Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The report analyzes various commodities in different sectors, including macro - finance, non - ferrous metals, precious metals and new energy, industrial products, and agricultural products, under the backdrop of the escalating Middle - East situation and other factors. It provides trend judgments and logic viewpoints for each commodity, suggesting corresponding investment strategies [1]. Summary by Related Catalogs Macro Finance - **Stock Index**: Pay attention to the emotional resonance of Asia - Pacific stock markets, especially the market - rescue strategies in South Korea, and the evolution of the Middle - East conflict. If the geopolitical situation eases, the short - term adjustment of the stock index will bring good long - position layout opportunities [1]. - **Treasury Bonds**: Asset shortage and weak economy are beneficial to bond futures, but the central bank has indicated short - term interest rate risks. Pay attention to the Bank of Japan's interest rate decision recently [1]. Non - Ferrous Metals - **Copper**: The deterioration of the Middle - East situation has suppressed market risk appetite, and the continuous accumulation of copper inventories at home and abroad has led to a weak adjustment of copper prices [1]. - **Aluminum**: Although the Middle - East situation has suppressed market risk appetite, the supply disturbance of electrolytic aluminum in the Middle - East has been increasing, and the rising energy prices have increased costs, so aluminum prices have continued to rise. Keep an eye on the supply disturbance in the Middle - East [1]. - **Alumina**: The operating capacity of domestic alumina has decreased, but the inventory has further accumulated, and it will operate in the short - term in a volatile manner [1]. - **Zinc**: The escalation of the conflict between the US, Israel and Iran has raised concerns about zinc ore supply in Iran, which may boost zinc prices in the short term. After the holiday, pay attention to the resumption of work and production of downstream industries [1]. - **Nickel**: Geopolitical risks have increased market risk aversion. The expectation of tightened RKAB quotas for nickel mines in Indonesia has resurfaced, and the approval of RKAB quotas is slow during Ramadan. Nickel ore premiums remain high. The nickel price may fluctuate widely, mainly affected by the resonance of the non - ferrous sector. It is suggested to go long at low prices and control risks [1]. - **Stainless Steel**: Raw material prices have risen after the holiday. Steel mills reduced production in February but plan to increase production significantly in March. Social inventories have increased after the holiday. The stainless - steel futures will fluctuate widely. Pay attention to the demand recovery after the holiday. It is recommended to look for long - position opportunities at low prices and control risks [1]. - **Tin**: The escalation of the Middle - East situation is beneficial to war metals, and tin is expected to continue to strengthen. In the short - term high - volatility situation, it is recommended that investors focus on risk management and profit protection [1]. Precious Metals and New Energy - **Precious Metals (Gold, Silver, Platinum)**: The inflation risk has eased, the conflict between the US and Iran continues, the US dollar index has declined, and precious metal prices have rebounded from the bottom. They are expected to stabilize and fluctuate in the short term [1]. - **Industrial Silicon**: Production in the northwest has increased while that in the southwest has decreased. The production schedules of polysilicon and silicone in December have declined [1]. - **Polysilicon**: It is recommended to take a wait - and - see attitude due to liquidity risks [1]. - **Lithium Carbonate**: Energy storage demand is strong, there is battery export rush, and there are disturbances at the mining end [1]. Industrial Products - **Steel Products (Rebar, Hot - Rolled Coil)**: The inventory of rebar is at a low level with weak demand expectations, and the price will fluctuate. The inventory of hot - rolled coil is at a historically high level, and it is necessary to test the de - stocking pressure. The price will fluctuate. After taking profit on the long - basis position, wait for the next entry opportunity [1]. - **Iron Ore**: There is significant upward pressure, and the oversupply logic remains unchanged. Wait for the price to rebound to the pressure level and then enter short - positions [1]. - **Coking Coal and Coke**: The fermentation of the geopolitical conflict has driven up the prices of energy - chemical products, which in turn has led to the strengthening of coking coal and coke. Although there is news of the first - round price cut for spot goods, the market is focused on the development of the Middle - East situation. Avoid short - positions in energy - related varieties and reduce long - positions in a timely manner. The industry can establish a cash - and - carry arbitrage position in the 05 contract [1]. - **Glass and Soda Ash**: The short - term supply and demand of glass are both weak, the expected reduction in supply has increased, and the cost is supported by the strengthening of energy prices due to the intensified geopolitical conflict. Soda ash mainly follows the trend of glass. In the short term, it is affected by the geopolitical conflict, and in the medium term, the supply - demand situation is looser, and the price is under pressure [1]. Agricultural Products - **Oils and Fats**: The sharp increase in crude oil prices will drive up the prices of oils and fats by increasing the demand expectation from the biodiesel end. However, the current fundamentals of oils and fats are under pressure, such as the high inventory of palm oil in Malaysia, the pressure of the production season and consumption off - season. Be vigilant against the decline of oils and fats after the stagnation of crude oil prices [1]. - **Cotton**: There is a strong expectation of a domestic new - crop harvest, and the purchase price of seed cotton supports the cost of lint. The downstream operating rate remains low, but the inventory of spinning mills is not high, and there is a rigid restocking demand. The cotton market is currently in a situation of "having support but no driving force". In the future, pay attention to the policies in the No. 1 Central Document in the first quarter next year, the intention of cotton - planting area next year, the weather during the planting period, and the demand during the peak seasons [1]. - **Sugar**: The global sugar market is in surplus, and the domestic new - crop supply has increased. There is a strong consensus among short - sellers. If the futures price continues to fall, there will be strong cost support below, but the short - term fundamentals lack continuous driving force. Pay attention to the changes in the capital side [1]. - **Corn**: The progress of grain sales at the grassroots level in the Northeast is relatively fast, and the pressure of ground - stored grain is expected to be limited. The downstream aquaculture inventory has not significantly decreased, which supports the feed demand. After the holiday, the inventories of channels and downstream are low, and the restocking demand supports the futures price to be strong in a volatile manner. However, be vigilant against the negative feedback of high corn prices, such as the release of policy grains like aged rice and the change in import policy orientation. Be cautious when going long unilaterally [1]. - **Soybean Meal**: The Middle - East conflict has brought a risk premium to commodities and increased freight rates. However, under the pressure of the Brazilian harvest, the FOB price of soybeans is under pressure. Under the suppression of the global large supply, the upward space of the soybean meal futures price is limited in the short term. In the later stage, pay attention to the release of Brazilian selling pressure, Sino - US trade dynamics, and domestic reserve release [1]. - **Paper Pulp**: There is no obvious positive news for softwood pulp during the Spring Festival, and the previous positive factors on the supply side have basically faded. It is expected to fluctuate in the range of 5200 - 5400 in the short term. Pay attention to the port inventory after the holiday [1]. - **Logs**: The spot price of logs has risen. The log arrival volume in February has decreased, and the expectation of an increase in the overseas offer price is relatively clear, so the futures price has an upward driving force [1]. - **Hogs**: The spot price has gradually stabilized recently. Supported by demand, the slaughter weight has not been fully cleared, and the production capacity still needs to be further released [1]. Energy Chemical - **Fuel Oil**: The escalation of the Middle - East situation due to the war between the US, Israel and Iran, the concern of oil and gas supply interruption caused by the obstruction of the Strait of Hormuz transportation, and the positive sentiment in the