A survey of enterprises by the customs showed that over 70% of enterprises expected cross-border e-commerce import and export to remain stable or grow in 2025. Cinda Securities believes that the increasing penetration of online channels in overseas consumer markets will continue to be an important opportunity for Chinese brands to go global.

Ten new low-altitude logistics routes have been added in the region, and 2025 is expected to be the first year for the commercial application of the low-altitude economy to take root. According to media reports, the Hanshang Low-Altitude Port, which connects the core areas of the three towns of Wuhan (Wuchang, Hankou, and Hanyang) through flight service routes, has officially commenced operations. It is understood that the Hanshang Low-Altitude Port is constructed and operated by Hanshang Low-Altitude Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Hanshang Group. Currently, it has formed a specialized low-altitude logistics operation system comprising one digital real-time dispatching platform, two intelligent command centers, ten low-altitude routes, and 22 intelligent parking aprons. It primarily serves the distribution and emergency support of commodities such as seafood, fresh-cut flowers, and pharmaceuticals. Galaxy Securities believes that 2025 is expected to be the first year for the commercial application of the low-altitude economy to take root, with infrastructure such as air traffic control systems and takeoff and landing sites accelerating in construction. Kaiyuan Securities further analyzed that the low-altitude economy has ushered in vertical implementation from the macro level (national-level industrial planning) to the meso level (local subsidies in various regions) and then to the micro level (infrastructure mainframe tenders and application scenario creation). It is recommended to pay attention to the subsequent market trends of the low-altitude economy sector. 3. The region's first project of this kind has officially landed! Policy dividends are emerging, injecting strong momentum into foreign trade growth. According to media reports, recently, the Macun Port Customs under Haikou Customs successfully handled the customs clearance procedures for a cross-border bonded lease of a "Lancang" electric multiple unit (EMU) trainset declared by a leasing company within the Haikou Integrated Free Trade Zone, marking the official landing of Hainan Free Trade Port's first cross-border railway EMU leasing project. Currently, the EMU trainset has been delivered to Laos-China Railway Co., Ltd., effectively enhancing the passenger transport supply capacity of the Lao section of the China-Laos Railway and driving regional economic development. "Unlike previous direct sales and exports, the bonded lease approach significantly reduces the investment and operating costs for foreign enterprises. It also helps promote international cooperation and optimal resource allocation, providing more foreign enterprises with access to China's manufacturing resources and market opportunities," said a relevant person in charge of the leasing company. This business represents an important milestone in the company's cross-border leasing business layout. A relevant person in charge of Haikou Customs stated that the customs will strengthen communication and exchanges with various parties, including the Haikou Integrated Free Trade Zone and leasing companies, to further leverage the policy advantages of the Hainan Free Trade Port. By facilitating financing and customs clearance, it will promote industrial development and accelerate the "going global" of large-scale rail transit equipment made in China. According to statistics from Haikou Customs, as of late May this year, the import value of goods under Hainan Free Trade Port's three "zero-tariff" lists reached 22.69 billion yuan, with tax exemptions and reductions totaling 4.32 billion yuan. The early policy dividends of the Hainan Free Trade Port are emerging, injecting strong momentum into foreign trade growth. 4. Hard to Get a Ticket!

The tourism order volume in Nanjing, the provincial capital, led the country, while Suzhou and Yangzhou had both ranked among the top 10, showing a booming trend of "full bloom". The "Scottish Premiership Effect" was amplified by policy support and the platform economy, driving comprehensive growth in the cultural, tourism, sports, and commercial sectors in Jiangsu. The ongoing Jiangsu Provincial City Football League has recently attracted a large number of fans to attend the games. According to Future Report data, the global football market size reached $55.97 billion in 2024 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 3.9%, reaching $70.29 billion by 2030. Fang Guangzhao from Kaiyuan Securities believes that driven by both policy support and market demand growth, the Chinese football industry is expected to usher in a period of rapid development, and it is recommended to actively pay attention to investment opportunities related to the football industry chain. The development of the football industry is expected to drive demand for derivatives such as trading cards and sports lotteries. As a core component of the upstream events in the football industry chain, football clubs are expected to see their value continue to rise. In addition, with the rapid development of the football industry, the demand for high-grade football equipment and materials may increase significantly.

Jun 14, 2025 17:19Affected by the situation in the Middle East in recent days, international gold prices have strengthened in the short term. image On Friday, COMEX gold futures rose by 1.47%, accumulating a 3.18% increase for the week. After three consecutive days of strong gains, it has approached its previous high. On the news front, according to CCTV International News, on the morning of June 14 local time, the Israeli military stated that it had detected a fifth round of missile attacks launched by Iran and was intercepting them. This indicates that the conflict is ongoing. In the short term, geopolitical risks continue to boost market risk-averse sentiment, potentially providing further support for gold prices. Bank of America expects gold to rise to $4,000 per ounce within the next 12 months. Guojin Futures had previously also stated that the escalation of tensions in the Middle East would drive up gold prices. Although gold had seen some adjustments earlier, the downside potential was relatively small, with prices being constrained within a certain range over the long term. Hot topics will have an impact on gold prices. It is worth mentioning that a recent report by the European Central Bank showed that gold has surpassed the euro to become the second-largest reserve asset among global central banks, underscoring that gold, as a safe-haven asset, remains favored by global central banks. According to the European Central Bank's annual report on "The International Role of the Euro," the US dollar accounted for 46% of global foreign exchange reserves in 2024, a slight decrease from the previous year. The report stated that the share of gold in global foreign exchange reserves has significantly increased to 20%, surpassing the euro to become the second-largest reserve asset globally. This indicates that central banks tend to diversify their foreign exchange reserves and strive to mitigate geopolitical risks. Goldman Sachs also stated that the structurally strong gold-buying behavior of central banks will drive gold prices to reach $3,700 per ounce by the end of 2025 and $4,000 per ounce by mid-2026. Overall, as the situation in the Middle East unfolds, geopolitical risks may also become a key factor influencing the short-term trend of gold prices, causing them to hold up well.
