Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly provide an investment rating for the industry Core Insights - Deflationary pressures are worsening in China, primarily due to the impact of tariffs on the Producer Price Index (PPI) and the overall economic environment [1][7] - Core Consumer Price Index (CPI) remains stable at 0.5% year-on-year, indicating some resilience despite broader deflationary trends [2][4] - The PPI has shown a significant decline, with a month-on-month decrease of -0.4%, driven by lower prices in oil, raw materials, and durable consumer goods [3][7] Summary by Sections CPI Analysis - Core CPI year-on-year remained at 0.5% in April, unchanged from March, while month-on-month seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) was 0.7% [2] - Food inflation reached its highest level in five months, primarily due to increased prices for fruit and beef, countering the effects of lower international oil prices [2] PPI Analysis - The PPI year-on-year decreased to -2.7% in April, reflecting ongoing tariff impacts and weaker final demand [6][7] - Specific sectors such as textiles, wood products, chemicals, rubber, and plastics experienced accelerated price declines, indicating significant exposure to the US market [3][7] Outlook - The PPI is expected to slip below -3% year-on-year from the current -2.7% during the May-July period due to less favorable base effects and continued tariff impacts [4] - Core CPI is anticipated to soften sequentially as the effects of PPI pass through, although year-on-year figures may remain resilient due to a low base [4][7]
进口流入补充,锌价震荡偏弱
Tong Guan Jin Yuan Qi Huo· 2025-05-12 06:43
Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Views of the Report - Last week, the main contract price of Shanghai zinc futures fluctuated weakly. The Fed maintained the interest rate but kept the possibility of a rate cut. The US and the UK reached a tariff agreement, and China and the US held talks. China introduced a package of financial policies, and exports in April showed strong resilience, improving market risk appetite [3][9]. - Fundamentally, mines are steadily ramping up production, and processing fees at home and abroad have increased month - on - month. However, as zinc prices have fallen, mines are less willing to offer concessions, and the increase in processing fees has slowed. In May, smelters are both reducing and resuming production, and the output of refined zinc is expected to remain flat month - on - month. The import window for zinc ingots has gradually opened since late April, and some imported goods have flowed in recently, keeping the supply pressure at a relatively high level [4][9]. - On the demand side, after the holiday, enterprises resumed work, and the operating rates of various primary sectors increased to varying degrees. High - voltage orders supported the tower orders, but galvanized pipe enterprises planned to cut production due to price competition. Electronic alloy orders were good, while traditional hardware accessory orders were poor, and some alloy terminal export orders decreased recently. Orders for rubber - grade and feed - grade zinc oxide decreased, while ceramic - grade orders were stable [4][9]. - Overall, the China - US trade negotiations and the release of domestic favorable policies have restored market sentiment, but there is still uncertainty in tariff negotiations. Fundamentally, there is an expectation of marginal weakening. The high output of refined zinc and the supplement of imported zinc ingots keep the supply pressure high. As the peak season is coming to an end, the enthusiasm for purchasing and restocking has weakened, and the support of the low - inventory logic has been weakened. It is expected that zinc prices will fluctuate weakly to find support [4][9] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Transaction Data - From April 30th to May 9th, the SHFE zinc price dropped from 22,440 yuan/ton to 22,175 yuan/ton, a decrease of 265 yuan/ton; the LME zinc price rose from 2,588 dollars/ton to 2,636 dollars/ton, an increase of 48 dollars/ton; the Shanghai - London ratio decreased from 8.67 to 8.41, a decrease of 0.26; the SHFE inventory decreased from 48,477 tons to 47,102 tons, a decrease of 1,375 tons; the LME inventory decreased from 173,900 tons to 170,650 tons, a decrease of 3,250 tons; the social inventory increased from 7.7 million tons to 8.33 million tons, an increase of 0.63 million tons; the spot premium increased from 160 yuan/ton to 500 yuan/ton, an increase of 340 yuan/ton [5] 2.

