices are expected to remain weak [5] - Methanol prices are in a bearish pattern. The overseas methanol plant operating rate has remained at 72%. The spot price of methanol in East China has fallen due to increased arrivals. The futures 09 contract has accelerated its decline, and the basis has returned to a reasonable level. If the planned restart of maintenance devices goes smoothly, production will increase significantly, but there are still new maintenance plans. Wait for the price to stabilize before selling put options or taking long positions [6] - Polyolefin prices are expected to oscillate. After the end of the centralized maintenance period, polyolefin production has returned to a high level, and demand is about to enter the peak season. There are no prominent contradictions in the fundamentals. If there are no extreme movements in coal or oil prices, polyolefin futures are expected to continue to oscillate. After the release of oil - related negative news this week, sell near - month slightly out - of - the - money put options. The spread between L and PP is expected to further widen from September to October [6] Group 10: Agricultural Products Analysis - Cotton prices are expected to have limited upward space in the short term. The USDA report has reduced the production forecast for the 2025/26 season, which has supported cotton prices. However, the domestic cotton market is still in the off - season, and there is no obvious improvement in yarn mill orders. The pre - hedging orders of ginneries under the expectation of a bumper harvest may put pressure on the market, and the peak - season expectation from September to October has not yet been reflected [6] - Rubber prices are cautiously bullish. The inventory of semi - steel tires has increased, which has dragged down production line operations, but they are still at a relatively high level. The all - steel tire inventory has decreased smoothly, and production enthusiasm is high. The demand for rubber is expected to improve marginally. Although the rubber - tapping season has entered the production - increasing period, the raw material supply has not increased as expected, and the purchase price has slightly increased. The supply - demand structure of natural rubber has continued to improve, and the port inventory has decreased rapidly, providing support for rubber prices [6]
