当地时间1月11日晚，美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔通过美联储官网网站和官方社交账号发布视频声明，证实自己正面临联邦检察官的刑事调查。 鲍威尔直指此次调查是特朗普政府的政治施压手段，核心原因是美联储坚持基于经济数据制定利率政策，未顺从总统的降息要求，而非调查所宣称的国会 证词或办公楼翻新项目问题。 调查缘起：传票指向国会证词与翻新项目，鲍威尔称系"借口" 鲍威尔在声明中披露，1月9日（周五），美国司法部向美联储送达大陪审团传票，以其2025年6月在参议院银行委员会的证词为由威胁发起刑事起诉。该 证词部分涉及美联储一项为期多年的历史性办公楼翻新项目。 但鲍威尔明确驳斥这一调查理由："此次新的威胁与我去年6月的证词或美联储办公楼翻新无关，也与国会的监督职责无关——美联储已通过证词和公开披 露充分向国会通报项目进展，这些都只是借口。"他强调，调查的本质是"美联储能否继续基于证据和经济状况制定货币政策，还是会屈服于政治压力与恐 吓"。 据《纽约时报》援引知情官员消息，此次调查由哥伦比亚特区联邦检察官办公室负责，该办公室负责人珍妮宁·皮罗曾担任纽约州检察官和福克斯新闻主 持人，由特朗普亲自任命。一名熟悉调查的人士向CNBC证 ...

Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the recent surge in precious metal prices, particularly gold and silver, driven by geopolitical tensions and increased demand for safe-haven assets, despite heightened volatility in the market [1][3]. Group 1: Precious Metal Price Movements - On January 11, gold futures on the New York Commodity Exchange reached a historic high, surpassing $4,612 per ounce [1]. - In the first complete trading week of 2026, both gold and silver futures prices have shown significant increases, with gold rising by 3.96% and silver by 11.72% [3]. - Silver futures experienced extreme volatility, with a single-day increase of nearly 8%, a two-day cumulative rise exceeding 14%, and a subsequent two-day drop of over 7% [5]. Group 2: Market Influences - Geopolitical events, such as the U.S. raid in Venezuela, have heightened market risk aversion, contributing to the increased allocation of precious metals by investors [3]. - Goldman Sachs noted that silver lacks the demand support from global central bank reserves, making its price more sensitive to market liquidity [8]. - The Bloomberg Commodity Index underwent an annual rebalancing, significantly reducing the weight of precious metals, which may trigger passive liquidation of gold and silver positions [13]. Group 3: Future Outlook - Despite facing short-term downward pressure, multiple financial institutions anticipate that both precious and industrial metal prices will have room for growth this year [12]. - Goldman Sachs predicts that a normalization of monetary policy, particularly interest rate cuts driven by easing core inflation pressures, could support higher metal prices, especially for precious metals and copper [16]. Group 4: Oil Price Movements - International oil prices have also risen due to increased geopolitical risks and unexpected reductions in U.S. crude oil inventories, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) rising by 3.14% and Brent crude by 4.26% [18].
