这个假期，全球大宗商品市场被金属板块"霸榜"，黄金、铜等金属价格大幅上涨。 这个国内"十一"假期，全球大宗商品市场被金属板块"霸榜"。 从黄金突破4000美元每盎司，到铜供应紧张，再到有色金属的全线飙升，市场正在经历一场由宏观、产 业与地缘多重力量共振驱动的"金属狂欢潮"。 "节后国内市场开盘或能延续涨势，"交易人士分析称，但也需关注节后国内地产、家电等传统需求的边 际变化；以及美联储等宏观政策的后续走向。若传统需求超预期走弱，或美联储政策出现降息节奏放 缓，金属价格或面临高位震荡压力。另外，部分投机资金或在价格急涨阶段选择获利了结，有可能引发 金价短线回调。 贵金属：黄金再创历史新高，白银补涨 10月8日，现货黄金价格首次突破4000美元，最高触及每盎司4040.4美元，年内上涨1413美元，累计涨 幅超53%。同时，COMEX黄金期货价格最高触及4063.4美元/盎司，截至发稿，纽约期金涨幅收窄至 1.4%左右，报4061美元/盎司，年初至今涨超47%。 黄金在国内"十一"长假期间的爆发式拉升，一方面缘于美国政府"停摆"引发的避险情绪升温，包括非农 在内的重要经济数据未能按时公布，叠加地缘冲突和全球宏观环 ...
