1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - For stock index futures, Trump's sudden tariff threat will disrupt the stock index in the short - term. Last week, each stock index rose first and then fell, with a slight decline. In the long - term, policy expectations and capital inflows support the stock index. The subsequent trend of the stock index depends on the game between policy expectation fermentation and profit - taking. Trump's tariff threat on Friday night led to a sharp drop in US stock indexes, bringing short - term pressure on the stock market, but the impact on A - shares is weaker than in early April [1][7][79]. - For ETF options and stock index options, maintain a bull spread in a low - volatility state. The implied volatility of options has declined to a low level. Since the probability of the stock index rising in the long - term is high, one can hold a bull spread or a ratio spread with a mild bullish view [2][80]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Review 3.1.1 Stock Index Trends - Last week, each stock index rose first and then fell, with a slight decline. Due to the significant increase in stock valuations, the profit - taking intention of profitable funds increased. With policy benefits about to be implemented, the policy - driven effect will weaken. In the long - term, policy expectations and capital inflows support the stock index [7]. - The table shows the price changes of spot indexes. For example, the Shanghai Composite 50 Index closed at 2974.854, with a daily decline of 1.51% and a weekly decline of 0.47% [8]. 3.1.2 Option Price Trends - This week, the 50ETF had a weekly decline of 1.90%, closing at 3.045; the 300ETF (Shanghai Stock Exchange) had a weekly decline of 0.37%, closing at 4.604; etc. The report also provides the price changes and weekly fluctuations of various option underlying assets and the weekly price changes of the main contracts of each option variety [13][14][15]. 3.1.3 Stock Index Futures Basis and Monthly Spread - The basis of the four stock index futures varieties shows that IF and IH are at normal quantile levels, while IM and IC are in a state of significant far - month futures discounts. The inter - period spreads of IC and IM futures have increased, indicating a strong short - term risk preference for IC and IM in the market [19]. 3.2 Option Indicators 3.2.1 PCR Indicators - The report provides the trading volume PCR and open interest PCR of various options, such as the Shanghai Composite 50ETF option, with a trading volume PCR of 113.82 and an open interest PCR of 71.82 [31]. 3.2.2 Implied Volatility - The report provides the implied volatility of at - the - money options in October 2025 and the 30 - trading - day historical volatility of the underlying assets for various options. For example, the implied volatility of the Shanghai Composite 50ETF option's at - the - money option in October 2025 is 16.72%, and the 30 - trading - day historical volatility of the underlying asset is 15.73% [52]. 3.3 Conclusion - Similar to the core viewpoints, for stock index futures, Trump's tariff threat disrupts the stock index in the short - term, and the stock index will fluctuate widely in the short - term. For ETF options and stock index options, maintain a bull spread in a low - volatility state [79][80].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints - The precious metals market is mainly in a wide - range oscillation. The probability of unexpected confrontation is decreasing, but market uncertainties still exist. Silver has a significant advantage over gold during the stage when domestic and foreign risk preferences are opened and is currently in an upward trend. Attention should be paid to whether the change in photovoltaic expectations affects the improvement of the term structure of silver demand expectations [2]. - The global trade situation shows signs of easing, which is one of the main reasons for the pressure on gold prices. The trade agreements between the US and other countries boost market risk preferences and reduce the attractiveness of gold as a safe - haven asset [2]. - The robust performance of US economic data is another factor driving down gold prices. Strong economic data support the Fed to maintain the current interest rate level, and push up the US dollar index and US Treasury yields [3]. 3. Summary by Related Information Impact of Trade Situation on Precious Metals - The US has reached or is expected to reach trade agreements with multiple countries. The trade agreement between the US and Japan reduces the automobile import tariff to 15% and exempts some goods from punitive tariffs. The US - EU trade negotiation also shows positive progress, with an expected 15% benchmark tariff, lower than the previously threatened 30% level. These reduce investors' concerns about economic turmoil and weaken the demand for gold as a safe - haven asset [2]. Impact of Economic Data on Precious Metals - As of the week of July 19, the US initial jobless claims decreased by 4,000 to 217,000, the lowest in three months, far lower than the expected 226,000, indicating a stable labor market. The US composite PMI in July rose from 52.9 in June to 54.6, and the service PMI climbed to 55.2, reflecting accelerated economic expansion. These data support the Fed to maintain the current interest rate level and push up the US dollar index and US Treasury yields, leading to a decline in gold prices [2][3].
