从更广泛的视角来看，虽然乌克兰危机形势出现新的变化，但全球其他地区的地缘局势是否会再起波 澜，仍需要进一步关注。鉴于地缘局势波动在近几年推高金价中的特殊作用，未来地缘局势是否会出现 再度紧张，将成为金价进一步上行亦或长期高位震荡的重要影响因素。但在新的地缘扰动出现之前，仍 需对金价的波动做好风险管理。 从更长的周期来看，美国联邦政府债务规模高企且在近年加速扩张，美元信用长期走弱的大背景下，黄 金仍具有长期配置的价值。中长期来看，若金价跌至每盎司2850美元至3000美元区间，将再度给出长期 配置的买入机会。（个人观点，仅供参考） 近期，随着美俄总统在阿拉斯加的会晤结束，俄乌冲突有可能进入新阶段，有望进入缓和期。这对于黄 金市场而言，下行压力明显，伦敦金价甚至有向每盎司3120美元的低点寻找支撑的可能。 不过，美联储降息预期可能给金价提供支撑。目前对美联储在年内余下议息会议上重启降息的预期强 烈，这可能打压美元指数进一步下跌至91-93的区间内，从而对金价上行构成支撑。不过，短期内金价 依托降息预期的反弹力度依然有限，中期向每盎司3000美元附近寻底的概率较大。 新华财经北京8月20日电国际金价在4月下旬创下历 ...

Report Industry Investment Rating No information provided. Core View of the Report The Fed maintained the federal funds rate target range at 4.25% - 4.50% as expected. The meeting's signals were relatively neutral compared to pre - meeting expectations, and the implied probability of a September rate cut decreased. Fed Chair Powell did not clearly guide on the future rate - cut path, and the threshold for future rate cuts remains uncertain. Market rate - cut expectations retreated after the meeting, causing fluctuations in major assets [1][6][7]. Summary by Relevant Catalogs 1. Pre - meeting Concerns: Is it the Prelude to a September Rate Cut? - Since the last meeting, US economic data has shown resilience, with some indicators having inflection signs. In June, core retail sales increased by 0.5% month - on - month, core CPI was 2.9% year - on - year, and the labor market cooled with 7.437 million job openings. GDP growth was affected by net exports, and the concern about stagflation remained [2]. - US and major economies' tariff policies became clearer in July, and market risk preferences continued to recover. Trump pressured the Fed to cut rates, but the market considered it a low - probability event that the Fed's independence would be impacted [2]. - Two key points for the meeting were whether the Fed would provide more guidance on the rate - cut path while keeping rates unchanged, and whether Fed理事沃勒 and鲍曼 would vote against the rate - hold decision, which would increase the uncertainty of the rate - cut expectation for the year [3]. 2. Meeting Content: No Guidance on Rate Cuts in September and Beyond, Cooling Market Expectations - The Fed kept the federal funds rate target range at 4.25% - 4.50%. Fed理事鲍曼 and沃勒 voted against, preferring a 0.25% rate cut [4]. - At the press conference, Powell did not guide on a September rate cut, cooled the market's September rate - cut expectation. He thought the job market was balanced, inflation was moving towards 2%, service inflation slowed while commodity inflation rose, and economic growth slowed due to reduced consumer spending. The removal of the "uncertainty has decreased" statement had no special meaning, and the process of final tariff estimation was not near the end [5]. - The meeting emphasized economic cooling factors and showed internal differences. The signal was relatively neutral, and the implied probability of a September rate cut decreased. After the press conference, market rate - cut expectations retreated, and major assets fluctuated [6][7]. 3. Market Outlook: Tracking the Continuity of Geopolitical and Economic Stability, and the Implementation of Anti - Involution and Domestic Demand Expansion - After the June meeting, the report proposed to track three macro contradictions: the impact of the Israel - Iran conflict on risk preferences, the progress of tariff negotiations, and domestic policies on expanding domestic demand [8]. - Since the June meeting, the Israel - Iran issue was quickly resolved, geopolitical risks were under control, tariff levels were determined, and domestic "anti - involution" policies were moving from expectation to implementation, with fiscal policies showing more signs of strength [8]. - The Fed maintained a wait - and - see attitude in July. Future macro contradictions should be observed from three aspects: geopolitical disturbances, the implementation of US multilateral tariffs and the smooth suspension of Sino - US tariffs, and the hedging effect of domestic policies on the decline in external demand [9][10][11].
