Group 2: Report's Core View - Precious metals are in a long - term bull market and have strategic allocation value, with the decline of the US dollar credit as the core cornerstone [3]. - The long - term upward drivers of precious metals are composed of "interest rate cut pricing + policy uncertainty + geopolitical risks" [1][3]. - In the next 1 - 2 quarters, there is still room for trading Fed rate cuts, and the risks related to independence remain, so the interest rate - end drivers persist [3].

Price Logic - On October 14th, gold and silver prices rose significantly and then fell. The volatility of precious metals has increased this week, showing characteristics of the end of a phased rise. Short - term volatility risks should be watched out for [3]. - Gold's decline today was due to the strengthening of the US dollar, the easing of tariff uncertainty, and capital de - leveraging and profit - taking [3]. - Silver's decline was larger than gold's, due to basis convergence, cooling of squeeze - out trading, and the self - strengthening of high volatility [3]. Outlook - This week, attention should be paid to the government shutdown, tariff path guidance, and geopolitical events. The price range for London gold is [4020 - 4200] US dollars per ounce, and for London silver is [50 - 55] US dollars per ounce [4].

Core Viewpoint - The recent surge in silver prices, breaking the $52 mark, is attributed to a combination of industrial demand, monetary policy expectations, and geopolitical risks, reflecting a significant shift in market dynamics [1][3]. Group 1: Price Movement - On October 14, 2025, spot silver prices reached a historical high of $52.67 per ounce, marking a 73% increase since the beginning of the year, outpacing gold's 53% rise [1][3]. - The domestic silver price in China surged to 11,934 yuan, an 18% increase since early September [1][3]. Group 2: Market Drivers - The surge in silver prices is driven by three main factors: 1. Industrial demand for silver has significantly increased, with projections indicating that global photovoltaic installations will reach 655 GW by 2025, accounting for 25% of total silver demand [6][7]. 2. Expectations of a Federal Reserve interest rate cut, with a 97% probability of a rate decrease in October, have led to increased investment in silver as lower interest rates reduce holding costs [7][8]. 3. Geopolitical tensions, including the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and uncertainties in trade policies, have driven investors towards silver as a safe-haven asset [10][11]. Group 3: Future Outlook - Market opinions on silver's future price trajectory are divided: - Optimistic forecasts, such as from Bank of America, suggest prices could reach $65 by 2026 due to ongoing supply-demand imbalances and increasing photovoltaic demand [13]. - Cautious perspectives, like those from HSBC, predict price fluctuations between $45 and $53, citing potential corrections if inflation rebounds and interest rate cuts do not materialize [14][15]. - The long-term outlook remains positive as long as the Federal Reserve maintains a dovish stance and photovoltaic demand continues to rise, while short-term strategies should focus on waiting for price corrections below $50 before entering the market [15].
