Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating No industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core View The report posits that silver prices have room for further increase. The Fed is likely to enter a new round of easing cycle in the second half of the year, driven by the heavy interest burden on US Treasury bonds due to the high policy - rate environment and the expected expansion of US fiscal deficits. This will drive up the price of silver [1]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Trump Administration's Tax - Cut Policy and US Treasury Bond Issuance Pressure - The "Beautiful Big Bill" promoted by the Trump administration, which includes extending the main provisions of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the state and local tax (SALT) deduction cap expiring in 2025, is expected to reduce US fiscal revenue by $3.54 trillion and increase the overall deficit by $2.77 trillion over the next ten fiscal years. The expansion of the US fiscal deficit is positively correlated with the gold price in the medium - term, and it has already driven the international gold price to a record high in the first half of the year [4]. - Affected by the US debt ceiling issue, the net issuance of US Treasury bonds was low in the first half of the year. As of May 2025, the cumulative net issuance of US Treasury bonds was $281.3 billion, a year - on - year decrease of 56.1%. The balance of the US Treasury's cash account decreased from $811.5 billion on January 29 to $334.6 billion in the week of June 25. After the debt ceiling issue is resolved, there is a financing gap of over $500 billion in the Treasury's cash account, indicating significant issuance pressure on US Treasury bonds in the second half of the year [5]. 3.2 Certainty of Fed Policy Rate Cut and Its Driving Factors - The Fed maintains a cautious attitude towards rate cuts due to potential inflation risks from tariff policies. However, the increase in the US import price index excluding food and energy is much lower than that during 2020 - 2022. US inflation data in May 2025 showed a decline compared to expectations and previous values. In the past, the Fed cut rates during the US election, indicating that its monetary policy is not completely free from political influence [9]. - In the recent interest - rate meeting, the Fed decided to keep the interest rate in the range of 4.25% - 4.50%. The dot - plot's median interest - rate expectations for 2025 remained at 3.9%, but were raised for 2026 and 2027. Seven voting members expect no rate cut this year, up from four in March. Powell believes the current interest - rate level is appropriate and that tariff - driven inflation may continue [10][11]. - President Trump is dissatisfied with the Fed's interest - rate policy, stating that a rate cut could save the US fiscal expenditure up to $1 trillion. As of May 2025, the cumulative interest expenditure on US Treasury bonds has reached $776 billion, and high interest rates will further increase the deficit during the subsequent concentrated issuance of Treasury bonds [12]. - There is a clear divergence within the Fed regarding the rate - cut rhythm. Fed Governor Waller and Vice - Chair Bowman are in favor of rate cuts. Considering the maintenance of the US dollar's credit and the large interest expenditure squeezing the overall fiscal expenditure, the Fed is certain to cut the policy rate in the second half of the year. It is recommended to maintain a long - position strategy for silver prices [13].

多数人认为，当前黄金价格飙升是地缘政治紧张局势所致，但美国银行（Bank of America）的分析师却持不同看法。他们预测，在未来一年内，黄金价格 有望触及每盎司4000美元的历史高位，而推动这波涨势的关键因素并非战争或贸易冲突，而是美国日益膨胀的财政赤字和对美元地位的深层担忧。 报告中写道："虽然以色列和伊朗之间的战争随时可能升级，但冲突通常不会是黄金价格持续上涨的动力。因此，美国预算谈判的走向将至关重要，如果 财政赤字未能下降，其后果加上市场波动，最终可能会吸引更多买家。" 美银分析师还提到了一个日益明显的全球趋势：各国央行正在逐渐减少其储备中对美元资产（美国国债和美元）的持有，转而增持黄金。他们估计，各国 央行的黄金储备约占美国未偿公共债务的18%，而十年前这一比例仅为13%。 他们警告称："这一数字应该给美国政策制定者敲响警钟。对贸易和美国财政赤字的持续担忧，很可能会促使更多央行将购买目标从美国国债转向黄金。" 欧洲中央银行的一项研究也印证了这一趋势：黄金在官方储备资产中的地位不断提升，已超越欧元，仅次于美元。据估计，截至2024年底，黄金占全球总 储备持有量的20%。尽管美元仍以46%的份额保持 ...