commodity market with the recovery of capital risk - appetite have affected the price [1]. - **Asphalt**: The import of Iranian asphalt has little impact on the domestic market, but the price of crude oil, which affects the cost, is transmitted to asphalt, and the impact in the energy varieties is relatively weak [1]. - **BR Rubber**: The cost end of butadiene has strong support, and the profit of private cis - butadiene rubber plants is still in a loss state, with an increased expectation of maintenance and production reduction. There is an expectation of phased inventory accumulation in the fundamentals of both BD and BR. Affected by the Middle - East geopolitics, the short - term futures price is expected to fluctuate widely, and there is an upward expectation in the long - term [1]. - **PTA**: Asian aromatics have been significantly strengthened by geopolitics, some overseas PTA factories are facing operational pressure due to poor profits, and the supply is expected to tighten from March to May when the major refinery turnaround season comes [1]. - **Ethylene**: Although the situation in Iran is unclear and the crude oil market is tense, the production profit rate of naphtha cracking has declined, and the demand for naphtha is continuously weak. Some large - scale ethylene production facilities are restarting or newly supplying [1]. - **Short - Fiber**: The domestic PTA maintains high - level operation, and the domestic demand has declined. The tense geopolitical situation in the Middle - East brings short - term energy price fluctuation risks, and the short - fiber price will continue to closely follow the cost fluctuations [1]. - **Styrene**: Geopolitical factors have worried the market about refinery load reduction. Although the production economy of factories remains stable, the demand is expected to gradually recover from the end of February [1]. - **Methanol**: The export sentiment has eased, and the domestic demand is insufficient, so the upward space is limited, but there is support from anti - dumping and the cost end. The Iranian import has a significant impact, and the conflict has caused some domestic methanol production facilities to stop work, but the domestic production is at a high level, and the inventory is at a historically high level [1]. - **PVC**: In 2026, there will be less global production capacity put into operation, and the differential electricity price in the Northwest is expected to be implemented, which will force the clearance of PVC production capacity, and the future expectation is optimistic. The intensification of geopolitical conflicts has increased freight rates, and the ethylene - based method is facing a shortage of raw materials [1]. - **LPG**: The 3 - month CP price is flat, and the near - month purchase is still relatively tight. The premium of the Middle - East geopolitical conflict has rebounded, and the PG trend is strong. The overseas cold - wave driving logic is gradually weakening, and the basis is expected to repair and expand. The domestic PDH operating rate has declined, and the profit is expected to seasonally recover, which suppresses the upward movement of the LPG futures price in the short term. The ports are continuously de - stocking, but the domestic civil LPG is sufficient, resulting in the differentiation of the internal and external market trends [1]. Others - **Shipping**: The price increase has generally stabilized, but it is currently affected by the war sentiment and is quite enthusiastic. The Houthi armed forces have regained control of the Red Sea, and airlines are expected to have a strong willingness to stop the price decline and increase prices after the off - season in March [1].

Group 1: Hot News - Iran-US third - round indirect talks ended. Iran's foreign minister said both sides were close to reaching a consensus in some areas, and technical talks will be held in Vienna next Monday. Oman's foreign minister said the talks "made significant progress", but media reported large differences remain [2] - In January 2026, Chinese - brand passenger cars sold 1.329 million units, a 32.1% month - on - month and 8.9% year - on - year decrease, accounting for 66.9% of the total passenger car sales, with a 1.5 - percentage - point lower share than the same period last year [2] - As of the week ending February 26, rebar production decreased from an increase, factory inventory increased for six consecutive weeks, social inventory increased for eight consecutive weeks, and apparent demand increased from a decrease.

