Core Viewpoints The fraud incident of US non - farm payroll data from May to June in 2025 has multi - dimensional and differentiated impacts on the global commodity market, reshaping the pricing logic of new energy metals, iron ore, and oilseed agricultural products through the transmission chain of "economic expectation revision - monetary policy shift - industrial policy game." Different varieties show differentiation due to policy sensitivity differences. Investors need to pay close attention to the September Fed interest - rate meeting and China's "dual - carbon" policy details, which may be the key nodes for secondary pricing of the market [1]. Summary by Directory 1. Crude Oil Futures: The Tug - of - War between Demand Expectation Collapse and Geopolitical Conflicts - The fraud of US non - farm data from May to June exposed the real weakness of the US job market, causing the market's expectation of crude oil demand to cool rapidly. The revised non - farm data showed that the new employment in May and June was only 19,000 and 14,000 respectively, far lower than the previously announced 144,000 and 147,000. Brent crude oil futures price once fell below $70/barrel after the incident was exposed, a decline of about 15% from the May high. The long - term demand - side impact depends on the pace of the US economic soft landing and the actual demand recovery in China. If the Fed cuts interest rates as expected in the fourth quarter, it may help improve the macro - expectation and support the oil price center [6]. - Geopolitical factors partially offset the demand concerns. OPEC + members have agreed in principle to significantly increase crude oil production again in September, planning to increase production by 548,000 barrels per day. Coupled with the rising expectation of the US imposing a 10% tariff on imported crude oil, international oil prices rebounded to around $75 in July. The crude oil market is in a volatile pattern of "weak reality" and "strong expectation" [6]. - In August, the supply side may increase to a certain extent, but the increase may be limited. The demand side is supported by the traditional peak season in the US, and the inventory - reduction trend is expected to continue, providing bottom support for oil prices. However, the pressure of OPEC + production increase still exists, and long - term crude oil prices face upward pressure. Domestic chemical futures are expected to be differentiated due to raw material costs and supply - demand factors [7][8]. 2. Gold Futures Regain Momentum: Driven by Both Safe - Haven Premium and Monetary Policy Shift - The market trust crisis triggered by the fraud of US non - farm data from May to June and the expectation of Fed policy shift jointly pushed the gold price to break through the historical high. After the release of weak non - farm data, the dollar index tumbled, and the probability of a Fed rate cut in September soared from 46% to 73% [10]. - Spot gold soared after the non - farm data was announced, rising more than $70 and closing up 2.21% at $3362.88/ounce. COMEX gold futures broke through $2600/ounce. Central bank gold - buying behavior further strengthened the safe - haven attribute of gold. Goldman Sachs predicted that if the concerns about US fiscal sustainability intensify, the gold price may break through $3150/ounce by the end of 2025 [10][11]. 3. Copper Futures: The Intensified Game between Industrial Attributes and Policy Disturbances - The Trump administration's decision to impose a 50% tariff on imported copper pushed up the LME copper price, while the fraud of US non - farm data weakened the global industrial demand logic for copper. In June 2025, the global refined copper inventory increased by 12% compared with May, but the copper price premium in the US Midwest remained at a high level of $450/ton. The COMEX copper price closed at $9200/ton in July, down 7% from the May high but still higher than the beginning - of - year level [13]. 4. Aluminum Futures: The Balance between Cost Support and Demand Contraction - The fraud of US non - farm data from May to June led to concerns about global and US economic recession, causing the LME aluminum price to fall by 4% in June. However, the 30% increase in European natural gas prices pushed up the production cost of electrolytic aluminum, supporting the price to stabilize above $2000/ton. The adjustment of China's export structure was a key variable. The 22% increase in aluminum product exports to ASEAN in the first half of the year partially offset the impact of US tariffs. The supply - demand re - balance reduced the aluminum price volatility from 18% in May to 12% in June [14]. 5. New Energy Metal Futures: The Game between Cost Support and Capacity Clearance 5.1 Lithium Carbonate: Bottom - Range Fluctuation and Policy - Driven Expectations - The fraud of US non - farm data increased the market's concern about the global economic slowdown, and the expected demand for new energy vehicles decreased. The lithium carbonate price fell to the industry's cash - cost line of 60,000 yuan/ton from May to June. However, China's "dual - carbon" policy and the resilient demand in the energy - storage field partially offset the downward pressure. The volatility of lithium carbonate futures reached a new high since October 2024. After the price decline, the downstream rigid - demand procurement increased, and the price was expected to fluctuate around 70,000 yuan/ton in the short term [19]. 