中方公布了最新的黄金储备数据，这事儿一出，就在国际市场上搅起不小波澜。9月7日，国家外汇管理 局放出消息，8月末外汇储备规模达到3.322万亿美元，比上个月多了点，具体增加299亿美元左右。同 一时间，央行也更新了黄金储备数字，8月末持有量是7402万盎司，比7月末多出6万盎司。这已经是连 续第十个月增持黄金了，按吨算的话，大概到2302吨左右。黄金价值也水涨船高，达到2538亿美元，在 总储备里的占比慢慢爬升到7%左右，虽然跟国际平均15%的水平还有差距，但这步子迈得稳当。 为什么中方这么坚持增持黄金？说白了，是多种原因叠加的结果。全球金价这两年一路飙升，从2023年 到现在，已经摸到每盎司3500多美元的纪录高位，9月9日还站上3676美元。分析师们都说，美元正走进 一个长期贬值通道，黄金自然就成了避险首选。摩根士丹利把年底金价目标定在3800美元，高盛更乐 观，预计2026年中能破4000美元。在这种大势下，增持黄金等于顺势而为，不光能保值，还能优化储备 结构，降低对单一货币的依赖。目前国际上其他国家黄金在储备里的占比平均15%，中方只有7.3%，空 间大得很。 再加上外部环境不稳，中美贸易摩擦还没彻底 ...

近几周现货黄金价格不断上涨。本周二（9月9日），现货黄金盘中突破3650美元/盎司，一度达到 3657.13美元/盎司，再创历史新高。受国际金价一路走高的影响，国内多家黄金饰品价格已经突破1070元 人民币/克。过去两周几乎每一个交易日，黄金都在稳步上涨，显示出投资者对金市的浓厚兴趣和持续信 心。 黄金加速上涨的核心原因，是市场对美联储即将重启并加快降息进程的强烈预期。简单来说，当央行降息 时，存款和债券收益下降，使得持有黄金的机会成本降低；同时，降息往往伴随货币贬值与通胀上升的担 忧，而黄金作为保值和避险资产，需求自然增加；此外，降息还会压低美元，使国际买家购买黄金更便 宜，这些因素共同推动金价持续走高。 目前，美联储已将联邦基金目标利率维持在4.25%—4.5%的区间长达八个月，高利率对消费、就业和投资 的不利影响逐步显现，市场对降息的现实需求不断上升。与此同时，特朗普对美联储施加降息压力、内部 鸽派力量增强，再加上主席鲍威尔在杰克逊霍尔全球央行会议上释放的降息信号，让市场普遍预期，美联 储可能在九月降息，并在今年下半年至2026年加快宽松节奏。随着降息落地，美元可能走弱、实际利率 下降、通胀预期升温，同 ...

金价的强势上涨并非单一因素驱动，而是宏观政策、资产配置以及市场趋势的多重共振。 华闻期货高级分析师傅文浩指出，美联储即将在9月进入议息周期，降息预期对美元形成压力，从而对 黄金构成短期利好。与此同时，各国央行自2023年以来不断加码黄金配置，削减国债持有比例，带来结 构性转变。他强调，央行资产配置中黄金占比已反超国债，出现"剪刀差"。从1996年以来的可得数据 看，这一结构性反转并不多见，是支撑金价的底层逻辑之一。 宏观环境的变化同样不可忽视。中信期货宏观研究员张皓云表示，海外经济因关税压力和就业疲软而承 压，美国消费者实际薪资停滞，通胀却在抬升。在这种背景下，美联储释放出更多宽松空间，加之特朗 普对美联储人事的干预，市场对降息的押注进一步升温，推高了黄金的避险吸引力。 而在上善资本集团首席经济学家夏春看来，近期金价屡创新高是多重风险累积的结果。除了降息预期和 经济走弱，美国劳动力市场可能因数据修订而出现大幅"缩水"，进一步加剧衰退担忧；特朗普频频干预 美联储，也让市场对美元和资本市场稳定性的信心动摇。黄金因而成为全球央行和投资者共同追逐的避 险资产。 今年黄金表现格外抢眼。 金价能否继续上冲？ 作为表现最为 ...