US 2025/2026 net sales to China were 76,000 tons (416,000 tons the previous week), 2026/2027 net sales to China were 0 tons (0 tons the previous week) [3] - In January 2026, global alumina production was 13.094 million tons (12.953 million tons in the same period last year, 13.566 million tons in the previous month's revised value). China's alumina production in January was estimated at 7.86 million tons (8.17 million tons in the previous month's revised value) [3] Group 2: Key Focus - Key commodities to focus on are urea, coking coal, alumina, Shanghai copper, and PP [4] Group 3: Night - session Performance - Sector performance: Non - metallic building materials rose 2.00%, precious metals 34.12%, oilseeds 7.68%, coal - coke - steel - ore 9.80%, energy 2.61%, chemicals 10.21%, grains 1.09%, agricultural and sideline products 2.53%, soft commodities 2.78%, and non - ferrous metals 27.18% [4][5] Group 4: Sector Position - The chart shows the changes in commodity futures sector positions in the past five days [6] Group 5: Performance of Major Asset Classes - Equity: Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.01%, SSE 50 fell 0.65%, CSI 300 fell 0.19%, CSI 500 rose 0.35%, S&P 500 fell 0.54%, Hang Seng Index fell 1.44%, German DAX rose 0.45%, Nikkei 225 rose 0.29%, and UK FTSE 100 rose 0.37% [7] - Fixed - income: 10 - year Treasury bond futures fell 0.10%, 5 - year Treasury bond futures fell 0.08%, and 2 - year Treasury bond futures fell 0.03% [7] - Commodities: CRB commodity index fell 0.45%, WTI crude oil rose 0.05%, London spot gold rose 0.33%, LME copper was flat, and Wind commodity index fell 2.90% [7] - Others: US dollar index rose 0.13%, and CBOE volatility index was flat [7] Group 6: Major Commodity Trends - The document presents the trends of various commodities such as the Baltic Dry Index, CRB spot index, WTI crude oil, London spot gold and silver, LME copper, CBOT soybeans and corn, and related ratios like the gold - oil ratio and copper - gold ratio, as well as risk premiums [8]

1. Report Industry Investment Ratings No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views - During the Spring Festival, international oil prices continued to rise, with Brent and WTI crude oil reaching new highs since August 2025. Geopolitical risks, especially the tense situation between the US and Iran, are the main drivers of the oil price increase. The next two weeks will be a critical window for the situation, and geopolitical factors will continue to dominate the oil market [1]. - Precious metals showed strong performance during the Spring Festival. With the US - Iran negotiation making no substantial progress and the possibility of US strikes on Iran, the strength of precious metals may continue in the short - term [2]. - For most commodities, the market is affected by various factors such as geopolitical risks, supply - demand relationships, and seasonal patterns. Some commodities are expected to have price fluctuations, while others are likely to maintain a range - bound trend [3][4][5]. 3. Summary by Commodity Categories Energy Commodities - **Crude Oil**: During the Spring Festival, international oil prices rose significantly. Geopolitical risks, especially the tense US - Iran situation, are the main factors. The next two weeks are crucial for the situation, and oil prices will be dominated by geopolitical factors [1]. - **Fuel Oil & Low - sulfur Fuel Oil**: Due to the sharp rise in geopolitical risks between the US and Iran during the festival, oil prices soared. Fuel oil is expected to follow the upward trend. High - sulfur fuel oil is strongly supported by geopolitical factors, while low - sulfur fuel oil is relatively weak and mainly follows the trend of crude oil [21]. - **Asphalt**: International oil prices strengthened during the holiday, and asphalt is expected to start a catch - up rise on the first trading day after the festival. The asphalt market has a pattern of weak supply and demand, and its price follows the trend of crude oil [22]. Metal Commodities - **Copper**: LME copper prices were basically the same as before the holiday. During the domestic holiday, investment and physical demand were weak, and copper prices fluctuated. Copper inventories increased, and the copper market may strengthen the positive market structure. There is a risk that the unilateral copper price will adjust to the MA60 moving average to attract buyers [3]. - **Aluminum**: LME aluminum had limited fluctuations and a slight increase during the Spring Festival. After the festival, Shanghai aluminum is expected to have high - level oscillations. Attention should be paid to the inventory accumulation, demand recovery, and the impact of the US - Iran situation on the supply side [4]. - **Zinc**: LME zinc had high - level oscillations during the festival, with limited guidance for Shanghai zinc. After the festival, Shanghai zinc has weak rebound momentum due to short - term oversupply, but strong cost support. It is expected to oscillate between 24,000 - 25,000 yuan/ton. In the long - term, the oversupply situation remains, and the recovery of TC can be regarded as an opportunity for short - selling at high levels [7]. - **Lead**: The decline of LME lead slowed down near the cost line. After the festival, domestic lead prices are at a low level. Downstream purchases may increase, and recycled lead production has decreased. However, due to the opening of the import window, demand lacks an increase