美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特（资料图） 据金融界报道，韩国产业部副部长Park Sung-taek日前表示，由于所涉及问题的复杂性和政治不确定性，韩国认为在6月3日总统大选之前不可能与美国达成 全面贸易协议。Park表示，韩国政府本周将派代表团前往华盛顿进行工作组级别会谈，以推进上周的进展，但6月初之前就任何一揽子措施达成协议"在理论 上是不可能的"。美国财政部长Scott Bessent上周表示，继上周在华盛顿举行贸易谈判后，两国可能最快在本周达成"谅解协议"。Bessent表示，谈判进展比预 期更快，有望在7月8日关税生效的最后期限前完成。 特朗普上台100天，美国就出现了"债股汇"三杀，经济衰退已经成为了一个极大概率事件。然而，美国一向缺乏解决内部矛盾的智慧，他们惯于向外转移压 力。随着美国认清了我国的现有实力，特朗普政府决定从盟友身上开刀，最大程度地从盟友国家手中攫取利益。特朗普此前要求韩国开放汽车市场，并限制 钢铁出口，而韩方坚持要求特朗普豁免25%汽车关税，和10%铝制品关税。值得注意的是，韩国代表团在首次正式关税会谈后，特意向美方强调了当前"代 总统执政"的特殊政治状态。 据北晚在线报道，日前，日 ...

Summary of Conference Call Notes Industry or Company Involved - The discussion primarily revolves around the impact of U.S.-China trade tariffs on various industries, particularly focusing on consumer electronics, kitchen appliances, industrial metals, and energy metals. Core Points and Arguments - **Tariff Elasticity and Profit Impact**: A static estimate indicates a tariff elasticity of 1.7, meaning a 10% increase in tariffs leads to a 17% decline in U.S.-China trade volume. This is used to assess the net profit impact across industries based on their revenue exposure to the U.S. market [1][4]. - **Overreaction in Stock Prices**: Industries such as consumer electronics, kitchen appliances, industrial metals, and energy metals have experienced significant stock price declines that exceed the actual net profit damage, indicating a need for valuation adjustments due to long-term revenue shortages [1][5]. - **Ongoing Risks Under Current Tariff Scenarios**: Maintaining the current 145% equivalent tariff or a worse scenario of 125% equivalent tariff plus a 20% offset could lead to continued risks of stock price declines across various sectors [1][6]. - **Impact of Tariff Increases**: Under the 232 investigation results, a 25% tariff (totaling 45%) will significantly affect kitchen appliances, industrial metals, and energy metals, while consumer electronics have been excluded from this category [1][7]. - **Potential for Negotiation Progress**: If U.S.-China negotiations yield positive results, tariffs could revert to a 54% level, allowing for some industries to rebound from their current depressed state [1][8]. - **Optimistic Scenario**: In the most favorable scenario, if the 125% equivalent tariff is removed and only a 20% anti-dumping tariff is applied without introducing new products subject to a 25% tariff, industries such as small appliances, kitchen appliances, consumer electronics, batteries, communication equipment, textile manufacturing, and certain industrial metal sectors could see significant recovery [1][9]. Other Important but Possibly Overlooked Content - **Long-term Opportunities**: The focus should also be on emerging export categories with low global penetration and potential for growth, such as automotive parts, shipbuilding, machinery, medical devices, and chemical products. Companies with sufficient overseas production capacity in these sectors are better positioned to withstand risks [2][10]. - **Traditional Advantage Industries**: Industries where China holds a significant share of global production and market power, such as fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG), electronic components, and chemicals, are likely to maintain their competitive edge despite high tariffs due to supply chain and cost advantages [10].

韩国外长（资料图） 中国有句老话，听其言而观其行。作为美国的盟友，韩国政府的外交政策深受美国的影响。韩国外交部长虽然这样表态，我们还是要关注接下来的一系列 举动。果不其然，赵兑烈认为韩国的外交政策需要优先定位于韩美同盟等基础性问题，至于跟中国接触也是为了"防止21世纪强国之间爆发战争"，更是为 了韩国自身利益。但是，从美国对韩国政治、经济的影响以及驻韩美军的存在，这就决定了韩国想完全制定独立自主的外交政策是不现实。 韩国等小国的"表态中立"，本质是在大国夹缝中求生存的无奈选择。它们既不愿放弃美国的安全保护，又无法承受与中国经济脱钩的代价。中国的反制措 施和美国的胁迫，共同塑造了小国"口头上不选边、行动上找平衡"的策略。正如新加坡前总理李显龙所言："在中美之间，小国不是在选边，而是在选怎么 活"。这种困境短期内难以突破，而大国博弈的烈度，将最终决定这些国家能否在"惊涛骇浪"中守住航向。 据智通财经报道，韩国要求与美国就贸易问题进行"冷静有序"的磋商。据报道，这个亚洲第四大经济体正寻求在7月前与美国达成协议以避免加征关税。在 华盛顿举行的"2+2"会谈中，韩国经济副总理兼企划财政部长官崔相穆和产业通商资源部长官D ...
