1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content provided. 2. Core View of the Report - The expected Fed rate cuts and global debt inflation are likely to support precious metal prices in the medium to long - term. However, for platinum and palladium, although there are factors such as the Fed's expected rate cuts and balance - sheet expansion, the supply - demand situation and high prices may lead to price adjustments [1]. 3. Summary by Related Content 3.1 Precious Metal Market Data 3.1.1 Gold - Shanghai gold futures: On December 10, 2025, the closing price was 951.54, with a change of 2.98 from the previous day and 4.86 from the previous week; trading volume was 310489.00, a decrease of 6955.00 from the previous day and 87880.00 from the previous week; open interest was 194493.00, a decrease of 1834.00 from the previous day and 4979.00 from the previous week [1]. - Spot Shanghai Gold T+D: Closing price was 951.13, up 4.44 from the previous day and 2.69 from the previous week; trading volume was 28814.00, a decrease of 7010.00 from the previous day and 12850.00 from the previous week; open interest was 215872.00, a decrease of 15076.00 from the previous day and 1698.00 from the previous week [1]. - COMEX gold futures: Closing price was 4258.30, up 21.70 from the previous week and 19.60 from the previous day; trading volume was 180543.00, an increase of 6122.00 from the previous day and a decrease of 31526.00 from the previous week; open interest was 321283.00, an increase of 1832.00 from the previous day and 3457.00 from the previous week [1]. - London gold spot: The price was 4200.15, up 2.15 from the previous day and down 14.60 from the previous week [1]. 3.1.2 Silver - Shanghai silver futures: Closing price was 766.00; trading volume was 1814842.00, an increase of 505812.00 from the previous day and a decrease of 466045.00 from the previous week; open interest was 450557.00, an increase of 33231.00 from the previous day and a decrease of 1846.00 from the previous week [1]. - Spot Shanghai Silver T+D: Closing price was 14377.00; trading volume was 822474.00, an increase of 47084.00 from the previous day; open interest was 3844778.00, a decrease of 48876.00 from the previous day and 11028.00 from the previous week [1]. - COMEX silver futures: Closing price was 62.20, up 3.05 from the previous day and 1.04 from the previous week; trading volume was 115710.00, an increase of 2658.00 from the previous day and 11107.00 from the previous week; open interest was 117642.00, an increase of 3463.00 from the previous day and 1755.00 from the previous week [1]. - London silver spot: The price was 61.04, up 2.40 from the previous day and 3.60 from the previous week [1]. 3.2 Important Information - The Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points as expected, but three voting members opposed. It is still expected to cut rates once next year and will buy $40 billion in short - term bonds. Powell said the bond - buying scale may remain at a high level in the next few months, the labor market is gradually cooling but slower than expected, and at the current interest rates, the Fed can wait patiently. The impact of tariffs is expected to gradually fade next year [1]. - Trump is conducting a "final interview for the Fed chairman." Hassett is not yet a certainty, and Bessent still has a chance to succeed. Hassett said Trump will make a final decision on the Fed chairman candidate in the next 1 - 2 weeks and reiterated that the Fed still has a lot of room to cut interest rates [1]. 3.3 Multi - and Short - Side Logic and Trading Strategies 3.3.1 Gold and Silver - **Multi - and short - side logic**: The Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points in December and is expected to cut rates once each in 2026 and 2027, but the market expects two rate cuts in 2026. The Fed will start monthly reserve management purchases of short - term bonds worth $40 billion on December 12, which may gradually slow down to $20 - 25 billion per month later. Germany, the US, Japan, and the UK have launched fiscal stimulus policies, leading to expectations of debt inflation and fiscal deficit expansion in many countries. The 1 - month lease rate of London silver exceeds 6.4%, indicating a tight supply. Central banks of many countries are continuously buying gold, and geopolitical risks in regions such as Russia - Ukraine, the Middle East, and the US - Venezuela remain unresolved [1]. - **Trading strategy**: Focus on going long on price dips. For London gold, pay attention to the support level around $3900 - 4100 and the resistance level around $4400 - 4600; for Shanghai gold, focus on the support level around 890 - 920 and the resistance level around 1000 - 1050. For London silver, pay attention to the support level around $49 - 54 and the resistance level around $63 - 72; for Shanghai silver, focus on the support level around 11500 - 12500 and the resistance level around 15000 - 16000 [1]. 3.3.2 Platinum - **Multi - and short - side logic**: On the supply side, high mining costs, unstable power supply, and equipment maintenance may reduce global platinum production to 169 tons in 2025, and recycled platinum production may grow slowly to 50 tons. In 2026, global mined platinum production may be 174 tons, and recycled platinum production may be 53 tons, with total supply increasing to 227 tons. On the demand side, stricter emission standards increase the demand for platinum in traditional fuel and hybrid vehicles, and there is optimistic demand in industrial fields such as hydrogen production, but there is a risk of a decline in jewelry and investment demand. The World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC) predicts supply deficits of 26 and 18 tons in 2025 - 2026, and an average annual deficit of about 19 tons until at least 2029. However, high platinum prices may suppress downstream demand [1]. - **Trading strategy**: Take profits on previous long positions on price rallies and cautiously hold "long platinum, short palladium" positions. For London platinum prices, pay attention to the support level around $1300 - 1500 and the resistance level around $1800 - 2000; for domestic platinum prices, pay attention to the support level around 335 - 385 and the resistance level around 465 - 516 [1]. 3.3.3 Palladium - **Multi - and short - side logic**: On the supply side, deep - mine mining, power shortages, labor disputes, and lower ore grades have affected palladium production, but the scrap cycle of Chinese and global cars from 2026 - 2027 is expected to increase recycled supply. In 2025, mined and recycled palladium production may be 199 and 92 tons respectively, with a total supply of 291 tons. In 2026, mined and recycled palladium production may be 194 and 98 tons respectively, with a total supply of 292 tons. On the demand side, stricter emission standards and the development of new - energy vehicles have reduced the demand for palladium in the automotive sector, while the demand in industrial and medical fields has low elasticity. The World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC) predicts supply deficits of 8 and 3 tons in 2025 - 2026, and the supply - demand situation is expected to ease in 2027 [1]. - **Trading strategy**: Take profits on previous long positions on price rallies. For London palladium prices, pay attention to the support level around $1190 - 1390 and the resistance level around $1600 - 1800; for domestic palladium prices, pay attention to the support level around 305 - 357 and the resistance level around 415 - 465 [1].

