Core Viewpoint - Gold prices are likely to remain high or continue to rise in the future, with a low probability of significant short-term declines, but potential risks such as persistent inflation and geopolitical tensions should be monitored [1]. Group 1: Factors Supporting Gold Prices - Central banks have been on a gold-buying spree, with net purchases exceeding 1,000 tons annually for three consecutive years, aimed at diversifying foreign reserves and reducing dependence on the US dollar [5]. - China, as the largest identifiable buyer, has increased its gold holdings for eight consecutive months as of 2025, with some central bank purchases remaining undisclosed, providing implicit support [5]. - Geopolitical risks, including the Middle East situation and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, have heightened gold's appeal as a safe-haven asset [5]. - Historical trends indicate that gold prices tend to rise rapidly during escalations in geopolitical conflicts, with limited pullbacks [5]. - Investment demand is recovering, with significant net inflows into gold ETFs in Q1 2025, suggesting renewed interest from Western institutions and individual investors [5]. - Strong physical gold demand in China saw a nearly 30% increase in Q1 2025, driven by its investment attributes [5]. - Supply growth is slow, with mining output struggling to increase and rising costs, while old gold recycling has slightly decreased year-on-year in Q1 2025 [5].

Group 3: Potential Downside Risks - Persistent inflation above expectations could lead the Federal Reserve to delay rate cuts or even raise rates, diminishing gold's attractiveness [5]. - A significant reduction in geopolitical tensions could weaken safe-haven demand, potentially leading to a price pullback [5]. - A strengthening US dollar due to better-than-expected economic recovery in the US or recession in other regions could pressure gold prices [5]. - A slowdown in central bank gold purchases or reductions in holdings by some countries could undermine market confidence [5]. Group 4: Investment Recommendations - Long-term allocation: Gold is recommended as a part of an asset portfolio, with a suggested allocation of 5%-15% [5]. - Short-term trading: Investors should monitor key events related to geopolitical risks, Federal Reserve policies, and inflation data to adjust positions flexibly [5].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Recent criticism of the Fed Chair by Trump and the defense of central bank independence by the Treasury Secretary have increased market divergence on the future interest - rate path, weakening dollar confidence and boosting the appeal of gold as a non - interest - bearing asset. Uncertainty in interest - rate expectations has solidified the demand for safe - havens. The agreement between the US and Japan on tariff cuts initially boosted the dollar and Treasury yields, but the subsequent decline was quickly absorbed by the gold price. Multiple investment banks have raised their gold price forecasts for the year to between $3600 and $4000. The underperformance of the US in multiple economic indicators has limited the upward momentum of the dollar and yields, providing macro - environmental support for high gold prices. Geopolitical risks may trigger a rapid inflow of safe - haven funds. Future economic data and the Fed's stance at the meeting will determine the trends of Treasury yields and the dollar, which in turn will affect the gold price. It is recommended to maintain the view of buying on dips, while being cautious of short - term correction risks [2] 3.

Core Viewpoint - International gold prices have risen over 1.5%, surpassing $3,400 per ounce, driven by increased market risk aversion and weakening of the US dollar and Treasury yields, with analysts identifying four key factors that may determine whether gold can break through $3,500 and challenge historical highs set in the first half of the year [1][3].
