- 06:51CICC: Gold prices expected to rise to $4,500 per ounce next year, with cyclical demand yet to peakJinse Finance reported that a research report from China International Capital Corporation (CICC) indicated that, unlike the past three years, the current precious metals rally is mainly driven by cyclical demand for gold, while the price increase of silver has surpassed that of gold. Looking ahead to 2026, the bank believes that cyclical demand and structural trends are expected to continue driving the upward trend in gold and silver prices. In the baseline scenario, the bank expects the COMEX gold price to rise to $4,500 per ounce by 2026, and the silver price to reach $55 per ounce, suggesting there is still room for further gains compared to current levels. The bank believes that cyclical investment demand for precious metals has not yet peaked, as U.S. monetary policy may turn accommodative in the short term, while the risk of long-term inflation expectations becoming unanchored may persist. On the other hand, under the new macroeconomic order, the unique allocation value of physical gold and the strategic resource attributes of silver will become increasingly prominent, providing structural support for global central bank gold purchases, private physical investment, and regional inventory accumulation.

- 06:43Ant Group Chairman Jing Xiandong: Blockchain smart contracts can solve the issue of fair distribution of agent revenuesJinse Finance reported, citing Caixin, that Ant Group Chairman Jing Xiandong pointed out that the future model of financial services will present itself as a layered and collaborative agent structure. When multiple agents jointly execute tasks, the real challenge lies in how to fairly distribute the proceeds according to the actual contribution of each agent. Blockchain-based smart contracts offer a feasible solution to this problem, and in the future, infrastructures such as digital RMB could even be leveraged to achieve this. When the system frontend receives revenue from a service, it can automatically and transparently distribute the proceeds to each participating agent through smart contracts.
