The anticipated Federal Reserve rate cuts are shifting capital preferences across markets [12][14]. - Geopolitical risks, such as tensions in the Middle East, have increased demand for safe-haven assets like silver, although the A-share market has not benefited from this influx of capital due to overall weakness [14][15].
