Core Viewpoint - The international spot gold price has surged, reaching $4,179 per ounce, driven by factors such as U.S. government intervention leading to dollar depreciation and rising geopolitical uncertainties, which have increased investor demand for gold [1][3][4][6]. Group 1: Gold Price Trends - Since October 8, international spot gold has broken through the $4,000 and $4,100 per ounce thresholds [3]. - Domestic gold jewelry prices have also increased, with the price per gram reaching 1,213 yuan, up 400 yuan year-to-date [1]. Group 2: Factors Driving Gold Prices - The depreciation of the U.S. dollar, influenced by government interventions, has led to a decline in dollar credibility, prompting central banks and investors to turn to gold [4]. - The new round of trade tensions between China and the U.S. has created economic uncertainty, heightening risk aversion among investors [6]. Group 3: Market Sentiment and Future Outlook - Current market sentiment is predominantly bullish towards gold, with many investors buying in anticipation of further price increases [3][6]. - However, the stability of gold prices is questioned, as they rely on broad market consensus, and potential factors that could lead to price declines include central bank gold sales or excessively high prices deterring investors [7]. Group 4: Investor Strategies - Ordinary investors are advised to monitor signals indicating potential price declines, such as the 5-day moving average, to manage risks effectively [8].

Core Viewpoint - Silver prices have surged to a historical high of $53 per ounce, reflecting a significant increase of approximately 80% since early 2025, outpacing gold's 57% rise during the same period. The London market is experiencing unprecedented tightness in supply, leading to delays in delivery and increased transportation costs for silver [1][3][11]. Historical Context - The current surge in silver prices is reminiscent of past market events, notably in 1980 and 2011, where speculative trading led to significant price spikes followed by sharp declines. In 1980, silver prices soared to $50.35 due to market manipulation by the Hunt brothers, while in 2011, prices approached $50 amid quantitative easing and inflation concerns [3][5][6][7]. - The 1980 price spike was driven by a concentrated effort to monopolize the silver market, resulting in a dramatic increase in prices followed by a market crash known as "Silver Thursday" [5][6]. - In 2011, the price increase was fueled by macroeconomic factors, including low interest rates and geopolitical tensions, leading to a speculative bubble that eventually burst [6][7][8]. Current Market Dynamics - The recent price increase is attributed to a combination of rising debt and fiscal risks, ongoing regional conflicts, and uncertainty in monetary policy, which have heightened demand for silver as a safe-haven asset [11]. - Significant inflows into silver through exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have led to a shortage of physical silver in the market, creating a self-reinforcing cycle where tight supply drives prices higher, attracting more investment into ETFs [11][12]. - Industrial demand for silver, particularly in solar panels, electric vehicles, and consumer electronics, is also a contributing factor, with industrial usage accounting for 59% of silver consumption [12]. Price Comparisons and Future Projections - Adjusted for inflation, the historical peaks of silver prices in 1980 and 2011 would correspond to approximately $200 and $70 per ounce today, respectively. This indicates that even if silver surpasses $50, it would still be significantly lower than historical extremes when adjusted for purchasing power [15]. - Forecasts suggest that silver prices could reach $65 per ounce by 2026, with some analysts predicting a 20% increase over the next year [15]. - However, there are concerns about the current market being overbought, with technical indicators suggesting a potential for price corrections in the near term [15].

Core Points - The Tokyo stock market experienced significant declines on October 14, with the Nikkei 225 index falling by 2.58% and the Tokyo Stock Exchange index dropping by 1.99% [1] - Investor risk aversion increased due to uncertainties surrounding Japan's political situation and global trade dynamics, leading to a gap down at the market open and wide fluctuations during the morning session [1] - The defense-related stocks, which had surged following the election of high-profile political figure, saw notable declines by the end of the trading day [1] Market Performance - The Nikkei index closed down 1241.48 points at 46847.32 points, while the Tokyo Stock Exchange index fell 63.60 points to close at 3133.99 points [1] - Most of the 33 industry sectors on the Tokyo Stock Exchange experienced declines, with significant drops in electrical products, non-ferrous metals, and securities and commodity futures trading sectors [1] - Only four sectors, including marine transportation, retail, steel, and food, recorded gains during the trading session [1]

Core Viewpoint - The silver market has outperformed gold significantly in 2023, with silver prices reaching a historic high of over $53 per ounce, marking an 84% increase since early 2025, compared to gold's 56% increase in the same period [1] Group 1: Market Dynamics - Silver's market size is significantly smaller than gold's, estimated to be about one-tenth of the gold market, leading to higher volatility in silver prices [2] - Recent liquidity tightening in London, the global center for physical silver trading, has contributed to a sharp increase in silver prices, with a rise of over 35% since late August [2] Group 2: Investment Risks - Goldman Sachs analysts caution that silver lacks central bank support, making it more susceptible to price fluctuations and greater downside risks compared to gold [2][3] - The absence of central bank intervention means that even a temporary outflow of investment funds could trigger disproportionate price declines in silver [2][3] Group 3: Performance Characteristics - Silver typically acts as a "leveraged version" of gold, performing better during periods of macroeconomic risk aversion but also facing more severe declines when market sentiment shifts [3] - Silver's dependence on industrial demand, such as for photovoltaic applications, makes it more vulnerable to economic cycles, contrasting with gold's more stable safe-haven attributes [3]

Report Investment Ratings - No specific industry investment ratings are provided in the report. Core Views - The uncertainty remains, and the risk aversion sentiment has increased. The A-share market may fluctuate in the short term, but there are still structural opportunities.

