Group 1 - The U.S. Department of Commerce has imposed a 50% tariff on 407 types of steel and aluminum derivative products, indicating a deepening of trade protectionism [3] - This policy aims to protect the domestic steel and aluminum industries while posing new challenges to global supply chains and related sectors, affecting a wide range of industries from wind turbines to automotive parts [3] - The tariff policy may serve as a catalyst for adjusting trade relations, prompting countries to reassess their positions within global supply chains [3] Group 2 - The imposition of tariffs is expected to raise inflation expectations, exacerbate trade tensions, and increase economic uncertainty, which overall benefits silver prices [3] - Despite potential short-term pressure from a strengthening dollar, rising safe-haven demand and heightened inflation expectations are likely to drive silver prices higher [3] - In the silver market, key resistance levels are identified in the 8.651-8.800 range, while support levels are noted in the 8.400-8.573 range [4]

据央视新闻报道，当地时间周二(8月19日)， 美国商务部宣布，将407个产品类别纳入钢铁和铝关税清单，适用税率为50%。 据美国商务部周二确认，新关税已于本周一生效，大幅扩张了此前特朗普针对关键大宗商品宣布的征税范围。 不 过 ， 商 务 部 发 布 的 清 单 仅 以 具 体 的 海 关 编 码 标 注 新 增 产 品 ， 而 非 产 品 名 称 。 例 如 ， 灭 火 器 这 一 类 产 品 在 清 单 中 仅 被 标 注 为"8424.10.0000"，是数百个10位编码中的一项。这种呈现方式让公众难以全面了解究竟哪些产品受到了本轮关税扩展的影响。 专家警告称，此次加征关税影响将十分巨大。 密歇根州立大学供应链管理教授杰森·米勒表示，按2024年进口货值计算，受关税波及的进 口商品已至少达3200亿美元。"7月生产者价格指数(PPI)已经抬头，新关税将进一步推高成本型通胀。" 这一突如其来的决定令许多美国进口商陷入两难境地：许多货物已付讫货款并正在运输途中。若选择接收，则需补缴高额关税；若指示船运 公司在美港口不卸货以避免关税，则很可能面临巨额损失。 今年6月份，特朗普宣布将大多数国家的钢铝进口关税翻倍 ...

全球货运巨头德迅集团海关副总裁Brian Baldwin评论称："汽配、化工、塑料、家具零件，只要闪烁金 属光泽、或与钢铝沾边，基本都在清单上，这是一种在钢铝衍生品监管方式上的战略转变。" 不过，商务部发布的清单仅以具体的海关编码标注新增产品，而非产品名称。例如，灭火器这一类产品 在清单中仅被标注为"8424.10.0000"，是数百个10位编码中的一项。这种呈现方式让公众难以全面了解 究竟哪些产品受到了本轮关税扩展的影响。 据央视新闻报道，当地时间周二(8月19日)，美国商务部宣布，将407个产品类别纳入钢铁和铝关税清 单，适用税率为50%。 据美国商务部周二确认，新关税已于本周一生效，大幅扩张了此前特朗普针对关键大宗商品宣布的征税 范围。 据悉，此次新增清单涵盖范围广泛，包括风力涡轮机及其部件、移动起重机、铁路车辆、家具、压缩机 与泵类设备等数百种产品，这些产品要么由钢铝制成，要么包含钢铝部件。 美国商务部工业与安全事务副部长杰弗里·凯斯勒声明称："今天的行动扩大了钢铁和铝关税的覆盖范 围，旨在堵住规避通道，持续振兴美国钢铝产业。" 特朗普政府已多次强调要扩大钢铝关税覆盖范围，以保护国内制造业并遏制进口依 ...
