在当前的市场环境下，国际金价大概率将保持高位震荡。若全球经济出现明显放缓，美联储以更大的幅 度降息，或者地缘政治风险加剧，国际金价或将迎来更强的上行动力。如果在特朗普政府关税政策影响 下，通胀再度走高，作为抗通胀资产的黄金有望迎来助力。但与此同时，需要注意的是，通胀走高可能 会促使美联储收紧货币政策，伴随着美元走强，这将在一定程度上打压国际金价。 总体而言，当前的地缘政治环境以及利率环境对国际黄金市场的影响是积极的。摩根士丹利预计，到今 年第四季度，黄金价格将达到4800美元/盎司的新高。不过，由于全球经济金融环境瞬息万变，未来国 际金价是否还能维持上扬走势，还需要谨慎观察，根据具体情况而定。 在2025年12月的货币政策会议上，美联储理事米兰投下反对票，反对降息25个基点。他认为美联储应该 一次性降息50个基点。进入2026年，一直坚持要更大幅度降息的美联储理事米兰，继续保持其"鸽"派态 度。米兰日前表示，数据趋势可能支持进一步降息。美联储2026年的降息幅度累计应该超过100个基 点。美联储目前的货币政策是限制性的，正在拖累美国经济。不过，根据早前的计划，作为临时理事的 米兰，其任期将在今年1月结束。 相 ...
