Tongzhou Market Information Brief, Week 4 of July 2021
I. Positive Factors
1) Domestic liquidity continues to be released.
2) Medium-term capacity release + low inventory in the industrial chain + high processing profits + supply bottlenecks (quotas, expected production cuts) + expectations of peak consumption season.
3) Price difference structure: The difference between futures and spot prices, and between domestic and international prices, is not extreme.
II. Negative Factors
1) Reduced risk appetite due to the gradually flattening yield curve + the peak of global liquidity has passed.
2) The peak of the global real economy has passed (PMI and other indicators).
3) The inventory data we see is high, but the spot market feels low. The difference between the two is called "interpretation." Perhaps the data is wrong, or perhaps there is hoarding, and any change in expectations will cause a change.
4) Time: High profits have persisted for a long time, and there is not much buying power left.
