Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content Core Viewpoints - On October 22, the prices of precious metals continued to decline significantly due to factors such as the cooling of risk - aversion sentiment, the strengthening of the US dollar, and investors' concentrated profit - taking. The transfer of silver inventories from the US and China to the London market alleviated the shortage of physical silver in London, further triggering the risk of silver selling [5]. - The sharp decline in precious metal prices indicates that the historic upward trend of this round has temporarily ended. In the short term, with the Fed still having expectations of a rate cut in October, precious metals may enter a wide - range shock. It is recommended that investors participate rationally, avoid short - term chasing up or selling down, and focus on long - term allocation. In the long run, the bullish logic of precious metals remains unchanged, and long - term investors can wait for the adjustment to complete and then go long on dips [5]. - In the long term, factors such as the Fed's potential rate cuts within the year, continuous global geopolitical uncertainties, the unsustainable US debt, intensified great - power competition increasing the risk of US dollar credit, and the continuation of global central bank gold purchases suggest that the long - term center of gold prices is likely to continue to rise [5].
