金價(jià)跌至10個(gè)月低點(diǎn)

據(jù)今日油價(jià)網(wǎng)站3月8日消息 金價(jià)周一繼續(xù)下滑，因美元和美國(guó)國(guó)債收益率繼續(xù)走高，并促使投資者拋售這種無收益的金屬。

截至美國(guó)東部時(shí)間上午11點(diǎn)40分，現(xiàn)貨金再次下跌1.2%，至1679.67每盎司，為6月初以來的最低水平。美國(guó)黃金期貨價(jià)格也下跌1.2%，跌至每盎司1677.40。

與此同時(shí)，美元攀升至三個(gè)月高點(diǎn)，而美國(guó)10年期國(guó)債收益率保持在接近一年多高點(diǎn)的水平，增加了持有不付息黃金的機(jī)會(huì)成本。

TD Securities大宗商品策略主管Bart Melek在一份報(bào)告中向路透社表示：“我們的經(jīng)濟(jì)正在復(fù)蘇，通脹正在顯現(xiàn)，這最終意味著收益率有上升空間，金價(jià)可能因此進(jìn)一步下跌至1660盎司。

黃金被普遍認(rèn)為是對(duì)沖通脹的工具，通脹可能源于廣泛的刺激政策，但今年債券收益率上升已威脅到這一地位，因?yàn)樗鼈冝D(zhuǎn)化為持有黃金的機(jī)會(huì)成本上升。

分析師還表示，美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)主席鮑威爾未能解決最近收益率飆升的問題進(jìn)一步打壓了黃金。

Gold Prices Slide To 10-Month Low

Gold prices continued to slide on Monday as the dollar and US treasury yields kept marching higher and prompted investors to dump the non-yielding metal.

Spot gold dropped another 1.2% to $1,679.67 per ounce by 11:40 a.m. EST, its lowest since early June. US gold futures too fell by 1.2%, down to $1,677.40 per ounce.

Meanwhile, the greenback climbed to a three-month peak, while the US 10-year Treasury yield held close to a more than one-year high, increasing the opportunity cost of holding gold, which pays no interest.

“We have an economy that is recovering and inflation is materializing; that ultimately means that yields have room to move higher,” Bart Melek, head of commodity strategies at TD Securities told Reuters in a note, adding that gold could fall further towards $1,660 as a result.

Gold is widely considered a hedge against inflation that is likely to stem from widespread stimulus, but higher bond yields this year have threatened that status as they translate into a higher opportunity cost of holding bullion.

Analysts also said US Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s failure to address the recent surge in yields last week further pressured gold.