expectation. Shanghai lead is expected to have low - level oscillations between 16,500 - 17,500 yuan/ton [8]. - **Nickel & Stainless Steel**: Shanghai nickel is expected to open higher and then oscillate on the first trading day. During the holiday, the external market was generally strong, and factors such as the US tariff policy and economic data affected the market [9]. - **Tin**: LME tin had a slight increase compared to before the holiday and basically oscillated. The internal and external tin prices are supported by the MA60 moving average. LME tin inventories continued to increase slightly during the festival, and the spot discount narrowed. Tin prices are expected to continue to oscillate, and attention should be paid to the resumption of supply in the main production areas [10]. - **Carbonate Lithium**: Carbonate lithium still has optimistic sentiment in the short - term and is expected to have a strong - biased oscillation. The external market was strong during the holiday, and factors such as the US tariff policy and economic data are favorable [11]. - **Industrial Silicon**: Before the holiday, industrial silicon rebounded slightly after breaking through the previous low. After the holiday, it is expected to continue to oscillate. The supply side may see the resumption of production of large factories in Xinjiang, while the downstream demand is weak, and the social inventory is at a high level [12]. - **Polysilicon**: During the Spring Festival, spot trading was stagnant. Before the holiday, polysilicon futures had a slight increase and narrowed fluctuations. Although there is cost support, the market is expected to maintain an oscillating trend due to factors such as production reduction and inventory accumulation [13]. Ferrous Metals - **Steel (Thread & Hot - rolled Coil)**: During the Spring Festival, the external market generally rose, while the domestic spot market was on holiday. The demand for steel decreased, and the inventory accumulated. Due to factors such as poor steel mill profits and weak downstream demand, the iron - water output remained at a relatively low level. With the improvement of the financial market sentiment, the steel price has a certain rebound momentum after the festival [14]. - **Iron Ore**: During the holiday, overseas iron ore swaps weakened. The supply is relatively strong, and the market is worried about oversupply. Although the demand is expected to improve marginally, the supply pressure is greater, and the price is still under pressure [15]. - **Coke & Coking Coal**: During the holiday, the increase in oil prices may have an indirect impact on the black - series commodities. The inventory of coke increased slightly, and the purchasing willingness of traders was average. The carbon element supply is abundant, and the downstream demand is in the off - season. The prices of coke and coking coal are expected to oscillate in a range [16][17]. - **Manganese Silicon**: The increase in oil prices during the holiday may have an indirect impact. The spot price of manganese ore increased slightly, and the downward space of the disk is relatively small. The inventory of manganese ore in ports may start to increase slowly, and the demand side is at a seasonal low level. The price is affected by oversupply and policy expectations [18]. - **Silicon Ferrosilicon**: The increase in oil prices during the holiday may have an indirect impact. Some production areas have a decrease in power costs, and the demand side is at a low level. The export demand is stable, and the supply changes little. The price is affected by oversupply and policy expectations [19]. Chemical Commodities - **Urea**: During the Spring Festival, the supply of urea remained at a high level, and production enterprises are expected to accumulate inventory seasonally. With the increase in temperature, the demand for agricultural fertilizer preparation is expected to start, and the production enterprises are expected to reduce inventory after the festival. The short - term market is likely to oscillate and rebound [23]. - **Methanol**: The overseas methanol plant operating rate remains low, and the import volume is expected to decrease after the Spring Festival. The coastal MTO plant operating rate is low, and attention should be paid to the profit repair and restart expectations after the festival. The traditional downstream will resume work one after another, and the inventory in the inland and ports is expected to decrease [24]. - **Pure Benzene**: The instability of the US - Iran situation provides support for the cost of pure benzene. The supply during the Spring Festival is relatively high, and the inventory in the East China port is expected to remain at a high level. The downstream demand is expected to improve, and the port inventory may decrease slowly [25]. - **Styrene**: The increase in international oil prices during the holiday boosted the cost of styrene, and it may open higher. However, the supply is expected to increase significantly after the festival, while the downstream demand recovery needs time, and the fundamental contradiction is intensified [26]. - **Polypropylene & Plastic**: The increase in international oil prices during the holiday may boost the opening price after the festival. However, due to the inventory accumulation of polyolefin petrochemical enterprises during the Spring Festival and the slow recovery of downstream production enterprises, the fundamental contradiction