Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided Core Viewpoints - The sanctions imposed by the US on Russian oil companies have increased trade barriers, forming a bullish driver for oil prices. However, whether it will lead to a substantial reduction in Russian oil exports is uncertain, and the geopolitical factor only delays the downward trend of oil prices. The short - term price support is expected to be relatively stable, and the SC - Brent spread is expected to widen [4][6] Summary by Relevant Catalogs Latest Dynamics - On October 22, 2025, Brent and WTI crude oil closed up 4.36% and 3.13% respectively, and on October 23, SC crude oil opened up 3.5% in the morning [3] Reasons for the Rise - On October 22, the US Treasury added Rosneft and Lukoil to the sanctions list. In 2024, these two companies' crude oil production accounted for 46% of Russia's total production, which led to increased trade barriers and a bullish driver for oil prices. Trump also canceled the meeting with Putin and said it was time to sanction Russia [4] Fundamental Situation - Geopolitical factors dominate the short - term market. After the sanctions on Gazprom Neft in January 2025 and Rosneft and Lukoil on October 22, the top four Russian oil companies are all on the US sanctions list, accounting for 77% of Russia's 2024 crude oil production. The US Treasury's exemption for normal transactions ends on November 21. Although Russian oil exports have been relatively stable after multiple sanctions, the potential impact of this new round of sanctions is difficult to quantify [5] Market Outlook - Currently, the expectation of a reduction in Russian oil supply is difficult to disprove, and short - term price support is expected to be stable. Even if there is a reduction of hundreds of thousands of barrels in Russian oil exports, it is difficult to reverse the global crude oil supply surplus. The SC - Brent spread is expected to widen due to the enhanced substitution effect of Middle Eastern crude oil [6]

Core Viewpoint - The gold price may experience significant changes next week, raising concerns about a potential repeat of the 2015 market crash, which saw a 45% decline in gold prices. Investors are advised to monitor key indicators and adjust their strategies accordingly [1][2]. Group 1: Key Indicators - The Federal Reserve's policy remains unchanged, maintaining the federal funds rate between 4.25% and 4.5%, indicating a restrictive stance due to inflation not reaching the 2% target. This mirrors the hawkish signals before the 2015 rate hike cycle [2]. - Gold price volatility has surged, with daily fluctuations exceeding 1.5% multiple times in October. The price dropped to $1,258 on October 21 and rebounded to $1,292 on October 22, marking the highest short-term volatility in three months [2]. - The pace of central bank gold purchases has slowed, with the People's Bank of China only increasing its gold reserves by 1.24 tons in September, the lowest increase this year. This suggests a weakening market support for gold prices [2]. Group 2: Historical Context - In 2015, the gold price plummeted by 45%, primarily due to two factors: the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike, which triggered massive sell-offs of gold as a non-yielding asset, and a strong dollar that negatively impacted gold prices [3]. - The strong dollar was a significant factor, with the U.S. GDP growth reaching its fastest pace in 11 years at 5%, leading to a negative correlation of -0.83 between gold and the dollar [3]. Group 3: Current Market Dynamics - Unlike 2015, current central bank gold purchases are providing support, with countries like China and India continuing to increase their gold reserves. China's total gold reserves stand at 2,303.52 tons, indicating a shift towards "de-dollarization" [3][4]. - Geopolitical tensions, such as conflicts in the Middle East and uncertainties in global tariff policies, are sustaining demand for gold as a safe-haven asset, which was not present in 2015 [4]. Group 4: Investment Strategies - Ordinary investors are advised not to chase high prices and to wait for a dip below $1,250 before purchasing physical gold, while setting a 10% stop-loss on existing holdings to avoid deeper losses [6]. - Speculators should closely monitor key signals from the Federal Reserve's upcoming meetings and the dollar index, with specific support and resistance levels for gold set at $1,240 and $1,300, respectively [6]. - Long-term investors are encouraged to adopt a dollar-cost averaging strategy by regularly purchasing small amounts of gold ETFs, with a recommended allocation of 10%-15% of their portfolio [6].

Summaries According to Related Catalogs Gold and Silver - **Market Review**: Technical selling continues to suppress the gold price, and the center of gravity of gold continues to decline [3] - **Basic Logic**: The US government shutdown, the US debt scale exceeding 38 trillion US dollars, the twists and turns of the Trump-Putin meeting.
