Citic Securities has released a report indicating that the global trend of central banks purchasing gold remains structurally resilient. According to Jin10, the market may be overestimating the driving forces and impact mechanisms behind this trend. The report outlines several key points: 1) The proportion of non-standard channels and domestic storage in gold purchases is rising, reflecting the strengthened attribute of gold as a 'sovereign safe asset.' 2) The current wave of gold buying goes beyond conventional reserve management and should not be directly equated with de-dollarization. The primary logic for central banks holding gold remains crisis hedging and reserve diversification. 3) Recent disturbances, such as temporary reductions by central banks in Turkey and Russia due to fiscal pressures, are tactical and do not alter the global net buying pattern. 4) Central bank gold purchases are a long-term force elevating the gold price center, but their behavior of buying on dips means they play more of a supporting role. Variables like real interest rates have a more significant impact on gold prices. 5) The gap in gold reserve proportions between emerging market central banks and developed countries is substantial, indicating that the current cycle of central bank gold purchases is far from over. Citic Securities is optimistic about medium to long-term allocation opportunities but advises monitoring signals of weakened correlation between gold and risk assets in the short term as a key entry point for buying on dips.

On April 13, Jin10 reported that a research note from CITIC Securities highlighted the significant rise in U.S. overall inflation for March, driven by soaring oil prices, while core inflation remained moderate. According to Jin10, CITIC Securities anticipates minimal risk of secondary inflation in the U.S. and suggests that April's CPI may continue to show elevated growth due to compensatory increases in rental inflation. If oil prices decline slowly, U.S. CPI could remain above 3% year-on-year for the rest of the year. CITIC Securities also forecasts a 25 basis point rate cut by the Federal Reserve within the year, which may lead to a weaker U.S. dollar in the near term. This scenario could create liquidity-driven recovery opportunities for gold prices. Additionally, U.S. equities might benefit from improved risk appetite, while U.S. Treasury yields may lack sufficient downward momentum due to economic fundamentals.

According to Jin10, a report by China International Capital Corporation (CICC) suggests that after the short-term factors boosting the dollar fade, the narrative of global currency order restructuring and the weakening of dollar hegemony may once again dominate market direction. The United States' continuous accumulation of net external debt increases its need for dollar depreciation. The uncertainty surrounding U.S. President Donald Trump's policies and the unresolved risks of dollar 'weaponization' also dampen market demand for U.S. assets. The new Federal Reserve Chair, Walsh, advocates for a 'balance sheet reduction' policy, which could objectively help restore the dollar's credibility if implemented. However, Walsh's policy is constrained by the resilience of the real economy and financial markets, as well as political limitations. Additionally, Trump's foreign, trade, and economic policies continue to negatively impact the dollar's credibility. Considering the overall impact of Walsh and Trump's policies, it is difficult to conclude that the dollar's credibility will improve in the future. We anticipate that the global currency order may continue to restructure, driving the dollar to maintain a long-term depreciation trend.