is intensified [27]. - **PVC & Caustic Soda**: The PVC industry is in the seasonal inventory accumulation stage. The cost support is strengthened, and the demand for export is strong. The price is expected to rise. The profit of caustic soda has declined significantly, and the cost support is strengthened. The supply may decrease, and the price is expected to operate near the cost [28]. - **PX & PTA**: The strong oil price provides cost support. PX has new capacity in the second half of the year, while PTA has none. In the first half of the year, it is advisable to take a long position. Based on the PX maintenance and polyester production increase expectations in the second quarter, opportunities for long - term PX processing spreads and positive spreads after the decline of the month - spread can be considered [29]. - **Ethylene Glycol**: Ethylene glycol is under long - term pressure due to new capacity, but the supply is expected to shrink, and the downward space is limited. In the second quarter, the supply - demand situation may improve due to centralized maintenance and increased demand [30]. - **Short - fiber & Bottle - grade Chips**: Before the holiday, the production of short - fiber and bottle - grade chips decreased, and the inventory was at a low level. After the holiday, the production is expected to increase. Attention should be paid to the terminal production resumption and inventory preparation rhythm [31]. Agricultural Commodities - **Soybean, Soybean Meal & Rapeseed Meal**: During the Spring Festival, US soybeans continued to be strong. The export and crushing data were good, which boosted the price. The supply - demand balance sheet for the 26/27 US soybean season shows a tightening supply - demand structure [35][37]. - **Soybean Oil, Palm Oil & Rapeseed Oil**: During the Spring Festival, US soybean oil and Malaysian palm oil continued to be strong. The increase in the price of US RIN has a strong driving effect on US soybean oil. The supply - demand balance sheet for the 26/27 US soybean season shows a tightening structure. The short - term upward movement of palm oil has resistance. The export of Canadian rapeseed has improved, and attention should be paid to the policy orientation [36]. - **Corn**: During the Spring Festival, the US is expected to plant less corn in 2026. The US corn futures price oscillated during the holiday. In China, some enterprises in the Northeast started purchasing after the Spring Festival. The trading volume of Dalian corn futures may increase, and attention should be paid to risks [38]. - **Pigs**: After the Spring Festival, the average price of live pigs decreased compared to before the festival. The supply in the spot market is sufficient, and the futures price is expected to continue to weaken. Attention should be paid to the implementation of the pig production capacity reduction logic in the medium - term [39]. - **Eggs**: After the Spring Festival, the egg price decreased slightly. Considering the expected decline in supply in spring, there is a possibility of the futures price continuing to strengthen. It is recommended to go long on the near - month contract at a low price [40]. - **Cotton**: During the Spring Festival, US cotton was strong. The global supply in the 25/26 season is relatively loose, but there is an expectation of supply contraction in the 26/27 season. The domestic cotton market has a good sales situation, and the medium - term Zhengzhou cotton price may be strong [41]. - **Sugar**: During the holiday, US sugar oscillated. In the international market, India's sugar production increased, while Thailand's production was lower than expected. In the domestic market, the market focus is on the expected difference in production. Although the production in Guangxi is currently slow, there is a strong expectation of production increase in the 25/26 season [42]. - **Apples**: The futures price oscillated. The cold - storage trading volume decreased, and the market focus is on the demand side. The high purchase price and the strong reluctance to sell of traders and fruit farmers may affect the inventory reduction speed [43]. - **Wood**: The futures price is at a low level. The supply is expected to decrease in the short - term, and the demand has declined. The low inventory provides certain support, and it is advisable to wait and see for the time being [44]. - **Paper Pulp**: The domestic paper pulp port inventory is still at a high level. The overseas quotation is strong, providing cost support, but the demand is average. The downstream paper mills are cautious about high - price raw material inventory, and attention should be paid to the demand performance after the festival [45]. Financial Products - **Stock Index**: Before the long holiday, A - share major indexes fell by more than 1%, and stock index futures were all at a discount. During the Spring Festival, the Hong Kong stock market was strong, while the overseas stock markets fell. There are uncertainties in trade policies and geopolitical situations. After the festival, the market may maintain a strong - biased oscillation, and attention should be paid to the performance of the technology - growth and cyclical sectors [46]. - **Treasury Bonds**: On February 13, 2026, the treasury bond futures showed a differentiated trend. The long - term contracts are over - priced, and the central bank's bond - buying has not ended, with a strong willingness to maintain the capital market.

