高盛警告，虽然白银同样受益于私人投资流入，但由于缺乏央行结构性购买支撑，其价格波动性显著高于黄金，即使投资资金小幅撤离也可能引 发白银价格的大幅调整。 据追风交易台消息，高盛在10月12日的报告中表示，随着美联储降息吸引资金流入，白银中期走势仍有望进一步上涨，但短期内面临的波动性和 下行风险远超黄金。 分析师表示，白银市场流动性较差且规模仅为黄金市场的九分之一，这放大了价格波动幅度。且白银是唯一缺乏央行结构性买盘支撑的大宗商 品，任何投资流入的暂时回落都可能引发不成比例的价格修正。 高盛估算，1000吨白银流入通常推动银价上涨约1.6%。由于白银市场规模较小且流动性不足，相同规模的资金流动对银价的影响被显著放大。 伦敦市场流动性紧张加剧涨势 高盛指出，近期白银价格飙升部分源于伦敦市场的流动性紧张局面。今年早些时候由于对美国潜在关税的担忧，大量白银被运往美国，导致作为 全球白银交易中心的伦敦库存降至低位。 私人投资驱动贵金属联动 高盛表示，白银和黄金价格通常相互关联，因为两者的主要驱动力——私人投资流入都呈同步变动趋势。这种联动性历史上将金银价格比维持在 45-80的宽幅区间内。 然而自2022年以来，随着央行 ...
