Report Title - "Yangtze River Futures Precious Metals Weekly Report: Rising Expectations of Interest Rate Cuts Provide Support for Prices" [1] Report Date - August 11, 2025 [1] Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View - The continuous weakening of US economic data has led to an increase in expectations of an interest rate cut in September, causing precious metal prices to fluctuate strongly. The implementation of the new round of US tariffs, the poor performance of July's non - farm payroll data, and the downward revision of May and June data have reversed the market's expectations of employment market resilience. Although the Fed's interest rate - setting meeting was hawkish, market concerns about the US fiscal situation and geopolitical outlook are expected to support precious metal prices. Attention should be paid to the US July CPI inflation data released on Tuesday [4][7][8] Summary by Directory 1. Market Review - Gold: US economic data weakened continuously, and the expectation of an interest rate cut in September increased. As of last Friday, the price of US gold was reported at $3458 per ounce, up 1.2% for the week.

Weekly View - New US tariffs took effect, July's non - farm payroll data was far below expectations, and data for May and June were significantly revised downwards, reversing the market's expectations of employment market resilience and increasing the market's expectation of an interest rate cut in September. The results of trade negotiations between the US and multiple countries were announced, and the tariff increase was generally lower than market expectations, increasing the market's optimistic expectation of a trade agreement between the US and Europe. Although the market expects an interest rate cut in September, Powell said at the interest - rate meeting that the conditions for a rate cut had not been met, and the meeting result was hawkish. Trump nominated a Fed governor. With the US tariff policy basically in place, the market is concerned about the US fiscal situation and geopolitical prospects, and precious metal prices are expected to be supported. Attention should be paid to the US July CPI inflation data [8] 3.

Group 1: CPI Analysis - In July 2025, the CPI increased by 0.4% month-on-month and remained flat year-on-year at 0.0% due to significant pressure from food prices[2] - Core CPI, excluding food and energy, rose to 0.8%, the highest in 17 months, indicating effective domestic demand policies[2] - Vegetable prices saw a significant decline due to high base effects from the previous year, while pork prices continued to drop due to weak terminal demand[2] Group 2: PPI Analysis - In July 2025, the PPI decreased by 3.6% year-on-year and by 0.2% month-on-month, marking a continued decline in the mining and raw material processing industries[2] - The coal mining and oil extraction sectors were the largest contributors to the PPI decline, with mining industries showing a year-on-year drop of 14.0%[2] - The report anticipates a slight recovery in PPI in August, projecting a year-on-year rate around -3%, influenced by high base effects from the previous year[2] Group 3: Future Outlook - The report suggests that while CPI may rise above 0 in August, energy prices remain a significant constraint on overall inflation recovery[2] - The ongoing weak demand in the mid and downstream sectors is expected to limit the positive impact of anti-involution policies on PPI[2] - The effectiveness of domestic policies in stimulating demand will be crucial for any significant recovery in PPI throughout the year[2]

