在地缘政治风险悬而未决、特朗普新关税政策引发巨大不确定性背景下，2025年包括人工智能交易、美 欧股市等各类风险资产价格"涨声一片"，但金银价格涨幅明显更胜一筹。 双重因素助力 综合来看，导致本轮金银价格飙升的"导火索"来自市场对美联储降息预期升温，以及地缘政治风险加剧 推升避险需求。美国总统特朗普预计将于近日宣布接替美联储主席鲍威尔的人选——鲍威尔的任期将于 明年五月届满。这一人事变动引发市场预期，认为新任美联储主席将秉持鸽派立场，这可能会导致美联 储在2026年降息两次。 除此之外，地缘政治风险也强化了黄金和白银的避险属性。据新华社12月21日报道，美国20日证实当天 在委内瑞拉附近海域扣押了一艘油轮，这是美近期在委附近海域扣押的第二艘油轮。委内瑞拉副总统兼 石油部长罗德里格斯谴责美国针对运载委石油的私人船只实施"盗窃和劫持"。 是否存在泡沫引发争议 黄金和白银成为今年全球金融市场表现最抢眼的两大赢家。 本周一（12月22日），现货黄金一度涨超2.3%至每盎司4442.22美元，创下的历史最高纪录；现货白银 也强劲上扬3.4%至每盎司69.46美元，同步创下历史新高。 数据显示，随着贵金属交易势头强劲，今 ...

上周五美股多数收跌，三大股指走势分化。尽管联邦政府结束持续43天的停摆，但上周四主要股指仍录得逾一个月来最大单日跌幅。市场关注焦点集中于两 方面：当前抛售趋势是否持续，以及积压经济数据的解读方式。由于政府停摆导致数据发布延迟，这些信息可能被市场视为过时指标，而人工智能交易的波 动性仍存变数。 债券市场观察人士指出，数据的重要性评估存在分歧 道明证券美国利率策略主管戈德堡认为，市场参与者仍会关注这些数据，但重视程度可能降低，因更及时的新数据即将陆续公布。 9月非农即将出炉，CPI迷雾未散 人工智能交易前景的不确定性，叠加即将集中发布的积压经济数据，使美股市场面临波动风险。这些延迟披露的数据可能呈现就业市场疲软与通胀压力并存 的局面，加剧投资者对经济走势的担忧。 原定10月初发布的9月非农就业报告将于本周四公布。有分析认为，该报告对市场影响可能有限，因11月就业数据将在美联储12月政策会议前发布。但亦有 观点指出，延迟数据的集中发布可能放大市场波动，负面解读的可能性较高。 佛罗里达州经纪公司市场策略主管拉塞尔表示，当前市场情绪倾向于淡化积极信号，更关注就业市场疲软证据。他认为若没有人工智能和数据中心投资支 撑，经 ...

若对人工智能交易的疑虑持续叠加即将发布的积压经济数据引发担忧，股票投资者可能将迎来动荡的一 周开局——这些数据或显示就业市场疲软且通胀居高不下。 美国股票上周五多数收跌，三大股指涨跌互现。上周四，尽管联邦政府结束史上最长停摆重新开门，但 道琼斯工业平均指数、标普500指数、纳斯达克综合指数以及罗素2000小盘股指数均创下逾一个月最差 表现。 投资者当前面临的最大问题之一是，股市的大幅抛售是否还有进一步空间，以及积压的经济数据发布后 将如何被解读——这些数据将在未来几天内开始陆续公布。 市场对这两个因素均未形成共识。由于为期43天的停摆导致数据延迟，这些数据可能被视为过时，而人 工智能交易也可能像上周五盘中那样重新获得支撑，这两种情况都有可能发生。 "目前尚不清楚市场将对单个数据点赋予多大权重，"关注债券市场的道明证券（TD Securities）纽约美 国利率策略主管根纳季·戈德堡（Gennadiy Goldberg）表示。市场参与者"仍会关注这些数据，但关注的 程度可能会大打折扣，因为他们认为更新、更及时的数据即将到来。" 9月非农即将出炉，CPI迷雾未散 本周四，美国官方9月非农就业报告将最终发布，较原定 ...
