Report Summary 1) Report Industry Investment Rating No specific industry investment rating is provided in the report. 2) Core Viewpoints - The precious metals market is expected to continue a moderately strong and volatile trend. The dovish expectation that the Fed will cut interest rates by 25BP in September is likely to dominate the market. The research team is optimistic about the medium - term trend of gold but warns that the recovery expectation from the strong performance of emerging - market equities may suppress its elasticity. The Fed is expected to restart the interest - rate cut cycle in September, and overseas liquidity will maintain an expansion trend in the next 1 - 2 quarters, which is favorable for the gold trend. The current weak economic reality has not reversed, and the "interest - rate cut + fundamental downturn" stagflation - like combination is more beneficial to gold. If the situation changes to an "interest - rate cut + recovery" combination, silver will benefit more [2][4][7]. 3) Summary by Related Content Key Information - Trump's executive order to double India's tariffs to 50% took effect. Starting from 00:01 on the 27th Eastern Time, the US imposed an additional 25% ad - valorem tariff on imported Indian goods, causing many US customers to cancel orders. - The Trump administration is considering exerting greater influence on the 12 regional reserve banks of the Fed. Trump claims to remove Fed Governor Lisa Cook from office, and if approved by the court, he will have the opportunity to control a majority of seats on the seven - member Fed Board of Governors. - Fed's Williams is quite optimistic about the economic situation, stating that the Fed may still maintain a certain degree of restrictiveness after interest - rate cuts, and each meeting is full of uncertainties [3]. Price Logic - On Wednesday, gold continued its moderately strong and volatile trend, while silver weakened slightly. Concerns about the Fed's independence are intensifying, and the doubling of US - India tariffs has increased the long - term stagflation expectation in the US. The late - session decline of the domestic equity market has suppressed silver prices in the short term. Before the release of next week's non - farm payroll data, the market's expectation of a 25BP interest - rate cut by the Fed in September remains stable [2][4]. Outlook - The weekly range for spot London gold is expected to be between 3300 and 3500, and for spot London silver, it is expected to be between 36 and 40 [7].

Summary of Conference Call Records Industry Overview - The conference call primarily discusses the lithium carbonate industry and its supply dynamics, particularly in relation to the impact of government policies and market conditions on lithium supply and pricing trends [1][2][4]. Key Points and Arguments 1. **Lithium Supply Dynamics**: - Despite a significant drop in lithium carbonate prices, approximately 50% of production capacity is currently unprofitable. However, high-cost projects like the Jiangxi mica mine and Zimbabwe lithium spodumene mine have not ceased operations due to strategic decisions and local government support [1][2]. - The closure of the underground project in Yichun is expected to last over three months, indicating stricter government regulation and potential impacts on lithium supply [1][3]. 2. **Impact of Government Policies**: - The government’s crackdown on illegal approvals and overproduction is likely to affect lithium supply. The most cautious estimate suggests that known shutdown projects could impact global lithium salt supply by about 7% in 2025 [1][5]. - In a neutral scenario, if the government aims to regulate the industry, potential production impacts could reach 10%-13%, indicating a possible supply-demand reversal in the coming years [1][5]. 3. **Market Reactions and Economic Indicators**: - The market is highly sensitive to U.S. government policies, particularly regarding tariffs, which can lead to volatility in gold prices and reflect a high-risk environment [7]. - Recent dovish signals from Federal Reserve officials suggest a likelihood of interest rate cuts, which could stimulate investment in the renewable energy sector and increase demand for lithium carbonate [8][9]. 4. **Future Trends in the Lithium Industry**: - The lithium industry is expected to face challenges due to long resource development cycles and high-cost projects struggling to maintain profitability. However, with increasing demand from the electric vehicle and energy storage markets, the long-term outlook remains positive [4][6]. - The potential for a supply shortage exists if the government enforces restrictions on low-cost projects, which could lead to a significant impact on domestic lithium production [5]. 5. **Investment Recommendations**: - Companies with stable valuations, such as Zhongmin Resources, are recommended due to their growth in copper and minor metals, which could support overall market value [6]. - Investors are advised to monitor leading companies like Ganfeng Lithium and Tianqi Lithium, especially if positive signals emerge from the demand side [6]. Other Important Insights - The historical context of the Federal Reserve's actions indicates that rate cuts typically lead to increases in precious metal prices, which could indirectly benefit the lithium sector [9]. - The current market environment suggests that while short-term price reversals may be challenging, a combination of supply changes and policy support could stabilize prices in the medium term [6][10].
