Core View The report provides short - term market outlooks for multiple commodities, including precious metals, energy, chemicals, and agricultural products. Most commodities are expected to show short - term oscillatory trends, with the specific direction influenced by factors such as supply - demand relationships, geopolitical situations, and cost changes. Commodity - Specific Summaries Precious Metals - **Silver**: US initial jobless claims are in line with expectations, and there is no sign of an economic downturn. The path of interest rate cuts is uncertain, and silver's downward momentum is limited. It may maintain a high - level oscillation in the medium term [2]. - **Gold**: Signals of a potential peace negotiation in the war have weakened the expectation of the US economy entering a stagflation phase, and the logic for gold's decline has also weakened. Gold may oscillate at a high level in the medium term [10]. Energy - **Crude Oil**: The belligerents are using oil price narratives as a battlefield. The current cease - fire demands of both sides differ greatly. There is a possibility of relaxation in the Strait of Hormuz, but traffic remains low. Short - term cautious operation is recommended, and the medium - term trend depends on the duration of the war [15]. Chemicals - **Methanol**: Domestic methanol production is at a high level, downstream demand has recovered, and port inventories are decreasing. The basis of the port methanol market has strengthened.
