总而言之，数字黄金代币的崛起正成为影响国际金价不可忽视的新变量。Moneta Markets外汇认为，尽 管目前对冲基金的头寸仍然在短期价格波动中占据主导地位，但数字资产发行商展现出的长期持仓倾向 和稳定的资金流入，正在为黄金市场构建一个更具韧性的底部。未来，随着更多机构投资者将数字黄金 纳入核心资产配置，传统ETF与数字代币之间的边界将进一步模糊，市场波动性也可能因此呈现出新的 特征。 这种数字资产发行方正在全方位挑战传统金融机构的地位。从持仓吨位来看，领先的黄金代币若被视作 ETF，其规模足以位居全球第八。法兴银行的分析进一步证实，去年12月涌入数字黄金代币的资金流量 在全球排名第二，仅次于行业标杆SPDR Gold Shares。特别是在市场波动剧烈时，数字资金的反应速度 极快。在1月30日金价出现显著回撤后，数字资产巨头迅速买入11公吨黄金进行补仓，这种"逢低买 入"的操作模式在很大程度上对冲了部分对冲基金的抛压，成为月底市场企稳的关键驱动力。 新浪合作大平台期货开户 安全快捷有保障 2月10日，在当前复杂多变的投资环境中，实物黄金的投资需求正经历一场深刻的范式转移。Moneta Markets外汇表 ...

Core Viewpoint - The recent sharp decline in the global precious metals market, particularly in silver and gold, is attributed to a series of interconnected factors rather than a fundamental collapse of the market [1][4][10]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - Silver futures plummeted nearly 30%, with iShares Silver Trust experiencing a record single-day drop of 28.5%, closing at $75.44, while SPDR Gold Shares fell 10.3% to $444.95 [1]. - The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) raised margin requirements unexpectedly, increasing gold's maintenance margin from 6% to 8% and silver's from 11% to 15%, triggering forced liquidations of high-leverage positions [1][2]. - The combination of increased margin requirements and a short-term rebound in the dollar, following Trump's nomination of Waller for the Federal Reserve chair, created a dual pressure that accelerated the market's decline [2]. Group 2: Institutional Perspectives - Goldman Sachs characterized the event as a "technical washout after excessive crowding," indicating that the rapid price increases in silver and other hard assets had led to a fragile market state [4]. - Morgan Stanley remains optimistic about gold, asserting that its role as a hedge remains intact, with expectations that central bank gold purchases will reach 800 tons by 2026, predicting a gold price of $6,300 by the end of that year [6]. - In contrast, Morgan Stanley is cautious about silver due to its lack of stable buyers like central banks, suggesting that silver may face deeper corrections due to its speculative nature [6]. Group 3: Market Behavior and Investor Sentiment - Despite the price drop, ETF trading volumes did not show signs of panic selling, indicating that most sell-offs were forced liquidations rather than active decisions to exit the market [7]. - The macroeconomic factors that had previously driven the market upward, such as the dollar's performance and geopolitical dynamics, remain intact, suggesting potential for recovery despite short-term volatility [7]. - Investors are advised to differentiate between passive ETF holders and long-term physical buyers, with the former needing to prepare for liquidity risks while the latter may find opportunities to buy at lower prices [8]. Group 4: Lessons for Regulators and Investors - The incident serves as a lesson for regulators regarding the timing and communication of margin adjustments, highlighting the need for smoother transitions and clearer warning mechanisms [10]. - Central banks and sovereign wealth funds may find their rationale for holding gold reinforced by this volatility, as diversification of currency and reserves is seen as a prudent long-term strategy [10]. - The extreme volatility in silver trading, with nominal volumes exceeding $32 billion, underscores the asset's speculative nature and the potential for rapid price declines when liquidity diminishes [12].

1 月 30 日，国际金价经历了近 40 年来最黑暗的一天——从前一日的历史高点逼近 5600 美元，垂直坠 落至 4400 美元附近。紧接着，戏剧性的反弹在随后的几个交易日展开，金价又重新站上 5000 美元关 口。这一系列动作，发生在 120 小时内。 一根单日跌幅超过 12% 的巨阴线，不仅几近吞噬了黄金一个月的涨幅，更像一盆冷水浇醒了那些认为 黄金只涨不跌的新手投资者。 图片来源：视觉中国 花旗集团分析师近期指出："黄金与美股波动的相关性在过去三个月中显著提升，特别是与科技股为主 的纳斯达克指数。"这种相关性转变，甚至某种程度上使得黄金在投资组合中的角色从"稳定器"变成 了"放大器"，这种过山车式的行情也并非传统避险资产应有的特征。 黄金这次巨震的根本原因，在于市场形成了史无前例的拥挤交易。根据美国商品期货交易委员会（ CFTC ）数据，在暴跌前一周，黄金期货非商业净多头持仓达到了历史最高水平的 94% 。这意味着几 乎所有投机者都站在了多头一边。 市场情绪指标显示，黄金的 14 天相对强弱指数在暴跌前一度突破 90 ，创下本世纪以来最高水平，表明市场已进入极度超买区域。 根据芝加哥商品交易所的数据， ...

