1. Report Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the document 2. Core Views of the Report - **Gold**: The price was supported by strong buying after a decline, with a rebound due to disappointing US non - farm payroll data. The short - term gold - silver ratio may be in a rebound channel, and the overall gold and silver market lacks a clear trend, mainly in a range - bound pattern [7]. - **Silver**: The upward space is basically saturated, showing a relatively weak trend this week [7]. - **Copper**: Global total inventory increased, with a significant increase in LME inventory.
