截至发稿，现货白银的历史最高价格已经达到58.8美元/盎司，沪银夜盘也收涨超5%。至此，现货白银年内涨幅已经突破100%，显著高于现货黄金的60%。 12月2日，受多重因素影响，现货白银昨夜今晨持续突破历史新高，同步带动国际金价小幅走高。 与此同时，现货黄金日内最高摸到每盎司4245美元，也是10月中旬创历史高位之后的六周新高。 综合来讲，推升近期白银领头大涨的原因主要有三：供应紧张、投机性逼空，以及宏观局势引发的价值储存需求。 作为背景，今年10月大量白银涌入伦敦，以缓解全球最大白银交易中心历史性的供应紧张局面。但这也给其他全球期货交易中心带来压力，上期所数据显 示，其关联仓库的白银库存近期降至近十年最低水平。另外，白银上个月被列入美国地质调查局的关键矿产名单，关税担忧也压制了交易商将白银运出美国 的念头。 K线图和交易数据也显示，这一轮白银涨势已经显现投机逼空的态势。 法国兴业银行大宗商品策略主管大卫·威尔逊解读称："上周的走势是由投机推动的，加速的上行动量吸引了越来越多的快钱。现在需要关注的是金银比已接 近70。" 金银比是指每盎司黄金能换多少白银，目前已经触碰2021年8月以来的低点。 （来源：Tra ...
