10月23日，俄罗斯外交部发言人扎哈罗娃的一番话，引发了广泛关注，直接将欧盟的对俄制裁推上了热 搜。 当《消息报》问到她关于欧盟"禁运俄液化天然气（LNG）"的计划时，扎哈罗娃只回应了一句："这完 全是胡说八道。"她还引用了一句俄罗斯谚语："为了惹我奶奶生气，我宁愿把自己的耳朵冻掉。"她的 这番话犀利地揭示了欧盟的伪善——为了打击俄罗斯能源，居然不顾自身经济的崩溃。 然而，扎哈罗娃并不认同这一提法，因为她清楚地知道数据无法欺骗。2023年上半年，俄罗斯对欧盟的 LNG供应量居然同比增长。奥地利前外长在10月16日公开指出，别再提什么"能源转型"，欧盟其实仍然 依赖俄罗斯能源。她披露的消息更具体：法国、荷兰、比利时这些欧盟核心国家，仍在大量进口俄罗斯 LNG。大家一方面喊着2027年要断供，另一方面却让核心成员国继续大量购买，这种自相矛盾的行为 显得非常荒谬。 扎哈罗娃称欧盟的做法"脱离现实且自相矛盾"，这绝非无的放矢。更令人吃惊的是，欧盟提出的"监控 过境货物"的方案，扎哈罗娃认为这根本行不通。她用《卖火柴的小女孩》里的情景作比喻，指出现在 的欧洲就像那个被冻得发抖的小女孩，却无法得到帮助。 内部矛盾重重：有 ...

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Ratings - No specific industry investment ratings provided in the report Group 2: Core Views of the Report - Long - term strategic value of gold remains unchanged due to global currency easing, declining dollar credit, and geopolitical pattern reconstruction; short - term geopolitical issues cause small price increases [3] - Long - term positive outlook for copper due to strategic value, but short - term high - level risks are significant [6][7] - Zinc is under pressure in the short - term with sufficient macro - level positive factors realized, and in the long - term, supply increases while demand decreases [10][11] - Aluminum prices are expected to remain relatively strong in the short - term, supported by terminal consumption in the peak season [2] - Nickel prices are under pressure due to sufficient domestic supply and inventory accumulation, with only some support from the peak consumption season of nickel sulfate [2] - The fundamentals of industrial silicon show no obvious contradictions, and it can be treated with a long - position approach in the short - term due to optimistic market sentiment [2] - For polysilicon, positive policies boost market sentiment, and long - positions can be held [2] - The fundamentals of lithium carbonate have improved in the short - term, with obvious inventory reduction and strong terminal demand, so long - positions can be held [2] Group 3: Summary by Variety Gold - **Market Situation**: After the G2 meeting, short - term geopolitical issues lead to a small increase in gold prices. Trump's support rate has declined, geopolitical issues are recurring, and the Senate has passed a resolution to terminate Trump's tariff policy [3] - **Investment Strategy**: Long - term strategic value is high, and long - positions can be held. In the short - term, entry can be considered when prices stop falling, with a support level of 910 for domestic gold [3][4] Silver - **Market Situation**: The short - term squeeze event has ended, and silver follows the trend of gold. In the long - term, global policy stimulates demand, and there is a continuous supply - demand gap [2] - **Investment Strategy**: Long - positions can be held for the long - term, with a strong support level at 11200 [2] Copper - **Market Situation**: High - level retracement after the G2 meeting. Trump has revoked emission restrictions on copper smelters, and domestic electrolytic copper production in the fourth quarter is expected to decline. High prices suppress demand [6] - **Investment Strategy**: Short - term: stop profit on long - positions and wait for prices to stabilize. Long - term: strategic long - positions can be held. Short - term, pay attention to the range of 84500 - 88500 yuan/ton for Shanghai copper and 10500 - 11200 dollars/ton for London copper [7] Zinc - **Market Situation**: Pressure on prices due to sufficient supply of zinc concentrates and weak demand in the peak season.

