Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating - No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - The core logic for this year lies in the direction of international tariff policies. In April, the US may introduce tariff policy changes for countries such as Canada, Mexico, and Europe, adding uncertainty to future shipping trends. Attention should be paid to the price war between MSK and MSC in Q2 and the feedback of terminal demand under aggressive tariff policies [3]. - The spot freight rate continues to decline, with short - term external policies being unstable and difficult to operate. It is recommended to focus on medium - to long - term operations for each contract. In the context of tariff issues, the reverse arbitrage structure can be considered, but the window period is short and the volatility is high. Risk - preferring investors can try to go long lightly when the 2508 contract falls below 1600 points and the 2510 contract falls below 1200 points, and set stop - losses [3][4]. 3.

Core Viewpoint - The relationship between the US Dollar Index and gold and silver prices is complex and non-linear, challenging traditional views of a simple inverse correlation, and providing new investment opportunities and challenges for investors in a volatile financial environment [1] Group 1: Theoretical Basis of Non-linear Relationship - The monetary attributes of gold and silver, along with their role as safe-haven assets, influence their demand and pricing in relation to the US Dollar Index [2][3] - Interest rates significantly impact both the Dollar Index and precious metal prices, with rising rates typically increasing the opportunity cost of holding gold and silver, yet market uncertainties can lead to increased demand for these metals despite rising rates [2] - Inflation expectations affect both the Dollar Index and gold and silver prices, with rising inflation often weakening the Dollar Index while boosting precious metal prices, although market dynamics can complicate this relationship [3] Group 2: Factors Influencing Non-linear Relationship - Global economic conditions, including growth rates and economic cycles, can lead to simultaneous movements in the Dollar Index and gold and silver prices, particularly during economic downturns [4] - Geopolitical conflicts create market uncertainty, prompting investors to buy both the Dollar and precious metals, leading to simultaneous price increases [5] - Central bank policies, especially those of the Federal Reserve, play a crucial role in shaping the Dollar Index and precious metal prices, with policy uncertainty potentially leading to non-linear price movements [6] Group 3: Case Studies and Data - During the 2008 financial crisis, both the Dollar Index and gold prices rose significantly as investors sought safe-haven assets, breaking the traditional inverse relationship [7] - From 2011 to 2013, despite a rising Dollar Index, gold and silver prices experienced significant volatility and declines, illustrating the complex non-linear relationship influenced by various economic and geopolitical factors [8] Group 4: Implications for Investors - Investors should adjust their strategies to account for the non-linear relationship between the Dollar Index and precious metal prices, considering multiple factors rather than relying solely on the Dollar Index [9] - Enhanced risk management practices are essential, including setting stop-loss and take-profit points and diversifying investments across asset classes to mitigate risks associated with non-linear price movements [10] - A long-term investment perspective is recommended, as gold and silver retain their value as safe-haven assets despite short-term market fluctuations [10]
