Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information about the report industry investment rating is provided in the given content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - On Thursday, precious metal prices fluctuated and rebounded. The sharp increase in the number of laid - off employees by Challenger companies in the US, with the technology and warehousing and logistics industries being the most affected, led to the dollar index falling below 100 during the day, a slight decline in US stocks, and most metals oscillating upwards [1][3]. - Precious metal prices currently lack significant drivers and are expected to maintain a volatile pattern in the short term. Attention should be paid to the trading window in December. Before and after the December FOMC meeting, there may be a game about the rate - cut space for next year. In the long term, excessive debt issuance and de - globalization are the core factors driving the decline of the US dollar's credit. Gold is the preferred asset to hedge against the US dollar's credit risk, and the trend of central bank gold purchases globally continues, with the long - term price center of gold expected to rise. Silver's trend is consistent with that of gold, expected to adjust in tandem in the short term and its price center is expected to move up in the long term following gold [3]. - The weekly price range for London gold is expected to be between 3800 and 4200, and for London silver between 46 and 52 [3]. 3.
