Group 1: Gold Price Trends - Since June, gold prices have shown a pattern of rising and then retreating, with a notable increase following President Trump's announcement to raise steel and aluminum tariffs, but subsequently declining [1] - From late April, gold prices have consistently retreated from a high of $3400 per ounce to below $3200 per ounce, while domestic gold prices fell from 800 yuan per gram to below 750 yuan per gram, indicating significant profit-taking by long positions [1][2] - The high retreat in gold prices is attributed to both substantial gains in April and a diminishing impact of U.S. tariff policies, leading to a higher market risk appetite [1] Group 2: Global Equity Market Recovery - Following the uncertainty post-Trump's inauguration, global equity markets experienced a downturn, while gold prices surged; however, since late April, gold prices have retreated as global equity markets began to recover [2] - The easing of expectations regarding U.S. tariff policies, particularly after the May 12 joint statement from the U.S., China, and Japan, contributed to the decline in gold prices back to pre-tariff levels [2] - Macro indicators show signs of economic recovery, with improvements in manufacturing PMIs in China and the Eurozone, suggesting a potential upward trend in global markets [2] Group 3: Silver Market Dynamics - The gold-silver ratio has significantly declined in June, primarily due to an increase in silver prices, indicating a decrease in market risk aversion [3] - The rise in silver prices is attributed to a recovery in industrial demand, with notable increases in copper and crude oil prices as well [3] - Historically, significant increases in silver prices often occur in the latter stages of a gold price rally, typically following a crisis and coinciding with a recovery in industrial demand [3] Group 4: Market Outlook - In the long term, the trend for gold remains upward despite current pressures, influenced by trends of de-dollarization and weak performance of the U.S. dollar and bonds [4] - Short-term strategies should focus on market rhythm, as easing U.S. tariff impacts may lead to a continued decline in risk aversion, putting pressure on gold prices [4] - Silver, benefiting from its industrial applications, is expected to continue its upward trajectory in a recovering economy, especially as it breaks out of a year-long trading range [4]
