Report Industry Investment Rating - Gold: Cautiously bullish [8] - Silver: Cautiously bullish [8] - Arbitrage: Short the gold-silver ratio at high levels [9] - Options: On hold [9] Core View The Fed maintained the interest rate level unchanged, but there are still differences within the Fed regarding the future interest rate path. If neither interest rates nor inflation change significantly, the consolidation period of gold may be extended. Silver generally follows the trend of gold, but in the long term, there is a need to repair the gold-silver ratio. If there is a relaxation of tariff tensions and a slight increase in risk sentiment, silver may benefit and show a stronger trend than gold. However, the silver price may be dragged down by the decline in Comex copper prices, and investors can look for opportunities to buy on dips [1][8][9].
