有色金属 2025 年 8 月 24 日 有色金属周报 美联储 9 月降息预期抬升，金价上涨驱动显现 强于大市（维持） 行情走势图 告 行 -10% 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 24/08 24/11 25/02 25/05 25/08 沪深300 有色金属 证券分析师 核心观点： 贵金属-黄金：美联储 9 月降息预期抬升，金价上涨驱动显现。截至 8.22，COMEX 金主力合约环比上涨 1.03%至 3,417.20 美元/盎司。 SPDR 黄金 ETF 环比减少 0.9%为 956.77 吨。8 月 22 日，美联储主 席鲍威尔表示，风险平衡的转变可能需要调整政策。美联储面临"严 峻形势"，仅凭就业可能超过其最大可持续水平的不确定估算， 并不 一定需要收紧政策。鲍威尔讲话后市场对美联储 9 月降息概率由 75% 上升至 90%。我们认为降息预期或为金价当前锚定的核心驱动，预期 抬升有望推动黄金偏强运行。长期看，海外宏观不确定性持续，黄金 避险属性仍处于放大阶段，金价中枢预计仍将持续抬升。 工业金属：下游消费旺季渐进，基本面支撑渐强 行 业 深 度 报 行 业 深 度 报 行 业 周 报 ...

从技术面来看，根据最新的四小时图表，金价目前徘徊在3340美元附近，处于支撑与阻力的夹缝地带，下方支撑区间集中在3290至3268美元，一旦跌破这一 带，可能加速下探至更低水平；而上方的关键阻力则位于3430至3452美元区域，该区间与长期下降趋势线重叠，构成强压，若能有效突破，则有望进一步冲 击3500美元关口。换言之，黄金正处于区间震荡的中枢，短期方向尚未明朗，突破与跌破都可能引发趋势性行情。 整体而言，黄金的多空力量正在平衡中博弈，降息预期虽仍存在，但激进宽松的幻想被数据打破，美元反攻的条件逐渐形成；而和平希望则让黄金避险属性 削弱。短线走势将高度依赖即将到来的美联储信号和全球经济数据。如果周五鲍威尔讲话继续维持鹰派立场，金价可能难以突破上方阻力区间，甚至会重新 走弱；但若释放对通胀容忍度的提升，坚定年内多次降息，黄金则可能迎来新一轮反弹。未来几日的市场动态将决定黄金能否摆脱当前困境，这不仅关乎短 期交易机会，更关乎避险资产在全球资金配置中的地位。 ▲ATFX图 黄金价格在周三启动了较为明显的反弹，因美元转为走弱。此前市场一致认为美联储将在9月重启降息周期，甚至押注年内累计三次25个基点的宽松，但随 着 ...

Group 1 - The fundamental attributes of gold are scarcity and safe-haven appeal, with the former being a physical property and the latter an emotional one. Despite annual mining, the incremental supply is only 1% of the total stock, making it difficult to influence international gold prices. The safe-haven attribute is the key factor determining gold price fluctuations [1] - Recent geopolitical events, such as the end of conflicts between Israel and Iran, and Thailand and Cambodia, have reduced the number of events that can trigger market risk aversion. The ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict is also approaching a resolution, with expectations of a peace agreement becoming mainstream in the market [1] - The latest gold price is around $3,338, which is only $161 away from its historical high of $3,499. However, this resilience is primarily attributed to the decline of the US dollar index rather than its safe-haven property [1][2] Group 2 - Since Trump's presidency, aggressive domestic and foreign policies have caused anxiety and disappointment among Wall Street and global financial institutions, leading to capital flight from the US and a significant drop in the dollar index. The dollar index peaked at 110.18 in January but has since fallen to a low of 96.37, remaining below the 100 mark [2] - Technically, gold has been in a converging triangle consolidation pattern since April 22, with the right side of the triangle becoming increasingly narrow, indicating a potential breakout. A peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine could increase the likelihood of a downward breakout for gold. However, recent rebound waves suggest that bulls are still making efforts, and if the dollar index remains weak, gold may still have the potential for an upward breakout [5]

Investment Rating - The industry investment rating is "Outperform the Market" (maintained) [1][58]. Core Views - Precious Metals - Gold: Short-term drivers are expected to be weak, with gold prices likely to fluctuate. As of August 15, the COMEX gold futures contract fell by 2.21% to $3,381.7 per ounce. The SPDR Gold ETF increased by 0.6% to 965.36 tons. The U.S. July CPI rose by 2.7% year-on-year, while the core CPI rose by 3.1%. The impact of U.S. tariff policies is gradually becoming evident. In the medium term, interest rate cut expectations may anchor gold prices, while long-term macro uncertainties continue to amplify gold's safe-haven attributes, leading to an expected upward trend in gold prices [4][5][7]. - Industrial Metals: The downstream consumption peak season is approaching, and the fundamental support is strengthening. As of August 15, LME copper futures fell by 0.1% to $9,760 per ton, with domestic copper social inventory at 125,600 tons, a decrease of 6,400 tons. The LME copper inventory stood at 155,800 tons. The import copper concentrate index reported -$37.68 per ton. The demand side is expected to enter a destocking cycle as domestic consumption gradually recovers. The macro environment remains supportive for copper prices due to a weaker dollar [6][7]. Summary by Sections 1. Precious Metals - Gold prices are expected to maintain a strong oscillation in the short term, with macro uncertainties supporting long-term upward trends [4][5]. 2. Industrial Metals - **Copper**: The domestic demand is gradually recovering, with a tight supply of copper concentrate.

Domestic aluminum social inventory reached 588,000 tons, an increase of 24,000 tons.

Investment Recommendations - The report suggests focusing on the gold, copper, and aluminum sectors. For gold, the recommendation is to pay attention to Chifeng Jilong Gold Mining. For copper, the focus is on Luoyang Molybdenum Co., and for aluminum, Tianshan Aluminum is highlighted [7][56].
