Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints - Due to rising tariff concerns, the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, and a decline in risk appetite, both gold and silver prices are on an upward trend. The upward trend of gold prices remains unchanged due to tariff concerns and expectations of interest rate cuts. Silver prices mainly follow gold prices, and tariff concerns may lead to an enlarged increase in silver prices [4][5]. - With Trump's inauguration, the world has entered a period of extreme turmoil and change. The inflation expectation has shifted to an economic recession expectation, making it difficult for gold prices to fall. The verification between the expected and actual policies of the new U.S. government will continue, and the sentiment for gold prices remains high, with prices still more likely to rise than fall.