Report Industry Investment Rating - The report gives a "shockingly strong" rating to precious metals, expecting the price of London gold to range between $3,900 - $4,200 per ounce and London silver between $47 - $52 per ounce [3] Core Viewpoints - The Sino-US meeting released positive signals, easing trade tensions and reducing safe-haven buying. However, it did not change the medium-term logic of easing and credit contraction. The Fed's policy combination is "loose with stability", which suppresses short-term bullish sentiment on the interest rate side while maintaining support on the liquidity side [1][3] - The improvement in the trade environment boosts manufacturing expectations, and the relatively tight liquidity in the London market makes silver's performance relatively strong. If the subsequent Sino-US negotiations continue to improve, the recovery of industrial demand will drive the silver price to strengthen further [3] - If the negotiation results are successfully implemented but the macro data is weak, precious metals will maintain a shockingly strong pattern [3] Summary by Directory Key Information - The results of the Sino-US leaders' meeting are positive. Trump said he would lower tariffs on fentanyl-related goods and discuss the export of NVIDIA AI chips. The two sides reached a consensus on rare earth supply and agricultural product procurement, and market risk appetite rebounded [2] - The high-level talks focused on supply chain and investment issues. China proposed to selectively open investment areas, and Trump said he was "willing to consider resuming investment cooperation in non-sensitive industries" [2] - Geopolitical issues are still sensitive. The US refused to make substantial concessions in the security field but will maintain strategic ambiguity. Although it is difficult to form a "big deal" in this meeting, it helps to control conflict risks [2] - Gold ETFs had the largest single-day outflow in nearly half a year, indicating that institutions took short-term profits [2] Price Logic - Gold: The Sino-US meeting released a signal of easing, suppressing safe-haven buying in the short term. The Fed's policy combination is "loose with stability", which suppresses short-term bullish sentiment on the interest rate side while maintaining support on the liquidity side. Although some funds took profits at high levels, central bank gold purchases and fiscal deficit expansion still provide medium-term support [3] - Silver: The improvement in the trade environment boosts manufacturing expectations, and the relatively tight liquidity in the London market makes silver's performance relatively strong. If the subsequent Sino-US negotiations continue to improve, the recovery of industrial demand will drive the silver price to strengthen further. However, considering the high volatility of precious metals, short-term technical corrections need to be guarded against [3] Market Performance - On October 30, 2025, the comprehensive index of CITIC Futures commodities was not detailed; the commodity index was 2,250.38, down 0.57%; the commodity 20 index was 2,544.78, down 0.52%; the industrial product index was 2,246.75, down 0.87% [42] - The precious metal index was 3,210.36, with a daily decline of 0.13%, a decline of 2.14% in the past 5 days, an increase of 6.77% in the past month, and an increase of 45.11% since the beginning of the year [44]

Core Viewpoint - The merger between Wingtech Technology and Nexperia has evolved from a successful business transaction into a critical lesson for Chinese companies aiming to expand internationally, highlighting that commercial success alone does not guarantee the success of cross-border mergers in the new global landscape [5][6].

Governance Traps and Strategic Misjudgments - **Trap One**: The commitment to "independent operation" was perceived as a "covert takeover" due to changes in the power structure among key executives, leading to a loss of trust [17][18]. - **Strategic Insight**: Governance transparency is prioritized over control, emphasizing the need for clear processes in executive changes to maintain stakeholder trust [18]. - **Response Strategy**: Establish a governance structure that includes local independent directors to advise on decisions involving core technologies and local security [20]. - **Trap Two**: Financial success masked cultural integration failures, with the pandemic-induced demand surge temporarily alleviating internal issues [23][24]. - **Strategic Insight**: A dynamic communication mechanism with stakeholders is essential to address internal vulnerabilities [25]. - **Response Strategy**: Regular dialogue with all key stakeholders, including local unions and government departments, is crucial for building trust [28]. - **Trap Three**: The production of legacy chips triggered national security concerns, illustrating the broadening definition of "national security" in geopolitical contexts [29][30]. - **Strategic Insight**: Redefining "national security" is necessary, as it now encompasses critical infrastructure and core technologies [31]. - **Response Strategy**: Conduct geopolitical pressure tests during merger planning to assess potential impacts and develop contingency plans [32]. Summary and Path Forward - The Wingtech-Nexperia case underscores the extreme risks associated with geopolitical tensions, suggesting that future winners will be those companies that can balance financial acumen with geopolitical awareness [37]. - Companies must integrate their governance structures with national strategies, leveraging policy financial support and industry alliances to build systemic risk resilience [38]. - A clear action plan for global-minded enterprises includes elevating governance design to a strategic level, viewing stakeholder communication as a core competency, and conducting thorough geopolitical risk assessments [39][40].