1. Report's Industry Investment Rating - Not provided in the given content 2. Core View of the Report - The expected future interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve support the prices of precious metals. Economic and employment data are mixed, which disturbs the probability of a December interest rate cut by the Fed, but the probability remains above 80%. Fiscal easing policies in multiple countries, central banks' continuous gold purchases, and geopolitical risks will support precious metal prices in the long - term. The supply - demand expectations for platinum and rhodium in 2025 - 26 are tight and may shift from tight to loose respectively, and their prices may be adjusted due to various factors [1] 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs Precious Metals Market Data - **Gold**: On December 3, 2025, the closing price of the futures active contract was 956.70, with a decrease of 1.72 compared to the previous day. The trading volume was 273,359, a decrease of 13,624 from the previous day. The inventory (in ten - gram units) remained at 90,873. For spot Shanghai gold T+D, the closing price was - 5.15, the trading volume was 26,942, and the holding weight was 220,396. The spread between the near - month continuous and far - month active contracts was - 3.32, and the basis (spot - to - futures price difference) was - 3.73. In the international market, the closing price of COMEX gold futures was 4,133.80, the trading volume was 169,613, and the inventory (in troy ounces) was 36,573,657.72. The price of London gold spot was 4,210.30 [1] - **Silver**: On December 3, 2025, the closing price of the futures active contract of Shanghai silver was 13,536, the trading volume was 984,592, and the holding weight was - 53,754. The spread between the near - month continuous and far - month active contracts was - 7.00, and the basis was - 21.00. In the international market, the closing price of COMEX silver futures was 58.93, the trading volume was 107,261, and the inventory (in troy ounces) was 455,933,737.28. The price of London silver spot was 58.37 [1] Important Information - Bessent downplayed the Federal Reserve Chairman's control over interest rates and proposed setting a residence limit for regional Fed presidents, stating that tariffs could be reconfigured. The US ADP employment in November unexpectedly declined, with a decrease of 32,000 jobs, the largest drop since March 2023, while the US ISM services PMI expansion rate was the fastest in nine months, the price index was at a seven - month low, and the employment index was at a six - month high [1] Multi - and Short - Side Logic and Trading Strategies - **Gold and Silver**: The multi - side logic includes mixed economic and employment data disturbing the Fed's December interest rate cut probability, but the probability remaining above 80% due to some Fed officials' support. Fiscal easing policies in multiple countries, central banks' continuous gold purchases, high London silver lease rates, and geopolitical risks support precious metal prices in the long - term. The trading strategy is to mainly lay out long positions when prices decline. For London gold, focus on the support level around 3,800 - 4,000 and the resistance level around 4,300 - 4,600; for Shanghai gold, focus on 890 - 920 and 970 - 1,000. For London silver, focus on 49 - 54 and 59 - 63; for Shanghai silver, focus on 11,500 - 12,500 and 14,000 - 15,000 [1] - **Platinum**: The supply - side factors include high deep - mine mining costs, unstable power supply, and aging production equipment affecting production, and slow growth in recycled platinum production. The demand - side factors include increased demand from traditional fuel and hybrid cars due to higher emission standards and positive demand expectations from industries like hydrogen production, fiberglass, and jewelry investment. The 2025 - 26 global platinum supply - demand is expected to be tight. However, the expected interest rate cut by the Fed in December, the expected interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan, and high platinum prices suppressing downstream demand may lead to price adjustments. The trading strategy is to hold previous long positions cautiously or take profits at high prices, or consider the "long platinum, short silver" arbitrage opportunity. For London platinum, focus on the support level around 1,300 - 1,500 and the resistance level around 1,800 - 2,000; for domestic platinum, focus on 335 - 385 and 465 - 516 [1] - **Rhodium**: On the supply side, deep - mine mining, power shortages, labor disputes, and lower ore grades affect production, but an increase in recycled rhodium supply is expected due to the car scrapping cycle in China and globally. On the demand side, demand from cars is expected to decline due to higher emission standards and the development of new energy vehicles, and the demand elasticity in the industrial and medical fields is low. The 2025 - 26 global rhodium supply - demand is expected to shift from tight to loose. The expected interest rate cut by the Fed in December, the expected interest rate hike by the Bank of Japan, and the supply - demand shift may lead to price adjustments. The trading strategy is to hold previous long positions cautiously or take profits at high prices. For London rhodium, focus on the support level around 1,190 - 1,390 and the resistance level around 1,600 - 1,800; for domestic rhodium, focus on 305 - 357 and 415 - 465 [1]
