Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints - The tariff situation has slightly heated up, but the uncertainty has decreased. Some long - position holders chose to take profits, causing the precious metals market to decline under pressure. The recent economic "soft data" in the US, such as inflation expectations and consumer confidence, has significantly improved compared to the initial period of tariff announcements. As the overall tariff uncertainty has slowed down, countries are reaching agreements with the US through negotiation and compromise, leading to a continuous increase in market risk appetite. The VIX volatility index is at a low level, and the upward movement of gold prices has been continuously hindered [2]. - Driven by the strong performance in June (+$7.6 billion), global gold ETF holdings increased by $38 billion in the first half of 2025. Against the backdrop of global geopolitical uncertainty, the safe - haven investment demand for gold remains relatively stable. Whether core countries can reach an agreement with the US before the deadline is the key factor for the subsequent trend of gold prices. If the trade negotiations progress optimistically, gold prices may continue to be under pressure [2]. - The formal passage of Trump's "Big and Beautiful" bill has intensified market concerns about the long - term fiscal problems of the US government, which may accelerate the global de - dollarization process, weaken the demand for the US dollar as a traditional safe - haven asset, and boost the monetary attribute of gold [2]. - In the case of silver, the global de - stocking cycle has led to a continuously tight supply - demand structure. Coupled with the dovish stance of the Federal Reserve helping to repair its industrial attribute, silver prices are expected to remain resilient. There is still some room for the gold - silver ratio to repair, but short - term correction risks need to be noted [2]. 3.
