2月24日，日本央行前政策委员会审议委员樱井诚表示，如果在定于本月举行的日美峰会前日元重新开 始下跌，日本央行最早可能在3月份加息。樱井诚周五在接受采访时称，高市早苗可能会寻求日本央行 帮助抑制日元贬值，因为上月华盛顿进行利率检查以支撑日元这一事实表明，美国倾向于日元兑美元走 强。"货币干预在对抗日元抛售压力方面只有暂时效果。应对日元疲软的最佳方式是日本央行加息，"樱 井诚表示。他与现任政策制定者保持着密切联系。樱井诚称，日元再次下滑将通过更高的进口成本推高 通胀，并部分抵消政府燃料补贴带来的下行压力。他补充说，如果需要应对日元急剧下跌，日本央行可 以通过指出企业与工会年度春季工资谈判中薪资强劲增长的前景，来为最快于3月加息提供理由。 另外，上个月金价一度突破每盎司5，500美元的历史新高，投资市场的需求肯定是推手之一，但最大的 买家无疑是各国央行。近年来，各国央行的购买行为直接推高了黄金价格，但近期金价的剧烈波动，可 能令这种需求暂时减缓。高盛大宗商品分析师Lina Thomas及Daan Struyven在上周的一份报告中指 出，"在与市场人士讨论的过程中，央行储备的管理人仍然愿意购买黄金来对冲地缘政治和 ...

智通财经APP获悉，上个月金价一度突破每盎司5,500美元的历史新高，投资市场的需求肯定是推手之 一，但最大的买家无疑是各国央行。近年来，各国央行的购买行为直接推高了黄金价格，但近期金价的 剧烈波动，可能令这种需求暂时减缓。高盛大宗商品分析师Lina Thomas及Daan Struyven在上周的一份 报告中指出，"在与市场人士讨论的过程中，央行储备的管理人仍然愿意购买黄金来对冲地缘政治和金 融风险，但他们更倾向于推迟购买，直到价格稳定下来。" 高盛指出，市场波动加剧是由私人部门多元化需求所驱动的，其中大部分是通过放大价格波动的黄金期 权结构来体现的。这种波动性使得一些新兴市场央行在当前价格上更加犹豫是否要积极买入，即使他们 仍然看好市场。 根据世界黄金协会的数据，各国央行在2023年和2024年净购入约1,000吨黄金。2025年这一数字降至约 900吨，但与过去两年相比，它们的购买价格更高。 金价在本月初一度回落至4,400美元，但截至周一早上10时，又重回5,100水平，报5,167美元。 高盛分析师认为，结构性背景并未改变。自2022年俄乌冲突兰导致外汇存底冻结以来，各国央行重新评 估了持有美元资产 ...

据彭博社，南非储备银行行长 Lesetja Kganyago 警告称，随着稳定币使用上升，加密资产可能面临"分 裂"风险。他在 2026 年 Warwick Economic Summit 上表示，央行有责任维护货币统一性与公众获取货币 的可负担性，而稳定币发展或对该目标构成挑战。Kganyago 指出，稳定币近期在南非被更多用作低波 动性加密资产工具，南非央行此前已于 2025 年 11 月警告其监管不足带来的金融风险。此外，他还强 调，在全球不确定性上升、美国加征关税等背景下，央行需依赖多元金融模型应对变化。 （来源：吴说） ...

Global Economic Outlook - The World Bank's January 2026 Global Economic Outlook report indicates that despite ongoing trade tensions and policy uncertainties, global economic resilience exceeds expectations. The global growth rate is projected to slightly decline to 2.6% in 2026, with a rebound to 2.7% in 2027, showing that while resilience is present, growth momentum is weakening [1][2]. Economic Recovery Disparities - In 2025, global per capita GDP is expected to be approximately 10% higher than in 2019. However, the recovery is highly uneven, with nearly 90% of developed economies returning to pre-pandemic income levels, while over a quarter of emerging markets and developing economies, particularly low-income and conflict-affected countries, still have per capita income below 2019 levels. This highlights the severe impact on low-income and vulnerable nations [2][3]. Trade Dynamics - Global trade relations remain tense, suppressing economic recovery. Trade growth in 2025 is primarily driven by companies preemptively importing and exporting to avoid tariff risks. However, from 2026 onwards, trade growth is expected to slow significantly as inventory levels decrease and tariff impacts become more pronounced, with trade policy uncertainties dampening business investment and confidence [2][3]. Inflation Trends - Global inflation is generally on a downward trend, with most countries' inflation rates nearing central bank targets. The impact of U.S. tariffs on goods inflation has been partially offset by inventory accumulation and supply chain adjustments. However, financial market volatility remains a significant risk factor [3][4]. Employment Challenges - Employment challenges are a core issue for developing economies, as insufficient growth will hinder their ability to create enough jobs for a rapidly growing young population. By 2035, approximately 1.2 billion young people are expected to enter the labor market, but many countries still have per capita income below pre-pandemic levels, exacerbating employment pressures, particularly in key sectors like infrastructure, agriculture, healthcare, tourism, and manufacturing [4][5]. Policy Recommendations - The report emphasizes the need for coordinated global policies to address trade, debt, climate, and financial risks. Recommendations include maintaining and improving the multilateral trade system, supporting financing and debt relief for developing economies, enhancing global cooperation on climate risks, and ensuring financial stability through coordinated macroeconomic policies [5][6].
