Core Viewpoint - The article discusses the contrasting views of major investment banks regarding the future of gold prices, with Citigroup warning of a potential end to the gold bull market, while Goldman Sachs maintains a bullish target of $4,000 per ounce [1] Group 1: Investment Bank Perspectives - Citigroup issues a warning that the gold bull market may be coming to an end due to potential selling pressure from the funds [1] - Goldman Sachs supports a target price of $4,000 for gold, suggesting that central bank demand could offset the effects of a "peace dividend" [1] Group 2: Market Signals - There is a significant risk signal indicated by the dollar short positions reaching a 19-year peak, suggesting a potential for a historic short squeeze in the market [1]

Core Viewpoint - The ongoing tensions in the Middle East, particularly the U.S. airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, have led to fluctuations in WTI crude oil prices, which reached a peak of $78.4 per barrel. Morgan Stanley outlines three scenarios that could influence future oil price movements [1]. Scenario Analysis - Scenario One: If military conflict does not disrupt oil flow and exports remain unaffected, Brent crude oil prices could fall to the $60 per barrel range [4]. - Scenario Two: A significant reduction in Iranian exports could eliminate global supply surplus, leading oil prices to stabilize between $75 and $80 per barrel [4]. - Scenario Three: If the conflict poses risks to broader Gulf region oil exports, high oil prices similar to those seen in 2022 could re-emerge [5]. Historical Context - In 2022, international oil prices peaked at around $140 per barrel due to the escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, followed by a decline influenced by OPEC production cuts and U.S. strategic oil reserve releases, with prices dropping to a low of $70 by year-end [1]. Inflation Transmission Effects - The impact of oil price fluctuations on global inflation varies by region. In the U.S., a permanent 10% increase in oil prices only raises core inflation by a few basis points, while in the Eurozone, the same increase could raise core inflation by approximately 0.25 percentage points [3][7]. - The U.S. is positioned as the largest oil producer, which mitigates the inflationary impact of rising oil prices on its economy, although higher prices may still pressure consumer spending and growth [7]. Recent Price Movements - Despite recent increases, the rise in Brent crude oil prices from around $60 per barrel in early May to nearly $80 per barrel is relatively moderate compared to earlier peaks in January [5].

尽管宏观情绪有所改善，但Hatzius警告称，美国对伊朗采取军事行动的风险仍是潜在威胁。虽然预测 市场显示爆发即时冲突的概率略有下降，但原油价格较6月初仍上涨约10美元/桶，折射出市场对局势升 级乃至霍尔木兹海峡中断的深层忧虑。 智通财经APP获悉，尽管地缘冲突频发且贸易环境动荡，美元近期的疲软表现仍令市场困惑。对此，高 盛在题为《失声之犬》(The Dog That Didn't Bark)的最新报告中指出，即便短期衰退忧虑缓解，周期性 利好因素仍不足以抵消美国经济面临的结构性阻力。 高盛首席经济学家Jan Hatzius在6月21日的报告中阐释："我们认为，周期性顺风不足以抵消更长期的逆 风。"他特别指出，美元表现逊色的根源在于两大结构性挑战：一是估值仍处历史高位，二是吸引非对 冲资本流入为占GDP 4%的经常账户赤字融资的难度与日俱增。 该行外汇策略团队预计美元将延续跌势，尤其对欧元和日元等汇率可能进一步走弱。其他重要预判包 括：黄金价格将重启升势，英国短期利率有望下行。 关税趋稳难驱阴霾 虽然预期中的美国关税上调幅度趋于稳定为金融市场带来些许宽慰，但美元依旧萎靡不振。高盛预测 2025年美国实际关税税 ...

