Industry Investment Ratings - Gold: ★☆☆, indicating a bullish bias but with limited operability on the trading floor [1] - Silver: ★☆★, with a certain bullish signal [1] Core Views - Gold and silver prices rose significantly to new highs today and then adjusted sharply, with large intraday fluctuations. The medium - and long - term upward logic of precious metals is solid, and the upward trend will continue. However, the short - term rise is too fast, both gold and silver show overbought signals, the intraday fluctuations are intensifying, and the risk of correction is high. It is advisable to wait and see and look for opportunities after the correction [1] Other Key Points - Philadelphia Fed President Paulson, who rarely voices his views, hinted at supporting two more 25 - basis - point interest rate cuts this year [2] - Leaders of Egypt, the US, Qatar, and Turkey signed the Comprehensive Document of the Gaza Cease - fire Agreement [2] - On October 14, the US implemented the final measures of the 301 investigation on China's maritime, logistics, and shipbuilding sectors. China strongly opposes this and includes 5 US - related subsidiaries of Hanwha Ocean Co., Ltd. in the counter - sanction list [2]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the short term, due to uncertainties in Trump's policies and Sino - US trade negotiations, and the accumulation of short - position losses, the financial market's overall liquidity risk has risen, leading to more violent price fluctuations in precious metals. Investors are advised to participate cautiously on a single - side basis. For gold, they can buy lightly when the price is above the $4060 support level and set stop - profit and stop - loss points. For silver, maintain a long - position mindset when the price is above $50. In the long term, affected by the US government shutdown and fiscal and monetary policy turmoil in developed countries, investors' asset pricing systems will be reshaped, which is beneficial to precious metals with strong financial attributes, and precious metals are expected to have a bull market similar to that in the 1970s [8]. Summary According to Relevant Catalogs Market Performance - Since October, due to trade frictions, tariffs, and geopolitical situations, institutional and individual funds have continuously flowed into precious metals for hedging, intensifying the liquidity shortage in the spot market. There have been significant rises and falls in the domestic and overseas precious metal markets. On the morning of October 14, the main Shanghai gold contract AU2512 once rose by more than 4.7% to a record high of 958 yuan/gram, and the main Shanghai silver contract AG2512 had a maximum increase of 7.6%. However, in the afternoon, the market dived, and the closing price of AU2512 was 938.98 yuan/gram, with a 2.7% increase; AG2512 closed at 11533 yuan/kilogram, with a 2.64% increase [1]. Driving Factors Market Risk - Aversion - Since October, the US government shutdown and political turmoil in many countries, combined with trade frictions, have increased the market's expectation of a recurrence of the global financial market turmoil in early April this year. Panic has increased the callback risk of risky assets such as stocks and cryptocurrencies, and funds have flowed to safe - haven assets. Gold and silver, as safe - haven assets, have led the financial market, with continuous inflows of funds from central bank gold purchases to ETF holdings, driving the prices of gold and silver to new historical highs [2]. Silver Supply and Demand - In this round of precious metal price increases, international silver prices have risen more sharply, with the London silver spot price rising above the COMEX futures price, reflecting the depletion of physical spot liquidity. The 1 - month lending and leasing cost of London bank silver has reached an extreme level of 35%. Due to the large - scale short - selling of silver by European and American financial institutions through the derivatives market in the past, and the current increase in silver investment demand, the transportation of a large amount of London inventory to New York has tightened spot liquidity. With relatively backward miner supply, silver prices have been further pushed up. The domestic silver price has also lagged behind the overseas market, and the London lending and leasing rates, as well as the US COMEX inventory and the spot - futures price difference, will reflect whether the short - term supply shortage can be alleviated [5][7]. Future Outlook - Fundamentally, the risk of US economic recession has increased due to the impact of the government shutdown on the economy and the employment market. The Fed's policy of interest - rate cuts may strengthen, which will suppress the US dollar index. In the long - term, affected by the US government shutdown and fiscal and monetary policy turmoil in developed countries such as Europe and Japan, investors' asset pricing systems will be reshaped, which is beneficial to precious metals with strong financial attributes, and precious metals are expected to have a bull market similar to that in the 1970s. In extreme cases, the annual increase in the gold price may exceed 100% [8].

