Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core Viewpoints - The USDA's July cotton supply and demand report is bearish, and good weather and improved crop ratings are suppressing the upside potential of US cotton in the short term. There are risks from macro factors such as US tariffs on imports from Japan, South Korea and potential new 10% tariffs on BRICS countries. In China, the textile industry is in a consumption off - season, with poor new orders, a slow decline in overall operating rates, and more cautious raw material procurement. Cotton is in a de - stocking state, and high - temperature weather in some areas of Xinjiang increases the risk of heat damage to cotton, supporting a slightly stronger price trend. However, the consumption off - season in the downstream is dragging on the price rhythm, so the overall trend is oscillating slightly stronger. Weather and macro factors should be continuously monitored [2] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Futures Market - Zhengzhou cotton's main contract closing price is 13,850 yuan/ton, down 25 yuan; cotton yarn's main contract closing price is 20,050 yuan/ton, down 70 yuan.

Summary of Conference Call Records Industry Overview - The records focus on the textile and apparel industry, particularly the impact of U.S. tariffs on Vietnamese textiles and the implications for companies operating in this sector [1][2][16]. Key Points and Arguments 1. **Tariff Changes**: The U.S. government reduced tariffs on Vietnamese textiles from 46% to 20%, but imposed a 40% punitive tariff on goods transshipped through Vietnam from third countries, which depends on the origin determination based on core processing locations [1][6][17]. 2. **Origin Determination**: The U.S. Customs uses core processing locations to determine the origin of textile products. For example, dyeing and printing for curtains and cutting and sewing for garments are critical processes [3][4][7]. 3. **Vietnam's Competitive Advantage**: Vietnam benefits from lower tariffs compared to other Southeast Asian countries, making it an attractive location for textile production. Companies with significant production in Vietnam face lower risks [5][16][17]. 4. **Dependency on Imported Materials**: Southeast Asian textile industries, including Vietnam, Cambodia, and Indonesia, rely heavily on imported materials, with over 70% dependency for fabrics [13][14]. 5. **Local Production Capabilities**: Some companies, like Shenzhou International, have achieved high localization rates, while others, like Jin Yuan International, plan to increase their fabric production capacity [14][15]. 6. **Impact of Tariff Policies**: The tariff policies create differentiated impacts on companies based on their production locations and the extent of their local operations. Companies with a higher proportion of production in Vietnam, such as Huayi and Jian Sheng, are less exposed to tariff risks [17][18]. 7. **Investor Focus**: Investors are advised to focus on large suppliers like Shenzhou and Huayi, which have favorable characteristics such as low exposure to U.S. exports, high net profit margins, and significant local production in ASEAN countries [19]. Additional Important Content - **Market Sentiment**: Following the tariff updates, stocks of brands with significant supply chain operations in Vietnam, such as Nike, initially rose but later fell due to updates from other countries like Indonesia [2]. - **Future Expectations**: There is an expectation that brand profit margins may stabilize and potentially increase, allowing for cost pass-through to downstream partners, which could benefit leading suppliers [18][19]. - **Complexity of Tariff Regulations**: The determination of origin can be complex, as seen in specific cases where the core processes were completed in different countries, affecting the final origin designation [8][9][10][11][12]. This summary encapsulates the critical insights from the conference call records regarding the textile industry, focusing on tariff impacts, competitive advantages, and investment opportunities.
