Core Viewpoint - The recent sharp correction in the precious metals market is viewed as a "violent reset" of high positions rather than the end of a bull market, with strong market support evident as gold and silver quickly rebound from recent lows [1][2]. Market Dynamics - The past three months saw gold surge from $4,000 to $5,500 and silver from $50 to $120, driven by speculative trading. The excessive market positioning, combined with short-term negative factors such as the hawkish Federal Reserve chair nomination, led to a concentrated exit of profit-taking and increased margin requirements, amplifying downward price pressure [3][4]. - Despite recording the largest single-day drop since 2013, gold rebounded over 6% on Tuesday, while silver rose approximately 8%, indicating that the previous sell-off was an overreaction and the market is returning to rational pricing [3]. Fundamental Support - The core logic supporting the bullish trend in precious metals remains intact, with global central banks continuing their strategic accumulation since 2022, providing long-term structural support for gold prices [4]. - Silver's industrial demand resilience amid electrification and tight physical market supply are expected to underpin its mid-term price stability. Although ETF outflows indicate a need for short-term sentiment recovery, any pullback is seen as a healthy filtering process as long as the macro environment remains stable [4]. Future Outlook - The volatility in the precious metals market is expected to remain high in the short term, with price movements inversely correlated with the U.S. dollar and interest rate expectations. Future price increases may be more stable and non-linear compared to the previous months' explosive growth [4]. - After the position cleanup, gold and silver are anticipated to rise steadily on a more solid foundation. Investors are advised to focus on central bank purchasing behavior and long-term guidance from real interest rates rather than being distracted by short-term position-driven volatility [4].
