全球金融圈都被中国一个操作惊到了，明明自己账上躺着3万亿美元的外汇储备，根本花不完，却面向全球投资者发行了40亿的美元债。 不缺美元借美元，中国到底打的什么算盘？ 就在11月份，中国在香港成功发行了40亿美元的主权债券，3年期和5年期各20亿美元。 按理来说，发债券就等于找市场借现金，发美元债就代表手里没美元了，需要借美元来救急。 可中国呢？ 压根就不缺美元，9月份的顺差还有500多亿美元，外汇储备更是高达3万亿美元，全球独一份。 那中国为什么还要借美元呢？ 这背后的真实目的，是改写全球金融规则，直指美元霸权的要害，中国发行的不是美债，而是美债的掘墓人，特朗普跟美联储恐怕都要坐不住了。 为什么这么说呢？三大原因。 第一点，这是对中国主权信用认可度的最好测试。 过去几十年里，世界各国的主权信用，牢牢地攥在3家评级机构的手里，分别是美国的穆迪、标准普尔，和欧美合资的惠誉。 美元霸权收割全球，这3家机构都出了不少力，每当华尔街要收割一个国家的优质资产时，这3家机构就会一起发力，大幅调降目标国家的主权信用评级，市 场投资者一看，马上就会引起恐慌，纷纷抛售这个国家的外汇、债券和股票。 面对投资者的挤兑，本来没问题的国家 ...

前言 2024年国际金价40次刷新纪录，冲破每盎司2800美元大关，全年涨幅超27%创下14年之最，2025年初至 今涨幅再超10%。 与金价疯狂形成对比的是中国央行公开购金数据格外低调，2024年6-8月单月购入量均不足2.3吨。 但分析机构测算显示，中国实际购金规模可能是官方数据的10倍以上，法国兴业银行更是估算2024年中 国总购金量或达250吨，占全球央行购金需求的三分之一。 这场动静悬殊的隐秘购金，除了去美元化的深层逻辑，还暗藏着怎样的市场布局与战略考量？ 中国购金规模 中国实际购金规模与官方数据的巨大差距，并不是市场凭空猜测，而是有多重数据与产业链事实支撑。 作为全球最大黄金生产国，2024年中国原料产金377.24吨，加上156.86吨进口原料产金，全国总产金量 达534.11吨，充足的国内产能让中国无需依赖公开进口即可补充储备。 中国的低调更有额外优势，上海黄金交易所国际板的"直通车"政策已经打通国内产业链与国际金库的衔 接，149公斤标准金锭可直接运抵国际板仓库，运输效率提升50%以上，2025年相关业务规模预计超100 亿元。 加上保税黄金不设存储期限的政策支持，中国既能便捷囤积黄金，又能 ...
