Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided Core View of the Report - On Wednesday, precious metals maintained a volatile and upward trend, with significant high - level fluctuations in silver. The unexpectedly weak ADP employment in the US increased the probability of a December interest rate cut, and the expectation of loose liquidity still dominated the market. The overall logical environment is conducive to the rise of precious metals this month, and in the long - term, the decline of the US dollar credit will drive the upward trend of precious metals. [1][3] Summary by Relevant Catalog Key Information - The cooling of the US labor market exceeded expectations. The ADP employment in November decreased by 32,000, the largest decline since March 2023. The probability of the Fed cutting interest rates by 25 basis points in December is nearly 90%. [2] - The US import and export price indices in September were flat month - on - month, with the import price index rising 0.3% year - on - year and the export price index rising 3.8% year - on - year. [2] - US President Trump mentioned that Kevin Hassett is a potential Fed chairman. [2] - US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent predicted that the US economy will achieve "real wage growth" and "low - inflation growth" and return to 4% growth in 2026. [2] Price Logic - Short - term: Precious metals were volatile and upward on Wednesday, with large fluctuations in silver. The unexpectedly weak ADP employment increased the probability of a December interest rate cut, and the loose liquidity expectation dominated the market. [1][3] - Medium - term: This month, the expectation of loose liquidity is the core driving force. With the approaching Fed chairman nomination, the relatively dovish Hassett has the highest popularity, and the period from nomination to taking office may see the smoothest trading of loose liquidity expectations and Fed independence. The spot - end driving force for silver remains, and the squeeze - out trading is spreading. [3] - Long - term: The long - term upward trend of precious metals is driven by the contraction of the US dollar credit. The expansion of the US currency and the global fiscal expansion may lead to a mild economic recovery, and silver may have greater elasticity. [3] Outlook - This week, the range of the London gold spot is expected to be between $4,000 and $4,400 per ounce, and the range of the London silver spot is expected to be between $53 and $60 per ounce. [3] Commodity Index - On December 3, 2025, the comprehensive commodity index was 2270.14, down 0.22%; the commodity 20 index was 2587.91, down 0.13%; the industrial product index was 2219.45, down 0.41%. [43] - The precious metal index on December 3, 2025, was 3506.69, with a daily increase of 0.24%, a 5 - day increase of 4.03%, a 1 - month increase of 9.15%, and a year - to - date increase of 58.50%.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - Gold prices have risen above $4,070 per ounce. Weakening US consumer confidence and employment indicators have strengthened expectations of interest rate cuts, partially offsetting the negative impact of the end of the government shutdown. The market's trading logic has returned to expectations of loose liquidity [1]. - The current gold price is driven by the resonance of "economic weakness" and "fiscal expansion". The silver price follows the rhythm of gold, with an expected monthly oscillation. In the long - term, gold is the anchor for silver pricing, and a contraction in the US dollar's credit is beneficial to physical currencies, with gold benefiting first and silver enjoying spill - over effects [3]. - The weekly price of London gold is expected to be in the range of $3,800 - $4,200 per ounce, and that of London silver in the range of $46 - $52 per ounce [6]. Group 3: Summary by Related Catalogs Key Information - The US Senate passed a temporary appropriation bill, ending a 40 - day government shutdown. Federal employees have returned to work, and lagging data will be released gradually [2]. - The US consumer confidence index dropped to a three - and - a - half - year low (50.3), and Challenger job cuts soared by 183% compared to the previous month, indicating a continuous cooling of the labor market [2]. - Sino - US trade flow has been weak, shipping capacity has dropped to the lowest level this year, and the WCI freight index has fallen from its mid - year high, showing a slowdown in foreign trade demand, which supports the expectation of a decline in US inflation and strengthens the Fed's logic of loosening [2]. - San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said the US economy is experiencing a "downward demand shock", wage growth has slowed, inflation is still under control, and the impact of tariffs is mainly limited to the commodity sector. She hinted that the December meeting will maintain a loose stance [2]. - The People's Bank of China increased its gold reserves for the 12th consecutive month in October, and global gold ETFs recorded net inflows in the past two days [2]. Price Logic Gold - The economic aspect: The decline in consumption and employment caused by the shutdown is gradually emerging. Alternative indicators show a slowdown in economic momentum. Sino - US shipping and trade flow declines support the Fed's decision to continue cutting interest rates in December. Mary Daly's statement further consolidates market bets on interest rate cuts [3]. - The fiscal aspect: The government's resumption of work brings one - time expenditure replenishment and the continuation of medical insurance subsidies. Short - term fiscal investment may push up long - term interest rates and cause short - term fluctuations, but in the medium - term, US debt expansion and deficit pressure will extend the loose cycle, which is beneficial to the reserve and hedging demand for gold [3]. Silver - The silver price follows the rhythm of gold, with an expected monthly oscillation. Focus on the trading window around the December FOMC meeting. In the long - term, gold is the anchor for silver pricing, and a contraction in the US dollar's credit benefits physical currencies, with gold benefiting first and silver enjoying spill - over effects. Interest rate cuts will drive the repair of the US fundamentals, and with global fiscal resonance expansion, the world may shift from a soft landing to a moderate recovery in 2026, which is conducive to the release of silver's long - term elasticity [3][6]. Commodity Index - On November 10, 2025, the comprehensive index, the commodity 20 index, and the industrial products index of the CITICS Futures Commodity Index increased by 0.65%, 0.71%, and 0.48% respectively [43].

