面对迈入第二个年头的特朗普2.0时代，德国人的焦虑，从未像现在这样真实。 《柏林日报》提到，在香港赤鱲角机场的一角，一项低调但战略意义巨大的工程，正在不动声色地推进之中。 看到各国央行都在抛售美元美债，德国媒体很焦虑：中国都开始自建金库了，我们还敢把黄金继续存在美国吗？ 有关注国际黄金走势的投资者应该都知道，在过去短短一年时间里，国际金价已经疯狂飙升70%。 这一年，全球央行都在做同一件事：抛美债，买黄金。 但在这一轮"去美元化"的狂潮中，德媒《柏林日报》注意到，中国正在香港紧锣密鼓地建设世界级的黄金金库和清算中心，将贵重金属紧握在自己手中。 而与此同时，作为全球第二大黄金储备国的德国，却有超过1200吨的黄金储备，依然躺在纽约的地下金库里。 中国工行正在这里建设一个庞大的贵金属储藏中心。根据最新的规划，这个金库将在几个月内正式投入运营。 但这仅仅是第一步。 香港特区政府已经计划，在2026年启动一个中央黄金清算系统的试运行。香港财政司司长陈茂波已经放出风声，他们将邀请上海黄金交易所参与其中。 长期以来，全球黄金交易的定价权和清算权，都高度集中在两个西方城市：伦敦和纽约。 但现在，通过建立自己的实物金库和清算 ...

连续14个月的减持，中方的动作让美国撑不住了。 2026年1月的最新数据却是让华盛顿沸腾了：中国持有的美国国债规模已降至6826亿美元，创下自2008 年金融危机以来的最低水平。这已经是中国连续第14个月减持美国国债。 与这一趋势相呼应的是中国黄金储备的持续增加，截至2025年12月末，中国黄金储备达到7415万盎司， 实现了连续第14个月的增持。 中国持有美国国债的金额从14个月前的逾9000亿美元一路下滑，至今已减少了近10%。这种"逐步但不 均匀"的减持趋势，与全球其他国家形成了鲜明对比。 而就在中国减持的同时，2025年11月份，美国国债的外资持有总量却增加了1128亿美元，达到了创纪录 的9.36万亿美元。日本、英国、加拿大、挪威和沙特等国都在当月增加了美债持仓。 不过，虽然看似中国的减持动作明显，但实际并非简单的投资调整，而是一项战略决策。简单来说，美 国巨额债务积累类似于庞氏骗局，用更大规模的新债替换旧债。而中国不想再玩这个游戏了。 那中国为何选择在此时行动？ 实际上，这一决策与特朗普政府可能将美联储政治化的前景密切相关。特朗普可能很快宣布下一任美联 储主席人选，而他的任命者"无疑会对他更顺从" ...

来源：钛媒体 上周，美元资产交易员亲历了一场典型的"特朗普式"市场震荡。这场波动的导火索，源于特朗普就格陵 兰岛相关问题向欧洲盟友发出关税威胁——这一举措被市场解读为将贸易工具推向极度"武器化"的边 缘，且直接触及"国家安全与主权"这一敏感议题。受此影响，美股、美债与美元一度同步走低，而黄 金、白银等避险资产顺势走强，分析师将这一市场反应定义为"美元信用破裂交易"的再度上演。 几乎在同一时期，日本政坛的动荡为其带来了另一记重创。日本首相高市早苗宣布提前解散众议院，并 提出包含消费税减免在内的扩张性财政方案，这一举措引发市场对日本财政可持续性以及日债供需结构 的深度担忧，日本长端国债随即遭遇大规模抛售。 业内人士表示：一方面，特朗普的对欧政策动摇了全球市场对美元资产赖以支撑的"美国信用"与"政策 可预测性"的根基；另一方面，日本政坛动荡与财政政策调整，冲击了以日元为核心融资货币的全球套 息交易链条，进而引发市场对全球流动性紧缩的广泛担忧。 "抛售美国"与多元化配置成主流 美元信用与流动性的双重疑虑，直接触发了全球资产配置的新一轮再平衡。去年4月特朗普宣布"解放 日"关税后，曾引发广泛讨论的"抛售美国"交易再度升 ...
