Important Information - The US House of Representatives passed a stable - coin related bill and will allow pension funds to invest in gold, digital currencies, etc.; the import tariff pushed up commodity prices, leading to a rise in the US consumer - end inflation CPI annual rate in June. However, since the US producer - end inflation PPI annual rate in June was 2.3%, lower than expected and the previous value, the expectation of Powell's early departure and the Fed's interest rate cuts increased, raising the probability of the Fed cutting interest rates in September/December [1]. - The European Central Bank cut interest rates by 25 basis points in June, lowering the deposit mechanism rate to 2%. The eurozone and German (French) manufacturing PMI in June was 49.4/49 (47.8), continuing to rise (lower than expected and the previous value). The eurozone (German) consumer price index CPI annual rate in June was 2% (2%), meeting expectations but higher than the previous value.

The UK SPCT manufacturing (services) PMI in June was 47.7 (51.3), higher (higher) than expected and the previous value. However, since the UK GDP in May was - 0.1%, lower than expected but higher than the previous value, the expectation of the Bank of England cutting interest rates in August has increased, and it may cut interest rates 2 - 3 times before the end of 2025 [1]. - The Bank of Japan raised interest rates by 25 basis points in January, raising the benchmark interest rate to 0.5%, and may start to reduce its quarterly government bond purchases from 400 billion yen to 200 billion yen in April 2026. The Japanese (Tokyo) consumer price index core (CPI) annual rate in June was 3.3% (3.1%), meeting expectations but lower than the previous value (lower than expected and the previous value). The Bank of Japan still has the expectation of raising interest rates before the end of 2025 [1]. Trading Strategies - Due to the passage of the US stable - coin related bill and the permission for pension funds to invest, the increased probability of the Fed's interest rate cuts, combined with global central banks' continuous gold purchases and geopolitical risks, precious metal prices are likely to rise and difficult to fall. It is recommended that investors mainly lay out long positions on pull - backs. For London gold, focus on the support level around 3150 - 3250 and the resistance level around 3500 - 3700; for Shanghai gold, focus on the support level around 730 - 760 and the resistance level around 800 - 850; for London silver, focus on the support level around 35 - 37 and the resistance level around 40 - 43; for Shanghai silver, focus on the support level around 8600 - 9000 and the resistance level around 9500 - 10000 [1].

Core Viewpoint - The global liquor stocks have experienced significant declines over the past three years, with high valuations and changing consumer preferences contributing to the downturn [7][9]. Group 1: Valuation Issues - Liquor companies were previously overvalued, with Chinese liquor leaders (e.g., Kweichow Moutai, Wuliangye) reaching price-to-earnings (PE) ratios of 40-70 times, significantly above the reasonable level of 15 times. Similarly, major Western liquor companies (e.g., Diageo, Pernod Ricard) had PE ratios of 40-50 times. The Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes and foreign capital withdrawal from emerging markets led to a substantial sell-off of high-valuation consumer stocks, including liquor, resulting in current PE ratios dropping to 10-20 times, with some companies seeing stock price declines of over 70-80% [7][9]. Group 2: Changing Consumer Trends - Post-pandemic, consumers are increasingly favoring low-alcohol beverages (e.g., beer, non-alcoholic drinks), leading to a decline in demand for high-end spirits (e.g., Moutai, whiskey), which are now viewed as "unhealthy" choices. The younger generation is drinking less, and liquor consumption has stagnated in certain countries (e.g., Japan, Western nations) [7]. Group 3: Weakening Luxury Status - Previously, high-end spirits (e.g., Moutai, Hennessy) were considered "social currency." However, during economic downturns, consumers are less inclined to maintain appearances, leading to a reduction in the perceived luxury status of these products [7].