In the second half of the week, the inflow of imported zinc ingots improved market arrivals, but downstream purchases were average, and traders gradually lowered the premium quotes, resulting in weak spot trading [6]. - In terms of inventory, by May 9th, the LME zinc inventory was 170,325 tons, a weekly decrease of 3,250 tons; the SHFE inventory was 47,102 tons, a decrease of 1,375 tons from last week. By May 8th, the social inventory was 8.33 million tons, an increase of 0.63 million tons from April 30th and a decrease of 0.08 million tons from May 6th [7]. - Macroscopically, the Fed kept the federal funds rate target range unchanged at 4.25% - 4.5%. The FOMC statement said that the uncertainty of the economic outlook has further increased.

The mine's output accounts for about 5% of the global zinc supply and 2.5% of lead, and currently more than 20% of its zinc concentrate is sold to China [11]. - Glencore's self - owned zinc production in Q1 2025 was 213,600 tons, 4% higher than in Q1 2024, and its self - owned zinc production guidance for 2025 is 930,000 - 990,000 tons [11]. - Volcan's zinc concentrate metal output in Q1 2025 totaled 57,400 tons, a 10% decrease quarter - on - quarter and a 14% increase year - on - year. Its zinc concentrate production guidance for 2025 is 250,000 - 255,000 tons [11] 4.

未知机构:钨专家交流纪-要-202505-20250512
未知机构· 2025-05-12 03:55
2025 年一季度,钨精矿产量同比增长不到 1%,而硬质合金产量同比增长接近 10%。这一数 据表明,产业链重心逐渐向后端转移,后端产品的增幅显著高于前端产品,原料趋紧的态势 得以延续。从出口角度看,1-2 月出口小幅下降,3 月降幅扩大至 27%,进口量则同比增长 20%,其中钨金矿进口增长超过 40%。值得注意的是,内外价差的扩大导致进口原料价格下 降成为常态,这进一步加剧了国内市场的供应紧张局面。此外,尽管国际市场上其他地区交 易税费较低,但中国进口钨矿仍需承担 13%的贸易增值税,这也使得中国在国际市场上的竞 争力有所减弱。 2025 年一季度,钨价同比上涨 15%,这一趋势自 2023 年起便已显现并延续至今。管制政策 出台后,国内外钨价均加速上涨,显示出市场对供应紧张的强烈预期。预计 2025 年钨价波 动空间将在 20%-30%之间,均价可能达到 16 万元左右,阶段性高点可能触及 17 万元。然而, 在没有重大事件支撑的情况下,价格突破 20 万元的可能性较低。历史数据显示,价格波动 通常与供需基本面密切相关,且在大国博弈等外部因素影响下,价格可能出现非理性波动。 2025 年一季度,钨产品出 ...

海外稀土价格飙涨!
证券时报· 2025-05-09 08:40
近日,有研究机构称,以欧洲为代表的海外稀土价格大幅上涨,贸易商惜售情绪浓厚。 国际能源及大宗商品价格评估机构阿格斯5月6日发布的数据显示,阿格斯99.5%含量氧化镝的欧洲月度评估价从一个月前的250美元/公斤—310美元/公斤 跃升至700美元/公斤—1000美元/公斤。 99.99%含量的氧化铽欧洲到岸价格从4月初的930美元/千克—1000美元/千克上涨到2000美元/千克—4000美元/千 克。 氧化镝、氧化铽的涨幅和价位均为阿格斯2015年启动两款产品价格评估以来的历史最高值。 阿格斯有色金属分析团队负责人表示,本次上涨主要是因为上月初中国对中重稀土开始实施出口管制, 海外买家没有办法买到稀土产品,库存见底,恐 慌性报价,但真正成交的并不多。 4月4日,商务部、海关总署宣布对钐、钆、铽等七类中重稀土实施出口管制。 海外稀土价格大涨 该负责人认为,这次管控是史无前例的,也不知道会严重到何种程度。 但就目前看来,欧洲一些贸易商认为将会迎来一个卖方市场,并将这波上涨和中国2012年的稀土价格上涨相比较,市场需要为此做好准备。 据了解,受到出口限制影响的稀土才会出现大幅上涨。阿格斯对欧洲钕、铈和铒的月度价格评 ...
