Although the cooling of international trade and the US fiscal expansion bill have reduced gold's hedging and allocation demand, Trump's new policies and geopolitical risks, along with the deterioration of the US job market, have increased the expectation of a Fed rate cut. In June, speculative funds flowed into the silver and platinum markets, and in July, the silver price fluctuated greatly. The long - term bull market of gold is supported by the restructuring of the international trade and monetary system, and the mid - term bull market is supported by Trump's policies and the expectation of a Fed rate cut. However, the high price and P/E ratio of gold have increased its volatility. It is expected that London gold will continue to move within the range in the short term. Long - term investors are advised to participate with medium - low positions, and short - term investors can consider "long gold, short silver" arbitrage opportunities [5]. 2.
