Summary by Directory 1. Gold - **Core Logic**: In the short - term, regarding risk aversion, although trade agreements are being reached in batches, concerns about European and American debts and the independence of the Federal Reserve have resurfaced. The risk of stagflation in the US economy has increased, with employment weakening and inflation being moderate, leading to a rebound in the expectation of the Fed's interest rate cuts. In terms of the risk - aversion attribute, the yield of the US 30 - year Treasury bond rose to the highest level since mid - July, following the trends in European and British bond markets, as investors worried that governments of major economies were losing control of fiscal deficits. Trump's attempt to fire Fed Governor Cook, and Cook's lawsuit against Trump for overstepping his authority, raised concerns about the Fed's independence. In terms of the monetary attribute, Powell hinted that the Fed might need to cut interest rates but would act cautiously. He announced the Fed's new policy framework, returning to a flexible inflation target.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core View of the Report - The precious metals market showed a weak and volatile trend this week. The main reasons were the continuous decline in safe - haven demand, the easing of the Russia - Ukraine conflict (although there were still uncertainties), and the "dampening" of the September interest - rate cut expectation by three Fed officials before Powell's speech. The initial jobless claims in the US last week reached the largest increase in about three months, the labor market remained weak, and the US dollar index and US Treasury yields were strong. The expectation of a September interest - rate cut by the Fed dropped from 85% to around 71%, and the expected number of interest - rate cuts this year decreased from 3 to 2. It is expected that precious metals will be weak and volatile in the short term. In the medium and long term, the rising risk of economic recession may force the Fed to cut interest rates, and the precious metals' long - term upward trend remains due to the "de - dollarization" process. The Fed's Powell may cool down the interest - rate cut expectation at the global central bank annual meeting, and investors are advised to manage risks in advance [5]. - After the non - farm payrolls report, many Fed officials still believed that they were not ready to change their economic outlook before seeing more data. The September interest - rate cut was not certain. Powell at the global central bank annual meeting might suppress the current aggressive interest - rate cut expectation in the market. Technically, London gold returned to the lower edge of the triangular pattern, and there was a risk of a short - term downward break, with an expected trend of falling first and then rising [6]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Safe - Haven Attribute - There were still uncertainties in the Russia - Ukraine situation, and the risk of geopolitical conflict remained. Ukrainian President Zelensky said that Russia's large - scale attacks in multiple regions of Ukraine overnight showed that Moscow was avoiding negotiations to end the war [1]. - The Trump trade war entered a new stage. White House officials said that Trump had signed an executive order, and the truce period of China - US tariffs was extended by another 90 days [1]. 2. Monetary Attribute - This week, several Fed officials "dampened" the expectation of a September interest - rate cut. The initial jobless claims in the US last week reached the largest increase in about three months, and the labor market remained weak. The Fed meeting minutes showed that only two policymakers supported an interest - rate cut at the July meeting. US retail sales in July increased strongly, and wholesale prices jumped, adding uncertainties to the Fed's interest - rate cut roadmap [2]. - After the non - farm payrolls report, there were still differences within the Fed. The expectation of a September interest - rate cut by the Fed dropped from 85% to around 71%, and the expected number of interest - rate cuts this year decreased from 3 to 2. The US dollar index and US Treasury yields faced resistance in their downward movement and were strong [2]. 3. Commodity Attribute - Although gold jewelry consumption was suppressed by high prices, the investment demand for gold bars and other products offset some of the impact. Emerging market central banks, including the People's Bank of China, promoted the central bank's gold - buying demand to remain at a high level through the "de - dollarization" strategy [2]. - The World Silver Association expected that due to a 1% decrease in demand and a 2% increase in total supply, the global silver supply - demand gap in 2025 would narrow by 21% to 117.6 million ounces (about 3,658 tons) [2]. 4. Capital Flow - Recently, the net long positions of CFTC managed funds continued to be reduced; the net long positions of domestic Shanghai gold futures companies at a high level were continuously reduced, and the net long positions of Shanghai silver were slightly increased at a low level; the world's largest gold ETF and silver ETF ended their long - term downward trend and slowly increased their positions [3]. 5.

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Short - term: Gold is weak and silver is strong, mainly due to the short - term high - level callback of risk - aversion demand, and the possibility of the Fed's near - term interest rate cut is eliminated. The expected supply - demand gap of silver still exists, and the inflation expectation rebounds due to the trade war, improving the expected industrial demand for silver [7]. - Medium - term: The risk of economic recession increases, which may force the interest - rate cut logic to be in the making. Precious metals will continue to fluctuate at a high level [7][9]. - Long - term: The global trade war promotes the reconstruction of the economic and political system and accelerates the reconstruction of the monetary system. There is still an upward trend for precious metals in the process of "de - dollarization" [7][9]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Risk - aversion Attribute - Trade agreements are reached in batches, and the negotiation of the US - EU trade agreement has made progress. The geopolitical risk eases, weakening the risk - aversion demand [2]. - Trump's threats to the Fed's independence have eased market concerns [2]. 2. Monetary Attribute - US economic data is mixed. In June, existing home sales dropped to a nine - month low, while the number of initial jobless claims last week hit a three - month low [3]. - The European Central Bank keeps interest rates unchanged, and the optimistic economic forecast triggers speculation about the end of interest rate cuts. The Fed is more divided and remains cautious about interest rate cuts.
