交易所交易基金（ETF）的黄金持仓量攀升至月底峰值，这表明投资者资金的持续流入正在给热得发烫的金价再添一把火。 FXTM高级研究分析师Lukman Otunuga表示："市场押注美联储将在下周降息，这在一定程度上提振了金价。" 无论是按美元价值还是按吨位计算，今年除5月外，ETF持仓量每个月都在上涨。亚洲是11月资金流入的主要推动力，其中中国是增长的最大单一贡献者， 这主要是受到股市疲软和地缘政治紧张局势的驱动。WGC数据显示，印度也已录得连续六个月的净流入。 此外，在截至周四的短短四天内，白银ETF的持仓增量就已经超过了自7月以来任何一个完整周的总和。 自2022年底以来，金价一直稳步上涨，但这股涨势在今年急剧加速。作为避险资产，黄金正迈向1979年以来最好的年度表现，投资者为了规避风险，纷纷撤 离主权债券和货币，转而涌入另类资产。 出于对主要经济体财政赤字的担忧，这种所谓的"货币贬值交易"让贵金属受益匪浅。此外，随着美联储表现出更强的降息意愿，投资者也被黄金吸引，因为 借贷成本降低对黄金这种非收益资产来说是个顺风车。 StoneX Financial Ltd.的市场分析主管Rhona O'Connell表 ...

身在威斯康星州的Christopher Drees对降息表示欢迎，他掌管的Menasha Corporation为众多客户提供包装 解决方案，客户群涵盖大型消费品公司、工业企业以及主要汽车制造商。 虽然Drees希望降息能通过降低车贷和其他借贷成本来惠及部分客户，但关税的不确定性依然存在，尤 其是在最高法院的一项关键挑战可能导致数十项关税被撤销的情况下。 Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. 的首席经济学家Kathy Bostjancic表示："企业暂停招聘并不完全是因为 利率高，更多是因为对关税影响和其他经济政策变化的不确定性而撤回了投资。"她补充道："如果这种 不确定性维持在很高水平，可能会延长滞后效应，并拉长政策传导至经济的时间。" 美联储已将利率较去年的峰值下调了1.5个百分点，目前的降息对富裕美国人的帮助远大于低收入群 体。在此期间，较富裕的家庭受益于股市的大幅反弹，退休储蓄和消费意愿随之增加，而更多中低收入 消费者却因车贷和学生贷款的债务问题而陷入困境。 美联储官员准备在下周再次降息，但对经济的任何提振作用可能都需要比平时更长的时间才能显现，而 且可能会被货币政策无法控制 ...

Core Viewpoint - The next Federal Reserve chair under President Trump faces significant challenges, including navigating a cautious financial market, complex economic indicators, and internal conflicts within the central bank, all while responding to a president advocating for policies that may exacerbate inflation [1][2]. Group 1: Economic Policies and Inflation - Trump proposes a "tariff dividend" of $2,000 cash checks for families earning less than $100,000, reminiscent of Biden's pandemic recovery checks, raising concerns about its potential impact on inflation [1][2]. - The current inflation rate has significantly decreased from its peak but remains high, leading to skepticism about the effectiveness of issuing larger checks in the current economic climate [1][2]. - Trump's insistence on tariffs has already increased prices on various goods, and upcoming trade negotiations with Canada and Mexico may further complicate the inflation landscape [1]. Group 2: Federal Reserve's Challenges - The next Fed chair must balance the need for lower interest rates to support a weak labor market while preventing inflation from rising to dangerous levels, a task complicated by Trump's aggressive push for rate cuts [2][4]. - The Federal Reserve's decision-making body, consisting of 19 members, faces internal divisions, making consensus on interest rate policies challenging [5]. - The credibility of the next Fed chair in combating inflation will be crucial to avoid investor concerns about rising long-term yields [5]. Group 3: Candidates and Their Positions - Kevin Hassett, a leading candidate for Fed chair, is seen as closely aligned with Trump, raising concerns about the potential erosion of the Fed's political independence [2][3]. - Another candidate, Fed Governor Waller, is viewed more favorably by Wall Street investors but has a less intimate relationship with Trump, complicating his ability to navigate conflicting demands [3][4]. - The next chair must provide convincing arguments to the rate-setting committee to justify any significant rate cuts, especially in light of the current economic conditions [4][5].