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not mentioned in the provided content Group 2: Report's Core View - In November, copper prices will fluctuate at high levels, and the operation strategy of buying on dips should be maintained. There are liquidity easing expectations in the macro - market, and the short - term concern about Sino - US trade issues has significantly eased. Fundamentally, overseas ore supply pressure persists, domestic smelter maintenance impacts deepen, and most inventories are at relatively low levels except in the US. The demand side has strong resilience. After copper prices hit a new high, they lack upward drive and investors need to be vigilant about tail risks and seize adjustment buying opportunities [5][6] Group 3: Summary by Directory 1.后市研判 (Outlook for the Future) - In November, copper prices will fluctuate at high levels. With the market gradually reaching a consensus on tightening supply, the psychological upper limit of the downstream for copper prices is gradually rising. After copper prices hit a new high, they lack upward drive due to the Fed's hawkish remarks and the rebound of the US dollar index and US Treasury yields. Investors should be vigilant about tail risks and seize adjustment buying opportunities [5][6] 2.行情回顾 (Market Review) - In October, copper prices were generally strong. Affected by overseas mine operation disruptions, copper prices gapped up after the National Day holiday. Then, due to the US provoking a "trade war" against China, copper prices slightly corrected.

The US government's "shutdown" in October affected the release of economic data. The CPI data in September showed that overall inflation was controllable, which further consolidated the market's expectation of the Fed's rate cut in October [11][14] - **Sino - US Trade Relations**: In October, the US provoked a "trade war" against China again, causing copper prices to fall. However, through Sino - US economic and trade consultations, the two sides reached a consensus on multiple issues, and the short - term concern about Sino - US trade issues significantly eased, enhancing market confidence in the economic growth of the two countries [16] - **Domestic Economic and Policy Situation**: China's Q3 GDP grew by 4.8% year - on - year. The Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was held, and the "15th Five - Year Plan" proposal was reviewed and approved, which will bring policy benefits to the terminal application fields. The copper industry should prevent "involution - style" vicious competition and ensure the safety of the industrial chain and supply chain. The US has adjusted its copper resource strategy, which may change the global copper supply flow [18][22][23] 4.基本面 (Fundamental Aspects) - **Supply Side**: In September, China's copper ore concentrate imports decreased month - on - month, with a sharp drop in shipments from Chile. Overseas mine operation disturbances increased, and the processing fee for imported copper concentrates remained in the negative range. Except for the significant accumulation of copper inventories in the US, LME and SHFE copper inventories decreased or remained stable. In October, the output of electrolytic copper continued to decline due to the peak of smelter maintenance, the impact of recycled copper policies, and the low processing fee of copper concentrates [24][28][31][35] - **Demand Side**: In September, China's scrap copper imports increased month - on - month and year - on - year. The expected decline in the operating rate of the refined copper rod industry in October was due to the high copper price.

The real estate market is weak, with a decline in construction area, new construction area, and sales area. The automobile market maintained a high - growth trend, and the new energy vehicle market performed well. The home appliance market entered a seasonal off - season [39][43][47][50][56][59]
