上海金融与发展实验室首席专家、主任曾刚表示，2025年年初投资者购汇时，人民币对美元汇率约在 7.2至7.4区间，近期到期结汇时汇率已运行至7.0元附近，人民币对美元升值幅度约3%，这一汇率损失 基本覆盖了美元存款的利息收益，叠加购汇、结汇环节的点差与手续费，最终导致投资者出现亏损。 上海金融与法律研究院研究员杨海平指出，当前美元存款利率下调主要受三方面因素影响：一是美联储 处于降息周期的事实未变，美国基准利率走势仍是关键考量；二是部分人民币资产表现亮眼，投资者配 置意愿增强；三是商业银行自身对美元资金的需求发生变化。杨海平表示，预计下一阶段美元存款利率 仍将下行，节奏主要取决于美联储货币政策动向，储户需关注美联储政策、外汇管理政策以及汇率风险 与汇兑成本。 上海交通大学上海高级金融学院副教授李楠认为，投资者应基于自身资金流动性需求和风险承受能力做 好差异化管理。短期需用的保本资金可选择安全性高且流动性强的存款类产品；长期闲置资金可进行多 元化配置，通过宽基指数基金、债券基金、货币基金和黄金ETF等组合控制风险并追求收益。资金量较 大的投资者应选择持有正规投顾牌照的机构获取专业服务，警惕无资质的网络"大V"。 ...
