Group 1 - The traditional negative correlation between gold prices and real interest rates has weakened, leading to a new pricing framework for gold [1][3] - Prior to 2022, the relationship between gold prices and real interest rates was stable, with rising real rates leading to decreased demand for gold and vice versa [3] - Since 2022, gold prices have remained strong even in the context of significant increases in real interest rates, challenging the traditional pricing logic [3] Group 2 - Central bank gold purchases have become a significant driver of gold prices, with over 1000 tons bought in the past three years, double the average from 2010 to 2021 [4] - Concerns over the dominance of the US dollar and the need for diversified asset allocation have led to increased central bank demand for gold [4] - The uncertainty in the monetary system is reshaping gold's role as a store of value, with investors viewing it as a core asset to mitigate monetary risks rather than just an inflation hedge [4] Group 3 - The importance of gold as a diversification tool in investment portfolios has increased amid global economic uncertainty [4] - Institutional investors are beginning to see gold as a necessary long-term allocation rather than a short-term trading asset, providing ongoing support for gold prices [4]

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the complex market dynamics of gold prices following the Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes, highlighting three distinct phases of price evolution after the last rate increase in July 2024. Group 1: Short-term Volatility Driven by Expectations - Prior to the July 2024 rate hike, gold prices fell from $2468 per ounce to $2380 per ounce, a decline of approximately 3.6% as the market had already priced in the rate increase [3] - Following the rate hike, if the Federal Reserve signals a dovish stance, gold may rebound quickly; for instance, after Chairman Powell indicated that inflation was under control, gold prices rose to $2420 per ounce within 48 hours, an increase of 1.7% [3] Group 2: Mid-term Dynamics of Real Interest Rates and the Dollar - After the rate hike, changes in real interest rates (nominal rates minus inflation expectations) become crucial; for example, in March 2025, the 10-year Treasury yield fell from 4.58% to 4.24%, leading to a 12.5% increase in gold prices from 905 yuan per gram to 1018 yuan per gram [4] - Conversely, if inflation expectations decline unexpectedly, rising real interest rates could suppress gold prices; in June 2025, gold prices fell from 1018 yuan per gram to 984 yuan per gram, a decrease of 3.3% due to an increase in core PCE inflation expectations to 3% [4] Group 3: Long-term Support from Structural Factors - Central bank gold purchases provide long-term support; in Q1 2025, net gold purchases by central banks reached 289 tons, a year-on-year increase of 62%, with China's gold reserves hitting a record high of 2292 tons [4] - Despite a temporary strengthening of the dollar index post-rate hike, central bank purchases supported a 19% annual increase in gold prices, significantly outperforming the commodity index [4] - Investors should monitor three key signals: the "critical point" of a shift in Federal Reserve policy (e.g., unemployment rate exceeding 4.5%), the correlation between geopolitical risk indices and gold ETF holdings (e.g., a 5-ton increase in gold ETF holdings during Middle East conflicts in June 2025), and the spillover effects of industrial policies like carbon tariffs on precious metals with industrial properties [4]

所以，洗盘的行情不要看的太远，见好就收即可，别总想着拿长线，不然到手的利润又没了，波段交易就行，等待市场走出来单边之后再跟随趋 势。 反复洗盘，来回横跳，地缘风险也没能托起黄金大涨，短期看空也没能让金价跳水，一会给多头希望，一会给空头幻想，转眼两个月过去了，震 荡到现在还没能结束。 最近，地缘风险不断升级，避险情绪未能彻底点燃，以色列和伊朗的上空火箭横飞，美国已经开始陷入以色列战争当中，给未来增加了更多的不 确定性。 不过，这一次战争的影响对市场并不大，周一原油和黄金全线跳空高开，之后就一路阴跌向下，中途出现几次强势反弹，但明显获利盘选择离场 观望，导致金价上涨后又遇滑铁卢。 两个方面： 首先，战争持续在进行，但对市场的影响并不持续，俄乌冲突到现在三年多过去了，巴以战争也成了持久战，市场现在已经对地缘风险产生抗体 了，除非美国和伊朗背后大哥普京正式开干，那肯定能带动黄金起飞。 其次，美联储货币政策才是重点，到底降不降息，什么时候降，降多少？通胀已经下降了，鲍威尔到现在金口不松，推迟降息时间和周期这可能 会给市场减少买入的底气。 最后，各国央行还能不能像去年一样加码买黄金，自2024年11月5日特朗普上任后，央 ...

