金银暴跌解密：非“沃什”之过

Report's Investment Rating for the Industry - Not available in the provided content Core Viewpoints of the Report - The gold and silver market will become more volatile due to factors such as the frequency of global black - swan events, rising US re - inflation pressure, and the rapid transmission of AI's generalized cost [2][4] - The recent sharp decline in gold and silver is mainly due to large - scale profit - taking after long - term sharp rises, and their pricing is influenced by liquidity, AI narrative, and cryptocurrency funds [7][11] - Kevin Warsh's nomination as the next Fed Chair doesn't change the dovish policy expectation, and the Fed's decision on interest rates depends more on economic performance and Trump's political will [14] - The US stock market is under pressure of intensified K - shaped differentiation, facing risks from fiscal policy, price increases in production materials, and the sustainability of the AI narrative [29] Summary by Relevant Sections I. The Turbulent Gold and Silver Market - The recent sharp decline of gold and silver has no essential causal relationship with Warsh's nomination but is mainly due to profit - taking after sharp rises. In 2025 and 2026, the upward cycle of gold was compressed, leading to a subsequent sharp correction [7] - Gold and silver show obvious "MEME - like" features, with their prices driven by liquidity, AI narrative, and influenced by cryptocurrency funds. Silver is more volatile than gold [11] - The current market's upward momentum is related to the strength of the AI trend. Gold, silver, and the US stock market are boosted by the AI narrative, while cryptocurrencies are under pressure [13] II. Kevin Warsh's Nomination: A Two - way Attraction between Speculation and Pragmatism - Warsh's nomination doesn't change the dovish policy expectation. The Fed's interest - rate decision depends on economic performance and Trump's political will. Trump wants a controllable Fed Chair to address the "affordability problem" [14] - It's uncertain how much of Warsh's "interest - rate cut + balance - sheet reduction" is based on his true judgment of the macro - economy, considering his past inaccurate inflation and policy stances [21] - Warsh's balance - sheet reduction proposal faces "objective" constraints. From a quantitative and qualitative perspective, the current US dollar liquidity is only slightly above the sufficient level, and excessive balance - sheet reduction may lead to a repeat of the 2019 repo crisis [24] - For the Trump administration, an interest - rate cut is urgent, while balance - sheet reduction is an idealized long - term goal [28] III. The US Stock Market under Pressure of Intensified K - shaped Differentiation - The sharp decline in gold and silver warns assets relying on liquidity and the AI narrative. The US stock market is facing intensified K - shaped differentiation, with the lower end of the "K" being more vulnerable [29] - During the earnings season, the performance of US stocks varies. Investors' focus has shifted to liquidity. The Fed is likely to ensure stock - market stability and provide sufficient liquidity for the AI narrative [29] - Fiscal risks, such as the potential government shutdown due to political conflicts over immigration regulation, are destabilizing factors for the US stock market. Price increases in production materials like electricity and storage chips may lead to re - inflation and squeeze corporate profits [29][30] - The continuation of the AI narrative depends on continuous monetary and fiscal support and the absence of a significant economic recession. The economic "K - shaped" gap is widening, as shown by the profit growth of AI - related industries and the increasing corporate layoffs [31] - The future of the US stock market depends on Warsh's ability to balance inflation and political expansion needs after taking office in June. If fiscal risks and inflation rebound resonate, the current calm in the US stock market may be broken [35]
