1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core View of the Report - The conflict between the US and Iran is recurring, and Trump's verbal intervention is losing effectiveness. Rising energy prices and increasing inflation have led to a decline in expectations of a Fed rate cut and even a shift towards rate hikes. The probability of a rate hike by traders has exceeded 50% for the first time, causing an increase in US bond yields and suppressing the valuation of global risk assets. In China, the narrowing of PPI and strong profitability of industrial enterprises at the beginning of the year, along with energy self - sufficiency and reserve advantages, have maintained export resilience. The short - term market may continue to fluctuate, but the medium - to - long - term strategy is mainly to go long on dips [11]. 3.
