Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information about the report industry investment rating is provided in the given content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - On Thursday, precious metal prices fluctuated and rebounded. The sharp increase in the number of laid - off employees by Challenger companies in the US, with the technology and warehousing and logistics industries being the most affected, led to the dollar index falling below 100 during the day, a slight decline in US stocks, and most metals oscillating upwards [1][3]. - Precious metal prices currently lack significant drivers and are expected to maintain a volatile pattern in the short term. Attention should be paid to the trading window in December. Before and after the December FOMC meeting, there may be a game about the rate - cut space for next year. In the long term, excessive debt issuance and de - globalization are the core factors driving the decline of the US dollar's credit. Gold is the preferred asset to hedge against the US dollar's credit risk, and the trend of central bank gold purchases globally continues, with the long - term price center of gold expected to rise. Silver's trend is consistent with that of gold, expected to adjust in tandem in the short term and its price center is expected to move up in the long term following gold [3]. - The weekly price range for London gold is expected to be between 3800 and 4200, and for London silver between 46 and 52 [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Key Information - In October, the number of laid - off employees by Challenger companies in the US was 153,074, a year - on - year increase of 175.3% (the previous value was a decrease of 25.8%) and a month - on - month increase of 183% (the previous value was a decrease of 37.11%). The lay - offs were mainly concentrated in the technology and warehousing and logistics industries [2]. - The Bank of England kept the benchmark interest rate at 4.00%, in line with market expectations. It is predicted that the inflation rate will drop to 3.1% early next year and stabilize around the 2% target from the second quarter of 2027. The unemployment rate is expected to peak at 5.1% in the second quarter, higher than the 4.9% forecast in August. The Bank of England raised its economic growth forecast for this year from 1.25% to 1.5% and kept the forecasts for 2026 and 2027 unchanged [2]. - According to Revelio Labs data, the number of non - farm payrolls in the US decreased by 9,100 in October, compared with an increase of 33,000 in the previous month. The non - farm payroll report of the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) has been postponed due to the federal government shutdown [2]. 3.2 Price Logic - The short - term trend of precious metals is expected to be volatile, and attention should be paid to the trading window in December. Personnel changes in the Fed may become a positive driving factor. In the long term, gold is a preferred asset to hedge against the US dollar's credit risk, and the long - term price center of gold is expected to rise. Silver's trend is consistent with that of gold, and its price center is expected to move up in the long term [3]. 3.3 Price Outlook - The weekly price range for London gold is expected to be between 3800 and 4200, and for London silver between 46 and 52 [3]. 3.4 Index Information - The comprehensive index of CITICS Futures commodities on November 6, 2025, includes the commodity index (2244.89, +0.50%), the commodity 20 index (2541.79, +0.61%), and the industrial products index (2223.51, +0.45%) [43]. - As of November 6, 2025, the precious metals index had a daily increase of 0.83%, a 5 - day decrease of 0.35%, a 1 - month increase of 0.99%, and a year - to - date increase of 46.42% [45].

Core Viewpoint - The U.S. economy in 2025 is experiencing significant divergence, with traditional industries like manufacturing and real estate under pressure from tariffs and immigration policies, while the technology sector is buoyed by a surge in capital expenditure driven by artificial intelligence (AI) [3][5][6]. Supply Side: Tariff and Population Pressures - Tariffs have increased significantly, with the effective tariff rate rising from 2.4% last year to 11.5% this year, leading to a supply contraction effect [7][9]. - Immigration policies have tightened, resulting in a projected decline in population growth from an average of 1.5% during the Biden administration to 0.6% under Trump, which will further suppress labor supply and demand in housing and consumption [8][9]. - The combination of tariffs and reduced immigration is expected to create ongoing supply-side pressures, impacting economic growth potential if productivity does not improve [10]. Demand Side: AI Investment Cycle Fluctuations - AI is contributing approximately 0.7 percentage points to the U.S. GDP growth in the first half of 2025, but the marginal returns on capital investment are expected to decline as investment scales up [13][19]. - Other demand sectors are also facing cooling trends, with the real estate market undergoing active de-inventory and consumer spending showing a "K-shaped" recovery, where high-income groups maintain spending while low-income groups struggle [30][31]. - The AI investment cycle is characterized by heavy capital expenditure, which may not replicate the rapid growth seen during the internet bubble due to higher costs and a more cautious investment environment [19][20]. Inflation: Sticky Dynamics - Inflation is expected to exhibit stickiness, with core goods inflation influenced by tariffs and rental inflation continuing to slow down [4][37]. - Non-rent core service prices are supported by structural demand and labor costs, indicating resilience despite economic pressures [4][38]. - Consumer inflation expectations are rising, complicating the Federal Reserve's ability to achieve its inflation targets, with potential shifts in expectations from 2% to 3% [39][46]. Policy Outlook: Fiscal and Monetary Dynamics - Fiscal and monetary policies are anticipated to marginally loosen, but the overall stimulative effect may be limited due to offsetting tariff revenues [5][45]. - The Federal Reserve is expected to lower interest rates by 50 basis points in 2026, bringing the federal funds rate to a range of 3%-3.25% [5][45]. - The economic outlook for 2026 predicts a real GDP growth rate of 1.7%, with risks of "stagflation" emerging from supply-side constraints and demand-side weaknesses [5][54].

Core Viewpoint - The metal sector, represented by gold, silver, copper, and aluminum, has experienced significant volatility this year, with international gold prices surpassing $4000 per ounce for the first time, prompting discussions among investment institutions about the potential onset of a new commodity cycle [1][2]. Group 1: Gold Market Insights - International gold prices have shown a strong upward trend, with COMEX gold futures rising from $2735 per ounce at the beginning of the year to a historical high of over $4000 per ounce, currently stabilizing above this level [1]. - The shift in gold's pricing logic is attributed to two main factors: the global trend of de-dollarization and a crisis of trust driven by de-globalization [1][3]. Group 2: Broader Metal Market Trends - Besides precious metals, non-ferrous and rare metals have also seen upward movements, particularly industrial products like copper, aluminum, rare earths, and lithium, which are benefiting from advancements in artificial intelligence [2]. - The performance of non-ferrous metals is influenced by both the dollar's strength and downstream demand, with aluminum being highlighted as a potential key asset due to its defensive and offensive characteristics [2]. Group 3: Market Sentiment and Future Outlook - Public funds are optimistic about the potential for a cyclical uptrend in the metal sector, while several futures companies express caution, noting increased upward pressure on precious metals and potential short-term downward risks for non-ferrous metals [2]. - Analysts suggest that while there is medium to long-term investment value in precious and certain non-ferrous metals, the verification of this value may require a longer investment horizon [3].
