Core Viewpoint - The recent significant drop in gold prices is attributed to a rapid shift in market sentiment, influenced by geopolitical developments and U.S. economic signals, leading to a reassessment of gold's role as a safe-haven asset [1][5][11]. Short-term Fluctuations - The recent decline in gold prices is linked to a decrease in risk aversion among investors, driven by news of potential ceasefires in Ukraine and trade discussions in the U.S. [5][7]. - As a result, funds have shifted from gold to equities and commodities, reflecting a broader market optimism [5][7]. Mid-term Trends - U.S. interest rates play a crucial role in determining gold's attractiveness as an investment. When real interest rates are positive, gold becomes less appealing compared to interest-bearing assets [9][11]. - Current U.S. inflation is around 3%, with real interest rates approximately 4%, suggesting a challenging environment for gold unless interest rates are lowered [9][11]. Long-term Logic - The credibility of the U.S. dollar is fundamental to gold's long-term value. As concerns grow over U.S. debt and the weaponization of the dollar, many countries are diversifying their reserves into gold [11][13]. - Central banks have shown a consistent demand for gold, with net purchases exceeding 1,000 tons for two consecutive years, indicating a shift towards gold as a reliable asset [11][13]. Conclusion - The dynamics of gold prices are influenced by short-term geopolitical events, mid-term monetary policy, and long-term perceptions of the U.S. dollar's reliability. Investors should consider these factors before making decisions regarding gold investments [13].

Core Viewpoint - Economic uncertainty has heightened risk aversion, leading to a rebound in gold prices after hitting a low, with COMEX gold futures trading around $4092 per ounce [1] Market Performance - As of 14:23, the China Gold ETF (518850) decreased by 0.37%, while the Gold Stock ETF (159562) increased by 1.89%, and the Non-ferrous Metals ETF (516650) rose by 2.58% [1] Economic Context - The U.S. White House has warned that due to the ongoing government shutdown, it may not release the inflation data for October, marking the first time in history this data will not be published [1] - In the absence of this data, the interaction between Federal Reserve policy expectations and market sentiment will be the primary driver of gold price fluctuations [1] Investment Insights - According to Guangfa Fund Advisory, the recent pullback in gold prices is mainly due to easing concerns over geopolitical conflicts and some profit-taking by investors [1] - Despite the high volatility expected in the medium to long term, gold still holds certain asset allocation value [1]

