Report Summary 1. Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the report 2. Core View - The long - term upward trend of gold and silver prices is expected to continue, and the target range for this year is raised. The upper limit of spot gold is expected to be 5900 - 6000 US dollars per ounce, and the upper limit of spot silver is expected to be 120 - 150 US dollars per ounce. However, the risk of overheating in the short - term market continues to increase, and investors need to pay attention to the rhythm and holding position risks [8][11] 3. Summary by Related Contents Price Movement - On January 26th, the prices of gold and silver rose sharply. The Shanghai Gold Index rose by 3.67% and the Shanghai Silver Index rose by 12.78%. The spot price of gold in London broke through $5,100 per ounce, and the spot price of silver in London approached $110 per ounce [3][4] Commentary and Outlook - **Geopolitical Factors**: In January, the US had frequent conflicts with South America, Europe, and Iran. Geopolitical risks led to a credit crisis in the US dollar, which was an important upward driver for precious metals. Disputes over Greenland between the US and Europe and the tense situation in Iran repeatedly disturbed the market, and the risk - aversion sentiment provided direct impetus for precious metals. The poor performance of US stocks, bonds, and currencies in January further supported the long - term upward trend of precious metals [6][9] - **Federal Reserve Factors**: The chairperson of the Federal Reserve was undecided, and the independence risk exceeded the impact of delaying the interest rate cut. The recently disclosed economic data in the US maintained overall resilience, and the Fed's attendance for the interest rate cut this year was postponed to June. However, the precious metals market responded minimally to the delay of the interest rate cut expectation. Reid became the candidate with the highest winning probability, and his dovish remarks injected a strong stimulant into the future interest rate cut space [7][10] - **Market Risk and Target Range**: The risk of overheating in the short - term market continues to increase. The volatility of silver prices has remained at a historical high, and gold prices have risen. The conclusion of the 232 investigation on key minerals eliminated the short - term tariff risk for silver, and the return of inventory led to a decline in the London silver lease interest rate. If geopolitical issues ease temporarily or the Federal Reserve makes an unexpected hawkish statement, it may increase the risk of short - term market adjustment. Based on multiple factors, the target range for gold and silver this year is raised [8][11]
