On the news front, yesterday (January 26) spot gold broke through the key psychological barrier of $5,000 per ounce for the first time, marking a historic milestone witnessed by global financial markets. Huaxi Securities pointed out that, influenced by expectations for Federal Reserve interest rate cuts, instability in US dollar credibility, the upcoming US mid-term elections, and geopolitical uncertainties, gold prices are expected to rise further. While the overall market sentiment is bullish on gold's future performance, Dongfang Jincheng notes that short-term caution is warranted against risks of profit-taking by speculative funds, which could lead to increased volatility in gold prices*. Huatai Securities recommends a moderate allocation to the nonferrous metals sector*, suggesting a 10%-20% weighting within one's fund portfolio to both capture the upside potential of nonferrous metals and diversify risk. The underlying index tracked by Huabao Nonferrous Metals ETF (159876) and its feeder fund (017141) encompasses various sub-sectors like precious metals (for hedging), strategic metals (for growth), and industrial metals (for recovery), representing different economic cycles. This comprehensive coverage allows for better capture of the sector's overall beta movements. SDIC Securities indicates that multiple varieties such as gold, silver, tin, and lithium continue to hit record highs, and market pricing for a comprehensive bull market in nonferrous metals is still underway. Currently, the valuation recovery in the nonferrous sector still lags behind the commodity price increases, suggesting attention should be paid to the earnings elasticity of segments like precious metals, industrial metals, and strategic metals. The medium to long-term outlook remains positive for metals including gold, silver, copper, aluminum, tin, rare earths, lithium, tantalum, niobium, antimony, and uranium.*
