Coffee prices rose 9.8% from April to August due to tariffs, including a 3.6% surge last month. Poor harvests earlier this year had tightened supplies, but prices rose even faster after new import tariffs took effect. Because the United States consumes less than 1% of coffee, the market is particularly vulnerable to import tariffs. Global tariffs started at 10% in April and were subsequently increased sharply for major suppliers such as Vietnam and Indonesia. Brazil - which supplies more than a third of the United States' Arabica beans - was hit with a 50% tariff on August 6, industry groups say. The sudden move is likely to continue to push up coffee prices in the coming months.

[Huatai Securities: A-share target selection moderately returns to cost-effectiveness and prosperity] On September 15, Huatai Securities Research Report stated that last week, A-shares turned up after briefly digesting the pressure of profit-taking, setting a new stage high.

[Citi: Dining plans indicate easing financial pressure on Australian households] Citi analysts believe that the investment bank's latest survey of Australian shoppers provides more evidence that household financial pressures are easing. The analysts pointed out that the August survey showed that the proportion of shoppers who planned to increase their spending on home meal preparation had decreased. The survey also showed that the number of shoppers who expected to spend less on takeaway food had also decreased. The analysts told clients in a report that given that dining at home usually increases when consumers are under pressure, this survey result is consistent with the view that household conditions are improving.

Korean hybrid car production capacity is impacted and prices are expected to rise, potentially making them less competitive in the US market than Japanese models. If the US tariff on Japanese cars is reduced from 27.5% to 15% on the 16th, Nissan cars will be priced lower in the US market than Korean models like Hyundai. This means that due to the deadlock in tariff negotiations between the South Korean and US governments, Korean cars, currently subject to the 25% US tariff, may become more expensive than their Japanese competitors. Of particular note, electric vehicle subsidies in the US market are set to expire at the end of this month, and demand for hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), as an alternative, is expected to grow. However, Hyundai Motor Group has no HEV production lines in the US and will be forced to bear the full impact of the tariffs, putting it in a difficult position. Hyundai Motor also faces another challenge: the construction of the Hyundai-LG Energy Solution battery plant in Georgia has encountered setbacks, which will inevitably lead to battery supply disruptions. Hyundai Motor President Jose Muñoz has officially confirmed that the plant's start of production will be delayed by at least two to three months.

[Weak New Zealand services data suggests a slowdown in economic recovery] New Zealand's services sector contracted for the 18th consecutive month in August, suggesting the economic rebound in the third quarter may be slower than expected. Data showed that the performance of services index fell to 47.5 from 48.9 in July. The index has not been above 50 since February last year, a sign of expansion. Data released this week is expected to show that GDP shrank in the second quarter. But the Reserve Bank of New Zealand and most economists expect the economy to rebound in the second half of the year starting in the third quarter as lower interest rates stimulate consumer spending and business investment. Doug Steel, senior economist at the Bank of New Zealand, said: "Across the economy, we still believe that overall signs of a turning point have appeared. However, the ensuing rebound will take longer than currently expected, which is a very real risk."

[Under Trump's Pressure, Fed Debate Expected to Shift to the Pace of Rate Cuts] The Federal Reserve is expected to resume rate cuts for the first time in nine months in response to a slowing labor market, stubborn inflation, and unprecedented pressure from US President Trump to lower rates. However, this week's rate cut does not necessarily signal the start of a sustained cycle of rate cuts. A series of disappointing data has heightened concerns that the labor market could be heading for a deeper slowdown, which could drag down consumer spending and economic growth. However, inflation remains above the Fed's 2% target, and tariffs could further push up prices. These factors could lead some policymakers to worry about moving too quickly. Former Philadelphia Fed President Pat Harker stated that the first action, as expected on September 17th, would typically mark the beginning of a cycle of rate hikes or cuts. However, this time, "it's unclear whether this cycle will be clearly initiated." Disagreement among Fed officials over the next move could result in multiple dissenting votes, with some arguing for no rate cut and others calling for a larger reduction. This could be the first meeting with three dissenting votes since 2019, and possibly even the first since 1990 with four dissenting votes.

