中新网12月11日电(记者 左雨晴) 美联储年内最后一次降息终于落地。 当地时间12月10日，美国联邦储备委员会宣布将联邦基金利率目标区间下调25个基点，到3.5%至3.75% 的水平。这是美联储今年第三次降息。 不过，在经历2025年大涨之后，尽管市场对2026年黄金价格的预期存在一定分歧，但总体而言长期支撑 因素仍在。 在董希淼看来，推动黄金牛市的核心逻辑，如央行购金需求、货币信用替代、资产配置需求等并未逆 转，地缘政治冲突产生的避险需求依然较高，从长期看黄金价格仍有支撑。 "2026年，美联储政策博弈、经济数据摇摆以及技术性调整需求，都可能使金价在高位呈现宽幅震荡， 波动性会显著高于单边上涨时期。"他说。 白银飙涨 比黄金更值得投资？ 随着降息落地，12月11日，贵金属价格普遍上涨。伦敦现货黄金日内最高触及4247.68美元/盎司，最大 涨幅0.58%；COMEX黄金日内最高触及4277.7美元/盎司，最大涨幅1.25%。 与此同时，白银价格再次刷新历史新高。伦敦现货白银日内最高触及62.884美元/盎司，最大涨幅 1.74%；COMEX白银日内最高触及63.25美元/盎司，最大涨幅3.64%。 | | ...
