Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report 2. Core View of the Report - The expectation of a Fed rate cut has significantly increased, and the precious metals market has maintained a strong performance. The "short squeeze" in the silver market has intensified, driving the recent accelerated rise in silver prices. The slowdown in the US core PPI growth rate and the cooling of the employment market have boosted market sentiment. Although geopolitical risks have eased to some extent, the mainstream market expectation of a rate cut in December is likely to continue to boost market bullish sentiment. The tight inventory of physical silver may exacerbate the short - squeeze in the short term. Any macro data or news falling short of expectations may amplify the callback risk in the precious metals market. In the long - term, the US debt pressure makes gold an attractive asset, and central bank gold purchases provide structural support for gold prices [2] 3.
