国家金融与发展实验室特聘高级研究员庞溟分析，从汇率折算角度来看，随着美联储开启降息周期消息 被市场逐渐消化，9月份美元指数震荡调整，从月中低点向上蓄力，给外汇储备中的非美货币资产估值 带来一定压力。与此同时，从资产价格变化角度来看，月内全球金融市场资产价格总体保持涨势，资产 价格重估提升了外汇储备规模。两个因素综合作用，使9月份我国外汇储备规模继续上升。 值得注意的是，9月末，我国外储规模已连续两个月升至3.3万亿美元之上，创2015年12月以来最高，较 上年末也大幅增加1363亿美元。 从控制成本角度出发暂停增持黄金的必要性下降，而从优化国际储备结构角度增持黄金的需求上升。 10月7日，国家外汇管理局统计公布数据显示，截至2025年9月末，我国外汇储备规模为33387亿美元， 较8月末上升165亿美元，升幅为0.5%。同期央行数据显示，9月末黄金储备为7406万盎司，上月末为 7402万盎司。 9月末外储规模出现一定幅度上升，主要受全球金融资产价格上涨带动。 东方金诚首席宏观分析师王青表示，首先，受美联储重启降息等带动，9月全球主要股指普遍上行，美 债收益率走低，美债价格上扬。这些都会带动我国外储投资的金融 ...