Group 1: General Information - Report Period: June 23 - 27, 2025 [1] - Report Title: Weekly Report on Gold and Silver Futures [2] Group 2: Gold Futures 1. Mid - term Market Analysis - Mid - term Trend: The overall trend of Shanghai Gold futures is in an upward channel, and it may be near the end of the trend [7] - Trend Logic: Last week, the Fed's hawkish signals pushed up the US dollar and US Treasury yields, suppressing the gold price. However, geopolitical risks (escalation of the Middle - East conflict) and ETF purchases (an 8.31 - ton weekly increase in SPDR) provided support, causing gold to enter a consolidation phase. Next week, focus on economic data (core PCE, non - farm payrolls) and geopolitical situations. Weak data strengthening the interest - rate cut expectation or new changes in the Middle - East may lead to a gold price rebound; a continuously strengthening US dollar may continue to drive the price down. Central bank gold purchases provide long - term support, but policy fluctuations may intensify short - term volatility [7] - Mid - term Strategy: It is recommended to wait and see [8] 2. Variety Trading Strategy - Last Week's Strategy Review: It was expected that the main gold contract 2508 would fluctuate at a high level in the short term, and it was recommended to wait and see. The lower support was 774 - 782, and the upper resistance was 800 - 808 [10] - This Week's Strategy Suggestion: It is expected that the main gold contract 2508 will fluctuate at a high level in the short term, and it is recommended to wait and see. The lower support is 766 - 775, and the upper resistance is 800 - 808 [11] 3. Relevant Data - Data includes the trend of Shanghai Gold and COMEX gold prices, SPDR gold ETF holdings, COMEX gold inventory, 10 - year US Treasury yields, US dollar index, US dollar against offshore RMB, gold - silver ratio, Shanghai Gold basis, and gold's internal - external price difference [17][19][21] Group 3: Silver Futures 1. Mid - term Market Analysis - Mid - term Trend: The overall trend of Shanghai Silver futures is in a consolidation phase, and it may be near the end of the trend [30] - Trend Logic: Last week, the silver price first rose and then fell, mainly driven by fluctuations in Fed policy expectations (interest rates remained unchanged but the easing expectation increased) and US dollar fluctuations. The industrial property of silver (surge in photovoltaic demand + global shortage) drove the silver price to a new high. The repair of the gold - silver ratio strengthened the upward trend, but hawkish signals and the stabilization of the US dollar led to profit - taking. Next week, a tight supply - demand balance (low inventory) and dovish expectations are expected to support a relatively strong consolidation. Be vigilant against the suppression of a US dollar rebound, and the impact of geopolitical risks is limited [30] - Mid - term Strategy: It is recommended to wait and see [31] 2. Variety Trading Strategy - Last Week's Strategy Review: It was expected that the silver contract 2508 would operate strongly, with the lower support range at 8300 - 8500 and the upper resistance at 8900 - 9000 [33] - This Week's Strategy Suggestion: It is expected that the silver contract 2508 will operate strongly, with the lower support range at 8300 - 8500 and the upper resistance at 8900 - 9000 [33] 3. Relevant Data - Data includes the trend of Shanghai Silver and COMEX silver prices, SLV silver ETF holdings, COMEX silver inventory, Shanghai Silver basis, and silver's internal - external price difference [41][43][45]

Group 1: Macro and Stock Index - The Lujiazui Forum released eight major financial policies, including the establishment of a bank - to - bank market transaction reporting library and a digital RMB international operation center. Policies such as optimizing the functions of free trade accounts and developing free - trade offshore bonds are beneficial to cross - border capital flows and foreign - trade enterprise financing, injecting liquidity expectations into the market [2]. - The Shanghai Composite 50 index fell 0.15%, the CSI 300 rose 0.12%, the CSI 500 fell 0.09%, and the CSI 1000 rose 0.53%. The 1 - year implied volatility of the CSI 1000 index option was 21.2%, higher than that of the CSI 300 (15.6%), indicating a higher expected volatility for small - and medium - cap stocks [2]. - The futures discount rates of the CSI 500 and CSI 1000 were 0.3% and 0.5% respectively, reflecting short - term selling pressure. Attention should be paid to the sustainability of the resonance between technical repair and policy benefits [2]. Group 2: Crude Oil - The conflict between Iran and Israel is a key factor affecting oil prices. Market sentiment is cautious, and oil price volatility has increased significantly. The summer peak season for crude oil is approaching, and US inventories have declined for four consecutive weeks, supporting price increases [3]. - If the Middle East situation, especially Iran's counter - attack against Israel, continues to escalate, oil prices are likely to rise. Multiple institutions predict that if the conflict expands, oil prices may return to the high - price range. If the conflict eases, the risk premium of crude oil will quickly decline [3]. - The WTI main contract should focus on the resistance around $78 per barrel [3]. Group 3: Gold - Israel's expanded military strikes on Iran and the threat of enhanced sanctions by the Trump administration