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the large-scale tariff policy implemented by the Trump administration was illegal, effectively pausing the ongoing trade war. This decision has led to significant market reactions and fears among U.S. farmers and investors regarding the future of U.S. agricultural exports, particularly soybeans, to China [1][3]. Group 1: Impact on U.S. Agriculture - The U.S. soybean industry is heavily affected, with exports to China previously accounting for up to 60% of total production. Following the Supreme Court ruling, fears arose that China would shift to purchasing cheaper soybeans from Brazil, which has established a stable supply chain [1][3]. - U.S. farmers are struggling with low profits and high costs for imported agricultural machinery and fertilizers due to tariffs, leading to a cycle of increased production but greater losses [3]. - The agricultural sector is facing its fourth consecutive year of low profits, despite high production levels, exacerbated by the tariff-induced price increases of essential farming inputs [3]. Group 2: Consumer Impact - U.S. consumers are beginning to realize that they are bearing the costs of the tariffs, with prices for everyday goods, appliances, and vehicles rising significantly. Research indicates that the costs of tariffs are primarily shouldered by U.S. importers and consumers rather than foreign suppliers [6]. - The dissatisfaction among consumers and farmers could translate into political consequences in the upcoming midterm elections, particularly in the Midwest, where soybean farmers have traditionally supported the Republican Party [8]. Group 3: International Relations and Responses - The unilateral tariff policies have strained relationships between the U.S. and its allies, with many countries reconsidering their economic ties with the U.S. and seeking closer cooperation with China [10]. - Japan has shown a submissive stance, continuing to pursue investment in the U.S. despite the Supreme Court ruling against the tariff agreement, indicating a willingness to compromise for potential tariff relief [12]. - The EU has publicly criticized Trump's unilateralism but has not taken substantial retaliatory actions, instead opting to appease the U.S. for tariff exemptions due to its deep economic reliance on the U.S. market [14][20]. Group 4: Responses from Developing Countries - Developing countries, particularly in Southeast Asia and Latin America, have shown a tendency to acquiesce to U.S. tariff demands due to their economic vulnerabilities and reliance on the U.S. dollar for trade [18][21]. - India initially adopted a strong stance but ultimately succumbed to U.S. pressure, reflecting the broader trend of developing nations lacking the capacity to resist U.S. tariffs [22]. Group 5: China's Countermeasures - In contrast to other nations, China has taken a firm stand against U.S. tariffs, implementing retaliatory measures that directly target U.S. interests, including imposing equivalent tariffs on U.S. imports and controlling rare earth exports critical to U.S. military applications [24][26]. - China's strategy includes diversifying its export markets away from the U.S., resulting in a significant reduction in the trade deficit with the U.S. and record-high overall exports [28][35]. - The comprehensive industrial system in China allows it to maintain stability and independence from U.S. pressures, making it less vulnerable to tariff impacts compared to countries heavily reliant on the U.S. market [37][38].
