Investment Rating - The report does not explicitly provide an overall investment rating for the industry, but it suggests a positive outlook for precious metals, particularly gold, due to its role as a hedge against geopolitical risks and inflation [6][44]. Core Insights - Precious metals, especially gold, are expected to benefit from increased demand due to geopolitical tensions and trade disputes, with a long-term bullish outlook supported by rising U.S. deficits and weakened debt credit [6][44]. - Industrial metals like copper and aluminum face short-term price fluctuations due to tariff impacts but are expected to see long-term price increases due to supply constraints and rising demand from the renewable energy sector [6][45]. - Strategic minor metals such as antimony and tungsten are likely to experience price elasticity due to supply reductions and demand upgrades, particularly in the context of global trade tensions [10][44].
