1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Views of the Report - Gold: The medium - to long - term upward trend remains unchanged, but there is a game in short - to medium - term drivers. Trump's policy combination will push up the US federal government debt, weaken the US dollar credit, and with factors like the approaching Fed rate cut, complex global geopolitical situation, and continued central bank gold purchases, the gold price will rise in the long run. However, in the short - to medium - term, factors such as the impact of tariff policies on the US economy, the Fed's rate - cut timing and space, and the potential rebound of the US dollar index will affect the gold price [1][17][18]. - Silver: The medium - term logic is expected to return to the fundamentals, and there will still be downward pressure in the second half of the year. After the recent significant catch - up, the silver price will be influenced by its commodity attributes. With an increase in global supply, a decrease in demand, and a narrowing supply - demand gap in 2025, coupled with risks to industrial and photovoltaic silver demand, the silver price is expected to be weak, and the gold - silver ratio may remain high [2][19][74]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 1. 2025 H1 Market Review - Gold: In H1 2025, Trump's policies increased market uncertainty, weakened the US dollar, and with central bank gold purchases and geopolitical risks, the gold price rose strongly. Gold ETF inflows, especially in April, were a key driving force. After April, the gold price fluctuated at a high level due to policy adjustments and market sentiment changes. COMEX gold rose about 28.2%, and SHFE gold rose about 26.1% [8][9][10]. - Silver: It generally followed the gold price but was restricted by its industrial attributes. After being sold off in early April, it rebounded and reached a new high in late May and early June. COMEX silver rose about 22.7%, and SHFE silver rose about 18.7% [10]. 3.2 2. 2025 H2 Precious Metals Market Outlook - Gold: The long - term upward trend remains unchanged, supported by factors such as the weakening of the US dollar credit, continued central bank gold purchases, and the approaching Fed rate cut. However, in the short - to medium - term, there are uncertainties in the US economy, Fed policy, and the US dollar index, which will affect the gold price [17][18][19]. - Silver: The medium - term logic will return to the fundamentals. With an increase in supply, a decrease in demand, and risks to industrial and photovoltaic demand, the silver price is expected to be weak, and the gold - silver ratio may remain high [19][74]. 3.3 3. Main Macroeconomic Influencing Factors Analysis 3.3.1 Medium - to Long - Term Perspective: Gold's Upward Trend Remains Unchanged - The tariff policy and fiscal deficit expansion will weaken the US dollar credit, and the demand for hedging against the US dollar credit risk will support the gold price [20][21]. - Global central banks will continue to purchase gold due to the increasing US dollar credit risk and geopolitical uncertainties, providing support for the gold price [22]. - The market's hedging demand will remain due to the uncertainty of tariff policies and geopolitical situations [23]. 3.3.2 Short - to Medium - Term Perspective: Driving Forces Are in a Game - **Impact of Tariff Policy Negotiations and Tax Cuts on the US Economy**: The tariff policy may cause the US economy to weaken, boosting the precious metals market. However, a controllable trade agreement and the implementation of tax and expenditure bills may offset the negative impact on the precious metals market. The US employment market is relatively stable but has hidden risks, inflation may rise in the second half of the year, and consumer spending and PMI show signs of slowdown [30][31][41]. - **Approaching Fed Rate Cut but Limited Space**: The Fed is expected to cut rates, but the timing may be late and the space limited, which will support the precious metals market but also restrict the short - term upward space of the gold price [44][45][48]. - **Be Wary of the Risk of a Temporary Rebound in the US Dollar**: Although the US dollar index has declined, factors such as the high 10 - year US Treasury yield and the US's relative economic advantage may limit its further decline and even cause a rebound, which will suppress the gold price [56][57]. 3.4 4. Fundamental Influencing Factors Analysis 3.4.1 Gold: The Driving Force of Key Factor ETFs May Weaken in H2 - **Supply**: In Q1 2025, global gold supply increased slightly, with an increase in mined gold and a decrease in recycled gold. Gold inventories in major exchanges generally increased [60]. - **Demand**: In Q1 2025, global gold demand increased, with a significant increase in investment demand, especially gold ETF inflows. In May, gold ETFs had a net outflow. In H2, economic uncertainties will support gold investment demand, but the driving force of gold ETFs may weaken, while central bank gold purchases will still support the price [65][66]. 3.4.2 Silver: The Medium - Term Logic Is Expected to Return to the Fundamentals - **Supply**: The global silver supply is expected to increase in 2025, and the visible inventory has increased. The US may impose tariffs on key metals, but the inventory has not decreased significantly [74][75]. - **Demand**: The global silver demand is expected to decrease in 2025, with a decline in physical demand in various fields and a slowdown in photovoltaic silver demand. However, investment demand is expected to increase, which will support the silver price to some extent. The silver price is expected to fluctuate weakly, and the gold - silver ratio may remain high [80][81][88].
