Report Overview - Report Date: September 29, 2025 [2] - Report Type: Weekly Report on Precious Metals - Author: Long Aoming from Baocheng Futures Investment Consulting Department [1] 1. Investment Rating - No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - Last week, the gold price showed a high - level oscillation after surging. The price of New York gold rose from $3,700 to $3,800, and the corresponding main contract price of Shanghai gold futures rose from 830 yuan to 860 yuan. In the short term, the simultaneous rise of the gold price, U.S. Treasury yields, and the U.S. dollar index was likely due to geopolitical tensions. The U.S. continuously pressuring Russia accelerated the upward movement of the gold price. Since the Jackson Hole meeting on August 22, the gold price has been on an upward trend, breaking through the oscillation range since the second quarter with an accelerating upward momentum. After a short - term correction around the Fed's interest - rate meeting on September 18, the gold price reached a new high, and the medium - to - long - term upward trend remains unchanged. With China approaching the National Day and Mid - Autumn Festival holiday, attention should be paid to overseas market fluctuations [3][25]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Review 3.1.1 Weekly Trend - The report provides a graph showing the relationship between the COMEX gold futures closing price and the U.S. dollar index, but no specific textual description of the weekly trend other than the price changes of gold is given [7]. 3.1.2 Index Percentage Changes | Index | September 26 | September 19 | Weekly Change | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | COMEX Gold | $3,789.80 | $3,719.40 | 1.89% | | COMEX Silver | $46.37 | $43.37 | 6.92% | | SHFE Gold Main Contract | 856.06 yuan | 830.56 yuan | 3.07% | | SHFE Silver Main Contract | 10,632.00 yuan | 9,971.00 yuan | 6.63% | | U.S. Dollar Index | 98.20 | 97.65 | 0.56% | | U.S. Dollar against Off - shore RMB | 7.14 | 7.12 | 0.32% | | 10 - year U.S. Treasury Real Yield | 1.82 | 1.75 | 0.07 | | S&P 500 | 6,643.70 | 6,664.36 | - 0.31% | | U.S. Crude Oil Continuous | $65.19 | $62.72 | 3.94% | | COMEX Gold - Silver Ratio | 81.74 | 85.77 | - 4.70% | | SHFE Gold - Silver Ratio | 80.52 | 83.30 | - 3.34% | | SPDR Gold ETF | 1,005.72 | 994.56 | 11.16 | | iShare Gold ETF | 478.90 | 474.47 | 4.43 | [8] 3.2 Accelerated Upward Movement of Gold Price - Last week, the gold price showed a high - level oscillation after surging. In the short term, the simultaneous rise of the gold price, U.S. Treasury yields, and the U.S. dollar index was likely due to the intensification of geopolitical situations, which increased market risk - aversion demand. The decline of the U.S. stock market last week reduced market risk appetite, increased risk - aversion demand, and was favorable for the gold price [10][12]. 3.3 Tracking of Other Indicators - According to September 23 data, compared with the previous week, long positions changed by 6,030 contracts, short positions changed by 5,691 contracts, and net long positions changed by 339 contracts. This indicator is more sensitive to precious - metal price trends than gold ETFs but has a lower update frequency and poor timeliness. Last week, the gold ETF holdings increased significantly. Both gold and silver rose significantly last week, with silver rising sharply, and the gold - silver ratio declined rapidly. The 10 - year U.S. Treasury yield rebounded significantly last week, and the 10 - 2 yield spread widened. With the start of the Fed's interest - rate cuts, the market's expectation for the U.S. economy improved [14][16][19] 3.4 Conclusion - The conclusion is consistent with the core viewpoints of the report, emphasizing the short - term and medium - to - long - term trends of the gold price and reminding of overseas market fluctuations during the holiday [25]

