高盛在最新报告中重申看涨黄金，预测金价将在2026年12月冲击每盎司4900美元历史新高。该预测主要基于双重驱动：一是结构性需求，即新兴市场央 行为对冲地缘政治风险而持续大幅购金；二是周期性利好，即美联储降息周期将推动ETF资金回流，加剧实物黄金市场的供需紧张。 报告指出，尽管大宗商品指数整体回报可能因能源板块疲软而放缓，但贵金属作为受益于利率下行的资产类别，将在2026年继续跑赢大盘。特别是随 着美国利率下降，此前在2022年至2024年间作为净卖家的ETF投资者已开始回归市场，与央行争夺有限的黄金供应，这种"坚定买家"（央行）与"回归 买家"（ETF）的同步共振是推升价格的关键。 央行购金新常态：地缘政治风险的对冲 高盛在报告中详细阐述了央行购金行为的结构性变化。报告认为，2022年俄罗斯外汇储备被冻结是一个分水岭，彻底改变了新兴市场储备管理者对地 缘政治风险的认知。为了对冲制裁风险和地缘政治不确定性，新兴市场央行正在加速将其储备资产多元化，从美元资产转向黄金。 高盛重申2026年金价看涨至4900美元，央行需求与降息构成双轮驱动。 12月18日，高盛发布研究报告，将"做多黄金"列为核心高确信度交易策略。 ...
