当特朗普与美联储主席鲍威尔头戴白色安全帽，巡视美联储建筑翻新工地时，两人立即就央行大楼改造费用争执不休。鲍威尔摇头反驳特朗普所谓25亿美元预算已膨胀至31亿美元的说法时，特朗普从西装内袋掏出一张纸递给对方。鲍威尔戴上眼镜细看后纠正道：“您刚加进了第三栋楼，总统先生”，他指的是美联储2021年已完成翻新的相邻办公楼。“美联储传声筒”Nick Timiraos评论称，特朗普罕见造访美联储，正体现了他标志性的执政表演艺术。对这位靠炫目房地产项目和真人秀建立个人品牌的总统而言，此次视察提供了绝佳电视画面，将他8年前亲自提名执掌央行的鲍威尔，塑造成管理25亿美元超标项目的无能官僚。投行Stifel华盛顿政策策略师Brian Gardner称，这场表演允许特朗普在一个引起其基本盘反建制情绪的问题上采取攻势，同时转移人们对其他争议的注意力，包括对其政府处理爱泼斯坦案文件的批评。外汇交易员 (@myfxtrader):日程显示，特朗普将在周四访问美联储。美国历史上只有三位总统参观过美联储，分别是罗斯福、福特和小布什。 https://t.co/kvAM9sjtmO ...

东方金诚期货：预计金价将维持高位震荡格局 东方金诚期货在周报中称，美联储独立性扰动市场情绪，上周金价在震荡中小幅回调。本周金价料将延 续高位震荡。一方面，随着美国贸易谈判期限临近，而美国与欧盟等重要贸易伙伴国的谈判前景仍不明 朗，避险情绪回温将对金价构成支撑。但另一方面，美国6月CPI印证关税影响开始显现，未来关税影 响还将进一步扩大，通胀风险将打压美联储年内降息预期，令金价承压。整体上看，预计本周金价将维 持高位震荡格局。 信达期货研报指出，美元走软与贸易风险持续仍为金价提供弹性支撑。但从目前整体市场表现来看，投 资者对政策层面扰动的敏感度已明显减弱，避险驱动带来的涨幅不及前期，显示出当前黄金并无强势单 一推动力，整体驱动多元化。同时，美联储内部对货币政策前景存在分歧，降息路径不确定性未解，政 策连贯性受到政治因素干扰，金融属性仍构成扰动但难以主导走势。中长期来看，美国财政赤字、信用 风险与全球债务问题仍是金价的重要支撑基础，黄金的货币属性逻辑持续稳固。策略上，建议维持日内 逢低做多的滚动操作思路，继续关注每轮调整后的多头布局机会。 方正中期期货策略日报观点认为，预计未来市场对美联储独立性的担忧仍将反复发酵 ...
