1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information about the industry investment rating in the provided reports. 2. Core Views of the Report - Today, precious metals showed a weak and fluctuating trend, with the main contract of Shanghai Gold closing up 0.32% and the main contract of Shanghai Silver closing up 0.54%. The short - term core logic is that the phased achievement of trade agreements and the start of Russia - Ukraine talks have led to a decline in safe - haven demand, while the risk of stagflation in the US economy has increased, employment has weakened, inflation has been moderate, and the expectation of Fed rate cuts has rebounded. It is expected that precious metals will be weak and fluctuating in the short term, oscillate at a high level in the medium term, and rise step - by - step in the long term [1]. - The price trend of gold is the anchor for the price of silver. In terms of capital, the net long position of CFTC silver and iShare silver ETF have slightly reduced their positions. In terms of inventory, the visible inventory of silver has slightly increased recently [5]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Gold - Market Performance: Shanghai Gold main contract closed up 0.32%, and relevant international and domestic gold prices showed different changes.

The US economy faces stagflation risks, with weak employment and moderate inflation, leading to a rebound in Fed rate - cut expectations. In terms of safe - haven attributes, meetings between US and Russian leaders and tariff truces have affected the market. In terms of monetary attributes, strong US retail sales and rising wholesale prices in July have added uncertainties to the Fed's rate - cut roadmap. The market's expectation of a Fed rate cut in September has soared from about 40% before the non - farm payrolls report to over 80%, and the expected number of rate cuts within the year has increased from 1 to 2 - 3 times. In terms of commodity attributes, the rebound of the CRB commodity index is under pressure, and the strong RMB suppresses domestic prices [1]. - Strategy: Conservative investors are advised to wait and see, while aggressive investors can buy low and sell high. Good position management and strict stop - loss and take - profit are recommended [2]. Silver - Market Performance: Shanghai Silver main contract closed up 0.54%.
