记者 张一诺 避险资产黄金正在变成高波动资产。 自周二起，国际金价连续回调，截至发稿，伦敦金现货在4110美元左右盘整，较周一创下的历史高点 4381.48跌幅达6%。分析师表示，8-9月的这波黄金牛市主要由投资机构和投机者主导，这样的交易结构 更容易暴涨暴跌。 他们认为，短期看，国际金价可能面临20%左右甚至更大幅度的回调，但金价长期上行的逻辑并没有动 摇。 "从持续时间看，最大跌幅大致发生在转折点后23至148个交易日。这意味着投资者需要为可能持续数 月、幅度达20%-40%的调整做好心理准备和仓位管理。"绍兴宇说。 10月21日，现货黄金价格盘中突然暴跌6.3%，创逾12年来最大单日跌幅。分析师表示，此次金价调整 并没有看到明显的导火索，可能是因为诸如俄乌谈判、中美贸易缓和、美国政府重新"开门"等一系列消 息触发获利了结情绪。 截至北京时间周五11:15，伦敦金现货每盎司报4117.7美元，较去年末上涨约57%。 "当前黄金多头市场拥挤度已处于较高水平，加之市场参与者对特朗普关税政策、美元指数大幅波动、 地缘政治突变、美联储货币政策（降息节奏与幅度等）与预期的差异等突发信息高度敏感。任何相关消 息都会影 ...

四月底，一位投资者以每克800多元的价格购入了上千万元的积存金，仅仅一天之后，便亏损了四十七万元。 这并不是一个孤立的案例，它真切地发生在当下波动剧烈的黄金市场中。 黄金市场在2025年经历了前所未有的波动。 4月22日，国际金价强势突破3500美元/盎司，创下历史新高，然而 次日便大幅下挫，跌破3300美元/盎司。 这种"大跳水"与"大反弹"交替出现的现象，已成为当前市场的常态。 货币政策同样直接影响着黄金的吸引力。 主要经济体央行的利率决策至关重要。 当央行采取宽松货币政策，降 低利率，会引发货币贬值预期，黄金的吸引力随之上升。 低利率环境降低了持有黄金的机会成本，同时使货币 资产的吸引力下降。 对于普通投资者而言，当前市场最大的风险在于混淆了黄金饰品与投资黄金。 金店售价高达900元/克的金饰， 回收时可能仅能兑现820元/克，品牌加价幅度可达三到五成。 黄金饰品、纪念品和工艺品并非理想的投资品， 其价格包含了高额的工艺费和质量溢价，且缺乏正规、畅通的回购渠道。 投资者常陷入的另一个误区是过度配置黄金资产。 30岁以下的投资者，配置比例在10%左右可能已足够；30至40岁阶段，可适当增加至20%左右；4 ...
