Report Summary 1. Investment Rating No investment rating for the industry is provided in the report. 2. Core Viewpoints - During the National Day holiday in 2025, international gold prices rose continuously. New York and London gold prices broke through the key psychological level of $4,000 per ounce, with a holiday increase of over 4% and a year - to - date increase of over 50%. The strong performance of gold prices is mainly due to the resonance of three driving factors: surging避险需求 driven by government shutdowns and geopolitical conflicts, expectations of monetary policy including interest - rate cut trades and damaged US dollar credit, and structural inflow of funds with central bank and ETF buying [3][26]. - On the night of last Friday, due to President Trump's post on social media about imposing a 100% tariff on China, commodities and US stocks generally declined, while the gold price fluctuated upwards. Sino - US trade frictions have increased market避险情绪, which is beneficial for precious metals, and gold may continue to outperform silver. However, the short - term general decline of assets may lead to liquidity problems, causing short - term pressure on the gold price. It is expected that precious metals may show a trend of first decline and then rise, and attention can be paid to the support at the $4,000 level for overseas gold and the RMB 900 level for domestic gold [3][26]. 3. Summary by Directory 3.1 Market Review - **Weekly Trend**: No specific text description of the weekly trend is provided, only a chart of the US dollar index linkage is mentioned [7]. - **Indicator Changes**: From September 30th to October 10th, COMEX gold increased by 3.80% from $3,887.60 to $4,035.50, COMEX silver increased by 1.44% from $46.84 to $47.52, SHFE gold futures increased by 3.11% from 874.40 to 901.56, and SHFE silver futures increased by 1.50% from 10,918.00 to 11,082.00.

The SPDR gold ETF increased by 4.28, and the iShare gold ETF increased by 3.69 [8]. 3.2 Escalation of Trade Frictions and Rising Safe - Haven Demand - During the National Day holiday, international gold prices rose continuously, and after the holiday, the prices remained strong. On Friday night, due to Trump's statement about imposing tariffs on China, market避险情绪 quickly rose. However, the gold price showed a fluctuating upward trend rather than a one - sided increase, mainly because the general decline of global assets led to short - term liquidity problems and put pressure on the gold price [10]. - The expectation of Sino - US trade frictions rapidly escalated last Friday night, causing the market panic to spread quickly and the US stock market to decline significantly [12]. 3.3 Tracking of Other Indicators - According to the data on September 23rd, compared with the previous week, the long - position change was 6,030 contracts, the short - position change was 5,691 contracts, and the net long - position change was 339 contracts. This indicator is more sensitive to the price trend of precious metals than gold ETFs, but its update frequency is low and timeliness is poor [14]. - Last week, the ETF holdings changed little. Due to the rising避险情绪 last week, the increase of gold was greater than that of silver, and the gold - silver ratio continued to rise. Also, last Friday, due to the escalating expectation of Sino - US trade frictions, the 10 - year US Treasury yield declined significantly, and the 10 - 2 year spread narrowed [16][20][22]. 3.4 Conclusion - The strong performance of gold prices is due to the resonance of three factors: surging避险需求, expectations of monetary policy, and structural inflow of funds. Sino - US trade frictions are beneficial for precious metals, and gold may continue to outperform silver. Precious metals are expected to show a trend of first decline and then rise, and attention can be paid to the support at the $4,000 level for overseas gold and the RMB 900 level for domestic gold [3][26].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating - No information provided regarding the report industry investment rating 2. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Gold is expected to have a long - term upward trend, with short - term and medium - term increases and an intraday view of being oscillating strongly. The core logic is the start of interest rate cuts, intensified geopolitical situations, and the continuation of the upward trend in the medium and long term [1][3] - Copper is also expected to have a long - term upward trend, with short - term, medium - term, and intraday increases. The reason is the macro - loose background, renewed disturbances at the mine end, and a rapid increase in capital attention [1][5] 3. Summary by Variety Gold - **Price Performance**: Yesterday, gold prices rose and then fell. New York gold and London gold