受访人：东方金诚首席宏观分析师 王青 高级分析师 冯琳 人民币走势简评： 近日人民币对美元汇价大幅走高，主要由以下因素推动：一是 9 月 24 日央 行宣布降息降准、加大房地产行业政策支持力度。这有效提振了市场信心，是当 日人民币汇价大涨的主要原因。二是 9 月美联储大幅降息，美元指数趋于下行， 也会推动人民币对美元被动升值。最后，7 月以来人民币对美元持续升值，改变 了市场预期，8 月银行代客结汇规模和结汇率都在上升，而银行代额售汇规模和 售汇率显著下降，这在短期内形成了"结售汇平衡好转——人民币升值"循环， 预计 9 月这种状况还在加剧。 展望未来，当前汇市看多情绪较浓，此前积压的结汇需求还会进一步释放， 人民币汇价向上"破 7"后可能还有一定升值空间。 就人民币汇率而言，当前主要受两个因素牵动：一是美元走势，这会造成人 民币对美元汇率被动升值或贬值；二是国内宏观经济走势，决定了人民币内在升 值或贬值动能。 整体上看，美联储启动降息初期，美元指数会面临一定下行压力，特别是在 欧洲央行降息步伐偏缓，日本央行还有可能加息的背景下。这会导致人民币对美 元有被动升值趋势，短期内汇市情绪也会偏于乐观。不过中长期来看 ...