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - On October 13, the main contract of Shanghai gold futures closed up 1.99% to 927.56 yuan/gram, and the main contract of Shanghai silver futures closed up 2.84% to 11,531 yuan/kilogram [4] - The escalation of Sino-US trade frictions and the rise of risk aversion sentiment boosted the prices of precious metals to strengthen again. In the short term, the uncertainty of Sino-US trade, the ongoing US government shutdown, and the high probability of the Fed cutting interest rates in October will keep the gold price strong. Silver will also maintain a strong trend in the short term, but there is a risk of adjustment when the high premium of London silver eases [4] - In the long - term, the Fed still has room to cut interest rates this year, global geopolitical uncertainties persist, the US debt is unsustainable, and great - power competition intensifies, which will increase the credit risk of the US dollar. The central bank's gold purchases continue, so the long - term center of gold prices is likely to continue to move up [4] Group 3: Summary by Relevant Catalogs Metal Price Tracking - From October 10 to October 13, London gold spot rose 2.6%, London silver spot rose 3.4%, COMEX gold rose 2.7%, COMEX silver rose 4.3%, AU2512 rose 2.9%, AG2512 rose 4.1%, AU (T + D) rose 2.9%, and AG (T + D) rose 3.7% [3] Spread/Ratio Tracking - From October 10 to October 13, the spread of gold TD - SHFE active price decreased by 8.7%, the spread of silver TD - SHFE active price increased by 62.9%, the spread of gold (TD - London) decreased by 44.5%, the spread of silver (TD - London) increased by 1.0%, the SHFE gold - silver main ratio decreased by 1.1%, the COMEX gold - silver main ratio decreased by 1.5%, the spread of AU2602 - 2512 decreased by 5.4%, and the spread of AG2602 - 2512 decreased by 25.0% [3] Position Data - From October 9 to October 10, the gold ETF - SPDR increased by 0.37%, the silver ETF - SLV decreased by 0.05%, the non - commercial long position of COMEX gold increased by 1.85%, the non - commercial short position of COMEX gold increased by 9.43%, the non - commercial net long position of COMEX gold increased by 0.13%, the non - commercial long position of COMEX silver increased by 0.97%, the non - commercial short position of COMEX silver decreased by 0.21%, and the non - commercial net long position of COMEX silver increased by 1.43% [3] Inventory Data - From October 10 to October 13, SHFE gold inventory remained unchanged, SHFE silver inventory decreased by 3.82%.

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No specific industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - Gold reached a new all - time high of $4070 per ounce, and silver broke through the $50 mark and remained strong. The escalation of Sino - US trade friction and the strengthened expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut this year created a resonance, and the continuation of the US government shutdown and data vacuum intensified the demand for hedging and allocation. Although the short - term sentiment is bullish, the risk of high - level fluctuations has increased [1]. - If risk events continue to ferment, the prices of gold and silver are expected to maintain a volatile and slightly stronger pattern. London gold is expected to trade in the range of [3900 - 4200] dollars per ounce, and London silver in the range of [48 - 55] dollars per ounce [3]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Key Information - Trump threatened to impose a 100% tariff on Chinese imports from November 1st and restrict the export of key software. China warned of counter - measures. The market is still worried about the uncertainty of the negotiations around the APEC meeting [2]. - The US government shutdown has entered its third week, and the congressional budget negotiation has reached a deadlock. The Senate plans to resume voting on Tuesday, and the unpaid leave of some federal employees has caused fiscal implementation risks [2]. - The expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut has been strengthened. The CME FedWatch shows that the probabilities of a 25 - basis - point interest rate cut in October and December are 96% and 87% respectively. New York Fed President Williams reiterated support for further interest rate cuts this year to address labor market weakness [2]. - Trump said that if Russia does not "compromise" soon, he will consider providing "tactical cruise missiles" to Ukraine. Russia warned that this would lead to an "uncontrollable escalation" of the situation, and geopolitical risk aversion sentiment has increased [2]. 3.2 Price Logic - **Gold**: The resonance of trade friction and loose expectations has pushed up the gold price. The expectation of the Fed's interest rate cut, the decline of the US dollar, and the US fiscal deadlock jointly support the price. The government shutdown has weakened the availability of economic data, and the market continues to chase the rise in the sentiment of "no data is bullish". If there is a correction due to short - term technical overbought, $4000 is the primary support level, and the increase in price volatility may lead to phased profit - taking [3]. - **Silver**: Supported by the structural tightness of the London spot market, the lease rate remains high, and the physical premium is obvious. The abundant overall liquidity of precious metals and the short - squeeze effect make the increase of silver relatively ahead of gold. If the volatility significantly increases, one should be vigilant about the correction risk after the short - term increase in volatility. In the long - term, it is still supported by global de - dollarization and the recovery of industrial demand [3]. 3.3 Market Performance of Indexes - On October 10, 2025, the comprehensive index of CITIC Futures commodities: the commodity index was 2232.76, down 0.75%; the commodity 20 index was 2520.82, down 0.80%; the industrial products index was 2225.76, down 0.58% [43]. - The precious metals index on October 10, 2025: the daily decline was 1.21%, the increase in the past 5 days was 4.99%, the increase in the past month was 11.25%, and the increase since the beginning of the year was 43.23% [45].
