Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the content Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - The underlying logic of the current precious metals bull market is global de - dollarization, which remains intact. Central bank gold purchases continue [81]. - Despite Trump's nomination of Warsh as the new Fed chair, the Fed is expected to continue cutting interest rates, leading to a decline in real US Treasury yields and benefiting gold and silver. Fed balance - sheet reduction is difficult to implement [81]. - The impairment of the US dollar's credit is due to multiple factors and is likely to enter a medium - to - long - term decline. 2026 is a big year for US Treasury issuance, with the total scale expected to exceed $40 trillion [81]. - Gold and silver are being redefined as anti - inflation assets and important components of global asset allocation. Silver's supply - demand contradiction remains unresolved, and it may have better price elasticity and return in 2026 [81]. - In the short term, there is a need for a technical correction, but the medium - to - long - term upward trend remains unchanged [81]. Group 3: Summary by Directory I. Market Review 1. Gold - In January 2026, the global gold market had a spectacular performance. London gold broke through the $5000 mark and reached nearly $5600, then had a significant drop. However, both London gold and Shanghai gold had cumulative gains of over 10%. Factors influencing the market included increased geopolitical uncertainty, accelerated de - dollarization, the Fed's inaction, the end of a series of negative factors, and Trump's appointment of a new Fed chair [14]. 2. Silver - In January 2026, the silver market also had an epic performance, with a more violent fluctuation. It had a cumulative gain of over 30%. The driving factors were similar to those of gold, and the potential risk of overseas delivery was also priced in. It also had a significant correction at the end of the month [17]. II. Macro Logic 1. Change in the Pricing Logic of Precious Metals - The traditional relationship between US Treasury real yields and gold has changed since 2023. The US debt, deficit, and the impairment of the US dollar's credit are becoming the new pricing anchors for gold. The pricing logic has shifted from the financial to the monetary attribute [21]. 2. De - dollarization Trend - The US dollar index has been declining since 2025, indicating a long - term decline in the US dollar premium. The "Triffin Dilemma" and the "Sea Lake Manor Agreement" are related to the US's economic strategy, which may lead to a reduction in the US dollar's status as a reserve currency. Global central banks have been de - dollarizing and increasing their gold holdings [24]. 3. Weakening of the Safe - haven Attributes of the US Dollar and US Treasuries - The US dollar and US Treasuries have started to show risk - asset characteristics, with the US stock, bond, and currency markets experiencing multiple sell - offs. Gold and silver's safe - haven attributes have been highlighted [28]. 4. Expansion of US Treasury Debt - The US Treasury debt has been expanding rapidly, with the total expected to exceed $40 trillion in 2026. This has led to a diversion of global safe - haven funds to gold, silver, and other assets [30]. 5. Gold as a Hedge against Credit Risk - Gold and silver have become the ultimate choice to hedge against the risks of the global credit currency system due to high global debt and the weakening of the US dollar's credibility [32]. 6. US Dollar Cycle - The US dollar has an approximately 17 - year cycle, and currently, it is at the start of a downward cycle. A decline in the US dollar index is expected to boost gold prices [34]. 7. US Economic and Policy Situation - The US GDP showed certain growth in 2025, consumer confidence improved in January 2026, the labor market cooled down, and inflation remained above the Fed's target. The Fed's independence has been challenged, and the market has different expectations for its policy [37][39][40]. 8. Redefinition of Gold - Gold has both "safe - haven" and "risk - asset" attributes. It can resist inflation and is an important part of global asset allocation [43]. III. Fundamental Logic 1. Central Bank Gold Purchases - In 2025, global central bank gold purchases reached a high level, though the pace slowed down. Some central banks increased their holdings, while others sold gold. De - dollarization is expected to continue in 2026, and central bank gold purchases will remain a fundamental demand for gold [49]. 2. Gold Investment Demand - In 2025, global gold total demand reached a record high, mainly driven by investment demand. Gold ETFs and physical gold investment demand increased, while gold jewelry demand declined in quantity but increased in value. Gold supply also increased [52]. 3. Silver Supply - The silver supply side has strong constraints, with limited growth in mineral and recycled silver. In 2025 and 2026, the total supply is expected to increase slightly [55]. 4. Silver Demand - Industrial demand accounts for nearly 60% of total silver demand. In 2025, total silver demand is expected to decline slightly, and industrial demand has different trends in different fields. AI is expected to be an important source of future demand growth [58]. 5. Silver Supply - Demand Gap - The silver market has been in short supply for five consecutive years, and the gap is expected to continue in 2026. The available inventory is extremely limited, and the price elasticity is high [62]. 6. Gold - Silver Ratio - The gold - silver ratio reflects the premium of gold over silver in terms of safe - haven demand. It is affected by economic cycles, inflation, and other factors. Currently, the ratio has dropped to a relatively low level, and there is room for further adjustment [63][64]. 7. Asset Management and ETF Holdings - For gold, the non - commercial net long position in the COMEX market has decreased, while the holdings of the largest gold ETF have increased. For silver, both the non - commercial net long position in the COMEX market and the holdings of the largest silver ETF have decreased [68][71]. 8. Technical Analysis - The monthly chart of London gold shows an upward trend, and the weekly chart of London silver shows a correction within the upward channel [76][77]. IV. Summary and Outlook - In February, the price ranges of London gold, Shanghai gold, London silver, and Shanghai silver are predicted. After the adjustment, there may be medium - to - long - term investment opportunities, and it is recommended to buy on dips [80].

Core Viewpoint - Gold prices have experienced significant fluctuations, with a notable drop of 8.35% in Comex gold futures, marking the largest single-day decline in nearly 40 years. Analysts suggest that while short-term pressures from profit-taking and the "Wosh trade" may lead to a period of volatility, the long-term narrative supporting gold prices remains intact, indicating potential for a new upward trend after the current adjustments [2][9]. Group 1: Recent Market Movements - Gold prices reached historical highs earlier in the week, with London gold spot prices peaking at $5,598.75 and Comex futures at $5,626.80 on January 29, before experiencing a sharp decline [2][9]. - The recent drop in gold prices is attributed to multiple factors, including profit-taking, the announcement of a new Federal Reserve chair, and increased margin requirements leading to forced liquidations [10][11]. Group 2: Impact of "Wosh Trade" - The "Wosh trade," linked to the nomination of Kevin Wosh as the next Federal Reserve chair, is seen as a key trigger for the recent gold price drop. Wosh's proposals include significant reductions in the Fed's balance sheet and a halt to actively lowering interest rates, which could strengthen the dollar but negatively impact precious metals [10][11]. - Analysts believe that Wosh's nomination is merely a catalyst for the decline, with the primary cause being substantial profit-taking and adjustments in trading positions [10][11]. Group 3: Long-term Outlook - Despite short-term volatility, analysts maintain that the structural factors supporting the current gold bull market remain unchanged, including de-dollarization, the potential for renewed Fed easing, geopolitical risks, and central bank gold purchases [12]. - Historical patterns indicate that gold price increases often coincide with rising volatility, suggesting that the recent downturn may be a necessary correction to release overheated market conditions, paving the way for future gains [11][12]. Group 4: Central Bank Activity - Central banks globally have been increasing their gold reserves, with purchases reaching 1,136 tons in 2022, the highest since 1967. Projections indicate that central bank gold purchases will remain high, with an expected 863 tons in 2025 [12][6]. - The ongoing concerns regarding the sustainability of U.S. debt and the dollar's status are driving central banks to bolster their gold holdings, which is expected to provide fundamental support for gold prices [12][6].