Core Viewpoint - The advantages of gold as a credit asset are becoming increasingly prominent against the backdrop of excessive issuance of U.S. government bonds, with gold prices nearing $3,800 per ounce, raising concerns about its future trajectory [1] Group 1: Evolution of Gold's Monetary Attributes - Historically, gold has served as a crucial support for currency circulation, providing stability and credibility to the monetary system, but its monetary attributes are gradually weakening [4][2] - The transition from a gold-backed currency system to a fiat currency system has occurred in two key phases: the classical gold standard and the Bretton Woods system, which linked currencies to gold at a fixed rate [2] - The collapse of the Bretton Woods system marked the liberation of gold prices from fixed exchange rates, leading to a floating exchange rate system and an era of credit currency [2] Group 2: Changes in Gold's Demand and Supply Dynamics - Gold's investment demand has shown strong growth, increasing from 991 tons in 2021 to 1,182 tons in 2024, with gold ETFs transitioning from negative to positive contributions [4][6] - The demand for gold jewelry and technology applications has also been significant, with gold consumption in jewelry manufacturing decreasing from 2,247 tons in 2021 to 2,012 tons in 2024, while technological demand remains stable [6] - The supply of gold has not kept pace with demand, with total demand rising from 4,026 tons in 2021 to 4,606 tons in 2024, while gold mine production only increased from 3,573 tons to 3,673 tons during the same period [7] Group 3: Geopolitical Risks and Gold's Safe-Haven Demand - Geopolitical tensions have heightened the demand for gold as a safe-haven asset, with military conflicts leading to inflationary pressures that typically drive up gold prices [11] - The inverse relationship between the U.S. dollar index and gold prices has been evident, with the dollar index declining from 108.6 in January to 98.2 in August, while gold prices rose by 23.9% during the same period [8][10] - Central banks, particularly in developing countries, have been increasing their gold reserves, with 95% of surveyed central banks expecting to raise their gold reserves in the next 12 months, up from 81% the previous year [13] Group 4: Future Outlook for Gold Prices - The future trajectory of gold prices is primarily influenced by geopolitical developments and the sustainability of U.S. debt, with two potential scenarios: stabilization or further escalation of tensions [20][21] - If geopolitical tensions ease and U.S. debt issues are managed, gold prices may stabilize or face downward pressure, as current prices are significantly above production costs [21] - Conversely, if geopolitical conflicts intensify and U.S. debt issues worsen, gold's safe-haven attributes may become more pronounced, leading to further price increases [21]

美联储主席鲍威尔一直抱有这种观点：关税政策将会持续推高消费者物价。这也是为什么9月份之前鲍威尔一直坚持不降息的核心原因。虽然美联储迫于 就业市场的压力，在9月份宣布降息，但美联储主席鲍威尔依旧对通胀走向十分担忧。他在最近一次公开讲话中提到：（如果过于激进的降息）我们可能 无法完成控制通胀的任务，之后需要改变策略（转而加息）。显然，鲍威尔仍然认为通胀率可能超预期升高。 如果8月份PCE数据确实如市场预期的那样保持不变，意味着美国的通胀率没有像鲍威尔预判的那样强势，美联储降息的节奏大概率延续，利空美元指 数。 ATFX汇评：今日20:30，美国商务部将公布美国8月核心PCE物价指数年率数据，前值为2.9%，预期值持平。核心PCE物价指数年率是美联储进行货币政 策决定的关键依据，如果数据显著上行，可能导致美联储重新考虑降息幅度与频率。 ▲ATFX图 PCE数据与CPI数据共振。从上图可以看出，核心CPI和核心PCE年率均在2022年2月份创出阶段性高点，又同时在2025年3月份触底。又因为CPI数据的公 布时间远早于PCE数据，所以前者可以作为后者的前瞻指标。8月份核心CPI年率最新值为3.1%，与前值持平。据此判 ...

