CICC's research report points out that looking ahead to 2025, gold prices may still be in a bull market channel, with the potential to break through USD 3,000 per ounce in 2025, and the RMB gold price may achieve a greater increase compared to the USD gold price. From Q1 2024 to Q3 2024, as cost increases slow and gold prices rise further, pre-tax profit per ounce is expected to stabilize and rebound, increasing from USD 692 to USD 1,019.
