Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content found Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - After the sharp adjustment in the night session last week, precious metal prices are expected to enter a short - term oscillatory trend. Given that ETF holdings are still in an inflow state, prices are unlikely to decline continuously in the short term. Long - term, the center of gravity of gold prices will likely move up, and long - term investors are advised to mainly adopt a strategy of buying on dips [5][6] Group 3: Summary According to the Table of Contents 1.

Analysis of Influencing Factors - After the Fed cut interest rates in December and restarted RME, loose macro - liquidity drove precious metal prices higher. London spot gold approached a record high, and London spot silver hit a new record high. However, due to risk - control measures by exchanges, there was significant profit - taking pressure, leading to a pullback in prices. Statements from Fed and BOJ officials, stock market declines, and potential geopolitical risk mitigation also affected prices.

The recommended strategy is to stay on the sidelines [5] 3. Medium - to - Long - Term Viewpoints - In the long run, the Fed remains in an easing cycle.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints - Thursday's precious metal prices fluctuated. After significant weakening in July and August, the number of new non - farm jobs in September rebounded more than expected, but the unemployment rate rose simultaneously. The Fed's data - dependent style further reduces the probability of a December interest rate cut, but long - term interest rate cut expectations remain optimistic due to the negative impact of the government shutdown [1][3] - In the long term, the upward trend of precious metals remains. The over - issuance of debt and de - globalization, as the core drivers of the decline in the US dollar's credit, have not reversed. Gold is the preferred asset to hedge against US dollar credit risks, and silver benefits from the spill - over effect. In 2026, the global economy may shift from a soft landing to a mild recovery, which is conducive to the release of silver's long - term elasticity [3] 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Key Information - In September, the seasonally adjusted non - farm payrolls in the US increased by 119,000, far exceeding the expected 50,000. The unemployment rate was 4.4%, the highest since 2021. The average hourly wage increased by 3.8% year - on - year. These data strengthen the position of hawkish members of the FOMC [2] - Last week, the number of initial jobless claims in the US was 220,000, lower than the expected 230,000. The four - week average was 224,250. The number of continued jobless claims from November 8 was 1,974,000, slightly higher than the expected 1,960,000 [2] - The Philadelphia Fed Manufacturing Index in November was - 1.7, lower than the expected 2. The employment index was 6, and the price acquisition index was 17.7 [2] 3.2 Price Logic - The long - term upward trend of precious metals remains. Gold is a hedge against US dollar credit risks, and silver benefits from spill - over effects. In 2026, the global economic shift is favorable for silver's elasticity [3] - The expected price range for spot London gold is [3800, 4200] US dollars per ounce, and for spot London silver is [46, 53] US dollars per ounce [3] 3.3 Commodity Index - On November 20, 2025, the comprehensive commodity index was 2234.73, down 0.64%; the commodity 20 index was 2535.29, down 0.70%; the industrial products index was 2200.99, down 0.68% [42] - The precious metals index on November 20, 2025 was 3328.49, with a daily decline of 0.57%, a 5 - day decline of 2.27%, a 1 - month increase of 0.79%, and a year - to - date increase of 50.45% [44]

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating There is no information provided regarding the report industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the short - term, precious metals rebounded on Wednesday, with silver showing greater elasticity. Due to the upcoming release of important earnings reports of US stocks and key data such as the Fed's October meeting minutes and non - farm payroll data, and the continuous cooling of the labor market, the market may have some anticipatory trading. Attention should be paid to the release of this week's data [1][3]. - In the long - term, the bullish trend of precious metals remains. The core drivers of the decline in the US dollar's credit, such as excessive debt issuance and de - globalization, have not reversed. Gold is the preferred asset to hedge against US dollar credit risks, and silver benefits from the spill - over effect. In 2026, the global economy may shift from a soft landing to a mild recovery, which is conducive to the release of silver's long - term elasticity [3]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs a. Key Information - The Fed will release its October meeting minutes on Thursday at 3:00 am. There is increasing uncertainty among investors about the direction of US interest rates. Fed officials have significant differences on whether it is appropriate to further ease policy before the end of the year.

Price Logic - In the short - term, precious metals rebounded on Wednesday, with silver showing greater elasticity. Market caution may prevail before the release of important US stock earnings reports. Based on the cooling labor market, anticipatory trading may occur, and attention should be paid to data releases this week [1][3]. - In the long - term, the bullish trend of precious metals remains. Gold is a hedge against US dollar credit risks, and silver benefits from the spill - over effect. The global economic shift in 2026 is favorable for silver's elasticity. The expected range for London gold this week is [3800, 4200] dollars per ounce, and for London silver is [46, 53] dollars per ounce [3]. c. Commodity Index - **Special Index**: The commodity index was 2249.04, up 0.63%; the commodity 20 index was 2553.16, up 0.73%; the industrial products index was 2216.05, up 0.32%; the PPI commodity index was 1337.81, up 0.22% [42]. - **Sector Index**: The precious metals index on November 19, 2025, had a daily increase of 2.58%, a 5 - day decline of 2.84%, a 1 - month increase of 0.78%, and a year - to - date increase of 51.31% [43].