have increased the risk of shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, leading to a continuous increase in the demand for gold as a safe - haven asset. Trump's claim to impose new tariffs on the pharmaceutical industry has also intensified concerns about global trade frictions [4]. - The world's largest gold ETF (SPDR Gold Trust) has seen inflows for three consecutive days. Gold prices have been consolidating for two consecutive days, trading below $3400 per ounce in the Asian session. The market is waiting for the Fed's interest - rate decision and policy guidance [4][5]. - In the short term, gold prices are supported by geopolitical risks, central - bank gold purchases, and expectations of interest - rate cuts, but volatility will increase. If the Fed sends a dovish signal or shipping in the Strait of Hormuz is interrupted, gold prices may break through $3400. If the geopolitical situation eases or the Fed delays interest - rate cuts, gold prices may回调 to $3350 [5]. Group 4: Silver - On June 18, 2025, during the Asian session, the spot silver price reached a high of $37.313 per ounce, the highest since 2012, and maintained a high - level volatile pattern [6]. - The continuous escalation of the conflict between Iran and Israel, the strengthening of the US military deployment in the Middle East, and Trump's threat to impose new tariffs have increased geopolitical risks, driving up the price of silver. The short - term profit - taking of funds has not changed the net increase in holdings throughout the year [6]. - Silver has broken through the resistance around $37 under the resonance of its financial and industrial attributes. Attention should be paid to the short - term impact of the Fed's FOMC interest - rate decision on silver prices [6]. Group 5: Chemicals PTA - The spot price in East China was 5205 yuan/ton, with a month - on - month increase of 185 yuan/ton, and the basis was 309 yuan/ton. The rise in crude oil prices supported PTA prices, but the upside was limited [7]. - In June, PTA plant maintenance and restart were concurrent, with an overall operating rate of 83.25%, a month - on - month increase of 4.25%. The inventory days were 4.03 days, basically the same as the previous period. Polyester factory and Jiangsu - Zhejiang loom loads decreased, and the textile market was in a off - season [7]. - In the short term, PTA prices may fluctuate following the cost side [7]. Ethylene Glycol - The spot price in East China was 4547 yuan/ton, with a month - on - month increase of 77 yuan/ton, and the basis was 76 yuan/ton. Affected by geopolitical factors, some Middle - East plants stopped production, but the overall operating rate increased [8]. - The inventory in East China's main ports decreased, and the demand from polyester factories and Jiangsu - Zhejiang looms declined, with a decrease in terminal order days [8]. - In the short term, ethylene glycol prices may show a narrow - range bullish fluctuation [8]. PVC - The mainstream spot price of Type 5 PVC in East China was 4790 yuan/ton, with a month - on - month increase of 40 yuan/ton. The supply side decreased slightly, and the demand from domestic downstream enterprises did not improve significantly, with mainly rigid - demand transactions [9]. - As of June 12, PVC social inventory decreased, but the fundamentals did not improve significantly, and the futures price was oscillating at a low level [9]. - The fundamentals of PVC remain weak, and the futures price will oscillate at a low level [9]. PP - The mainstream prices of PP拉丝 in North, East, and South China increased slightly. The average capacity utilization rate of polypropylene increased, and domestic production increased both month - on - month and year - on - year [10]. - The average operating rate of downstream industries decreased, and the port inventory decreased. The futures price rebounded due to market sentiment, but the fundamentals were weak [10]. - The fundamentals of PP have not improved, and attention should be paid to the risk of a decline in market sentiment [10][11]. Plastic - The mainstream spot prices in North, East, and South China increased. The capacity utilization rate of polyethylene production enterprises increased, while the operating rate of downstream products decreased [12]. - The inventory of polyethylene production enterprises decreased. The futures price rebounded due to the increase in crude - oil prices, but the fundamentals were weak [12]. - The fundamentals of plastic are weak, and attention should be paid to the risk of a decline in market sentiment [12]. Soda Ash - The mainstream prices of heavy soda ash in different regions remained unchanged. The overall operating rate of soda ash increased, and production increased significantly [14]. - The manufacturer's inventory increased, and the social inventory decreased. The demand was average, and the market lacked new driving forces [14]. - The futures market of soda ash is expected to continue to oscillate at the bottom in the short term [14]. Glass - The market prices of 5mm large - size glass in different regions remained unchanged. The operating rate of float glass increased slightly, and the weekly output decreased slightly [15]. - The manufacturer's inventory decreased slightly, but the pressure during the rainy season cannot be ignored. The demand remained weak [15]. - The glass futures market is expected to oscillate weakly in the short term [15]. Rubber - The spot prices