1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the document. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Last week, precious metal prices continued to be strong, with London spot gold approaching the historical high of $4,380 in October, and London spot silver reaching a new historical high of $67. The short - term K - line shows no turning signal. After Tuesday, the Fed's interest rate cut expectation rebounded slightly due to补发 of non - farm and CPI employment data, indicating downward pressure on the US economy and easing inflation [2]. - Since the end of November, silver has outperformed gold, and the gold - silver ratio has dropped significantly due to factors such as low supply elasticity and low inventory of silver, large deliveries of COMEX 2512 contracts, rigid industrial demand, continuous inflow of ETF investment demand (but a weekly outflow of 36.7 tons from the iShares Silver ETF last week), growth expectations of silver demand from green new energy and digital AI economy, and concerns about import tariffs caused by the uncertainty of the US 232 mineral survey results [3]. - Near - term trading logic (before January 2026): Be cautious about chasing high silver prices as price correction risks are accumulating. Factors include high implied volatility of SHFE silver options, potential technical support for the gold - silver ratio, alleviation of concentrated delivery pressure, possible release of the US 232 mineral survey results, and potential phased selling of silver by some indices and products [3]. - Long - term trading logic (after January 2026): Pay attention to the change of the US dollar index, the Fed's interest rate cut rhythm and RMP operation in the first half of 2026, central bank gold purchases under the de - dollarization trend, and the growth prospects of investment demand. Also, focus on key resource demand and tariff policies under anti - globalization and trade protection [4]. - Trend judgment: The short - term trend remains oscillating and strong. Gold should pay attention to the previous high resistance, and silver should be aware of the profit - taking pressure. The support and resistance levels for London spot gold are $4,100 - $4,250 - $4,400, and for London spot silver are $60 - $65 - $70. The unilateral strategy is to hold existing long positions cautiously. For gold, if it breaks through the historical high on the daily line, consider chasing the long position; for silver, be cautious about chasing high in the short term [4][5]. 3.
