Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - The delay of the expected timing of the Fed's interest rate cuts, along with the successive interest rate cuts by central banks in Europe, the UK, and other countries, has strengthened the US dollar index. The easing of geopolitical conflicts in regions such as Ukraine and India-Pakistan may lead to a short - term adjustment in precious metal prices. However, the expected slowdown of the US economic growth, the future interest rate cut expectations of the Fed, and the continuous gold purchases by multiple central banks may cause precious metal prices to fluctuate and strengthen in the medium to long term. Investors are advised to focus on the arbitrage opportunity of short - term, light - position, high - level shorting of the "gold - silver ratio" [2]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Market Data - **Gold**: The closing price of Shanghai gold was 779.50 yuan/gram, with a change of - 2.23 compared to the previous value. The trading volume of spot Shanghai gold T + D was - 32,282.00, and the holding volume was 216,404.00. The closing price of COMEX gold futures active contract was 3248.30 US dollars/ounce, with a change of 18.70 compared to the previous value. The London gold spot price was 3324.55 US dollars/ounce, with a change of - 27.75 compared to the previous value [2]. - **Silver**: The closing price of Shanghai silver was 8100.00 yuan/kg, with a change of - 13.00 compared to the previous value. The trading volume of spot Shanghai silver T + D was - 199,344.00, and the holding volume was 3,499,912.00. The closing price of COMEX silver futures active contract was 32.65 US dollars/ounce, with a change of 0.28 compared to the previous value. The London silver spot price was 32.43 US dollars/ounce, with a change of 0.09 compared to the previous value [2]. - **Other Commodities and Financial Indicators**: The price of INE crude oil was 461.00 yuan/barrel, ICE Brent crude oil was 63.88 US dollars/barrel, and NYMEX crude oil was 58.98 US dollars/barrel. The Shanghai inter - bank offered rate SHIBOR overnight was 1.50%, and the one - year rate was 1.71%. The US 10 - year Treasury nominal yield was 4.3700%, and the TIPS yield was 2.0800%. Major stock indices such as the Shanghai Composite Index, S&P 500, and others also had corresponding price changes [2]. Important Information - **Geopolitical**: After the India - Pakistan cease - fire, there were explosions in the India - controlled Kashmir region. Ukraine plans to have an unconditional cease - fire for at least 30 days, and Putin proposed to resume Russia - Ukraine negotiations on May 15. Zelensky stated that Ukraine is ready for talks with Russia. The US and China agreed to establish an economic and trade consultation mechanism and will release a joint statement on May 12. Japanese Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru reiterated "zero tariffs" and demanded the US to completely cancel automobile tariffs [2]. - **Macroeconomic and Central Bank Policies**: The US Congress passed a temporary spending bill until September 30. The CBO predicts that the Treasury's funds may be depleted between August and October, which may slow down the Fed's balance - sheet reduction. The Trump administration plans to cut the 2026 fiscal budget by 163 billion US dollars. The European Central Bank cut interest rates by 25 basis points in April, the Bank of England cut interest rates by 25 basis points in May, and the Bank of Japan raised interest rates by 25 basis points in January. Different central banks have different future interest - rate adjustment expectations based on their respective economic data [2]. Trading Strategies - Investors are advised to focus on the arbitrage opportunity of short - term, light - position, high - level shorting of the "gold - silver ratio". For London gold, pay attention to the support level around 3150 - 3250 and the resistance level around 3500 - 3700; for Shanghai gold, pay attention to the support level around 750 - 770 and the resistance level around 850 - 900. For London silver, pay attention to the support level around 28 - 30 and the resistance level around 35 - 36; for Shanghai silver, pay attention to the support level around 7400 - 7800/8000 and the resistance level around 8600 - 8900 [2].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core View of the Report From the fundamental perspective, the consumption inflection point of finished products has emerged, the inventory reduction has significantly slowed down. The current Gangyin data shows that both cold and hot-rolled products are in a stockpiling trend, and there are signs of weakening supply and demand on the spot end. Coupled with market concerns about the decline in later exports, steel prices are operating weakly. In the short term, affected by the substantial progress in the Sino-US economic and trade high-level talks, sentiment may be boosted, but the rebound space is limited. Attention should be paid to the cost pressure of long-process production (3057), and cautious operation is recommended [7]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Conclusion and Balance Sheet - Last week, domestic steel spot prices declined. For example, the price of rebar in East China's Shanghai was 3150 yuan (-50), and that in Tangshan was 3170 yuan (-20); the price of hot-rolled coil in Shanghai was 3200 yuan (-40), and that in Tianjin was 3180 yuan (-20) [5]. - As of May 8, the overall output of five major steel products decreased by 9.52 tons, the factory inventory of the five major products increased by 19.62 tons month-on-month, and the social inventory increased by 9.35 tons.

From January to March 2025, the cumulative pig iron output was 216 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 0.8%, and the cumulative crude steel output was 259 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 0.6% [15]. 3.2 Supply and Demand Fundamentals 3.2.1 Supply - Long-process supply: The capacity utilization rate of blast furnaces of 247 steel enterprises was 92.1%, a slight increase of 0.09 from the previous period, with a month-on-month increase of 0.10%; the daily average pig iron output was 245.6 tons, an increase of 0.22 from the previous period, with a month-on-month increase of 0.09% [50]. - Short-process supply: As of May 8, the capacity utilization rate of 89 domestic electric arc furnace plants was 34.2% (+3.1); the iron-scrap price difference was -78.92 yuan (-1.4) [53]. - Scrap steel: The daily consumption of 255 sample steel plants was 54.5 tons, a month-on-month increase of 1.79 tons; the daily arrival of 255 steel plants was 50.4 tons, a month-on-month decrease of 1.64 tons; the total scrap steel inventory of 255 steel enterprises was 518.7 tons, a month-on-month decrease of 20.86 tons, or 3.9% [6]. - Rebar production: This week, the original sample rebar production was 223.53 tons (-9.58), including 197.22 tons of long-process production (-6.61) and 26.31 tons of short-process production (-3.24) [66]. 3.2.2 Demand - Building materials transactions: The trading volume of building materials in the northern, eastern, and southern regions showed certain fluctuations, but overall, the demand was relatively weak [69][71][73]. - Cement mill operating rate: The average operating load of national cement mills was 44.13%, a decrease of 4.17 percentage points from the previous week, and the decline rate widened by 3.43 percentage points. Affected by the weather, the demand in some southern provinces decreased, and the mill operation decreased. Overall, the demand was weak, and only a few regions in the northwest still had a slight seasonal increase [76]. - Real estate sales: The transaction area and year-on-year data of commercial housing in 30 cities showed certain fluctuations, reflecting the instability of the real estate market [78]. 3.2.3 Inventory - Rebar inventory: The original sample rebar factory inventory was 188.27 tons (+15.11), the social inventory was 465.36 tons (-5.48), and the total inventory was 653.63 tons (+9.63) [82]. - Hot-rolled coil inventory: This week, the hot-rolled coil production was 320.38 tons, a month-on-month increase of 1.08 tons; the apparent demand was 309.53 tons, a month-on-month decrease of 6.34 tons; in terms of inventory, the factory inventory decreased by 0.7 tons, the social inventory increased by 11.55 tons month-on-month, and the overall inventory decreased by 6.86 tons [85]. 3.2.4 Export As of May 9, the FOB export price of China was 462 US dollars (+5), and the export profit was +13.5 US dollars (+4.45); the outbound volume of major domestic ports (32 ports) was 299.52 tons (-65.37) [95].
