Group 1 - The core viewpoint is that gold prices have surged, breaking the $3400 per ounce mark for the first time since June 17, driven by uncertainties surrounding Trump's trade policies and increasing demand for safe-haven assets [2][3] - Trump's announcement of high tariffs on multiple major economies, effective August 1, has contributed to market uncertainty, which is favorable for gold prices [3] - Speculation about an earlier-than-expected interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve and potential changes in its leadership have heightened market anxiety, further supporting gold [3][4] Group 2 - Federal Reserve Governor Waller's support for a July rate cut is based on rising economic risks and limited inflation impact from tariffs, which has kept the dollar below recent highs, thus supporting precious metals [4] - Market expectations suggest the Fed will remain inactive until September, with rate futures indicating a potential cumulative cut of 50 basis points by year-end [4] - Recent U.S. economic data, including a decline in the Conference Board's leading economic index and an unexpected rise in consumer confidence, may buffer the dollar's decline and influence gold prices [4] Group 3 - Technical analysis indicates that gold prices may face strong resistance in the $3365-$3366 range, and a breakthrough could signal bullish momentum towards the $3400 mark and further test the $3434-$3435 resistance area [4] - On the downside, initial support is seen in the $3325-$3322 range, with a potential deeper correction if prices fall below $3300, targeting the June swing low of $3248-$3247 [5]

Group 1 - The European Central Bank (ECB) is likely to delay its final interest rate cut until December, with no immediate concerns about the market prematurely concluding the end of the easing cycle [1] - Most economists surveyed expect the deposit rate to be reduced by 25 basis points to 1.75% in September, but half believe that traders will not immediately conclude that rates have bottomed out even if the ECB maintains rates in the following meetings [3] - The uncertainty in trade policies is contributing to a longer "policy observation period," allowing the ECB more time to assess economic and inflation dynamics before making decisions [3] Group 2 - ECB President Christine Lagarde has indicated a preference for maintaining current policy stability in July to further observe economic and inflation trends [3] - There is a lack of consensus among ECB decision-makers regarding future policy directions, with some officials expressing caution about further rate cuts [3][4] - Concerns about inflation remaining below the 2% target, particularly with a strengthening euro, are prompting some officials to consider more accommodative policies to boost inflation [4] Group 3 - The internal divisions within the ECB reflect the complexities of formulating future policies, balancing economic growth resilience against the need to ensure inflation progresses towards targets [4] - Market participants are closely monitoring ECB actions, as predictions and statements from economists and officials will influence expectations for future interest rate movements and asset price fluctuations [4]

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the content. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the short - term, the US dollar may remain strong supported by high inflation and employment resilience, but in the medium - term, it is restricted by fiscal pressure and differences in the pace of interest rate cuts. The RMB fundamentals are still mild, but with narrowing interest rate spreads, stable settlement, and eased external expectations, the short - term exchange rate has a foundation for phased stability [57]. Summary by Related Catalogs 1. Quantity - Price and Policy Signals Quantity - Price Observation - The implied volatility curve of the 3 - month USD/CNY option shows an appreciation trend of the RMB, with the put - end volatility higher than the call - end.

Policy Observation - The policy counter - cyclical factor has not been activated and shows a fluctuating trend. The three - month CNH HIBOR - SHIBOR spread fluctuates [10]. - Based on CFTC data (as of July 8), the report presents the total positions and speculative net long positions of various currency pairs such as GBP/USD, CAD/USD, EUR/USD, and JPY/USD [14][17]. 2. Fundamentals and Views Macro - Economic Situation - There are differences in the pricing of interest rate cuts between the US and Europe. The TGA account had a balance of $311 billion on July 9, and the Fed's reverse repurchase balance was $227.2 billion. Changing the Fed chairman is unlikely to significantly change the US monetary policy direction in the short term [23]. - The US economic downward risk is rising. Employment data is mixed, inflation is waiting for June CPI data, and the economy is showing marginal decline with falling fiscal expenditure, differentiated June economic sentiment, and pressured May retail sales [25]. Tariff Events - In the trade negotiations with the US among 17 key countries and regions, different situations are presented. For example, the UK - US agreement is in effect, the China - US is accelerating the implementation of the London framework results, the India - US is close to reaching a temporary trade agreement, etc. Trump extended the grace period for the equal - tariff to August 1, and the equal - tariff 2.0 phase has officially started, increasing global trade uncertainty [26]. The "Great Beautiful Act" in the US - The "Great Beautiful Act" became effective on July 4. It includes measures such as corporate and individual tax cuts, reduction of clean - energy subsidies, medical assistance, and the supplementary nutrition assistance program, and an increase in the debt ceiling. However, it may lead to problems such as fiscal front - loading, deterioration of income and welfare distribution, and increased inflation [30][32]. China's Economic Situation - China's economic structure is differentiated. In June, the pressure increased, with the growth rates of investment sub - items declining and retail sales also under pressure. June's export data exceeded expectations, with financial data improving, and the RMB showing resilience in the face of trade policy uncertainties [33][42]. Comprehensive Rectification of "Involution - style" Competition - The government is promoting the in - depth construction of a unified national market, including requirements such as "five unifications and one opening". Industries such as steel, refining, and photovoltaic are the focus of rectification, with measures including curbing low - price disorderly competition and promoting the exit of backward production capacity [44]. Trade Policy Uncertainty - In 2025, Sino - US tariff frictions have recurred. Although a suspension agreement was reached in May, there may be further fluctuations. The export structure has changed, with emerging markets supporting overall exports. The RMB has shown resilience and is less affected by tariff policies, and the marginal impact of trade uncertainty on the exchange rate will continue to weaken [53]. Overall Views - Currently, the economic expectation difference between China and the US is neutral, the interest rate spread is neutral, and trade policy uncertainty is also neutral. In the short - term, the US dollar may remain strong, while the RMB has a foundation for phased stability [57]. Risk Assessment - From the historical data from April 2022 to the present (nearly 3 years), the range of the premium and discount of the futures main contract is between - 1100 and 900 [58].