全球贵金属市场在上周五经历了一场历史性的暴跌，白银单日重挫近30%，黄金也大幅回撤。 尽管跌幅惊人，但多家华尔街投行分析师认为，这是一场由过度拥挤的持仓和保证金上调引发的技术性 出清，而非基本面逻辑的根本性逆转。 市场数据显示，iShares Silver Trust上周五下跌28.5%至75.44美元，创下有史以来最大单日跌幅；SPDR Gold Shares下跌10.3%至444.95美元。 据高盛交易部门观察，白银的波动率飙升至仅在全球金融危机最严重时期和新冠疫情封锁期间才出现过 的极端水平，其ETF名义交易量超过320亿美元。 该行在周日的研究报告中写道，黄金仍是一个动态的、多层面的投资组合对冲工具，央行和投资者的需 求依然强于预期。摩根大通预测，在央行购金和投资者需求的推动下，金价将在2026年年底达到每盎司 6,300美元。尽管金价越高"空气越稀薄"，但结构性反弹并未面临崩盘风险。 摩根大通目前预测，2026年各国央行的黄金购买量将达到800吨，理由是外汇储备多元化的趋势正在持 续不断。 相比之下，摩根大通对白银持"更加谨慎"的态度。分析师指出，白银近期上涨的驱动因素难以量化，且 缺乏像央行那样明 ...

Core Viewpoint - The recent sharp decline in gold and silver prices is attributed more to liquidity issues and margin calls rather than a fundamental decrease in demand for these precious metals [1][2]. Group 1: Market Behavior - Spot gold experienced a drop of over 12% in a single session, while silver fell approximately 33%, marking one of the most significant selloffs in decades [1]. - The behavior of gold and silver ETFs during this period highlighted the breakdown of leverage and liquidity, affecting their pricing mechanisms [1][3]. Group 2: Volatility and Market Dynamics - David Miller, CIO at Catalyst Funds, emphasized that the volatility observed does not undermine the long-term bullish outlook for gold as a primary reserve asset, suggesting that historical corrections often present buying opportunities [2]. - The extreme volatility in silver was noted to be due to its dual role as both an industrial metal and a safe haven, leading to sharper sell-offs when growth expectations falter [4]. Group 3: Margin Requirements and Liquidation - The CME Group's increase in margin requirements for gold and silver futures intensified selling pressure, forcing traders to either post additional collateral or liquidate their positions, which further exacerbated ETF pricing dislocations [4]. - Mark Malek, CIO at Siebert Financial, pointed out that crowded trades can unwind without negative news, indicating that the recent rally in gold was both macro-driven and narrative-fueled, embedding significant risk [5]. Group 4: Long-Term Outlook - For ETF investors, the events of January 31 were characterized as a liquidity and leverage event rather than a collapse of gold's long-term investment case, suggesting that the narrative surrounding gold remains intact despite short-term volatility [5].

Core Viewpoint - JP Morgan maintains a bullish outlook for gold, projecting a price of $6,300 per ounce by year-end despite recent selloffs in precious metals [1] Group 1: Market Trends - The investment bank emphasizes a structural trend of diversification towards real assets, which is expected to continue amid a regime favoring real asset performance over paper assets [2] - Central bank buying and sustained investor demand are anticipated to support gold prices, with forecasts of approximately 800 tons of official-sector gold purchases by 2026 as reserve diversification from the U.S. dollar persists [3] Group 2: Recent Market Actions - Despite long-term optimism, gold and silver prices fell at the start of the week, with spot gold dropping to $4,401 per ounce and silver to $71.30 as investors unwound leveraged positions [4] - The CME Group has raised margin requirements for gold and silver futures, increasing COMEX gold margins from 6% to 8% and silver margins from 11% to 15%, which typically reduces speculative participation and can lead to further price declines [6]

全球贵金属市场在上周五经历了一场历史性的暴跌，白银单日重挫近30%，黄金也大幅回撤。尽管跌幅惊人，但多家华尔街投行分析师认为，这 是一场由过度拥挤的持仓和保证金上调引发的技术性出清，而非基本面逻辑的根本性逆转。 市场数据显示，iShares Silver Trust上周五下跌28.5%至75.44美元，创下有史以来最大单日跌幅；SPDR Gold Shares下跌10.3%至444.95美元。据高 盛交易部门观察，白银的波动率飙升至仅在全球金融危机最严重时期和新冠疫情封锁期间才出现过的极端水平，其ETF名义交易量超过320亿美 元。 此次暴跌的直接导火索是芝加哥商品交易所在周五收盘前宣布上调保证金要求，这迫使大量杠杆资金在周末前平仓。同时，随着美国总统特朗普 提名沃什为下一任美联储主席，美元的反弹也对金属价格构成了压力。 尽管价格出现剧烈修正，但机构分析师并未恐慌。Yardeni Research指出，主要ETF的交易量并未显示出恐慌性抛售的迹象。摩根大通则重申了对 黄金中期走势的坚定看涨立场，认为在实物资产跑赢纸面资产的机制下，黄金仍是有效的投资组合对冲工具。 摩根大通：坚定看多黄金，对白银更谨慎 由Gre ...