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the given content. 2. Core Views of the Report - The inflation data in July showed that CPI was weakly recovering, while PPI was oscillating at the bottom. The positive changes in price operation were mainly due to the continuous manifestation of the effects of policies to expand domestic demand. In the future, prices may continue to rise moderately at a low level [1][2][3]. - In the short - term, the bond market may maintain a pattern of "oscillation + recovery". The overall stable macro - policy, fundamental logic, loose orientation of monetary policy, and reasonable and sufficient liquidity still support the bond market, but attention should be paid to the possible disturbances of changes in the stock and commodity markets to the bond market sentiment [3]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 7 - month Inflation Data: CPI Weakly Recovering, PPI Oscillating at the Bottom - In July, CPI was flat year - on - year (previous value was 0.1%), with a month - on - month increase of 0.4% (previous value was - 0.1%); PPI was - 3.6% year - on - year (unchanged from the previous value), and - 0.2% month - on - month (with the decline narrowing by 0.2 percentage points compared to the previous value) [1]. - The data in July confirmed "inflation at the bottom and structural differentiation". On one hand, policies to expand domestic demand promoted the recovery of service consumption and industrial consumer goods prices, and the increase in core CPI confirmed the marginal repair of internal driving force. On the other hand, seasonal factors and uncertainties in the international trade environment affected the price decline of some industries, and PPI was still oscillating at the bottom year - on - year [2]. - The rise in bulk prices in July deviated from the weak PPI. The reasons were that the price increase in the upstream could not be effectively transmitted to the downstream, and the insufficient terminal demand weakened the price transmission power. If there was no obvious repair of demand, the pulling effect of upstream price increases on PPI would be limited [3]. 3.2 CPI: Month - on - Month Change from Decline to Increase, Core CPI Reached a New High in the Year - In July, CPI was flat year - on - year, and the month - on - month change turned from decline to an increase of 0.4%, stronger than the seasonal level, mainly supported by service and industrial consumer goods prices. Core CPI increased by 0.8% year - on - year, with the increase expanding for three consecutive months, reaching a new high since March 2024 [9]. - Service prices increased by 0.6% month - on - month, contributing about 0.26 percentage points to the month - on - month increase of CPI. Affected by the peak summer travel season, prices of air tickets, tourism, hotel accommodation, and vehicle rental increased by 17.9%, 9.1%, 6.9%, and 4.4% respectively month - on - month [10]. - Industrial consumer goods prices increased by 0.5% month - on - month, with the increase expanding by 0.4 percentage points compared to the previous month, contributing about 0.17 percentage points to the month - on - month increase of CPI. Energy prices increased by 1.6% month - on - month, and industrial consumer goods prices excluding energy increased by 0.2% [11]. - Core CPI increased by 0.8% year - on - year, reaching a high point since March 2024, mainly due to the increase in the prices of gold and platinum jewelry. The year - on - year decline in automobile prices converged. Food prices decreased year - on - year, becoming the main drag on CPI [11]. 3.3 PPI: Month - on - Month Decline Narrowed, Year - on - Year Continued to Bottom - In July, PPI was - 3.6% year - on - year, remaining the same as the previous month, showing signs of bottoming out, indicating weak demand in the industrial sector. The month - on - month decline was 0.2%, with the decline narrowing by 0.2 percentage points compared to the previous month, the first narrowing of the month - on - month decline since March [18]. - The drag on the month - on - month PPI was mainly affected by seasonal disturbances and trade uncertainties. Eight industries in total affected the month - on - month decline of PPI by about 0.24 percentage points. Seasonal factors affected the PPI of some industries, and uncertainties in the international trade environment put pressure on the prices of export - related industries [19][20]. - Positive factors were that the effects of capacity governance and "anti - involution" policies were gradually emerging, and the month - on - month decline in the prices of coal, steel, photovoltaic, and lithium batteries narrowed, weakening the downward pull on PPI [20].

文 | 赵伟、屠强 联系人 | 屠强、耿佩璇 摘要 事件： 8月9日，国家统计局公布7月通胀数据，CPI同比0%、前值0.1%、预期-0.1%、环比0.4%；PPI同 比-3.6%、前值-3.6%、预期-3.4%、环比-0.2%。 核心观点：统计时点及中下游产能利用率偏低是PPI表现偏弱的两条"暗线"。 7月PPI继续磨底，大宗价格对PPI环比拉动虽转正，但统计上未囊括下旬的涨价情况，因而中上游PPI表 现不及高频数据。 PPI为每月5日、20日调查单价的简单平均值，而反内卷带动的涨价集中于下旬，因此 本月PPI（环比-0.2%）不及预期。高频数据也与PPI走势分化，7月煤、钢价格回升，而煤炭采选 （-1.5%）、黑色压延（-0.3%）环比仍为负。相比之下，油价、铜价对本月PPI贡献为正， 测算大宗商品 价格拉动PPI环比0.1%。 同时中下游价格对PPI拖累仍较大，也令7月PPI表现低于市场预期。 与2016年上游涨价向下游传导不同 的是，本轮供给过剩更多在中下游，导致上游涨价向下游传导受阻。如石化链下游PPI跌幅大于上游价格 理论传导幅度；机械设备、消费下游亦有类似特征， 测算7月中下游拖累PPI环比-0 ...

全球市场周一开盘陷入了寂静，A股、美元、黄金几乎都没怎么波动。这有点出入预料——既没有因为 降息预期升温而上涨，也没有因为上周五的大跌而恐慌。 · 一方面，下次发布非农数据市场还会不会相信？如果不信任，那么波动将加剧。特朗普解雇了劳工统 计局局长，并称数据受到操纵。 · 另一方面，市场上很多人还没意识到"二次伤害"正在逼近。9月美国劳工部还要发布2025年3月的"基准 修正"初步估计。根据高盛的预测，可能会再砍掉 55-95万人。换句话说，接下来可能还要再平均"月 减"4.5万到8万人。如果属实，将是2010年以来最大的一次下修。这不仅是修正过去，也是重新定义当 前的"真实就业水平"。 安静背后，并非是因为缺少催化剂，而是"怀疑气氛持续加重"。 第一，初步答案将交给今晚，届时看美股的表现，如果其能够止跌，那么市场将迅速忘记当前的痛苦。 第二，美元的走势也是备受关注的，如果其能够收涨，证明非农数据不过是"一日行情"——焦点将迅速 转向下周的通胀数据，以及下个月的非农数据。 第三，上周五的非农就业报告发布，可能令就业数据上升到了与通胀数据同样重要的程度。不过，现实 的一个问题是——美国就业数据失去了信任——4月和 ...