of different types of rubber and raw - material prices in He'ai were provided. Rubber prices rebounded due to market sentiment, but the increase was restricted by the repeated trade - war situation and the oversupply situation [17]. - The domestic and Southeast - Asian rubber - producing areas have entered the harvest season, with a loose supply situation. The operating rates of downstream tire enterprises increased [17]. - Attention should be paid to the operating conditions of the downstream rubber industry, and rubber prices are expected to rebound due to market resonance [17]. Methanol - The domestic spot price of methanol increased. The futures price of the main contract increased, and the port inventory increased. The domestic operating rate of the methanol industry decreased slightly, and Iranian methanol plants stopped production due to geopolitical conflicts [18][19]. - The operating rates of MTO and MTBE devices increased, while the demand from traditional downstream industries remained weak [19]. - In the short term, the futures price of methanol may maintain a slightly bullish oscillation. Attention should be paid to changes in port inventory and the recovery of Iranian plants [19]. Group 6: Agricultural Products Corn - The mainstream purchase prices of new corn in Northeast China and North China were provided. The USDA's June supply - and - demand report was slightly bullish, but the support was limited [20]. - The domestic corn market is in a transitional period between old and new grains, with a potential shortage of supply. Downstream demand is weak, but the substitution effect of wheat has decreased, which is beneficial to corn prices [20]. - The main corn futures contract is expected to oscillate between 2300 - 2400 yuan/ton in the short term. Attention should be paid to whether it can break through the upper resistance level [20]. Peanut - The spot prices of peanuts in different regions were provided. The increase in the bio - fuel standard in the United States has supported the peanut - futures market, but there is no continuous upward momentum for peanut prices [21]. - It is estimated that the domestic peanut - planting area will increase in 2025. Currently, the market is in a period of inventory consumption, with a situation of weak supply and demand. Low inventory may drive up prices [21]. - In the short term, the main peanut - futures contract is unlikely to have a trending market and is expected to oscillate within a range [21]. Cotton - The spot price index of Chinese cotton and the arrival price of Xinjiang cotton were provided. The improvement in Sino - US economic and trade relations and the USDA's supply - and - demand report have had a bullish impact on cotton prices [22]. - The expected increase in cotton production in the new year may lead to a loose supply situation. Currently, cotton imports are low, and commercial inventory is lower than in previous years. The textile market is in an off - season, with insufficient new orders and increasing inventory pressure [22][23]. - Cotton prices are expected to be slightly bullish in the short term. Attention should be paid to whether the previous gap can be filled [23]. Pig - The average price of ternary hybrid pigs in major production and sales areas increased. The supply of pigs in the market is sufficient, while the demand for pork is low. The short - term price increase is due to the adjustment of the supply side by farmers, and the increase is limited [24]. - Attention should be paid to whether the 2509 pig - futures contract can break through the upper resistance level of 14000, and continuous attention should be paid to the slaughter situation of pigs [24]. Egg - The egg prices in the main production areas increased. The supply pressure has been relieved due to the continuous elimination of old hens, but the demand is still weak due to the difficulty of egg storage in hot and humid weather [25]. - After a short - term rebound, egg prices are still under pressure. The continuous elimination of old hens will support the market to some extent. It is recommended to wait and see for the time being [25]. Soybean No. 2 - The import costs of US and Brazilian soybeans were provided. The breakthrough in US bio - fuel has boosted US soybeans, and weather factors will have a greater impact on the market during the critical growth period of US soybeans [26]. - Soybean No. 2 is expected to oscillate slightly bullishly in the short term [26]. Soybean Meal - The spot prices of soybean meal in different regions were provided. The repeated US tariff policy and global geopolitical turmoil have affected the market. Tariff policies and weather are the main driving factors for prices [27]. - The operating rate and crushing volume of domestic oil mills are at a high level, with a large supply of soybean meal. Downstream demand is strong, and the inventory accumulation of soybean meal is slow [27]. - Soybean meal is expected to oscillate within a range in the short term [27]. Soybean Oil - The spot prices of soybean oil in different regions were provided. The breakthrough in US bio - fuel has led to a rebound in the external market, driving up domestic soybean - oil prices. Attention should be paid to the weather in the US soybean - producing areas during the critical growth period [29]. - The operating rate and crushing volume of domestic oil mills have returned to a high level, with an expected increase in the supply of soybean