5.2 Polysilicon: The Tug - of - War between Inventory Reduction and Technological Iteration - The fraud of US non - farm data led to a downward adjustment of the expected photovoltaic installation, causing the polysilicon price to fall below 35,000 yuan/ton in June, a decline of 18% from the May high. The technological iteration of the increasing penetration rate of N - type silicon wafers supported the premium of high - purity polysilicon. The global polysilicon inventory decreased from 398,000 tons at the end of 2024 to 367,000 tons in June 2025, but the inventory - reduction speed was lower than expected. The expectation of China imposing a 15% tariff on polysilicon exports further suppressed market sentiment [20]. 6. Iron Ore: The Tug - of - War between Supply Expectations and Demand Resilience 6.1 Contradiction between Short - Term Demand Support and Long - Term Capacity Impact - After the fraud of US non - farm data, the market's concern about China's crude - steel production control increased. From May to July, the blast - furnace operating rate remained at a high level, and the daily average hot - metal output in July was above 2.4 million tons, supporting the iron ore market demand. The price of iron ore fluctuated between $100 - 105/ton. The expected production of the Simandou Iron Ore Project in Guinea at the end of 2025 will have a significant impact on the global iron ore supply pattern, forming a long - term supply suppression. The term structure of the iron ore futures market has changed from the Contango structure to the Back structure [23][24]. 6.2 Superimposed Impact of Policy Game and Green Transformation - The increasing expectation of China imposing a 5% tariff on imported iron ore has raised the spot premium of iron ore. The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) has changed the iron ore market structure, increasing the demand for high - grade ore. The "near - strong, far - weak" pattern of the iron ore market has become more prominent [25]. 7. Agricultural Product Futures: Indirect Transmission through the Dollar Cycle and Trade Policy 7.1 Soybeans: Double Suppression of South American Bumper Harvest and Tariff Game - The fraud of US non - farm data and the expected South American soybean bumper harvest (expected output of 165 million tons) led to a 4.2% decline in the US soybean futures price in June. China's 10% tariff on US soybeans increased the import cost and reduced the non - commercial net long positions. The sharp decrease in soybean arrivals in China from October will lead to a decline in the operating rate and processing volume of domestic soybean oil mills. The basis of domestic soybean meal and soybean oil futures is at a five - year low, and the prices of soybean oil and soybean meal are likely to rise [29][31]. 7.2 Rapeseed and Rapeseed Meal: The Tug - of - War between Trade Barriers and Inventory Cycle - China's 100% tariff on Canadian rapeseed meal in May led to a sharp increase in the coastal rapeseed meal price. The policy of allowing the "domestic sales" of bonded - area rapeseed meal in June forced traders to accelerate exports, reducing domestic inventory. Uncertainties in Sino - Canadian trade negotiations may lead to a shortage of rapeseed arrivals in China after October, which will boost the prices of domestic rapeseed meal and rapeseed oil [32]. 7.3 Biodiesel Policy: Linkage between Energy Attributes and Agricultural Products - The fraud of US non - farm data led to a decrease in the US biodiesel blending ratio of soybean oil, causing the US soybean oil futures price to fall. The EU's revised Renewable Energy Directive (REDII) supported the rebound of rapeseed oil futures. In the long term, palm oil may be a new buying opportunity after a sharp decline [33][34]. 7.4 Sugar: The Expectation of a Medium - to - Long - Term Weak Trend Remains - The impact of non - farm data fraud on sugar prices is limited. The ICE raw - sugar futures price is mainly affected by fundamental factors. The global sugar supply mainly depends on the Brazilian sugar - producing area. The long - term trend of raw - sugar prices may be weak [35][36]. 7.5 Cotton: Double Suppression of Cotton Demand - The fraud of US non - farm data and the political turmoil led to a decline in the cotton futures price. The economic slowdown and the decline in crude oil prices dragging down the price of polyester (a cotton substitute) have double - suppressed cotton demand [37]. 8. The Global Market Will Face Structural Changes such as Policy Reconstruction 8.1 Reconstruction of Global and US - European Monetary Policy Expectations - After the significant downward revision of US non - farm data from May to June, the market's expectation of the Fed's interest - rate cut in 2025 has increased from 75 basis points to 100 basis points. The downward revision of non - farm data is to create momentum for the Fed to restart the interest - rate cut process in September [38]. 8.2 The US May Enter a Cliff - like Interest - Rate Cut in 2026 - After the Fed starts to cut interest rates in September, the US will enter a period of loose monetary policy. In the second quarter of 2026, the Fed may lose its monetary - policy independence and start a cliff - like interest - rate cut [39]. 8.3 Global Financial Asset Reallocation Benefits Chinese Assets - With the Fed's interest - rate cut in September, international financial assets in the US will flow out, and global financial assets will be reallocated, benefiting Chinese assets [40].

