"不确定性仍然是全球经济的一个决定性特征，"世界黄金协会高级市场策略师Joe Cavatoni表示。"在这 种环境下，黄金作为战略分散工具和稳定源变得越来越具有吸引力。" 对于一些投资者来说，黄金的软肋在于它不像债券那样支付利息。但当美联储像过去几个月那样降低利 率时，美债收益率往往会下降，从而使黄金更具吸引力。 今年年初，黄金期货交易价格约为每盎司2640美元。本周一，金价攀升至每盎司4500美元以上的历史新 高。摩根大通的分析师预计，2026年金价将升至每盎司5000美元以上。 黄金今年71%的涨幅远远超过了仅上涨18%的标普500指数。在2024年，黄金期货上涨了27%，而标普指 数上涨了24%。 对美联储在2026年进行部分降息的预期正在支撑金价上涨。美元走软也助推了金价，因为这使得购买黄 金对国际投资者来说相对更便宜。 黄金珠宝商和拥有黄金首饰的人正从更高的价格中受益。而且，这场淘金热不仅仅是由美国人在好市多 抢购金条推动的，更是各国按吨购买黄金的结果。央行与地缘政治 黄金正迎来自1979年以来表现最好的一年。在纽约交易的黄金期货今年已飙升近71%，有望创下46年来 的最大年度涨幅。上一次黄金表现如 ...

同时，乌克兰对俄罗斯港口和航运的新一轮袭击，进一步强化了黄金作为避险资产的吸引力。面对局势，中国迅速采取行动，从战略层面判断并运作。12月 20日，中国海关公布数据显示，今年前11个月，中国已从俄罗斯购买约19亿美元黄金，仅11月就采购了9.6亿美元，创下中俄黄金交易的新纪录。 欧洲刚刚加大对乌克兰的支持力度，紧接着特朗普政府就对委内瑞拉施加了极大压力，使其几乎陷入封锁状态。同时，俄罗斯也开始撤离驻委内瑞拉外交官 的家属，局势明显在升级，战争的阴影似乎一触即发。消息一出，国际黄金价格迅速飙升，突破4500美元的重要关口，今年累计涨幅已高达68%。普京也迅 速做出决定，大批俄罗斯黄金被运往中国。 有人认为，在乱世中囤积黄金是一种古老的思维方式，但实际上，黄金真正的对手是纸币。只要纸币持续超发，黄金就会不断上涨，其价值会稳步攀升。 此次黄金价格的飙升，很大程度上源于美联储近期的降息举措，以及市场对债务货币化的担忧。所谓债务货币化，是指央行通过购买政府发行的债券，即印 钞票的方式，来推动通胀，从而偿还国家债务。前高盛首席货币策略师罗宾布鲁克斯指出，美联储主席鲍威尔在8月杰克逊霍尔年会上发表的鸽派言论，以 及12月1 ...
