央行季节性购买： 在经历平静的夏季后(8月央行购买仅21吨)，央行购买在9月和10月可能出现季节性回升，这与往年夏季后的加速模式一致。 尽管本周黄金价格一度累跌超8%，但高盛依然保持坚定的看涨立场。 追风交易台消息，10月22日，高盛分析师Lina Thomas和Daan Struyven发表研报，重申其2026年底4900美元/盎司的目标价，并强调这一预测甚至 存在"上行风险"。 高盛认为，当前的抛售主要是由投机性头寸平仓和白银市场的溢出效应导致，并非基本面恶化。真正的"聪明钱"，包括各国央行、超高净值人士 和长期资产配置机构在内的结构性买盘仍在持续流入。 高盛进一步强调由于大型机构投资者配置需求的苏醒，4900美元/盎司的目标价甚至存在"上行风险"。周三现货黄金一度跌至4000美元关口上方， 但随后受支撑反弹。 （周三现货黄金4000美元上方宽幅震荡） 结构性买盘支撑金价上涨逻辑 与投机性资金的快进快出形成鲜明对比，高盛强调，支撑金价长期走牛的"粘性"（sticky）结构性需求在9月至10月期间依然强劲。 高盛指出，这些"粘性"资金流主要来自： 在美联储降息预期和投资组合多元化需求的双重驱动下，黄金ETF ...
