当前的宏观环境对黄金等贵金属来说，是一场利于上涨的"完美风暴"。 Winhall Risk Analytics与OptionMetrics的撰稿人Brett Friedman指出，许多人将黄金视为"在完美时机出现 的完美投资"，因为它受益于通胀、货币贬值、债务、冲突和社会经济焦虑引发的恐惧和不确定性。他 补充说，对于寻求"灾难保险"的投资者而言，黄金是理想之选。 黄金的强劲涨势仍在继续，其价格在周一创下年内第36个历史新高。 周一，纽约商品交易所12月交割的黄金期货合约结算价上涨69.30美元，涨幅1.9%，至每盎司3775.10美 元，创下主力合约有史以来的最高收盘价。根据道琼斯市场数据，这是黄金价格今年迄今第三十六次刷 新收盘纪录。 今年以来，金价累计涨幅已达约43%，其价值已远超1980年经通胀调整后的高点，这引发了部分投资者 对涨势可能难以为继的担忧。 然而，分析认为，地缘政治不确定性、通胀担忧与降息预期共同构成了驱动金价上行的"完美风暴"，尽 管对泡沫的警惕情绪有所升温，但关键的市场指标尚未显示出恐慌迹象。 "完美风暴"支撑黄金基本面 BullionVault研究总监Adrian Ash将当前的市场 ...

鲍威尔暗示他仍致力于维护年初看似已实现的"软着陆"，即通胀回落但未严重损害就业市场。然而，关 税推高部分商品价格后形成的逆风，可能使美联储偏离轨道。五年前新冠疫情爆发时，美联储实施超常 规刺激且撤出迟缓，导致了2022年通胀显现顽固性后的急速加息。 周三，这位美联储主席重申四年前的承诺：确保任何价格上涨不会持续。"但我们希望高效地实现目标 ——高效地，"他在记者会上表示。过早降息可能迫使美联储后续再度加息，"这很低效"，但等待过久 又可能对就业市场造成不必要伤害。 在第一种经济情境中，鲍威尔引以为豪的4.1%失业率正掩盖劳动力市场加速恶化的风险。"失业率数据 让你对就业市场真实状况产生误判，"复兴宏观研究经济研究主管尼尔·杜塔（Neil Dutta）指出。相比同 等失业率水平的经济体，当前实际想工作却退出劳动力市场的人数异常多，零薪资增长的劳动者比例畸 高，仅半数行业在新增岗位——这一指标处于历史低位。美联储理事沃勒两周前的演讲已警示此类担 忧。 利率制定有时更像艺术而非科学，尤其当经济持续背离预期时——美联储周三直面了这一现实。美国可 能正处在两种经济情境中的任意一种，而美联储官员或许还需数月才能辨明真相： ...

我问你个问题：比特币现在涨得这么猛，你心里踏实吗？ 讲真，我这两天盯着行情，心里直发毛。不是因为它涨，而是因为没人敢说真话了。你去翻翻朋友圈、微博、财经博主的推送，全是一堆 全球共识机构涌入牛市信号这类空话，真有人站出来问一句：这轮上涨，是谁在最后接盘吗？ 我查了下，比特币从年初到涨了快90%，高点冲破7万美元。这涨幅背后发生了什么？美联储的表态说得再明白不过：利率可能年底前降， 但也不急，通胀没稳住呢。那凭什么比特币能这么涨？你说美国机构看好，那我就问你：看好是因为价值，还是因为看准了谁会来接？ 这点从美联储的态度就看得出。鲍威尔在5月的讲话里说：虚拟资产不构成系统性金融风险。我看这话是说给两个对象听的：一是美国散 户，别怕，可以玩；二是全球投资者，放心，不会出事。你觉得一个国家会对自己无法掌控的资产说没风险？那是准备把风险甩出去的时 候。 这事儿，其实不新鲜。我突然想到一个老段子，天珠你听过吗？那玩意儿当年在藏区被炒到上亿，真有人拿房抵押去买，最后掉坑里，收 场的主儿之一还是李亚鹏。你看，文化泡沫都能玩到这种程度，金融泡沫当然也不差。一个虚拟币，连公司主体都没有，靠的就是一个全 球认知游戏，谁信就上车，谁 ...
