Guotai Junan: The long-term incremental "option" brought by humanoid robots is expected to help the valuation of the rare earth sector rise. When looking forward to the strategy of the rare earth sector in 2025, Guotai Junan said that the market had expected that with the slowdown in the growth of core demand power such as new energy vehicles and wind power in the future, the demand for rare earth markets is under downward pressure. However, we expect that the rising consumption of magnetic materials for new energy vehicles and the warming demand for wind power are still expected to support the basic demand growth, and the demand for equipment renewal that began to land in 2024 is expected to become a new driving force for rare earth demand. On the supply side, an orderly pattern of domestic supply has been established, with many overseas planning increments but slow actual volume, and continuous supply-side constraints. In addition, the long-term incremental "options" brought by humanoid robots are also expected to help the valuation of the plate rise.World Gold Council: The price of gold is expected to hit its best annual performance in more than 10 years. It is expected that there will be a positive but moderate growth next year. According to the report of the World Gold Council, the price of gold is expected to hit its best annual performance in more than 10 years, with an increase of 28% as of November. Behind this, the purchases of the central bank and investors offset the significant slowdown in consumer demand. Looking ahead, all eyes are focused on the impact of Trump's second term on the global economy. The current forecast of GDP, yield and inflation shows that gold will have a positive but much more moderate growth in 2025. The upward trend may benefit from a sharp drop in interest rates, an increase in volatility, or the continuous higher-than-average demand for gold by the central bank. On the contrary, higher long-term interest rates or weak demand for gold consumption may bring headwinds.Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province: If you buy a new commodity house, you can withdraw the provident fund under your own name and your spouse's name to pay the down payment.
