Group 1: Report Industry Investment Rating - No relevant content Group 2: Core Viewpoints of the Report - In the short - term before the Spring Festival, market funds may be cautious, and precious metal prices are expected to enter a range - bound trend.

Core Viewpoint - The recent sharp correction in the precious metals market is viewed as a "violent reset" of high positions rather than the end of a bull market, with strong market support evident as gold and silver quickly rebound from recent lows [1][2]. Market Dynamics - The past three months saw gold surge from $4,000 to $5,500 and silver from $50 to $120, driven by speculative trading. The excessive market positioning, combined with short-term negative factors such as the hawkish Federal Reserve chair nomination, led to a concentrated exit of profit-taking and increased margin requirements, amplifying downward price pressure [3][4]. - Despite recording the largest single-day drop since 2013, gold rebounded over 6% on Tuesday, while silver rose approximately 8%, indicating that the previous sell-off was an overreaction and the market is returning to rational pricing [3]. Fundamental Support - The core logic supporting the bullish trend in precious metals remains intact, with global central banks continuing their strategic accumulation since 2022, providing long-term structural support for gold prices [4]. - Silver's industrial demand resilience amid electrification and tight physical market supply are expected to underpin its mid-term price stability. Although ETF outflows indicate a need for short-term sentiment recovery, any pullback is seen as a healthy filtering process as long as the macro environment remains stable [4]. Future Outlook - The volatility in the precious metals market is expected to remain high in the short term, with price movements inversely correlated with the U.S. dollar and interest rate expectations. Future price increases may be more stable and non-linear compared to the previous months' explosive growth [4]. - After the position cleanup, gold and silver are anticipated to rise steadily on a more solid foundation. Investors are advised to focus on central bank purchasing behavior and long-term guidance from real interest rates rather than being distracted by short-term position-driven volatility [4].

Report Summary 1. Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - The long - term upward driving force of precious metals remains unchanged. It is recommended that investors continue to go long after the downward momentum of precious metals weakens. However, due to a large influx of investment funds into the precious metals market recently, which has increased price volatility, investors are advised to strictly control their positions to avoid short - term fluctuations [4][5]. - The appointment of the next Fed Chairman by Trump has a reasonable impact on the correction of precious metals. The hawkish stance of the next Fed Chairman may compress the duration rather than the upward space of the medium - term bull market of gold. It is bullish for silver, platinum, and palladium relative to gold. The medium - and long - term upward trend of gold and the medium - term strength of silver, platinum, and palladium compared to gold are maintained. But investors should be vigilant against the medium - term risk that the Fed tightens monetary policy to end the precious metals bull market [5]. 3. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 3.1 Precious Metals Market Conditions and Outlook - **Intraday Market**: Due to the full release of internal adjustment risks attracting some bottom - fishing funds, and the incidents of the US military shooting down an Iranian drone and the twists in the US - Iran meeting, the precious metals sector continued to rebound from the sharp decline at the end of January. On February 3, during the Asian session, London gold returned to $5000 per ounce, and London silver was also approaching $90 per ounce [4]. - **Price Changes**: The previous closing price, highest price, lowest price, closing price, percentage change, open interest, and change in open interest of precious metal contracts such as the Shanghai Gold Index, Shanghai Silver Index, Guangzhou Platinum Index, and Guangzhou Palladium Index are provided. For example, the Shanghai Gold Index closed at 1,143.37, with a 4.39% increase [5]. - **Medium - term Market**: The appointment of the next Fed Chairman by Trump eliminated the market's hedging demand for this uncertainty, and the hawkish policy stance also alleviated concerns about the out - of - control of US fiscal and economic discipline. The correction of precious metals is reasonable, and the previous sharp rise of precious metals also needed a large pullback to release internal adjustment risks. The hawkish stance has no fundamental impact on the long - term bull market of gold and may mainly affect the duration of the medium - term bull market. It is bullish for silver, platinum, and palladium relative to gold. Since November 2025, a large amount of investment funds have flowed into the precious metals market, increasing price volatility. The annualized volatility of gold and silver calculated based on the rolling prices of the past three months has reached two to three times the historical average [5]. 3.2 Precious Metals Market - Related Charts - Multiple charts are provided, including Shanghai gold and silver futures indexes, London gold and silver spot prices, the basis of Shanghai futures indexes against Shanghai Gold TD, gold and silver ETF holdings, the gold - silver ratio, and the correlation between London gold and other assets [7][9][10]. 3.3 Main Macroeconomic Events/Data - Trump signed a spending agreement to end the partial shutdown of the US government, restoring the interrupted appropriations of some institutions and temporarily extending the appropriation for the Department of Homeland Security until February 13 [16]. - About 30 countries want to join a club targeting key mineral trade, with Japan, Australia, and South Korea already joining, and nearly 20 other countries showing strong interest.
