年初买了10万元黄金的人，现在账户里可能已经变成了16万。 这不是幻想，而是2025年黄金市场真实的疯狂写照。 2025年10月21日，纽约商品交易所12月交割的COMEX黄金期货价格一度触及每盎司4398美元，现货黄金价格也站稳在4345美元附近。 就在上周，金价 刚刚经历了2008年以来最猛烈的单周上涨，涨幅达到8%。 走进周大福、老凤祥这些金店，你会发现实物黄金价格早已突破1260元/克，比上个月又涨了20多元。 黄金似乎真的开启了"没有最高，只有更高"的模 式。 美联储降息：给黄金市场"送助攻" 美联储的货币政策转向，是推动金价上涨的首要因素。 2025年9月，美联储启动了降息周期，而市场普遍预期10月底的会议将再次降息25个基点。 各国央行持续购买黄金，为金价提供了坚实支撑。 中国人民银行已连续11个月增持黄金储备。 世界黄金协会的报告指出，2025年二季度全球官方黄金储备增加了166吨。 43%的央行表示未来还会继续加 仓。 对黄金来说，低利率环境意味着持有这种无收益资产的机会成本大幅降低。 当银行存款、国债这些传统理财方式的收益率下降时，不产生利息的黄金自 然变得更有吸引力。 美联储主席鲍威尔在 ...

本报（chinatimes.net.cn）记者周梦婷 北京报道 金价走势，持续挑动市场神经。10月21日，"金价银价大反攻""金饰克价一夜大涨36元"等词条登上微博 热搜。今年以来黄金价格波动上涨，如今正值淘宝、京东双十一大促，多家黄金首饰品牌纷纷上调售 价。10月20日，《华夏时报》记者从周大福方面了解到，考虑到金价持续上涨对成本的影响，集团计划 在10月底提高定价（即一口价）黄金产品的零售价格，大多数产品的提价幅度预计在12%-18%。 周大福的黄金首饰及产品分为定价和计价，"目前我们这定价和计价产品差不多是一半一半，整体算下 来，定价产品每克金售价比计价产品贵点，但因为牵扯到月底涨价，目前买定价产品的人员也挺多 的。"10月20日，北京王府井周大福店的店员告诉本报记者。 近两年，伴随黄金价格持续高涨，消费者购金意愿趋于审慎，令周大福业绩明显承压。2025财年（截至 2025年3月31日），公司不仅营收与净利润双双下滑，零售网点数量也出现自2011年上市以来的首次负 增长。进入2026上半财年（截至2025年9月30日止6个月），其零售点较2025财年末进一步减少603家。 在此背景下，周大福于年内已两次 ...

Core Viewpoint - The recent surge in gold prices is driven by multiple factors, including rising geopolitical tensions, changes in monetary policy, and increased demand from central banks [6][8]. Group 1: Gold Price Movement - Spot gold prices have surged by 2.48%, closing at $4,357 per ounce, and briefly reaching $4,381, breaking the previous historical record [1]. - Domestic gold jewelry prices are nearing 1,300 yuan per gram, indicating a significant increase in consumer interest [3]. - Despite a recent drop in gold prices, a strong rebound has led to new highs, showcasing market volatility [4]. Group 2: Underlying Factors for Price Increase - The primary drivers of gold price increases include heightened risk aversion due to unstable global economic recovery, revised U.S. employment data, and concerns over potential government shutdowns [6]. - The Federal Reserve's interest rate cut of 25 basis points in September has weakened the dollar, making gold, priced in dollars, more valuable [8]. - Global central banks are consistently increasing their gold reserves to mitigate foreign exchange risks and reduce reliance on dollar assets, providing long-term support for gold prices [8]. Group 3: Economic Implications - Rising gold prices reflect inflation and economic instability, potentially exacerbating wealth inequality as affluent individuals can invest in gold while ordinary families face currency devaluation [10]. - Increased demand for gold as a safe-haven asset may limit consumer spending on other goods, leading to a decline in purchasing power and higher living costs [10]. - Long-term holding of gold may present challenges, as it does not generate interest or rental income, and sudden financial needs may require selling at fluctuating prices [10][11].

10月21日11：06，国内现货黄金Au9999涨1.86%，报992.41元/克，国际现货伦敦金现跌0.20%，报 4346.31美元/盎司。 近期黄金市场的表现可谓一枝独秀，价格持续上涨的背后究竟有何逻辑？未来这种上涨态势能否延续？ 两大因素共同推动黄金价格的持续上涨！ 同时，也特别提醒投资者，未来金价的上涨路径可能会与过去有所不同。随着国际关系的动态变化，金 价很可能呈现"波浪式前进"的特征，在上涨过程中会出现较大的波动。中美关系的紧张与缓和将成为影 响金价短期走势的重要变量。 对于投资者该如何操作？ 对于普通投资者而言，我建议采取中长期的投资视角，避免过度关注短期价格波动。黄金在资产配置中 仍然具有重要价值，但需要根据个人风险承受能力合理配置比例。在低利率和地缘政治不确定性并存的 宏观环境下，黄金的配置价值值得重视，但也要对市场波动保持理性预期。 国际金价处于上涨大周期，建议黄金把作为重要资产配置部分去考虑，避免频繁交易。 过去一年黄金价格的强劲表现主要得益于两大因素的共同推动。一方面，美联储开启降息周期导致市场 利率持续走低，这使得不产生利息的黄金资产相对吸引力大幅提升。另一方面，中美关系出现的新变 ...
