昨晚大宗商品市场，走出一场"分道扬镳"的戏码。 原油连续第三天下跌，WTI跌破66美元，布伦特收在71美元下方。黄金也跌了，结束四连阳，从三周高 点回落。 但另一边，基本金属全线上涨。铜涨2.3%，锡暴涨5.4%，镍涨3.6%。 同一片天空，为什么冰火两重天？ 先看原油和黄金。跌的原因挺一致——美伊要谈判了。伊朗副外长说，已准备好尽快与美国达成协议， 周四第三轮核谈将在日内瓦举行。地缘紧张一缓解，避险需求就降温，油价和金价自然往下走。 但问题是，紧张真结束了吗？ 美国刚向以色列部署了12架F-22战斗机，军事集结还在加码。交易员们嘴上在信谈判，心里还在盯着战 斗机。这种"一边谈判、一边增兵"的戏码，注定让油价短期反复震荡。 再看基本金属。为什么涨？两个原因： 第一，中国回来了。春节假期结束，全球最大金属消费国重启交易，现货需求回暖的信号已经出现。反 映中国进口铜需求的洋山铜溢价，周二飙升60%至每吨53美元。这是实打实的买盘在推。 第二，供应端的故事还在讲。锡、镍这些品种，要么有供给干扰，要么有产业新故事。 原油，别被单日涨跌带节奏。美伊谈判是一回事，美国F-22落地是另一回事。70美元的油价，向上有 顶、向 ...