Core Insights - The global competition for oil, particularly in the Middle East, is a significant aspect of international relations, with the U.S. historically seeking control over this resource-rich region to maintain its influence and pricing power [1] - China's energy strategy is evolving towards reducing dependence on Middle Eastern oil, focusing on domestic production and diversifying import sources [3][7] Group 1: Energy Production and Consumption - In 2024, China's oil production is projected to reach a historical high of 212 million tons, yet it still falls short of the annual demand of 756 million tons, leading to an import volume of 553 million tons and a dependency rate of 71.9% [3][11] - The share of Middle Eastern oil in China's imports has decreased to below 55%, with Russia emerging as a significant supplier, accounting for 15.5% of imports [9][7] Group 2: Transportation and Supply Chains - Since 2004, China's oil imports have surged nearly sixfold, with Middle Eastern oil supply now constituting 51% of total imports, while Russian oil supply has reached 15.5% [5][9] - The construction of land-based energy corridors, such as the China-Russia oil pipeline with an annual capacity of 30 million tons, is helping to mitigate reliance on maritime routes like the Malacca Strait [7][19] Group 3: Energy Security Measures - China has established a strategic oil reserve system capable of covering 100 days of net imports, alongside increasing domestic oil and gas production to enhance energy security [11][12] - The promotion of green energy solutions, including the rise of electric vehicles and solar energy, is expected to reduce reliance on traditional oil, with 30 million electric vehicles projected to replace approximately 28 million tons of gasoline by 2024 [12][14] Group 4: Financial and Geopolitical Dynamics - The use of the Chinese yuan in oil transactions is increasing, with 99.6% of Sino-Russian oil trade now settled in yuan, marking a shift away from the U.S. dollar's dominance in global oil markets [14][19] - The potential of African oil resources is being recognized, with Nigeria's refineries expected to start production by 2025, contributing to a growing share of West African oil in the global market [16][19] Group 5: Strategic Initiatives - China's energy strategy is characterized by a multi-faceted approach, including the "island-hopping" strategy and enhancing energy autonomy, which is reshaping the global energy landscape [18][19] - The expansion of energy supply chains, including new production bases in Europe and North America, is aimed at overcoming trade barriers imposed by Western nations [18][19]

Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating information is provided in the report. 2. Core View The August 3rd OPEC+ meeting is highly anticipated by the market, and its decisions will impact the global crude oil market. Recently, OPEC+ has been accelerating production increases, with 8 core member countries' cumulative production increase accounting for 62% of the planned reduction cancellation. The meeting will determine the production increase scale for September, discuss long - term strategic directions, and address issues of non - compliant member countries. Its decisions may intensify oil price fluctuations, intensify market share competition, and have a chain reaction on downstream industries [1]. 3. Summary by Directory OPEC+ Recent Production Increase Situation Analysis - Since April 2025, OPEC+ has shifted from long - term production cuts to capacity release. Eight core member countries increased production by 411,000 barrels per day each month from May to July, far exceeding the original plan of 138,000 barrels per day. On July 5th, they decided to increase the production quota by 548,000 barrels per day in August [2]. - Saudi Arabia leads the production increase. The high demand in the Northern Hemisphere in summer provides an opportunity to expand market share, and it also aims to activate idle capacity and enhance market influence. Additionally, it is a way to reconcile internal contradictions caused by some non - compliant member countries. So far, these 8 countries have cumulatively increased production by 1.37 million barrels per day, accounting for 62% of the planned 2.2 million barrels per day reduction cancellation, and are expected to complete the cancellation in September, one year ahead of schedule [2]. 8 - Month Meeting Core Issue Research - **Determination of September Production Increase Scale**: The market generally expects that OPEC+ will focus on the September production increase scale in the August 3rd meeting and is likely to continue the production increase trend. Many predict that Saudi Arabia and its allies may approve an additional 548,000 barrels per day increase in September. However, the final scale is still uncertain as OPEC+ needs to consider global supply - demand, inventory levels, and geopolitical factors [3]. - **Discussion of Long - Term Strategic Direction**: As the first - stage large - scale production increase nears completion, OPEC+ needs to discuss whether to continue increasing production to consolidate market share or adjust the production increase rhythm or even return to production cuts to stabilize oil prices. If the cumulative production increase reaches 2.2 million barrels per day in the August meeting, OPEC+ may stop increasing production, but this depends on members' judgments of the market and interest games [4]. - **Handling Mechanism for Non - compliant Member Countries**: The issue of some member countries violating production quotas may be mentioned again. The meeting may introduce measures such as a stricter production monitoring system, economic sanctions, or adjustment of future production quotas to ensure the effective implementation of the production cut agreement and enhance OPEC+'s market control ability [5]. Potential Impact of Meeting Decisions on the Market - **Intensified Oil Price Fluctuations**: If OPEC+ decides to significantly increase production in September, global oil supply will increase, and the expectation of supply surplus will strengthen, putting downward pressure on oil prices. However, oil price trends are also affected by factors such as the global economic recovery, US monetary policy, and geopolitical conflicts. The actual impact of OPEC+ production increase on oil prices needs to consider the interaction of these factors [6]. - **Intensified Market Share Competition**: OPEC+ is accelerating production increase to compete for market share in the face of the diversified global energy pattern. If the meeting decides to continue increasing production, it will reshape the global crude oil market competition pattern, and other oil - producing countries may adjust their production strategies and market layouts [6]. - **Chain Reaction in Downstream Industries**: If production increase leads to lower oil prices, it will reduce the raw material costs of petrochemical enterprises and the operating costs of the transportation industry, but it will also reduce the fiscal revenue of oil - exporting countries and regions. Long - term low oil prices may inhibit the development of the new energy industry [7].
