高盛在最新报告中重申看涨黄金，预测金价将在2026年12月冲击每盎司4900美元历史新高。该预测主要基于双重驱动：一是结构性需求，即新兴市场央 行为对冲地缘政治风险而持续大幅购金；二是周期性利好，即美联储降息周期将推动ETF资金回流，加剧实物黄金市场的供需紧张。 报告指出，尽管大宗商品指数整体回报可能因能源板块疲软而放缓，但贵金属作为受益于利率下行的资产类别，将在2026年继续跑赢大盘。特别是随 着美国利率下降，此前在2022年至2024年间作为净卖家的ETF投资者已开始回归市场，与央行争夺有限的黄金供应，这种"坚定买家"（央行）与"回归 买家"（ETF）的同步共振是推升价格的关键。 央行购金新常态：地缘政治风险的对冲 高盛在报告中详细阐述了央行购金行为的结构性变化。报告认为，2022年俄罗斯外汇储备被冻结是一个分水岭，彻底改变了新兴市场储备管理者对地 缘政治风险的认知。为了对冲制裁风险和地缘政治不确定性，新兴市场央行正在加速将其储备资产多元化，从美元资产转向黄金。 高盛重申2026年金价看涨至4900美元，央行需求与降息构成双轮驱动。 12月18日，高盛发布研究报告，将"做多黄金"列为核心高确信度交易策略。 ...

The overall black sector rebounds due to short - term fundamental improvement and policy support [2] - **Financial Sector**: The market shows short - term oscillation and consolidation, with a continued medium - term upward trend. The high - tech industry continues to grow.

Current iron - water production is decreasing, steel - mill maintenance expectations are increasing, and real - world demand is weak. The implementation of the steel export license management system is a negative factor. Short - term rebounds due to restocking and macro - sentiment are opportunities to enter short positions [2] - **Coal Coke**: Capacity review, safety inspections, and anti - involution policies boost market sentiment, but the change in export policy may lead to a shift in market expectations from supply - side positives to demand - side negatives [2] - **Rolled Steel and Glass**: The government's emphasis on expanding domestic demand and short - term improvement in the steel fundamentals boost the black sector. The implementation of the steel export license management system requires a downward adjustment of next year's steel export expectations.

This week, the expected arrival volume increased significantly. The spot - market price is stable, and the price is expected to oscillate at the bottom [5] - **Pulp**: The spot - market price of pulp is differentiated, and the increase in external - market prices strengthens cost support. However, due to the low profitability of the paper industry and high inventory pressure, demand is weak, and the price may return to an oscillatory state [5] - **Double - Offset Paper**: The spot - market price is stable, and the supply pressure remains. The demand from publication orders provides support, but social - order demand is average, and the price is expected to show weak oscillation [5] 3.4 Oilseeds and Oils - **Oils**: The U.S. soybean crushing is at a high level, and the export of Malaysian palm oil is weak with high inventory.

The price oscillates in the short term [9] - **PR and PF**: PR has strong raw - material support but weak downstream demand; PF has low inventory and is expected to have a warm price adjustment [9]