随着2025年接近尾声，华尔街又到了展望新一年的时刻，阿波罗全球管理公司（Apollo Global Management）的首席经济学家正密切关注市场和经济前景面临的几大关键风险。 在12月4日的报告中，阿波罗全球资本首席经济学家托尔斯滕·斯洛克（Torsten Sløk）带领的团队提出了 2026年投资者应重点关注的五大核心市场风险（包括上行和下行风险）。以下是他重点关注的内容： 1. 美国经济重拾增长动能 斯洛克近期表示，他认为2026年美国经济增长可能会再次加速，因为贸易战风险正在消退，而《大而美 法案》（One Big Beautiful Bill Act，简称OBBBA）有望提振需求。 这一情景下的风险在于，强劲的经济增长将催生新的通胀压力。物价若重新攀升，对市场而言将是不小 的麻烦——因为投资者的看涨逻辑核心是美联储持续降息，而如果通胀再度飙升，美联储降息的意愿将 会大幅下降。 斯洛克认为，市场对AI的乐观情绪可能被高估，2026年AI泡沫或将破裂。他表示，若出现这种情 况，"七巨头"（Magnificent 7）股票可能引发大幅市场回调，同时大型科技巨头的资本支出也会随之减 少。 5. 债券供 ...

据悉，德国总理默茨正在进行最后一搏，试图争取比利时的关键支持，以推动欧盟利用被冻结的俄罗斯 主权资产资助对乌克兰的军事援助。 慕尼黑联邦国防军大学国际关系教授Carlo Masala表示："他正在冒巨大的风险，并为此押上了全部身 家。这表明他对这个问题有多么认真。" 比利时和总部位于布鲁塞尔的欧洲清算银行（持有大部分资产的清算所）已威胁要阻止该计划，除非获 得"坚如磐石的保证"，即其他欧盟国家也将分担任何财务负担或来自莫斯科的报复。 包括法国在内的几个国家不愿为这笔贷款提供国家担保，而一旦欧洲清算银行被要求将资产归还给莫斯 科，这些担保是必须的。欧洲央行已拒绝在这些担保被触发时向欧洲清算银行提供紧急流动性。 默茨将于周五前往布鲁塞尔，与比利时首相德韦弗共进晚餐，后者已成为这项以资产为担保向基辅提供 所谓"赔偿贷款"计划的最大障碍。欧洲官员们正争分夺秒，试图在两周后的峰会领导人辩论之前为该计 划争取到支持。 一位德国政府内部人士表示："这是一场与时间的赛跑。"另一位人士补充道："默茨认为这事儿得靠他 扛过去。" 就在此次会晤几天前，欧盟委员会主席冯德莱恩公布了该贷款的法律提案，其中颇具争议地依赖欧盟条 约中的第 ...

俄罗斯总统普京在开启为期两天的国事访问之际，公开质疑美国施压印度不得购买俄罗斯燃料的做法， 质问既然美国自己能买，为何印度不行。 普京在接受印度广播公司《今日印度》（India Today）采访时发表了上述评论，该节目在他降落新德里 数小时后播出。此次访问期间，两国都在寻求促进相互贸易，并致力于扩大交易结算的商品种类。 "美国自己也在买俄罗斯核燃料" 新德里和莫斯科有着可以追溯到前苏联时期的牢固关系，几十年来，俄罗斯一直是印度主要的武器来 源。尽管莫斯科在2022年2月发动俄乌冲突后受到西方制裁，但印度已逐渐成为俄罗斯海运石油的头号 买家。 然而，由于美国对印度商品征收惩罚性关税以及对俄罗斯制裁的收紧，本月印度的原油进口量预计将创 下三年新低。美国总统特朗普政府声称，印度购买廉价俄罗斯石油有助于资助莫斯科在俄乌冲突中的行 动。 当被问及印度石油购买量是否在西方压力下下降时，普京表示："今年前九个月的总体贸易额确实有一 定的下降，但这只是一个小调整。总体而言，我们的贸易额几乎保持在以前的水平。" 他补充说："石油产品和原油的贸易……俄罗斯石油在印度的交易运转顺畅。" 当被问及印度和俄罗斯应如何应对特朗普及其关税 ...
