长期以来，美元一直是全球货币体系的主导力量，尽管日本在二战后凭借经济复苏取得了显著成就，其 外汇储备地位逐步上升。然而，随着日本经济泡沫的崩溃，日元未能真正取代美元的地位，始终未能撼 动其霸主地位。 进入21世纪，中国经济崛起的速度之快，令世界瞩目。中国如今已成为全球第二大经 济体，人民币的国际地位也日益上升。然而，最近的国际局势变化，对美元霸权体系形成了不小的冲 击。美元、欧元、卢布的激烈角逐，让人不禁思考，在这场乱局中，人民币是否能脱颖而出，赢得最后 的胜利？ 20世纪70年代末，第4次中东战争爆发，石油输出国组织(OPEC)通过统一减产及大幅提价，直接让西方 工业国家陷入经济困境，也让世界认识到石油在全球经济中的重要性。此时，美元不再依赖黄金，而是 与石油建立了紧密联系，逐渐与沙特等石油输出国达成一致，石油交易以美元结算。这一安排为美元再 次加固了霸权地位。 掌控石油的交易体系，意味着掌控了全球经济的命脉。在石油美元体系下，美元 的霸主地位得到了进一步巩固，这一体系依然是全球经济运行的重要支柱。 **三、美元的特权与挑战** 对于美国来说，拥有美元霸权不仅仅意味着全球经济的主导地位，更意味 着巨额的铸币 ...

2月7日，国家外汇管理局统计公布数据显示，截至2026年1月末，我国外汇储备规模为33991亿美元，较 2025年12月末上升412亿美元，升幅为1.23%。同期央行数据显示，1月末黄金储备为7419万盎司，较上 月末增加4万盎司。 黄金储备方面，2026年1月末官方黄金储备连续第十五个月增加，但增量连续第十一个月处于低位，符 合市场预期。伴随全球地缘政治风险居高不下，以及美联储持续降息，1月国际金价延续快速上涨势 头，这是当月央行增持黄金规模继续处于偏低水平的一个原因。 王青认为，近期央行在国际金价持续大幅上涨、屡创历史新高过程中持续小幅增持黄金，释放了优化国 际储备的信号。从优化国际储备结构、稳慎扎实推进人民币国际化以及应对当前国际环境变化等角度出 发，接下来央行增持黄金仍是大方向，近期国际金价大幅波动对央行增持黄金的影响有限。 图片来源：视觉中国 来源：北京日报客户端 记者：潘福达 2026年1月末外储规模上升，环比上升幅度为2024年1月以来最高。东方金诚首席宏观分析师王青对此解 读表示，这主要受当月美元指数下跌和全球金融资产价格总体上涨双重驱动。受美国司法部对美联储主 席鲍威尔发起刑事调查，美国政府 ...
