Core Viewpoint - Recent rise in gold prices is primarily driven by increased expectations of interest rate cuts in December, with a long-term view of reshaping monetary credit patterns and an anticipated increase in the U.S. fiscal deficit following the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act [1] Group 1: Gold Market Dynamics - China's current gold reserves are relatively low, and the central bank's ongoing gold purchases are expected to be a long-term trend, leading to a sustained upward movement in gold prices [1] - The decline in real interest rates post-rate cuts is likely to attract inflows into gold ETFs, while the current high gold-silver ratio suggests a potential convergence as marginal demand expectations improve [1] - The valuation of the precious metals sector is at the lower end of its historical range, indicating potential for continued recovery and growth [1] Group 2: Central Bank Actions and Investor Sentiment - The People's Bank of China has increased its gold holdings for 12 consecutive months, which is expected to boost bullish sentiment in the gold market and alleviate previous concerns regarding high gold prices leading to a halt in central bank purchases [1] - The current pricing factors for gold indicate a preference for safety over yield, suggesting a shift in investor focus [1] Group 3: Investment Recommendations - Investors are encouraged to consider participating in gold during subsequent pullbacks and to gradually build positions [1] - Direct investment in physical gold and tax-exempt gold ETF (518800) as well as gold stock ETFs covering the entire gold industry chain (517400) are highlighted as potential investment avenues [1]

12月8日(周一)在日本央行加息预期陡增与美联储降息窗口开启的双重背景下，美元兑日元汇率近期陷 入剧烈博弈，市场对政策拐点的敏感程度持续攀，美元兑日元报154.97，较前一交易日下跌0.28，跌幅 0.2382%，当日最高触及155.38，最低下探154.92，展现出政策预期驱动下的窄幅震荡特征。此前该汇 率曾一度跌至157关口附近，创下近10个月新低，距离市场普遍认为的日本当局干预线160仅一步之遥。 日本央行的政策转向预期成为搅动汇率走势的核心变量。日本央行行长植田和男12月1日明确释放加息 信号，称将在12月19日的货币政策会议上考虑提高政策利率的利弊，若经济展望符合预期便会采取行 动。这一"鹰派"表态彻底改变市场预期，两周前市场对日本央行12月加息的概率预期仅为30%，如今已 飙升至76%，明年1月加息概率更是高达近90%。背后逻辑在于日本经济的矛盾处境：一方面，10月日 本核心CPI同比上升3.0%，连续50个月同比上升，物价涨幅持续扩大，通胀压力倒逼政策收紧；另一方 面，日本第三季度GDP出现负增长，虽被植田和男判断为"暂时现象"，但经济复苏乏力仍限制着加息节 奏。受加息预期推动，日本10年期国债 ...

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week, the main contract price of Shanghai lead futures rebounded steadily. The market's dovish bets on the interest - rate cut path increased, the US dollar was weak, and non - ferrous metals such as copper and tin strengthened, driving up the lead price. The supply - demand tension of lead ore is difficult to reverse in the short term, and the cost side supports the lead price. Although the production of some refineries recovered in November, there were more refinery overhauls in December, and the production of primary and recycled lead is expected to decline month - on - month. The terminal consumption is divided, with the consumption of electric bicycle batteries weakening, but the consumption of automobile starting batteries improving, and large - and medium - sized battery enterprises starting year - end stockpiling. Overall, the macro - environment is warm, the fundamentals are marginally improved, and social inventories have dropped to a new low for the year, supporting the lead price. It is expected that the lead price will remain oscillating strongly in the short term, but the rebound space is restricted by the import expectation of lead ingots, and attention should be paid to the resistance around 17,500 yuan/ton [3][6][7]. 3. Summary According to the Directory 3.1 Transaction Data | Contract | 11/28 | 12/5 | Change | Unit | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | SHFE Lead | 17,090 | 17,290 | 200 | yuan/ton | | LME Lead | 1,981 | 2,009 | 28 | US dollars/ton | | Shanghai - London Ratio | 8.63 | 8.61 | - 0.02 | | | SHFE Inventory | 37,799 | 34,735 | - 3,064 | tons | | LME Inventory | 263,175 | 243,550 | - 19,625 | tons | | Social Inventory | 3.07 | 2.36 | - 0.71 | 10,000 tons | | Spot Premium | - 65 | - 65 | 0 | yuan/ton | [4] 3.2 Market Review - Last week, the price of the main Shanghai lead PB2601 contract rebounded steadily, breaking through the moving - average pressure and finally closing at 17,290 yuan/ton, with a weekly increase of 1.17%. The LME lead price also rebounded slightly, closing at 2,009 US dollars/ton, with a weekly increase of 1.41%. In the spot market, the supply of lead in the Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai markets was limited, and most of the lead ingots were from refineries. The supply of lead in the East China region was tight, and the mainstream origin quoted a premium of 0 - 50 yuan/ton over the SMM1 lead average price. The recycled lead refineries were more willing to sell, and the downstream enterprises mainly purchased through long - term contracts [5]. - As of December 5, the LME weekly inventory was 243,550 tons, a weekly decrease of 19,625 tons. The SHFE inventory was 34,735 tons, a decrease of 3,064 tons from the previous week. As of December 4, the SMM five - region social inventory was 23,600 tons, a decrease of 7,100 tons from Monday and 11,400 tons from Thursday of the previous week. As the delivery of the current - month contract approaches, some goods holders may transfer their inventory for delivery, and the social inventory is expected to stabilize [6]. 3.3 Industry News - As of the week of December 5, the domestic lead concentrate processing fee was 300 yuan/metal ton, and the imported ore processing fee was - 135 US dollars/dry ton, with the average values remaining flat month - on - month [8]. - In November, the electrolytic lead production was 327,600 tons, a month - on - month increase of 0.5% and a year - on - year decrease of 0.7%.

The recycled refined lead production in November was 296,100 tons, a month - on - month increase of 8.5% and a year - on - year increase of 10.2%.