智通财经APP获悉，随着全球地缘政治风险显著升温，股市近期表现却波澜不惊，令全球范围的期权交易员们陷入 进退维谷：卖出波动率之际若冲突陡然升级恐遭打脸，买入波动率操作则有可能因实际走势低迷而持续亏损或者损 失溢价比例。美国出动B-2轰炸机轰炸伊朗大型核设施后，这种地缘政治张力导致的期权市场两难操作困境只会进一 步加剧。与此同时，自以色列对伊朗发动空袭以来，油价已飙升11%，油市波动率则升至2022年俄乌战争以来最 高。 从盘面上来看，期权交易员们当前正处于"卖出波动率怕爆雷、买波怕流血"的微妙平衡，或者说是一种难以抉择的 操作困境：因为卖出波动率可能会因地缘政治突然之间升级而措手不及，而买入波动率的操作则意味着可能在实际 波动长期保持低迷的情况下损失溢价。这种环境导致了全球期权市场的混乱局面，即隐含波动率大幅下降，但溢价 仍然很高，使交易员们难以进行长期以来有利可图的高杠杆期权交易。 期权趋势数据显示，隐含波动率(IV)已自春季高位大幅回落，但实际波动率(RV)更低，导致看似"便宜"的IV仍显得昂 贵。卖波动率操作若地缘风险突然爆发，亏损呈跳跃式放大，爆仓就是一瞬间的事情;买波动则在θ(时间价值)加速衰 减中 ...

最近，国际大投行高盛又盯上了中国房地产，不出所料，这份报告一出来就炸开了锅。 他在报告里最扎心的一句是："中国房地产的'黄金时代'已彻底终结！" 这句话一针见血，点明了整个行业现在的大麻烦。 具体咋回事？我们一起来捋捋关于这次高盛的预测： 01、需求断崖：从2000万套到不足500万套 高盛最新研究报告指出，"未来数年（2025-2030年）中国城镇年均新房需求将骤降至410-500万套，较2017年2000万套的峰值缩水75%。" 这种断崖式的下跌依据是啥？业内人透过大佬的报告指出，有三个结构性的因素共同驱动： ①人口塌陷：人少了，结婚生娃的也少了 自从2022年我国人口首次进入负增长以来，按照这种负增长趋势，到2030年，每年减少的人口数量甚至达到数百万，而人口的持续减少也将拖累每年140 万套住房需求。 比如，当前主力购房群体已经出现了持续下降，90后年轻人比80后减少4000万，00后比90后减少3000多万，结婚登记暴跌35%，新生儿数量八年下降 40%…… 这些负面数据的背后，都透露出一个现实——刚需群体呈现"断崖式萎缩"。 02、市场分化：库存压力下的"冰火两重天" 随着需求持续萎缩，市场连锁反 ...

新华社纽约6月18日电 综述｜美联储保持观望 货币政策走向更多受制于通胀 美联储发布的经济预测摘要显示，其对2025年至2027年美国通胀和失业率预期均有所提高。其中，对今 年个人消费支出价格指数涨幅的预测中值从3月份的2.7%升至3%，显著高于美联储2%的长期通胀目 标。 美联储主席鲍威尔在18日下午举行的新闻发布会上表示，最近几个月，短期通胀预期走高，消费者、商 界人士和专业人士均认为关税是其中驱动因素。"降息方面，我们要考虑关税对通胀的影响，这方面有 很多不确定性。" 鲍威尔说，特朗普政府的关税政策既可能导致物价出现一次性上涨，也可能对通胀带来持续更久的冲 击。关税影响到终端消费者需要一些时间。现在关税影响已开始显现，预计今后数月影响将更为明显。 鲍威尔还表示，供应链上的生产商、出口商、进口商、零售商和消费者都试图避免受到关税影响，但最 终要有人为关税埋单。 美联储理事阿德里安娜·库格勒日前表示，绝大多数货币政策制定者现在最担忧的是通胀，其次才是经 济增长放缓。 尽管美联储官员整体预期今年仍可能会有两次降息，但分析人士认为，在关税对通胀影响预计更加明 显、地缘政治冲突推高油价的情况下，美联储短期内恐怕难 ...