在今年的贵金属市场中，除了黄金，还有一个更耀眼的存在——白银。 本周二，现货白银突破53美元/盎司，再创历史新高。而2025年初至今，白银已经累计上涨84%，涨幅远超黄金的56%同期涨幅。 这主要是因为白银市场的规模远比黄金市场要小，可能仅有约黄金市场的十分之一，这意味着在白银市场中，每一美元的资金流入所产生的影响，都要比 在黄金市场大得多。 正是因为这一原因，最近几周白银的涨势尤其剧烈：自8月底以来，白银价格已上涨了超过35%。由于伦敦——全球实物白银交易的中心——出现了流动 性紧缩，白银涨势进一步加剧，近日伦敦的白银库存已降至多年来的最低水平。 白银表现是黄金的"强化版" 高盛指出，白银的表现通常类似于黄金的"强化版"：当投资者将贵金属作为抵御宏观风险的手段而大量买入时，白银往往会表现得比黄金更出色；但当市 场情绪转变时，白银往往也会遭受更严重的下跌。 然而，在近日的报告中，高盛分析师提醒投资者要对白银价格的上涨保持谨慎。他们指出，白银的市场规模小、缺乏央行支撑，使其波动性远高于黄金。 一旦近期避险情绪出现变化，白银可能会面临比黄金更大的下行风险。 白银缺乏央行支撑 高盛在报告中表示，尽管由于美联储可能会 ...

Group 1 - The core viewpoint of the articles highlights the surge in the precious metals market during the National Day holiday, driven by uncertainties in U.S. government operations and economic data, leading to increased investment in safe-haven assets [1][2][3] - Gold prices have reached new historical highs, with international gold prices surpassing $4000 and RMB gold prices exceeding 900 yuan per gram, indicating a strong bullish sentiment in the market [1][2] - The U.S. government shutdown has delayed the release of key economic data, such as non-farm payrolls and CPI, which has further impacted market confidence and reinforced expectations for potential interest rate cuts [1][3] Group 2 - The escalation of U.S.-China trade tensions, including China's restrictions on rare earth exports and Trump's threats of 100% tariffs on Chinese imports, has heightened market risk aversion [2] - The current macroeconomic environment, characterized by both risk aversion and monetary easing, has led to increased allocations to gold, as investors seek to capitalize on favorable conditions [2] - The mixed signals from Federal Reserve officials regarding interest rate cuts reflect ongoing uncertainty in the U.S. economic outlook, with some advocating for caution while others support further easing [3]

高盛警告，虽然白银同样受益于私人投资流入，但由于缺乏央行结构性购买支撑，其价格波动性显著高于黄金，即使投资资金小幅撤离也可能引 发白银价格的大幅调整。 据追风交易台消息，高盛在10月12日的报告中表示，随着美联储降息吸引资金流入，白银中期走势仍有望进一步上涨，但短期内面临的波动性和 下行风险远超黄金。 分析师表示，白银市场流动性较差且规模仅为黄金市场的九分之一，这放大了价格波动幅度。且白银是唯一缺乏央行结构性买盘支撑的大宗商 品，任何投资流入的暂时回落都可能引发不成比例的价格修正。 当白银ETF需求快速上升并吸收更多实物白银时，伦敦市场出现暂时性供应短缺。为管理这一短缺局面，交易商转向租借市场，推动白银租借利 率急剧上升，显示出短期市场紧张状况。 高盛预计这种失衡最终会正常化，因为更高的伦敦价格将激励白银从美国和其他地区回流，逐步恢复市场流动性。 私人投资驱动贵金属联动 高盛表示，白银和黄金价格通常相互关联，因为两者的主要驱动力——私人投资流入都呈同步变动趋势。这种联动性历史上将金银价格比维持在 45-80的宽幅区间内。 然而自2022年以来，随着央行购金激增，黄金价格即使在没有私人投资流入的情况下也能上涨， ...
