The electric machinery and equipment manufacturing sector, which has a significant export volume to the US, shows that tariff changes will not substantially affect overall electricity demand. Historical data from July 2018 to January 2020 indicates that the hydropower sector outperformed, while thermal power slightly lagged but still surpassed wind, solar, and nuclear power sectors. Recommended stocks include Yangtze Power and Sichuan Investment Energy in the hydropower sector, and Huadian International and Anhui Energy in the thermal power sector [6] - The recent tariff imposition by the US has led to a preemptive increase in consumer purchasing behavior, with March retail sales in the US showing a month-on-month growth of 1.4%, a significant rise from February's 0.2%. However, this surge may lead to a potential weakening of future retail demand, prompting the Federal Reserve to maintain a cautious stance in the short term [15]
