国际金价如坐"过山车"，这是怎么了？ 消息面上，美国发起的贸易战又有升温迹象，黄金作为避险资产已应声上涨。周日，美国财政部长斯科 特・贝森特表示，若各国在90天关税暂停期内未达成贸易协议，关税税率将很快恢复至"对等"水平。贝 森特透露，美国正重点与18个"重要"贸易伙伴敲定协议，但未说明关税恢复"对等"税率的具体速度。 影响国际金价走势的另一个因素是，周末穆迪将美国信用评级下调，增加了市场的担忧情绪。国际信用 评级机构穆迪公司16日宣布，由于美国政府债务及利息支出增加，该机构决定将美国主权信用评级从 Aaa下调至Aa1，同时将其评级展望从"负面"调整为"稳定"。 穆迪当日发布公告说，评级下调反映出过去十多年来美国政府债务和利息支付比例升至显著高于拥有类 似评级国家的水平。穆迪认为，持续的大规模财政赤字将进一步推高政府债务和利息支出负担。与美国 以往以及其他高评级主权国家相比，美国财政状况很可能会恶化。 世界黄金协会发布的数据显示，今年第一季度，全球央行净购入黄金243.7吨，购金力度较上一季度 （365吨）已显著下调。国际投行对于黄金预期也出现了分化。 短短一个月，国际金价从历史高点3500美元/盎司下跌了近 ...

关于中方究竟是否会"解禁"稀土出口这个问题，商务部新闻发言人何咏前表示，鉴于美方根据中美经贸高层会谈共识， 撤销暂停或调整有关对华加征关税，中方相应调整有关关税和非关税对美反制措施。不过，中方在近期依然在就稀土出 口进行合理管控。比如就在9日，中方在深圳举办了打击战略矿产走私出口专项行动现场会；12号，中方在长沙举办了加 强战略矿产出口全链条管控工作部署会。显然，中方对稀土出口的管控有可能在近期不会出现太大的变化，那么这又是 为什么呢？ 这代表美国对中国发起的全面贸易战、关税战第一阶段失败后，转向在科技与芯片领域试图用"长臂管辖"重点进攻。问 题是，美国这次的"长臂管辖"也太长了。禁止全球使用华为芯片，甚至禁止中国企业在中国使用中国制造的先进芯片！ 美方为这条荒谬规定找到的理由是，华为的昇腾芯片过于先进，很可能是采用了某些美国软件或技术设计的，或很可能 由含有美国程序或技术的半导体制造设备制造。可笑的是，美国没有证据，纯靠猜测，就要给华为昇腾芯片"判死刑"。 事实上，长期以来，美国内部的对华鹰派就一直将中国半导体企业作为打击目标，同时也颁布了多种制裁措施来限制尖 端芯片对华出口，而这些做法其背后的真实意图无疑 ...
