The weakening of the US employment and moderate inflation still support the expectation of interest rate cuts [1] - The "black swan" event that Fed Chairman Powell was deeply involved in a criminal investigation due to the headquarters renovation case directly shook the independence of monetary policy and the cornerstone of the US dollar's credit, leading to the de - anchoring of long - term inflation expectations. Geopolitical risks such as the US - Iran situation and the US arrest of Maduro have increased [1] - In December, US employment growth almost stagnated, and the decline in the unemployment rate alleviated concerns about the deterioration of the labor market. In November, the core CPI in the US increased by 2.6% year - on - year, the slowest growth rate since early 2021, lower than the market expectation of 3%. In December, the Fed cut interest rates amidst many differences, hinting at a pause in action and only one possible interest rate cut next year. Currently, the market expects the probability that the Fed will not cut interest rates in January 2026 to remain around 80%, and the next interest rate cut may be in April. The US dollar index and US bond yields are oscillating strongly [1] - Silver is supported by tight supply. The demand for platinum - based catalysts in the platinum hydrogen energy industry is expected to be strong. The short - term demand for palladium is still resilient, but it faces long - term structural pressure from the fuel - vehicle market. The CRB commodity index is oscillating weakly, and the appreciation of the RMB is negative for domestic prices [1] - It is expected that precious metals will be volatile and slightly stronger in the short term, oscillate at a high level in the medium term, and rise step - by - step in the long term [1] 3.