meal. The catering industry is in an off - season, and the inventory - accumulation pressure of soybean oil has increased [29]. - Soybean oil is expected to oscillate slightly bullishly in the short term [29]. Group 7: Metals Shanghai Copper - The spot price of Shanghai 1 electrolytic copper increased, and the import - copper ore index decreased. The continued conflict between Israel and Iran in the Middle East and the complex situation of the Fed's interest - rate cuts have affected market sentiment [30]. - Domestic support policies have boosted market confidence. The raw - material supply of copper is still disturbed, and domestic copper inventory is decreasing. The game between reality and expectation, as well as between the domestic and foreign markets, has intensified [30]. - Copper prices are testing the lower neckline of the island pattern, and a defensive strategy is recommended for the time being [30]. Shanghai Aluminum - The Shanghai spot price of aluminum increased. The Fed's interest - rate meeting is approaching, and geopolitical risks in the Middle East have increased. The domestic operating capacity of electrolytic aluminum is stable, with sufficient supply [31]. - The traditional off - season effect is significant, and the demand from downstream industries is weak. However, the decline in inventory and the rebound of alumina prices have supported aluminum prices [31]. - Aggressive investors can try to go long with a light position, while conservative investors should wait and see [31]. Alumina - The national average price of alumina decreased. The supply side has increased production capacity, with a serious oversupply situation. The demand from electrolytic - aluminum enterprises is mainly rigid, and there is no arbitrage space for imports and exports [32]. - The port inventory of bauxite has increased, and the cost center of alumina has moved down. The alumina 2509 contract is showing a weak adjustment trend [32]. Cast Aluminum Alloy - The national and East - China spot prices of cast aluminum alloy increased. The tight supply of scrap aluminum has provided cost support, but the industry is facing the pressure of oversupply due to continuous capacity expansion [33]. - The new - energy vehicle industry is performing well, but it will enter the off - season in the second half of the year. The inventory of aluminum alloy is relatively high, and the current inventory - accumulation trend will continue [33]. - The cast - aluminum - alloy 2511 contract is expected to oscillate within a range [33]. Lithium Carbonate - The market prices of battery - grade and industrial - grade lithium carbonate remained unchanged. The lithium - ore market has stabilized, and inventory has decreased significantly. The supply side is still operating at a high level, but demand is weak, except for the resilience of power - battery demand [34]. - The current fundamentals have not been substantially improved, and lithium prices are expected to oscillate within a range in the short term. Conservative investors are recommended to wait and see, while aggressive investors can operate within the range [34]. Industrial Silicon - The market prices of different types of industrial silicon remained unchanged. The supply side has continued to resume production, with an increase in output. The demand side maintains on - demand procurement, and the inventory is showing a slight downward trend [35]. - The industrial - silicon 2509 contract is expected to oscillate at the bottom [35]. Polysilicon - The spot prices of different types of polysilicon remained unchanged. The supply side has increased production due to the resumption of production in Sichuan and the expectation of new production capacity. The demand side is weak, with a significant decline in the demand from the photovoltaic industry [36][37]. - The polysilicon 2507 contract is expected to oscillate weakly, and it is recommended to go short when the price is high [37]. Group 8: Black Metals Stainless Steel - The spot price of cold - rolled stainless - steel coils remained unchanged. Technically, the downward trend may turn into a low - level oscillation, and the rebound is restricted by the moving - average system. Fundamentally, the cost support has weakened, the supply pressure remains, and the demand is weak, with poor inventory reduction [38]. - Stainless - steel prices are expected to oscillate widely at a low level and have not yet stabilized. It is recommended to wait and see for the time being [38]. Rebar - The spot price of rebar increased. The futures price has changed from a resistive decline to an oscillation under a high basis. The macro sentiment has improved, raw materials in the industrial chain have stabilized, and the cost center is dynamically operating. The demand is in the off - season, inventory is low, and the valuation is relatively low [39]. - It is recommended to take a light - position, low - buying, and slightly bullish approach in the short term [39]. Hot - Rolled Coil - The spot price of hot - rolled coils increased. Technically, the downward trend is gradually turning to stabilization. Fundamentally, external talks have progressed smoothly, raw materials in the industrial chain have stabilized, the cost center is dynamically operating, apparent demand has rebounded, inventory is low, and the valuation is relatively low [40]. - It is recommended to take a light - position, low - buying, and slightly bullish approach [40].
