1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information about the industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week, precious metal prices fluctuated at high levels. Gold and silver prices reached new highs during the week. After CME changed the margin of precious metal futures contracts from fixed to proportion - floating on the 14th, COMEX silver prices continued to rise strongly, hitting a record high of $93.7 per ounce. Gold and platinum prices fluctuated, and palladium prices declined slightly due to the temporary elimination of tariff risks [2][5]. - On January 15, the Trump administration decided not to impose comprehensive tariffs on key minerals including silver and platinum for the time being. Trump's criminal investigation against Fed Chairman Powell led to political backlash, and Kevin Warsh became the top candidate for the next Fed Chairman. Geopolitical tensions persisted, such as the US threatening to impose tariffs to seize Greenland and the tense situation in Iran [2][6]. - Recent US employment and inflation data were better than expected, pushing the US dollar index to rebound. The market expects the Fed to keep interest rates unchanged at the January 27 - 28 meeting and cut rates at least twice by 25 basis points this year. With the tariff policy becoming clearer, metals not subject to high - tariff may flow out of the US market, but the market still anticipates long - term supply shortages, geopolitical instability, and strategic hoarding, so the popularity of precious metals is expected to remain high, with high price volatility risks [2][8]. 3.

The market expects the Fed to keep interest rates unchanged in January and cut rates at least twice this year [2][6][8]. - Future outlook: With the tariff policy becoming clearer, metals not subject to high - tariff may flow out of the US market, but the market still anticipates long - term supply shortages, geopolitical instability, and strategic hoarding. The popularity of precious metals is expected to remain high, but high price volatility risks need to be noted. This week, attention should be paid to the initial value of the US Q4 GDP and the November PCE data [2][8]. 3.3 Important Data Information - US core inflation slowed down.