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Views - Fundamentally, precious metals retreated from highs last week and showed a volatile upward trend. The easing of Sino-US trade relations reduced risk aversion, but geopolitical risks from the Russia-Ukraine conflict still drove the safe-haven demand for precious metals. The suspension of CFTC data and possible speculative long positions led to a significant correction in precious metals. With the decline of COMEX silver inventory, the squeeze in the London silver market gradually eased. In the short term, precious metals face correction pressure and will remain volatile and strong [3]. - In terms of capital, last week, COMEX gold and silver inventories continued to decline, and the tightness of London silver inventory gradually eased. The inflow of funds into gold and silver ETFs increased. Overall, ETF funds continued to flow into the precious metals sector last week [3]. - In terms of strategy, in the short term, pay attention to Sino-US economic and trade consultations and the negotiations at the APEC summit at the end of the month. The market has basically digested the expectation of a 25-basis-point interest rate cut by the Fed in October. In the long term, the US government shutdown continues, and the US national debt has exceeded $38 trillion, increasing the fiscal burden. Against the backdrop of de-dollarization and global political turmoil, central banks continue to buy gold, and precious metals still have allocation value. The prices of Shanghai gold and silver are expected to rise in the long term, fluctuate and adjust in the short term, and it is recommended to buy in batches on dips and hold long positions in the medium term [3]. Summary by Directory 1. Market Review - **Price Changes**: Gold and silver prices in both the spot and futures markets declined last week. For example, the spot price of gold in the London market dropped by 0.95%, and the COMEX silver futures price fell by 0.49%. COMEX gold and silver inventories also decreased, while total positions and speculative net long positions increased [5]. - **Gold-Silver Ratio**: The domestic gold-silver ratio rebounded last week. Due to the smaller market size, weaker liquidity, and lack of central bank buying support in the silver market, its decline was greater than that of gold, driving up the gold-silver ratio [7]. - **Price Spread between Domestic and Overseas Markets**: The price spreads of gold and silver between domestic and overseas markets decreased compared with last week. The decline in domestic precious metal prices was more significant. The improvement in Sino-US trade relations and the positive outlook of the 15th Five-Year Plan reduced the safe-haven demand for precious metals [12]. 2. Macroeconomic Factors - **US Dollar Index**: The US dollar index strengthened slightly last week, suppressing precious metals. The easing of Sino-US trade relations and the possible implementation of loose fiscal and monetary policies in Japan boosted the US dollar [13]. - **US Treasury Real Yield**: The real yields of 5-year and 10-year US Treasuries declined last week. The high debt scale and the government shutdown increased market concerns about the US fiscal sustainability, driving investors to buy US Treasuries and pushing down real yields [16]. - **US Key Economic Data**: - **CPI**: In September, the US CPI and core CPI increased year-on-year, slightly lower than expected. The inflation pressure of core commodities and services eased, and it is expected to open up space for the Fed to cut interest rates in October [20]. - **PPI**: In August, the US PPI was lower than expected year-on-year and turned negative month-on-month for the first time in four months, indicating a relief of inflation pressure at the production end [21]. - **Core PCE**: In August, the US core PCE and PCE increased year-on-year and month-on-month, in line with market expectations. Due to the slowdown in core inflation and employment risks, the market expects the Fed to cut interest rates by 25 basis points in October [27]. - **PMI**: In September, the US ISM manufacturing and service PMI were lower than expected, indicating a slowdown in manufacturing and service industries [30]. - **Retail Sales**: In August, the US retail sales increased month-on-month, higher than expected, mainly driven by online sales, clothing, and sports goods [30]. - **Employment Data**: In September, the US ADP employment decreased significantly, and the August non-farm payrolls were far lower than expected, with the unemployment rate rising to a four-year high. The government shutdown affected the release of employment data, increasing uncertainty [33]. - **US Government Shutdown**: The US government shutdown is likely to continue until November, becoming the second-longest in history. It has a negative impact on the economy and society, increasing the fiscal burden and employment pressure. However, the easing of Sino-US trade relations and the geopolitical risks from the Russia-Ukraine conflict have different effects on precious metals [35][36]. 3. Position Analysis - **Hedge Fund Positions**: As of September 23, 2025, CMX gold and silver speculative net long positions increased compared with the previous month, indicating that hedge funds increased their holdings of gold and silver [39]. - **ETF Positions**: As of October 23, 2025, the holdings of SPDR gold ETF and SLV silver ETF increased compared with last week. Overall, the inflow of funds into gold and silver ETFs increased significantly last week and then declined, remaining at a high level [40]. 4. Other Factors - **Gold and Silver Inventories**: As of October 24, 2025, COMEX gold and silver inventories decreased compared with last week. The return of silver inventory from New York to London eased the squeeze in the London silver market [45]. - **Gold and Silver Demand**: In October 2025, the global gold reserve decreased slightly, while China's gold reserve increased. In the second quarter of 2025, the global gold demand increased year-on-year, mainly driven by ETF investment. The global silver market is expected to be in short supply in 2025, with strong industrial demand, especially in the photovoltaic industry [49]. - **Key Events This Week**: This week, focus on the Fed's October interest rate meeting, with a 96.7% probability of a 25-basis-point interest rate cut, and the APEC summit, where the meeting between Chinese and US leaders may affect Sino-US trade negotiations [52].

Core Insights - The surge in gold prices in 2025, with a year-to-date increase of 66%, has led to a significant influx of retail investors, causing the UK Royal Mint's website to crash due to overwhelming traffic [1][3] - The demand for gold has been characterized by irrational behavior, with retail and institutional investors driving the buy-sell ratio to 10:1, far exceeding the normal 3:1 ratio [3][10] - Central banks, particularly the People's Bank of China, have been strategically increasing their gold reserves, contributing to market stability [4] Market Dynamics - The Federal Reserve's dovish signals and expectations of interest rate cuts have lowered the holding costs of gold, further driving investment towards it as a safe haven [6][8] - The recent geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainties have reinforced gold's appeal, although the price surge is also attributed to a self-reinforcing cycle of buying behavior [8][10] - The rapid price increase has led to a technical correction, with profit-taking observed as gold approached its peak, indicating a potential for volatility in the market [8][12] Investor Behavior - The current gold market frenzy reflects a collective anxiety in response to global economic uncertainties, with both central banks and retail investors seeking a "safe anchor" [10][12] - The phenomenon of retail investors overwhelming the Royal Mint's website highlights the risks of herd behavior in investment decisions, particularly in the context of information asymmetry [10][12] - The volatility in gold prices serves as a reminder that supply and demand fundamentally dictate market behavior, and that rational assessment of risk is crucial for investors [12]