Capital Economics: Japan's exports may decline further in August. Capital Economics says Japan's August trade data may indicate that exports have yet to bottom out. Export values fell slightly in July, and Bank of Japan estimates suggest a corresponding decline in export volumes. Senior economist Abhijit Surya wrote that preliminary data for the first 20 days of August suggest a deeper decline in exports last month. Early data from some of Japan's major trading partners in the region suggest that exports to these countries have held up quite well, suggesting that weakening US demand will once again be the primary driver of the decline in export revenue. The trade data will be released on Wednesday.

【CICC: Continue to be bullish on energy storage and lithium battery sectors, and pay attention to the long-term application trend of green alcohol】 CICC research report stated that in terms of energy storage, it continues to focus on recommending the energy storage sector. Recently, Shandong's mechanism electricity price has been significantly discounted, and owners' willingness to voluntarily allocate storage has increased; Ningxia has introduced capacity electricity prices after Gansu, which will help owners' investment enthusiasm. In terms of lithium batteries, the lithium battery sector has already delivered on the 2025 market demand exceeding expectations. The current core contradiction is whether the demand forecast for 2026 will continue to be revised upward. We will continue to pay attention to energy storage bidding and installation data, the confidence level of the 2026 guidance, the continuation of policies such as the 2026 car trade-in, and lithium battery production information. Continue to be bullish on lithium batteries and energy storage. In terms of hydrogen energy, the industry trend of SOFC (solid oxide fuel cells) brought about by the gap in electricity demand in North America is still being verified and strengthened. We continue to be optimistic about the cost advantage of SOFC cost reduction; the long-term application trend of green alcohol is an inevitable result of shipping decarbonization. IMO rules are accelerating the progress of parity and increasing industry space.

[Moody's: New Zealand's economy is expected to see zero growth or weak growth in the second quarter] Moody's Analytics said in a report that New Zealand's economy is expected to record zero growth or weak growth of 0.1% quarter-on-quarter in the second quarter. The agency said that households and businesses have become cautious, thus halting the rapid recovery momentum seen in the fourth quarter of last year and the first quarter of this year. The agency added that tariffs and global uncertainty may cause companies to cut investment and recruitment, which can be seen from business confidence indicators. The country's economy grew by 0.8% in the first quarter, far higher than the 0.4% growth forecast by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. GDP data will be released on Thursday.

According to the Xinhua Daily Telegraph, the ongoing controversy surrounding Luo Yonghao's complaints about Xibei's pre-prepared meals has brought the industry's long-standing trust crisis to the public's attention. Consumers' concerns about the safety, nutritional value, and value of pre-prepared meals stem from a long history of information opacity, widely varying standards, and inconsistent regulatory enforcement. To regain consumer trust, pre-prepared meals need to be exposed to the public eye. Pre-prepared meals are not a scourge; they were once considered conducive to the standardization of Chinese cuisine, improving efficiency, and reducing costs. Consumers are resisting not innovation in business and service models, but rather the perceived deprivation of choice and the disregard for their right to be informed. Many catering companies are concealing the use of pre-prepared meals and selling them as "freshly made," exacerbating the consumer trust crisis. While the State Administration for Market Regulation and other departments have issued a notice clarifying that preservatives are not permitted in pre-prepared meals, due to varying local standards and regulatory oversight, there are no firm controls on the use of additives in pre-prepared meals. It's worth noting that national regulations don't include dishes prepared in central kitchens within the scope of pre-prepared meals. However, many consumers simply assume that anything not freshly made is pre-prepared. While these vendors' justifications for "not being pre-prepared" are legal, they fail to meet consumers' expectations for the smoky, homey flavor of "hot-pot" cooking. Breaking this trust dilemma requires a multi-faceted effort. Regulatory authorities should strengthen food safety oversight of pre-prepared meals, standardizing the use of food additives and ensuring safety. Restaurants should also promote clear labeling of pre-prepared meals, ensuring consumers clearly understand whether they are pre-prepared. Only by eliminating fraud through transparency, replacing disorder with standardization, and prioritizing quality over cost can pre-prepared meals overcome their trust crisis and become a safe and convenient dining option for modern consumers. This transformation requires the perseverance of businesses, the diligence of regulators, and the critical scrutiny of consumers. The road to rebuilding trust is long, but pre-prepared meals lack this foundation.
