Market Performance - Last week, the micro-cap stock index reached a historical high, while large-cap indices like the CSI 300 and SSE 50 experienced adjustments.

Notable stocks such as Hunan Gold and Zhaojin Mining reached their daily limit up, while leading companies like Zijin Mining and China Uranium also saw substantial increases [6][9]. - Gold prices surged past $5,000 per ounce, marking a new historical high, which is attributed to geopolitical factors and fluctuations in confidence towards U.S. assets, leading to increased demand for gold as a safe-haven asset [8][10]. Earnings Forecasts - Several precious metals companies have announced optimistic earnings forecasts for 2025. Zijin Mining expects a net profit of 51 to 52 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 59% to 62%. Chifeng Jilong Gold anticipates a net profit of 3 to 3.2 billion yuan, reflecting a growth of 70% to 81% [9]. - The overall outlook for the non-ferrous metals sector is driven by three main catalysts: recovery in manufacturing and inventory replenishment, long-term demand reshaping due to green and technological trends, and favorable liquidity expectations enhancing the financial attributes of precious metals [10]. Financial Sector Activity - The financial sector was active, with the insurance sector leading gains. Major insurance companies collectively saw increases, with New China Life Insurance rising over 4% [12]. - The insurance industry is expected to face short-term challenges but may benefit from a rebound in the equity market in early 2026, driven by improved asset performance and a potential stabilization of long-term interest rates [14].
