特朗普周日在白宫节日招待会上表示："我们很快就会迎来一位优秀的美联储主席，他会希望看到利率下降。我们现在正努力应对高利率局面。" 哈塞特周日试图淡化总统可能对美联储决策产生的直接影响。他暗示，特朗普只是众多值得咨询的专家之一，其意见只有在合理且有数据支撑时才重 要。 "（作为主席）我也很乐意每天与总统交谈，因为和他交谈非常有趣，"哈塞特说。但他反驳了特朗普意见将与FOMC委员投票权重等同的说法，强调 决策者可以自由拒绝其意见。 来源|国际财闻汇 白宫国家经济委员会主任凯文·哈塞特表示，如果他被选为美联储主席，他会考虑总统特朗普的政策意见，但央行的利率决策仍将保持独立。 这位特朗普的首席经济顾问周日在CBS节目"Face the Nation"中表示，总统"对我们应当采取什么行动有着非常坚定且有充分依据的观点"。"但归根 结底，美联储的职责是保持独立性，与美联储理事会和联邦公开市场委员会（FOMC）成员合作，就利率水平达成集体共识。"他说。 哈塞特是在回应特朗普上周五有关他应有权向美联储提出利率建议的说法。特朗普及其高级顾问数月来持续施压美联储主席鲍威尔降息，同时也在权 衡接替鲍威尔的人选。鲍威尔的美联储主席任 ...

中央银行的独立性，如同所有其他形式的制度完整性一样，在华盛顿已不再流行。其最坚定的支持者和 捍卫者正陆续离场，取而代之的是坚定的党派人士和货币政策的异见者。美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔的 即将退休，给了美国总统唐纳德·特朗普一个改变路线的机会，以修正他在2018年任命这位央行行长的 举动，而这一决定已令他追悔莫及。斯科特·贝森特对遴选过程的牢牢掌控意味着，无论谁得到这个职 位，美国财政部长都将实质上坐镇主席之位。 智通财经APP了解到，特朗普多次公开批评鲍威尔，指责他降息速度不够快，称其为"蠢货"和"总是太 迟"，并将审查候选人的责任交给了贝森特。这位总统表示他已将名单缩减至一个名字，并且没有否 认，这位首选候选人就是国家经济委员会主任凯文·哈西特。 美国注定会在某个时候面临另一场经济或金融危机。一个受到掣肘的美联储将意味着，当危机来临时， 政府将掌握更大的权力。一个央行需要公众的信任和信誉来控制通胀并保持信贷稳健。这些是特朗普的 财政部长无法提供的东西。 尽管贝森特没有明确主张具体的结构性解决方案，但其他批评者主张重新审视1951年的《美联储-财政 部协议》。那次握手协议允许美联储控制自己的资产负债表，废除了战 ...

