1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided 2. Core Viewpoints - The Fed officials made dovish statements after the game with the Trump administration, and the subsequent release of expectations for both fiscal and monetary expansion in the US will drive precious metal prices to strengthen again. The expansion of the US fiscal deficit and the loosening of monetary policy are difficult to change in the short - term. For international gold prices, a strategy of waiting for the price to fall and stabilize before buying on dips should be maintained, while the start of the silver market needs to wait for further dovish statements from the Fed. The reference operating range for the Shanghai Gold main contract is 748 - 836 yuan/gram, and for the Shanghai Silver main contract is 7804 - 8444 yuan/kilogram [2][3] 3.

The US budget deficit in March was 160.5 billion US dollars, and the cumulative fiscal deficit in the 2025 fiscal year (starting from October 2024) reached 1.3 trillion US dollars, a significant increase from 1.06 trillion in the same period last year [2] Monetary Policy - The Trump administration previously criticized the Fed's monetary policy, but Trump's attitude changed, saying he had no plan to fire Fed Chairman Powell.
