Spot Market:

The current late-day trend of futures prices is likely to test the previous low of the main continuation, with a relatively strong bearish bias, which is also affecting the sentiment in the spot market. Due to a slight surge in the evening session, spot market quotations saw a slight correction at high levels in some areas this morning, but fell back in the afternoon. Quotations from manufacturers and intermediaries are currently volatile, and trading volume has not seen a significant improvement. Orders are still primarily placed at low points. Furthermore, there is currently no guidance from policies or news, and the golden September and silver October market is no longer in place.
