Core Viewpoint - The significant decline in profits is primarily due to increased cost and expense pressures, with short-term profit recovery remaining highly uncertain [3][72][74] Revenue and Profit Analysis - In May, industrial profits fell sharply by 11.9 percentage points year-on-year to 9%, with profit margins declining due to rising cost and expense pressures [3][72][74] - The cumulative revenue growth for industrial enterprises was 2.7% year-on-year, down from 3.2% previously, while cumulative profit showed a decline of 1.1% compared to a previous increase of 1.4% [2][8][71] - The actual operating income growth rate fell by 1.2 percentage points to 4.2%, contributing only 3.4% to overall profit growth [3][72][74] Cost Structure - The overall cost rate for industrial enterprises was 85.9%, an increase of 40 basis points year-on-year, with the coal and steel sectors experiencing a notable rise in cost rates [3][17][72] - The cost rate for the coal and metallurgy chain increased significantly, reflecting a rise in upstream costs due to falling coal and steel prices [3][17][72] Sector Performance - The coal and metallurgy chain's revenue growth turned negative, declining by 2.8 percentage points to -0.6% due to weak equipment updates and a slowdown in real estate infrastructure [4][73] - The petrochemical sector also saw a significant revenue decline, while the consumer manufacturing chain experienced a slight recovery, with revenue growth rising by 0.1 percentage points to 7.8% [4][73] Inventory Trends - The nominal inventory growth for industrial enterprises decreased by 0.4 percentage points to 3.5%, indicating a need for further recovery in terminal demand [6][59][74] - Actual inventory, excluding price factors, also fell by 0.1 percentage points to 7.0%, with downstream inventory growth showing a decline [6][59][74] Future Outlook - The coal and steel prices are expected to remain weak, impacting the profitability of the coal and metallurgy chain, with short-term profit recovery facing significant uncertainty [4][33][73] - Despite the challenges, the long-term trend of profit recovery remains intact, supported by ongoing domestic demand recovery [4][33][73]
世索科,推出市场首款不含氟表面活性剂的商业化全氟橡胶(FFKM)聚合物

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the launch of the first commercially available peroxidized-cured perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) polymer using proprietary non-fluorinated surfactant (NFS) technology by the company, addressing the industry's demand for high-performance, sustainable, and resilient supply chain solutions [1][2]. Group 1: Product Development - The new peroxidized-cured FFKM polymer enhances the existing non-fluorinated surfactant FFKM product line, specifically designed for semiconductor processes, and does not compromise product performance while meeting the strong demand for sustainability and supply chain resilience in seals and O-rings [2][4]. - The Tecnoflon® FFKM NFS product line, produced in Spinetta, Italy, is a result of years of research and development, with samples of Tecnoflon® PFR X7000 and X7100 now available for testing [4]. Group 2: Technical Specifications - The FFKM NFS solutions are suitable for both dry and wet manufacturing processes, providing excellent performance in harsh environments, including exposure to corrosive chemicals, temperatures exceeding 320°C, and strong plasma conditions [3]. - The superior chemical resistance of the peroxidized-cured FFKM NFS is crucial for various high-end applications in energy, transportation, and industrial sectors [4].

Core Viewpoint - The article analyzes the current easing of US-China tariff tensions, drawing parallels to the previous tariff phase under the Trump administration, highlighting the "irreplaceability" of Chinese manufacturing as a key theme [2][76]. Group 1: Underestimated Tariff Exemption Mechanism - The tariff exemption mechanism operates independently and is primarily initiated by US importers, not reliant on US-China negotiations [3][10]. - During the first tariff phase, the highest percentage of exempted goods reached 60%, with a total of 50 rounds of exemptions since 2018, amounting to a maximum of $118.3 billion [3][13]. - The current round of exemptions is implemented more rapidly than the previous phase, with the exemption list accounting for 26.5% of total US imports from China in 2024, including significant categories like mobile phones (40.3%) and computers (35.3%) [3][15]. Group 2: Reasons for Tariff Exemptions - Exempted products generally have a high dependency on Chinese imports, with significant exemption rates for items like rubber and plastics (62.9%) and furniture (62.2%) [4][20]. - Tariffs have led to increased industry costs, with a clear correlation between the proportion of goods subject to tariffs and the rise in Producer Price Index (PPI) for affected industries [4][25]. - The exemptions also aim to alleviate supply chain mismatches in the US, particularly in industries where domestic competitiveness has declined [5][30]. Group 3: Assessing the "Irreplaceability" of Chinese Manufacturing - Five perspectives are used to evaluate the "irreplaceability" of Chinese manufacturing, focusing on industries that are difficult to decouple from Chinese supply chains, such as machinery and electrical equipment [6][80]. - Industries with high import price increases and low reductions in dependency on Chinese goods, like rubber and plastics, indicate a persistent reliance on Chinese manufacturing [7][45]. - High price premiums for Chinese products in the US market, such as electric vehicles and consumer electronics, demonstrate their strong market competitiveness despite tariff pressures [8][51]. Group 4: Challenges in Indirect Decoupling - Certain industries, such as consumer electronics and textiles, face limited competition from alternative suppliers, making it difficult for the US to indirectly decouple from China [8][57]. - The overlap in product categories between US imports from China and other countries, such as Mexico and Vietnam, highlights the challenges in finding suitable replacements for Chinese goods [8][62].
