Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. Core View of the Report - The U.S. April non - farm payroll data was unexpectedly strong, Trump indicated a tariff cut on China, and the Fed maintained policy independence, leading to a decline in market risk - aversion and a correction in gold prices. However, U.S. tariff policies have raised market concerns about a hard - landing of the economy, increasing the expected number of interest rate cuts this year. The Fed remains hawkish, and market expectations of a July rate cut, along with central bank gold - buying demand and risk - aversion, support precious metal prices. Due to the expected volatility of U.S. tariff policies, prices are likely to be in an adjustment state. Attention should be paid to the Fed's May interest rate decision on Thursday [10]. - It is recommended to trade cautiously, and consider a strategy of building positions at low prices after a full price correction, with reference to the operating ranges of Shanghai Gold 06 contract (758 - 800) and Shanghai Silver 06 contract (7600 - 8500) [11].
