Group 1 - The core conclusion of the report indicates that the trend of U.S. debt risk is becoming normalized due to ongoing fiscal expansion and unresolved geopolitical conflicts, despite temporary market sentiment recovery following Trump's statements at the Davos Forum [1][25][27]. - The recent market turmoil, referred to as the "triple kill" of stocks, bonds, and currencies, was triggered by three main factors: U.S.-Europe Greenland dispute raising tariff concerns, Danish pension fund's exit from U.S. debt investments causing fears of weaponized U.S. debt, and Japan's early elections and weak bond auctions exacerbating market volatility [1][22][27]. - The U.S. fiscal deficit is projected to rise to 6.8% in 2026, with a significant increase in tax cuts by 47.7% year-on-year, and substantial growth in defense and border spending [1][27][30].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided in the report. 2. Core View The report indicates that the Fed's expected rate cut in December, global debt expansion, central bank gold - buying, and geopolitical risks are likely to support precious metal prices in the medium - to - long - term. However, the high price of platinum may curb downstream demand, and the supply - demand situation of lithium is expected to shift from tight to loose, which may lead to price adjustments for both [1]. 3. Summary by Related Catalogs 3.1 Precious Metal Market Data - **Gold**: Shanghai gold futures' closing price was 958.27 yuan/gram, with a change of 7.56 compared to the previous day and - 2.27 compared to the previous week.

Fiscal easing policies in multiple countries lead to expectations of debt expansion and fiscal deficit growth, and central banks' continuous gold - buying, along with geopolitical risks, may support precious metal prices in the medium - to - long - term [1]. - **Platinum**: High mining costs, unstable power supply, and aging equipment limit platinum production, while increased demand from traditional fuel and hybrid vehicles due to stricter emission standards and optimistic demand from other industries lead to a tight global platinum supply - demand situation in 2025 - 2026. However, high platinum prices may curb downstream demand [1]. - **Lithium**: Supply is affected by deep - mine mining, power shortages, etc., but increased recycling is expected. Demand from the automotive industry is expected to decline, while demand from other industries has low elasticity. The global lithium supply - demand situation is expected to shift from tight to loose in 2025 - 2026 [1]. 3.4 Trading Strategies - **Gold and Silver**: When prices decline, it is advisable to go long.
