Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. Core View of the Report - Tariff disputes have resurfaced, the Fed's continuous interest rate cut expectations are high, and the US government shutdown has led to a significant increase in gold and silver prices. The global stock market remains strong, and silver prices are still supported overall. International silver has broken through the historical high, and there may be short - term pressure. The market is concerned about the APEC summit at the end of the month and the possibility of China - US trade negotiations. The market's expectation of two interest rate cuts within the year is firm, and gold and silver prices continue to rise. The geopolitical friction continues, and there is internal political turmoil in many countries, but gold and silver prices rise together with the US dollar. The upward trend of gold and silver remains unchanged, and the operation of buying on dips is maintained [27][62]. Summary by Directory 1. Market Review - Tariff disputes have caused market concerns to rise and then fall, domestic risk appetite remains low, and gold and silver prices have risen significantly. The Fed restarted interest rate cuts as expected, and the market's expectation of continuous interest rate cuts is high, driving up gold and silver prices.

The stock market and bonds show different reactions, both of which push up gold and silver prices. Geopolitical frictions continue, and there is internal political turmoil in many countries, but gold and silver prices rise together with the US dollar [27]. 2. Logic Analysis - **Tariff Factor**: On the early morning of October 11th, Trump posted that he would impose a 100% tariff on Chinese products exported to the US starting from November 1st (or earlier), and implement export controls on all key software.

The APEC summit will be held in South Korea before November 1st, and Trump hopes for a key China - US meeting during the summit [28]. - **Interest Rate Factor**: The Fed restarted interest rate cuts, but the Fed's statement and Powell's speech were not as dovish as the market expected. However, the market's optimistic expectation of continuous interest rate cuts is high. The market's expectation of two interest rate cuts within the year is firm. The latest "dot - plot" shows that 12 out of 19 FOMC members expect at least one more interest rate cut this year, releasing a stronger dovish signal than expected [27][41]. - **Economic Data Factor**: The US government shutdown has led to the delay of economic data release. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics significantly revised down last year's employment data, increasing economic concerns. The market shows a split, with bonds reflecting economic concerns and the stock market reflecting optimistic expectations of interest rate cuts, both of which are factors pushing up gold and silver prices [27]. 3.

The short - squeeze in the London silver market is expected to improve within 1 - 2 weeks, and there is still short - term price support, but the premium of London silver over New York is starting to converge, and the pressure in the London market may be alleviated [61].

1. Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant information provided. 2. Core View of the Report - After the Fed's 25 - basis - point interest rate cut, the short - term realization effect of gold and silver prices has passed, and they are back in a bull market. The logic supporting the medium - and long - term rise in gold prices remains unchanged, and they are expected to reach new highs in the future. Silver has greater price elasticity [2][3][6]. - Although Fed Chairman Powell's speech was slightly hawkish, it actually left room for further interest rate cuts. The dot - plot shows a cumulative 75 - basis - point interest rate cut this year, in line with market expectations. There is a high probability that the interest rate cut process will accelerate next year [3][4]. 3. Summary by Related Content Fed Interest Rate Cut Situation - Last week, the Fed cut interest rates by 25 basis points as expected, bringing the federal funds rate to between 4.00% - 4.25%. This is the first interest rate cut since December 2024. The cut occurred when the economy was not in recession but the risk was rising [2]. - Fed Chairman Powell said the US job market showed signs of weakness, with slower new job creation and a nascent rise in the unemployment rate. However, the current inflation level in the US remains stubborn, and there is still pressure on "core inflation" in the service industry [2]. Market Reaction to Interest Rate Cut - After the interest rate cut was announced, the gold price briefly corrected, a classic "buy the rumor, sell the fact" market performance. But on Friday, the bulls returned, and the prices almost recovered their losses [3]. Reasons for Future Interest Rate Cuts - Trump values the reduction of the US interest burden after interest rate cuts. With $37 trillion in US debt, $9 trillion is foreign debt. Interest rate cuts also reduce manufacturing costs, benefit the real estate industry, and support the US stock market, so Trump will continue to push for interest rate cuts [4]. - There is a high probability that the new Fed Chairman after Powell's departure in May next year will support Trump's interest - rate - cut tendency, accelerating the interest - rate - cut process [3][4]. Outlook for Gold and Silver Prices - In the medium and long term, there is a high certainty that the US federal funds rate will drop to around 3%, and the process of slow interest rate cuts will lead to a gradual rise in gold and silver prices [5]. - After the short - term realization effect, gold and silver prices are regaining their upward momentum and are expected to reach new highs in the future. Silver has greater price elasticity [6].
