美联储可能在9月降息的预期限制了美元升值，同时提振了黄金的避险需求。但受制于市场风险偏好上升以及缺乏强劲买盘，金价整体维持区间震荡。 日线级别来看：金价在100小时均线3355附近遇到显著阻力，多次反弹未能突破该位置，表明短线卖压依旧明显。 若价格突破此位，或有望测试3375-3400关口。但若跌破3330支撑，可能引发加速下行，目标或指向3300甚至更低水平。 技术指标方面，日线震荡偏弱，短期趋势仍倾向于下行。目前黄金的反弹更多是技术性修正，而非趋势性反转。在美元缺乏持续买盘且美联储降息预期稳 定的背景下，金价或在短期内维持区间震荡。 但若市场风险情绪进一步升温，黄金的避险属性可能继续被削弱，需关注3330支撑的有效性，一旦失守，下行空间将迅速打开。 今天，我认为在3347-3350的区域内可以考虑空，反弹越高反而越不好，向下能看到3325-3315一线，3315是相对比较极限的目标区域，今天主要还是以空 为主，除非欧盘强势反弹形成亚盘上涨欧盘延续。（提示：重仓，不止损，锁仓者勿借鉴） 接下来再说一下原油： 拿破仑曾说：没有一场战争是为了爱与和平，都是为了利益。 今天，将是美俄针对乌俄冲突的谈判，地缘风险的 ...

Report Investment Rating - No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. Core Viewpoint - The upward trend of precious metals remains unchanged as relatively mild inflation data clears the way for interest rate cuts after the weakening of the labor market, and the expectation of a 25BP interest rate cut by the Fed in September remains stable. However, in the short term, the resonance upward movement of the Chinese and US equity markets has led to a recovery in market risk appetite, and the upward movement of the gold price may still need to build momentum. The price of spot gold is relatively mild below 3500, and its elasticity may increase after breaking through this level. The recovery of risk appetite brings greater short - term elasticity to silver, but the pressure at the 40 - dollar mark is still obvious, and its breakthrough requires the cooperation of gold [1][4]. Summary by Relevant Catalog Key Information - US Treasury Secretary Bessent said that the Fed could have cut interest rates in June and July, there is a possibility of a 50 - basis - point interest rate cut and a series of consecutive interest rate cuts, the current Fed interest rate should be further lowered by 150 to 175 basis points, the Fed's interest rate is restrictive, he is optimistic about the Fed's September meeting, the Fed's spending is not supervised, he is considering recruiting relevant talents from the private sector to serve in the Fed, he will not support stopping the release of employment reports, and the Fed may cut interest rates in advance if the data is accurate [2]. - Russia responded to the "Putin - Biden meeting" regarding territorial issues. Russian Foreign Ministry Deputy Spokesperson Fadeyev stated that Russia's territorial composition is determined in the national constitution, and the goals of the Russian delegation in the Russia - US leader negotiations will be based entirely on national interests [2]. - Trump's list of candidates for Fed Chairman has expanded to 11. Two government officials revealed that the Trump administration is considering 11 candidates to replace Fed Chairman Powell when his term expires next May, including three previously unannounced candidates. Treasury Secretary Bessent will interview all candidates, screen the list, and submit the final list to the president for a decision, but no timetable was provided [3]. Price Logic - Yesterday, the gold price rose slightly, and silver recorded a larger increase. US inflation rose as expected, and the impact of tariffs was limited. After the weakening of the labor market, relatively mild inflation data clears the way for interest rate cuts, and the expectation of a 25BP interest rate cut by the Fed in September remains stable. Fed Chairman Powell may give a clearer statement at the global central bank annual meeting next week. The dominant logic in the past quarter, "TACO trading + US fundamental resilience + convergence of interest rate cut expectations", is shifting to "verification of weakening US fundamentals + expansion of interest rate cut expectations". The change of the Fed leadership may bring a more dovish path in the long - term and a re - consideration of the Fed's independence [4]. Outlook - This week, the range of spot London gold is expected to be between 3340 and 3500 US dollars per ounce, and the range of spot London silver is expected to be between 37 and 40 US dollars per ounce [7].
