Domestic Shanghai gold and silver futures prices both rose by more than 2%, indicating a significant recovery in market bullish sentiment. 1.

She explained that the simultaneous weakening of geopolitical and macroeconomic negative factors has laid a solid foundation for the rebound in gold and silver prices. On the one hand, the Strait of Hormuz signaled a peace talks, and the decline in oil prices eased upward pressure on US inflation, reducing the impact of geopolitical conflicts on the market. On the other hand, US non-farm payrolls and ADP employment data for July were all weak, with non-farm payrolls significantly lower than expected, cooling expectations for a Fed rate hike and pushing down the dollar and US Treasury yields, easing valuation pressures on precious metals. 2. Looking ahead, analysts generally believe that the short-term fluctuation and medium-to-long-term upward trend in gold and silver prices remains unchanged. Bai Suna stated that the logic of a medium-to-long-term upward trend in gold and silver prices remains unchanged. With factors such as the gradual decline in US inflation, the continued weakening of negative macroeconomic factors, limited upside potential for US Treasury real interest rates, and the ongoing global de-dollarization process, the gold bull market is expected to continue. Overall, gold and silver prices are currently at a cyclical bottom, and market volatility is high. Investors are advised to closely monitor three core variables: geopolitical tensions, inflation data, and Federal Reserve policy, avoid blindly chasing the market higher, and manage their positions prudently.August 11th - According to sources familiar with the matter, Intel (INTC.O) is seeking to expand its stock offering to approximately $20 billion, a third higher than the $15 billion target set when it announced the deal Monday morning.
