On August 21, local time, international precious metals futures generally closed higher. COMEX gold futures rose 1.97% to 4661.60 US dollars/ounce, with a cumulative increase of 5.05% this week. COMEX silver futures rose 1.33% to $69.01 per ounce, with a cumulative increase of 5.99% this week. The Federal Reserve recently adjusted its communication strategy and began reducing clear guidance on future policy paths, and instead adopted a more vague monetary policy stance, amplifying precious metals fluctuations. Furthermore, the size of US debt continues to expand; it has already exceeded 40 trillion US dollars, annual interest expenses have exceeded 1 trillion US dollars, and market concerns about the US debt burden continue to heat up. This further raised the market's expectations of interest rate cuts, while weakening the US dollar. Demand in the silver industry continued to rise, causing silver to emerge from a strong market due to macroeconomic and fundamental resonance.