Core Viewpoint - The international spot gold market is experiencing a stagnant performance, with prices fluctuating around $3742 per ounce, unable to maintain the mild upward trend from the previous trading day due to strong U.S. macroeconomic data and mixed expectations regarding the Federal Reserve's future interest rate policy [1] Group 1: Market Dynamics - Despite external pressure from a strengthening dollar, gold prices are constrained by multiple factors, including cautious market sentiment ahead of the key U.S. inflation data, the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index, and expectations of potential rate cuts by the Federal Reserve [2] - Recent global economic uncertainties, such as trade policy adjustments and escalating regional tensions, have enhanced gold's appeal as a traditional safe-haven asset, limiting its price decline [2] Group 2: U.S. Economic Data - The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis revised the second quarter GDP annual growth rate to 3.8%, significantly higher than the previous estimate of 3.3%, indicating strong economic resilience [3] - Durable goods orders in August increased by 2.9%, reversing the previous month's decline and exceeding market expectations, while initial jobless claims also saw a decrease [3] - Divergent views among Federal Reserve officials regarding inflation pressures and monetary policy tightening are complicating the policy outlook, with current market pricing indicating a less than 90% probability of a rate cut in October and around 60% for December [3] Group 3: Technical Analysis - From a technical perspective, gold prices are at a critical juncture, with key support levels between $3720 and $3715; a break below this range could trigger technical selling and push prices down to $3650 or even $3600 [4] - On the upside, gold faces resistance near $3753-$3754; a breakthrough could lead to a challenge of the historical high of $3790 set earlier in the week, and sustaining above the $3800 level would bolster confidence in a long-term upward trend for gold [4]

Core Viewpoint - International gold prices experienced fluctuations and closed higher, maintaining above the 5-day moving average, indicating a bullish outlook despite weakening bullish signals from indicators [1][3]. Price Movement - Gold opened at $3735.78 per ounce, reached a daily high of $3761.31, and a low of $3722.16, ultimately closing at $3749.12, with a daily range of $39.15 and a gain of $13.34, or 0.36% [3]. Influencing Factors - The decline in initial jobless claims and a significant upward revision of the U.S. Q2 GDP contributed to a strong rebound in the U.S. dollar index, which pressured gold prices initially. However, buying support from bargain hunters and safe-haven demand led to a recovery in gold prices [3]. Market Outlook - On September 26, gold prices showed weakness in early trading, with expectations of continued volatility. The bullish outlook is temporarily hindered by resistance levels and the recent strength of the dollar index, suggesting that gold may remain in a range until it breaks above $3780 or tests the support of the 10-day and 30-day moving averages [3]. Upcoming Data - Key data to watch includes the U.S. August core PCE price index and the final value of the September University of Michigan consumer sentiment index. Market expectations remain unchanged, but recent positive data trends suggest a likelihood of better-than-previous values, which could negatively impact gold prices [3].

美元指数短期均线呈现上行趋势，但动能有所减弱，显示多头力量趋缓。若指数继续上行，上方关键阻 力位在98.60与99.00附近；而若回落，下方支撑关注97.80与97.40一线。 穆萨勒姆表示，他上周支持降息25个基点，因为他认为劳动力市场面临的风险有所增加。但是，由于通 胀率比美联储2%的目标高出近一个百分点，进一步降息可能意味着对物价上涨的过度自满。"如果公众 开始怀疑通胀能否回归2%的目标，那么恢复价格稳定的工作将变得更加困难，并可能给经济带来更高 代价。"交易员的押注显示，美联储将在今年剩余的两次会议上再降息50个基点。此外，他的观点也与 美联储新任理事米兰相左。米兰在上周的会议上反对小幅降息，主张进行更大幅度的降息。 周五（9月26日）亚盘早盘，美元指数最新价报98.39，跌幅0.07%，开盘价为98.46。 美联储官员穆萨莱 姆对进一步降息表示怀疑，与金融市场普遍预期美联储今年将继续降低借贷成本的观点相左。 ...