both fell below the $4000 mark, and Shanghai gold dropped to the 900 - yuan mark. During the National Day holiday, international gold prices rose continuously. New York gold futures and London gold broke through the $4000/ounce psychological barrier, with a holiday increase of over 4% and a year - to - date increase of over 50% [3] - **Core Logic**: The short - term decline is due to the cease - fire agreement between Israel and Hamas, which cooled geopolitical tensions, and the strong willingness of short - term bulls to close positions after a large previous increase. The strong performance of gold prices is driven by three factors: a surge in hedging demand, expectations of monetary policy, and a structural influx of funds [3] - **Technical Analysis**: Continuously monitor the long - short game of overseas gold prices at $4000, corresponding to the 900 - yuan mark in China [3] Copper - **Price Performance**: Yesterday, copper prices rose and then fell. During the National Day, the LME copper price broke through $10500 and reached $10800, hitting a new high for the year [5] - **Core Logic**: The short - term decline is affected by the fall of precious metals and strong technical pressure at a nearly 5 - year high. The strong rise is caused by three factors: supply shortages, macro and financial attributes, and demand resilience [5] - **Technical Analysis**: Continuously monitor the pressure at the $11000 mark for overseas LME copper and the high in May 2024 for domestic copper [5]

Group 1: Report Industry Investment Ratings - No industry investment ratings are provided in the report. Group 2: Core Views of the Report - Gold is expected to have a long - term upward trend, with short - term and medium - term increases and an intraday view of being oscillating strongly, driven by the start of interest rate cuts and intensified geopolitical situations [1][3] - Copper is expected to maintain a long - term upward trend, with short - term, medium - term and intraday increases, due to a macro - loose background, renewed mining end disturbances and a rapid rise in capital attention [1][5] Group 3: Summaries by Related Catalogs Gold - **Price Performance**: During the 2025 National Day holiday (October 1 - 8), international gold prices continuously rose. New York gold futures and London gold broke through the $4000/ounce key psychological level, with a holiday increase of over 4% and a year - to - date increase of over 50% [3] - **Core Driving Factors**: There are three main driving factors. Firstly, the surge in避险需求 is dominated by government shutdown and geopolitical conflicts. The US federal government shutdown since October 1 has raised concerns about US fiscal sustainability and debt credit, and historical data shows that gold has positive returns when the government shutdown exceeds 10 days. Geopolitical events such as the Russia - Ukraine conflict, Middle - East conflicts, Japanese political changes and French prime minister's resignation have also weakened sovereign currency confidence. Secondly, in terms of monetary policy expectations, interest rate cut trading and damaged US dollar credit are at play. Trump's interference in the Fed's independence and rising US debt risks have accelerated the "de - dollarization" trend. Thirdly, there is a structural influx of funds, with central banks and ETFs buying gold together, and the global central bank net gold - buying wave continues [3] Copper - **Price Performance**: During the National Day holiday, the London Metal Exchange (LME) copper price broke through $10500 and reached $10800, hitting a new high for the year [5] - **Core Driving Factors**: There are three main factors. Supply is tight due to double squeezes at the mining and smelting ends. The major accident at the Grasberg copper mine in Indonesia and previous production cuts in Chilean copper mines have tightened the global copper concentrate supply. From a macro and financial perspective, there are expectations of Fed interest rate cuts and a weakening US dollar. The Fed cut interest rates in September, and further cuts are expected, which will boost market risk sentiment and may weaken the US dollar, benefiting copper prices. There is also a link between risk - aversion sentiment and the sector. The US government shutdown and global geopolitical turmoil have driven up the gold price, which has a positive impact on copper. On the demand side, there is demand resilience. In the domestic "Golden September and Silver October" traditional peak season, the copper product industry's operating rate has rebounded, and grid investment, air - conditioning and motor industries have stable demand. In the long - term, global energy transformation, especially AI computing center construction and grid investment, strongly supports copper demand [5]
