本周金價將突破4,000美元大關
黃金市場本週收盤走勢岌岌可危,價格在每盎司4,000美元附近的關鍵支撐位附近苦苦掙扎。這種貴金屬有望連續第四週下跌,這將是自2023年8月以來最長的連跌紀錄。
近幾個月來,由於伊朗戰爭嚴重擾亂全球能源市場,推高油價並引發通膨擔憂,黃金市場表現疲軟。隨著聯準會從寬鬆政策轉向鷹派立場,暗示年底前可能升息,這些擔憂正迅速成為現實。
同時,分析師指出,面對全球能源危機,美國經濟活動依然保持韌性,這推動了「美國例外論」貿易的復興,為美元提供了進一步的動力。
Tastylive 期貨和外匯策略主管 Christopher Vecchio 在接受 Kitco News 採訪時表示,在過去四個月對黃金保持中立態度後,在聯準會最近一次貨幣政策會議後,他轉而看空黃金。
儘管聯準會維持利率不變,但其更新後的經濟預測顯示,年底前升息的可能性較大。同時,聯準會主席凱文沃許強調,價格穩定是他的首要任務。
「一切都與資金成本有關。市場博弈的關鍵在於短期利率。如果你是黃金交易員,你唯一需要關注的就是兩年期公債殖利率,」他說。 “如果聯準會繼續升息——雖然難以置信——但我們可能會看到金價跌破3個百分點。”
儘管兩年期美國公債殖利率已從近期高點回落,但仍接近一年來的最高水準。
FxPro首席市場分析師Alex Kuptsikevich表示,儘管黃金本週收盤價高於關鍵支撐位,但他並不認為4,000美元能夠守住。
他指出,最近的價格走勢形成了一種被稱為「死亡交叉」的看跌技術形態,當 50 日移動平均線跌破 200 日移動平均線時,就會出現這種形態。
「本週後半段以來,空頭一直不遺餘力地試圖將價格壓低至具有重要心理意義的4000美元關口以下,但周五下午有所放鬆,」他說。 「從週線圖來看,試圖將價格推回50週移動均線上方的努力均告失敗。然而,這也是去年底的價格支撐區域,因此我們可以預期,在當前價位附近將會有一場相當激烈的拉鋸戰。”
Trade Nation 的高級市場分析師 David Morrison 也警告投資者,黃金的短期動能仍然堅定看跌。
「雖然黃金日線MACD指標顯示超賣,但遠不及3月份時的超賣程度。這意味著賣方有可能再次嘗試清空多頭頭寸,」他說。
全球經濟仍牢牢地以美元為中心
國際貨幣基金組織首席經濟學家週五表示,美國總統唐納德·川普對大多數國家單方面加徵關稅後,全球貿易流動和關係正在發生變化,但美元仍然是國際貿易、銀行業和央行儲備的錨定因素。
即將離開國際貨幣基金組織並於下週重返教壇的皮埃爾-奧利維耶·古林沙在接受路透社採訪時表示,過去幾年黃金價格的急劇上漲主要是由黃金交易所交易基金的興起推動的,這些基金允許投資者購買黃金而無需持有實物黃金。
穩定幣發行方也持有黃金作為資產,這推高了需求和價格,但即使是中央銀行也沒有積極購買黃金。
「我們幾乎沒有看到任何跡象表明我們正在擺脫以美元為中心的世界。我們仍然牢牢地處於以美元為中心的世界之中,」他說。 「這並不意味著這種情況將來不會改變,但實際上,過去十年我們所看到的進展非常非常緩慢。”
週五,由於美元走軟,且前一日公佈的美國通膨數據顯示價格壓力可能已達峰值,市場對美國升息的預期略有緩解,黃金價格小幅走高。儘管如此,黃金價格仍有望連續第四周下跌。
現貨黃金在午後交易時段上漲約1.4%,至每盎司4,083美元。
週四聯準會公佈其首選的通膨指標後,美元從近期高點回落。
Gold’s bull run is set to continue in 2026, and crypto’s weakness could boost silver higher
While Bitcoin, AI and the tech sector are likely to take a step back in 2026, gold’s bull run still has legs – and crypto’s weakness could add to silver’s strength, according to Charlie Morris, CIO and founder of ByteTree.
ByteTree created the BOLD Index, which blends Bitcoin and gold on a risk-weighted basis, and the 21Shares BOLD ETP (BOLD) which tracks the index is listed across Europe. The theory behind the BOLD index is that gold and Bitcoin are uncorrelated alternative assets, so balancing between them is very advantageous.
Morris is very bullish on both Bitcoin and gold over the long term. Five years ago – well before the current bull market had even begun – he predicted that the yellow metal would hit $7,000 per ounce by 2030. This was an extreme outlier at the time, but with gold prices gaining around $2,500 in the five years since, it looks less outlandish by the day.
“Generally speaking, I don't make projections, but I did in 2020 make that projection,” Morris told Kitco News. “It's not looking so stupid now.”
“It's all worked for the wrong reasons, which is hilarious,” he said. “And maybe the [original] reasons come true later, but my simple thesis was that long-term expectations for inflation rose in the Western world, from 2% to about 4%, and the money printing would see lasting inflation.”
Morris said markets have since seen monetary inflation, but not yet sustained consumer inflation. Still, he believes this will materialize eventually. “It just seems so inevitable with these persistent deficits that at some point it will come through,” he said. “I just don't see how you can come into this world full of money and for it not to feed through eventually, particularly with policymakers so focused these days on the real economy. As money finds its way into the real economy, then that's got to be inflationary sooner or later.”