Core Viewpoint - Hassett emphasizes the independence of the Federal Reserve (Fed) in monetary policy decisions, stating that while the President's opinions can be considered, they do not hold equal weight in the decision-making process [3][5]. Group 1: Independence of the Federal Reserve - Hassett clearly states that the Fed's role is to maintain independence and work collaboratively with the Board members and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to reach a consensus on interest rates [4]. - He refutes the notion that the President's opinions carry the same weight as FOMC voting members, asserting that policymakers can freely reject the President's views and vote differently [5].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating The report does not mention the industry investment rating. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - In 2025, the precious metals market shone brightly. Gold and silver were the best - performing assets among global major asset classes, with silver doubling in value and gold rising over 60%, the best annual performance since 1979. The underlying logic driving this bull market was the global shake of faith in the US dollar system, the decline of the real interest rate's explanatory power for precious metal prices, and the weakening independence of the Federal Reserve. Precious metals were re - defined from traditional safe - haven assets to inflation - resistant and risk assets [2][167]. - In 2026, the bull market in the precious metals market is expected to continue. The factors driving the 2025 rise may be strengthened. The Fed chair change, potential interest rate cuts, and increased US debt issuance may further undermine the US dollar's credit. Global central banks are likely to maintain strong gold - buying intentions, and investment demand for precious metals is expected to be further released. Silver may have a larger price increase than gold, and the gold - silver ratio may further decline [3][4][168]. 3. Summary by Relevant Sections I. Review of Long - term and 2025 Trends of Precious Metals - **Long - term historical trends**: Since the Bretton Woods system in 1944, the gold price has experienced multiple bull - bear cycles. After the system collapsed in the 1970s, the gold price became market - oriented. From 1972 - 2023, it can be divided into five stages: the 1973 - 1980 bull market, the 1980 - 2000 bear market, the 2000 - 2011 bull market, the 2011 - 2018 bear market, and the 2019 - present bull market [12][13][14]. - **2025 trends**: Gold had two main upward waves in 2025, reaching a high of nearly $4400 per ounce. Silver's performance was even more remarkable, with a cumulative increase of over 80%. The gold - silver ratio declined from a high level [19][20][21]. II. Decline of the Explanatory Power of US Treasury Real Interest Rates for Precious Metal Prices Since 2023, US Treasury real interest rates have shown a positive correlation with gold prices. In 2025, their explanatory power for gold prices further weakened. The US debt, deficit, and damaged US dollar credit are becoming the new pricing anchors for gold, and the pricing logic has shifted from the financial to the monetary attribute [27][28]. III. The Underlying Logic of the Current Precious Metals Bull Market is Global De - dollarization - **The US dollar returning to its intrinsic value**: In 2025, the US dollar index declined by over 10%. The "Sea Lake Manor Agreement" aims to address the US trade deficit and manufacturing hollowing - out, which may lead to a long - term decline in the US dollar index [32][33]. - **Shaken faith in the US dollar**: In 2025, the US dollar and US Treasuries lost their safe - haven properties and began to show risk - asset characteristics. Gold and silver's safe - haven properties were highlighted [38][39]. - **Loosening of global capital's focus on US dollar assets**: In 2025, global capital reduced its allocation of US dollar assets and increased non - US assets. Precious metals benefited from this capital flow. In 2026, the attractiveness of US dollar assets may increase, but precious metals still have investment value [42][43][46]. - **Inability of stablecoins and the "Pennsylvania Plan" to fundamentally strengthen US dollar and US Treasury credit**: Stablecoins can temporarily increase US Treasury demand, but in the long run, they may accelerate the collapse of the US dollar credit system. The "Pennsylvania Plan" has not achieved the expected results in stabilizing the long - term US Treasury demand [49][53][57]. - **The US dollar index entering a new medium - to - long - term downward channel**: Historically, the US dollar index has a cycle of about 17 years, with 6 - 7 years of rising and 10 years of falling. Currently, it is at the beginning of a new downward cycle, which is favorable for the rise of precious metal prices [60][61][62]. IV. The Monetary Attributes of Precious Metals Shine Global high debt and shaken faith in the US dollar have made gold and silver the ultimate choice to hedge against the risk of the credit - currency system. In 2025, global major economies' long - term bond yields rose, and the US and French sovereign ratings were downgraded. The US Treasury debt scale expanded rapidly, and global central banks increased their gold holdings. The Fed's independence was severely challenged, which was conducive to the rise of precious metal prices [70][71][75]. V. Redefinition of Precious Metals - **Transition from safe - haven to inflation - resistant and risk assets**: Gold and silver are being re - defined from traditional safe - haven assets to inflation - resistant and risk assets. In 2026, with the Fed's potential interest rate cuts and balance - sheet expansion, global inflation may rise again, increasing the attractiveness of precious metals [90][91]. - **Highlighted value as a major asset allocation**: Gold and silver have both risk - asset attributes. Their volatility is similar to that of the S&P 500, and their positive correlation with the US stock market is increasing. They are becoming an important part of global major asset allocation [94]. VI. Changes in the Supply - Demand Structure of Precious Metals - **Global central banks' gold - buying**: In 2025, the global central banks' gold - buying pace slowed down in the first half of the year but accelerated in the third quarter. It is expected that in 2026, central banks' gold - buying intentions will remain strong due to the potential weakening of the US dollar credit [96][99][101]. - **Global physical gold supply and demand**: In 2025, gold investment demand soared, compensating for the decline in central banks' gold - buying. Although the supply was slightly in surplus in the first three quarters, the supply - demand pattern tightened compared to 2024. In 2026, the physical gold market may face a supply shortage [106][110][111]. - **Global physical silver supply and demand**: In recent years, silver supply has been constrained. In 2025, supply is expected to increase by about 2%. In 2026, the supply growth rate may be about 1.5%. Demand in 2025 is expected to decline by 1%, but in 2026, it may increase by 2%. The silver market has had a supply shortage for five consecutive years, and the shortage may widen in 2026 [112][121][127]. VII. Technical and Seasonal Analysis - **Technical analysis**: Gold's upward space has been fully opened. Based on historical bull - market performance, it still has room for growth. Silver usually lags behind gold in entering the bull market but has a larger cumulative increase. Technically, it supports a significant increase in silver prices [144][146]. - **Seasonal analysis**: For gold, December has the highest winning rate, and November - January is the strong - season period. For silver, January and June have a higher probability of decline, while March and October have a higher probability of increase [149]. VIII. Position Changes In 2025, the inventories of COMEX gold and silver increased. The non - commercial net long positions in the futures market decreased, but the spot - market sentiment was stronger, as shown by the increase in ETF holdings [157]. IX. Arbitrage Strategy The gold - silver ratio reflects the premium of gold over silver in terms of safe - haven demand. In 2025, the gold - silver ratio declined. In 2026, with the rise of inflation expectations and copper prices, the gold - silver ratio is expected to further decline to around 60 [162][163]. X. Full - text Summary and Operational Suggestions The bull market in the precious metals market in 2026 is expected to continue. The upper pressure range for London gold is $5000 - $5200 per ounce, and the lower support range is $4100 - $4300 per ounce. For Shanghai gold futures, the pressure range is 1200 - 1250 yuan per gram, and the support range is 920 - 940 yuan per gram. The upper pressure range for London silver is $90 - $95 per ounce, and the lower support range is $55 - $60 per ounce. For Shanghai silver futures, the pressure range is 19000 - 20000 yuan per kilogram, and the support range is 13000 - 13500 yuan per kilogram [168]. XI. Related Stocks The report lists the cumulative price increases of some precious - metal - related stocks in 2025, such as Shandong Gold (600547.SH) with a 59.05% increase and Western Gold (601069.SH) with a 129.82% increase [170].

