宏源期货王文虎：贵金属市场短期存在利空，长期“牛市”逻辑未改

Core Viewpoint - The global monetary and fiscal easing expectations are providing strong support for precious metal prices, while certain precious metal varieties face potential short-term negative disturbances [1] Group 1: Monetary Policy Impact - The monetary policy direction of major global economies is a core factor influencing the commodity market. The Federal Reserve has entered a rate-cutting phase, with expectations of a 25 basis point cut in both 2026 and 2027, and has recently conducted technical balance sheet expansion to maintain liquidity [2] - There is uncertainty regarding the Federal Reserve's monetary policy path, particularly with potential shifts towards "pragmatic monetarism" which may impact market liquidity expectations and disturb precious metal prices [2] - Other major economies are also adjusting their monetary policies, with the Bank of England expected to cut rates by December 2025 and the Bank of Japan potentially raising rates to 0.75% around the same time, creating a generally loose liquidity environment that supports a "bull market" for precious metals [2] Group 2: Long-term Factors Supporting Precious Metals - Global debt and fiscal deficit expansion, along with ongoing central bank gold purchases, are long-term bullish factors for the precious metals market. Gold prices show a strong correlation with the total debt of major global economies [3] - Despite facing short-term negative factors, the long-term core trading logic for gold and silver remains unchanged, driven by global "reflation" trades, monetary policy uncertainties, and geopolitical risks [3] - Continuous increases in gold reserves by central banks, particularly the People's Bank of China since November 2024, provide significant physical demand support for gold prices [3] Group 3: Platinum and Palladium Market Dynamics - The global platinum market is increasingly recognized for its "new energy metal" attributes, with supply constraints due to high mining costs and aging production equipment, while demand is supported by stricter automotive emissions standards [4] - The palladium market is characterized by oligopolistic supply and tightening conditions, but faces long-term demand pressures from the shift towards electric vehicles, which may lead to a more relaxed supply-demand balance by 2026 [4] - Both platinum and palladium are critical industrial and new energy metals, with their supply-demand dynamics evolving due to the energy structure transition [5]
