Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - Last week, US inflation data showed that PPI turned negative month - on - month and CPI was slightly higher than expected. The inflation pressure on the production side eased, and consumer - side price increases were mainly driven by cars, clothing, and housing costs. The labor market significantly cooled, and the market increased bets on Fed rate cuts, expecting three cuts this year. Precious metals continued to rise, with COMEX gold futures breaking through $3,700 per ounce and COMEX silver futures breaking through $43 per ounce [3]. - In terms of capital, last week, COMEX gold inventory declined while COMEX silver inventory increased. The inflow of funds into gold and silver ETFs slowed down, and hedge funds increased their long positions in gold and silver [3]. - Geopolitical factors such as the Trump tariff case and Fed personnel changes continued to disrupt the market. If Trump's tariffs are ruled illegal, the US will face huge tax refunds, increasing fiscal pressure. The search for a new Fed chair is ongoing, and future Fed leadership will face major adjustments. Inflation may gradually show the impact of tariffs, and there is uncertainty in the second - half rate - cut path. With the continued Russia - Ukraine conflict, central banks and investors are increasing their holdings of precious metals, providing bottom support for precious metals. It is expected that precious metals will continue to fluctuate upward.