Group 1: Silver Market Dynamics - Silver prices have experienced a significant rebound, with a year-to-date increase exceeding 100% as of December 9, 2025, driven by both investment demand and physical supply shortages [1] - The global silver supply is projected to remain flat at 813 million ounces in 2025, while demand is expected to decline to 1.12 billion ounces, resulting in a supply gap of 100 to 118 million ounces for the fifth consecutive year [4][5] - Investment demand for silver is bolstered by strong inflows into silver ETFs, with the largest ETF, SLV, holding 15,900 tons of silver, reflecting a 7% year-on-year increase [4] Group 2: Gold Market Insights - Gold prices have risen approximately 60% year-to-date, supported by investment demand and central bank purchases, with global central banks acquiring 220 tons of gold in Q3 2025, a 28% increase from the previous quarter [2] - The total global gold demand reached a record high of 1,313 tons in Q3 2025, with investment demand accounting for 537.33 tons, a 47.3% year-on-year increase [2] - The potential for continued monetary easing by central banks may sustain upward pressure on gold prices, although geopolitical tensions and a decline in investment demand could limit short-term gains [2][8] Group 3: Federal Reserve and Economic Outlook - The independence of the Federal Reserve is at risk, which could exacerbate domestic inflation and undermine the dollar's purchasing power, potentially leading to increased gold purchases by global central banks [3] - The labor market shows signs of slowing, with the annualized hiring rate dropping to approximately 21.5%, indicating a shift in employee retention behavior [7] - The possibility of the Federal Reserve lowering interest rates in December 2025 is high, but the central bank may issue hawkish statements to prevent market dependency on automatic policy adjustments [6][7]

Core Viewpoint - Kevin Hassett, Trump's chief economic advisor, stated that if selected to lead the Federal Reserve, he would consider the president's policy opinions while maintaining the independence of the central bank's interest rate decisions [1][2]. Group 1: Independence of the Federal Reserve - Hassett emphasized that the Federal Reserve's role is to remain independent and work collectively with board members and the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) to form a consensus on interest rates [2][3]. - He refuted the notion that the president's opinions hold equal weight to those of FOMC voting members, asserting that policymakers can freely reject the president's views and vote differently [2][3]. Group 2: Trump's Influence and Pressure - Trump and his senior advisors have been pressuring Fed Chair Jerome Powell for months to lower interest rates, indicating a desire for a Fed chair who would support rate reductions [2][4]. - In a recent interview, Trump expressed that the president should be able to suggest interest rate policies, sparking renewed discussions about the independence of the Federal Reserve [2][4]. Group 3: Selection of the New Fed Chair - Hassett is widely regarded as a leading candidate for the Fed chair position, but Trump has not made a final decision, having also met with former Fed governor Kevin Warsh [4]. - The selection of the new chair will significantly impact the future direction of U.S. monetary policy, with the new appointee needing to balance Trump's policy expectations with the need to uphold the Fed's institutional independence [4].

白宫国家经济委员会主席凯文.哈塞特表示，如果被选中领导美联储，他会考虑美国总统特朗普的政策 意见，但央行的利率决策仍将保持独立。 即便担任美联储主席，"我也很乐意每天和总统交谈，直到我们俩都去见上帝，因为和他交谈实在太有 意思了，"哈塞特表示。 白宫首席经济顾问哈塞特上周日称，总统"对我们应当采取的行动有着非常坚定且理由充分的看 法"。"但最终，美联储的职责是保持独立性，并与联邦储备理事会以及联邦公开市场委员会的成员们合 作，就利率应处于何种水平达成集体共识，"他表示。 然而，他驳斥了"总统的意见将与联邦公开市场委员会投票成员具有同等分量"的说法，称政策制定者可 自由拒绝总统意见，并"投出不同的票"。"不，不，他不会有任何分量，"哈塞特称。"只有当他的意见 正确、且基于数据时，才有分量。" 哈塞特是在回应关于特朗普上周五言论的提问。特朗普当时表示，他应该能够就美联储设定的利率提出 建议。 特朗普及其高级顾问数月来一直在敦促美联储主席杰伊.鲍威尔降低利率，同时也在权衡他自己选择接 替鲍威尔的人选——后者将于明年5月结束任期。 哈塞特被视为这一职位的热门人选，不过特朗普上周也与前美联储理事凯文.沃什会面。特朗普在 ...
