Report Industry Investment Rating - The report suggests maintaining a "buy on dips" approach for the precious metals sector, with a focus on the upward potential of silver prices [11]. Core Viewpoints - Influenced by the Fed's monetary policy expectations and potential tariff risks from the Trump administration, precious metal prices showed strong performance this month. COMEX gold and silver prices outperformed domestic prices. The Fed is likely to adopt a dovish monetary policy stance in the September FOMC meeting and cut interest rates by 25 basis points. Silver prices are expected to have stronger upward momentum compared to gold as the Fed's monetary policy turns accommodative [11]. Summary by Directory 1.

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The current marginal growth pattern of global silver shows "limited primary growth + increased by - product output + regional disturbances." The short - term supply elasticity is weak, and the price is more sensitive to demand and financial variables [42]. - Recent dovish signals from Fed officials strengthen the downward expectation of the forward real - interest - rate curve. The financial attribute premium of silver is supported. In the benchmark scenario, the view of "declining gold - silver ratio, silver outperforming gold, and price rising with high volatility" is maintained [43]. 3. Summary according to the Table of Contents 3.1 Recent Market Background and Summary of Major Silver Mining Enterprises - Major silver producers generally have the characteristics of "tightening primary ore increment and relying on by - products for silver increment." Pure silver ore increment is limited, and global new supply more depends on by - product recovery from copper/zinc projects. The supply side continues to feature "low elasticity + regional disturbances" [2]. 3.2 Hedging Strategy Suggestions - At the macro level, the co - existence of global growth slowdown and the bottom - up repair of the manufacturing industry, along with the rising market expectation of the Fed's moderate easing within the year and the high - level slowdown of real interest rates, support the main line of silver's "financial elasticity + stable industrial demand" [3]. 3.3 Global Major Silver Producers' Situation 3.3.1 Fresnillo plc - In 2024, its silver equity production was 56.31 million ounces, basically flat with 2023. In 2025 H1, the silver equity production was 24.9 million ounces, a year - on - year decline of about 8.30%. The company maintains the annual production guidance of 49 - 56 million ounces [8][9]. 3.3.2 KGHM Polska Miedz S.A. - In 2024, its silver production was 1341 tons, a year - on - year decline of 6%. In 2025 H1, it was about 657.2 tons, a year - on - year decline of 3%. The Sierra Gorda mine in Chile is expected to expand in mid - 2025, which may increase copper and silver production [14][15]. 3.3.3 Newmont Corporation - In 2024, its silver production was about 33 million ounces, a year - on - year increase of 83%. In 2025 H1, it was about 14 million ounces, a year - on - year decline of 17.6%. The 2025 annual production guidance is about 28 million ounces, a year - on - year decline of 15.21% compared with 2024 [21]. 3.3.4 Pan American Silver Corp. - In 2024, its silver production was 21.061 million ounces, a year - on - year increase of 3.05%. In 2025 H1, it was 10.097 million ounces, a year - on - year increase of 5.44%. The main increments come from La Colorada and El Peñon [23][24]. 3.3.5 Southern Copper Corporation - In 2024, its silver production was 20.983 million ounces, a year - on - year increase of 14%. In 2025 H1, it was 11.43 million ounces, a year - on - year increase of 14.6%. The 2025 annual guidance is 23 million ounces, a 9% increase compared with 2024 [30][31]. 3.3.6 Glencore plc - In 2024, its silver production was 19.286 million ounces, a year - on - year decline of 4%. In 2025 H1, it was 9.097 million ounces, basically flat year - on - year. The decline in Collahuasi is offset by the increase in Antamina, Kazzinc, and Kidd [33][34]. 3.4 Gold - Silver Ratio Review - Since 1980, the gold - silver ratio has generally shown a long - cycle pattern of "high - level fluctuation - periodic convergence - expansion again." The ratio converges when "loose policy + industrial recovery + re - inflation" resonate, and expands in the stage of "tightening/stagflation + declining risk appetite" [39]. 3.5 Summary and Hedging Suggestions - The short - term supply elasticity of silver is weak. If the Fed continues to compress the real - interest - rate spread and the economy has a "moderate slowdown," silver will benefit from the dual - drive of "metal financial attribute + industrial buffer" [42][43].

Report Investment Rating - No specific investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. Core Viewpoints - The current correction of silver prices is a technical adjustment in the bull market, caused by temporary factors such as the Fed's hawkish stance, short - term strong US economic data, and domestic policies falling short of expectations. The core logic supporting the long - term strength of silver has been further strengthened during the adjustment. The report maintains the view that domestic silver will break through the 10,000 yuan/kg mark within the third quarter, and the Shanghai silver main contract below 9,000 yuan provides a safety margin. Investors should take advantage of the current correction to build long positions [17][18][19] Summary by Related Catalogs Reasons for Silver Price Correction - The Fed's hawkish stance: In the July FOMC meeting, the Fed kept interest rates unchanged, and Fed Chair Powell's remarks were more hawkish than expected, causing the US dollar index to rise for seven consecutive trading days to 100.09 on August 1st, hitting a new high since the end of May. The stronger US dollar increased the holding cost of silver, pressuring international and domestic silver prices [4] - Short - term strong US economic data: The US GDP annualized growth rate in Q2 reached 3%, significantly exceeding market expectations. The PCE price index in June rose to 2.6% year - on - year, compressing the space for monetary policy shift and pushing up real interest rates, which suppressed the performance of silver [5] - Domestic policy meetings falling short of expectations: The stimulus signals released by the July Politburo economic work meeting did not meet market optimism, leading to a general correction in the domestic commodity market, and silver prices were also pressured. After the meeting, the main contract of Shanghai silver reduced positions and declined, indicating short - term departure of long - position funds [6] Factors Supporting Long - Term Silver Strength - Supply - demand structure tightening: The global silver market is expected to face a supply shortage for the seventh consecutive year in 2025, with a cumulative shortage of 800 million ounces from 2021 - 2025. Mine production has been declining, and industrial demand for silver is growing. Exchange silver inventories have decreased by 18% since the beginning of the year, reaching the lowest level since 2014 [8] - Re - evaluation of financial attributes and hedging value: In the first half of 2025, global silver ETP had a net inflow of 95 million ounces, and retail investment in silver coins and bars in Asia and North America was booming. India's purchases of physical silver and silver ETFs hit record highs. In the context of geopolitical tensions and trade frictions, silver has a unique "dual - wheel drive" pattern [10] - Favorable macro - environment: The probability of the Fed cutting interest rates in September is over 70%, and it is almost certain to cut rates before the end of October. Global major economies' fiscal policies are still in a loose cycle, and post - pandemic excess liquidity will gradually flow into silver [11] - Sufficient momentum for the convergence of gold - silver ratio: The current gold - silver ratio is around 86, still significantly higher than the historical average of 50 - 60. If gold prices remain stable, silver needs to rise to $42 per ounce (about 10,500 yuan/kg in China) for the gold - silver ratio to return to a reasonable level, with a potential upside of over 20% [13] Technical Analysis and Investment Strategy - Technical adjustment: The current correction of silver is a healthy adjustment in the bull market. The main contract of Shanghai silver has strong support in the range of 8,800 - 8,900 yuan, and the price stabilized after a decline on August 1st, indicating that the short - term adjustment is almost over [15] - Investment strategy: The main contract of Shanghai silver below 9,000 yuan provides a safety margin. Investors can adopt the "buy on dips and build positions step - by - step" strategy to establish long positions. Silver is expected to resume its upward trend in August, and investors should seize the current buying opportunity [17][18]
