- Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - This week, London gold rose 0.09%, and London silver rose 2.05%. The gold - silver ratio dropped from 89.4 the previous week to 87.5, the 10 - year TIPS fell to 2.03%, the 10 - year nominal interest rate rose to 4.44% (2 - year 3.88%), and the US dollar index was 98.46 [5]. - Gold prices continued to fluctuate within a narrow range and rose slightly. The June CPI data slightly exceeded expectations, with the core CPI year - on - year at 2.9% and the overall CPI at 2.7%. The US economy showed resilience after the tariff shock. Gold is difficult to have a trending market, while the gold - silver ratio continued to decline, and silver broke through 9,000 yuan/kg. If it breaks through 9,000 yuan, it may reach around $40 in the third quarter, but there is still downward pressure on prices in the second half of the year due to the weakening demand for silver paste [5]. - The price of silver tends to be stronger relative to gold, and the gold - silver ratio may be frequently repaired. When silver breaks through, there may be a rapid upward movement, and the gold - silver ratio will continue to decline, with gold also being relatively strong [5]. 3.
