Group 1: Core Viewpoints - The epic bull market of gold and silver experienced its first significant correction last Friday, and market divergence has significantly increased [2]. - The easing of Sino - US trade tensions, the potential de - escalation of the Russia - Ukraine conflict, and the possible Fed rate cut in October (already priced in by the market) have led to a decline in gold and silver prices [2][4]. - The silver shortage in the London market has started to ease, prompting some investors to take profits [4]. - In the long run, the bullish fundamentals of gold and silver have not reversed, but in the short term, there will be an oscillation and consolidation period to digest profit - taking and short - term negative factors [4]. Group 2: Reasons for Market Changes Sino - US Trade Relations - Trump's latest statement on Sino - US trade negotiations shows a willingness to reach an agreement, with a possible further extension of the tariff suspension period, reducing market risk aversion [2]. Geopolitical Situation - After the cease - fire in the Palestine - Israel conflict, the Russia - Ukraine conflict shows signs of de - escalation, further weakening market risk aversion [2]. Fed Policy - Fed Chairman Powell hinted at a 25 - basis - point rate cut this month and a possible halt to balance - sheet reduction in the coming months, but the market has already priced this in [4]. Market Supply - The previous historical silver shortage in the London market has started to ease [4].

Core Viewpoint - The People's Bank of China (PBOC) has decided to maintain the Loan Prime Rate (LPR) unchanged for October, with the 1-year LPR at 3.0% and the 5-year LPR at 3.5%, marking five consecutive months without a change [3][5]. Group 1: Reasons for No Rate Cut - The narrowing interest margin is causing banks to earn less, with the net interest margin dropping to a historical low of 1.42%, making further rate cuts potentially unprofitable for banks [7]. - The policy interest rates have not changed, which means the pricing anchor for LPR remains stable, preventing any reduction [8][9]. - Market interest rates have increased, with the 1-year interbank certificate of deposit yield rising from 1.43% in August to 1.65% in September, leading to higher financing costs for banks and reducing the incentive to lower LPR [10]. - The central bank is assessing the effects of previous monetary policies, including a recent injection of 500 billion yuan in policy financial tools and a similar amount for local government debt limits, which require time to show results [11]. Group 2: Future Rate Cut Predictions - Experts suggest there may still be room for a rate cut by the end of the year, potentially by 50 basis points, due to concerning economic indicators such as a 0.3% year-on-year decline in CPI and a core CPI of only 1.0%, indicating deflationary pressures [13]. - The acceleration of growth-stabilizing policies, including the recent introduction of 500 billion yuan in new policy financial tools and local government debt limits, may also support the case for a rate cut [13]. - The external pressure from the Federal Reserve's rate cuts may weaken, allowing the PBOC to consider targeted adjustments, particularly to the 5-year LPR to support the real estate market [13].

Group 1 - The U.S. stock market experienced a significant drop due to Trump's tariff threats, with major indices hitting a one-month low and the Dow facing its first five-day losing streak in two months [1] - Nearly 40% of the U.S. stock market's value is concentrated in 10 large-cap stocks, primarily in the AI sector, which carries high expectations for growth [7] - The overall valuation of the U.S. stock market is currently overvalued by 3% compared to fair value, a situation that has occurred only about 15% of the time since 2010 [4] Group 2 - The growth momentum driven by AI and related investments is providing new support for the U.S. economy, while expectations of two interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve by year-end may mitigate macroeconomic headwinds [11] - Economic pressures such as slowing consumer spending, weak new home construction, and diminishing fiscal stimulus effects pose challenges for the U.S. economy in the coming months [11] - Historical data indicates that commodities typically rise by an average of 3% in the nine months following the first interest rate cut, with specific patterns observed in commodity price movements [12][13] Group 3 - The performance of commodities during interest rate cut cycles varies significantly based on the economic context, with strong returns in healthy economic conditions and declines during recessionary periods [15] - Energy and precious metals tend to perform well during rate cut cycles, with average increases of 10% and 7% respectively, while industrial metals lag behind with an average decline of 4% [15] - The current state of the U.S. stock market suggests that if it weakens, there may be a surge in profit-taking, while commodities could present more certain investment opportunities under the backdrop of rate cuts [15]

我问你个问题，你觉不觉得最近这市场有点不正常？ 明明消息还没落地，资金就像提前排队买票一样，生怕错过什么大事。结果一看，美联储这次真不是光降息的问题，鲍威尔那句"准备结束缩 表"，分量比降息还重。 降息25个基点本来就够市场嗨一阵，结果再加个结束缩表。等于是美联储同时踩油门和放刹车松一脚，直接给市场打了个"信心强心针"。 我脑子里当时只有一个念头：这操作，熟悉。 我当时看到那行字，整个人怔了一下。 我翻了下美联储官网数据，从2022年开始，他们缩表规模已经超过1万亿美元。现在突然停，这背后说明什么？要么是经济真扛不住了，要么是 金融系统出了他们担心的问题。路透社的数据也显示，美国9月新增非农就业人数只有13.6万人，创下半年新低，失业率从3.8%升到3.9%。看着 数字不大，但在美国那可是警钟。 2019年他们也干过类似的事，当时是降息三次加停缩表，美股就一路往上飙。标普500那年涨了28.9%，连A股都被带着走了一波。今年这套动 作，几乎照搬，只不过背景更危险——通胀还没下去。 美国劳工部公布的9月CPI同比上涨3.4%，核心CPI也有3.7%。这水平，说实话，离他们目标的2%还差一大截。按理说，不该这么快 ...

昨天晚上刷手机，看到一条新闻差点让我从沙发上蹦起来——美联储主席鲍威尔宣布要停止缩表了！ 可能有朋友要问了，缩表听起来挺专业，跟咱们普通人有啥关系？ 更要命的是经济数据。2025年美国GDP增速预期才1.6%，失业率要升到4.5%。你品品这数字，经济明显疲软了啊！这时候还继续抽水，不是要把 美国经济往死里整吗？ 说实话，这消息来得有点猝不及防。要知道，过去三年美联储就像个狠心的管家，拿着大剪刀咔咔咔，硬生生把自己的资产负债表从9万亿美元 砍到了6.6万亿。现在突然说要停手，这背后到底发生了什么？ 打个比方吧，你可以把美联储想象成全球金融市场的"大水龙头"。以前疫情那会儿，为了救经济，这水龙头开得哗哗的，钱像自来水一样往外 流。结果呢？钱多了就不值钱了，通胀一路飙到6.2%，创了30年新高！ 到了2022年中，美联储一看不行啊，再这么下去美元都要变废纸了。于是开始"拧紧水龙头"，专业说法就叫缩表——把市面上流通的钱收回来， 让钱变得更值钱。 这招确实挺狠的。三年时间，硬是从市场上抽走了2.4万亿美元！ 好端端的，为啥突然就不抽了？ 要我说，鲍威尔这次是真的扛不住了。 你想啊，抽水抽得太猛会出啥问题？银行的钱不够 ...
