金价在本周初上涨,交易商在华盛顿联储主席Kevin Warsh的讲话后缩减了对本月加息的押注。
Gold opened the week higher as traders pared bets on the Federal Reserve raising interest rates this month after remarks by Chair Kevin Warsh.
金价在每盎司约4,180美元附近交易,继上周下跌0.7%后。交易商在联储主席的言论被解读为支持暂停加息的观点后,将本月加息25个基点的概率压至不足五分之一。高昂的借贷成本是金价的拖累因素,因金价不支付利息。
Bullion was trading around $4,180 an ounce, after falling 0.7% the week before. Traders unwound bets on the probability of a quarter-point hike to less than one-in-five after comments by the Fed chair were interpreted as supporting the case to keep rates on hold when it meets next week. Higher borrowing costs are a headwind for gold, which doesn’t pay interest.
上周美国通胀数据强劲,推高了对美国加息的预期,助推了美元走强,但Warsh的言论遏制了美元的涨幅。
A hot US inflation print last week had spurred expectations for US hikes, boosting the dollar, but Warsh’s comments halted its gains.
自8月以来,金价一直站稳每盎司4,000美元的关键支撑水平,作为避险资产的身份在本年早些时候因战争导致的跌幅推动其进入熊市区间后提供了支撑。自2月底以色列与伊朗冲突爆发以来,金价已跌至约五分之一。
Gold has held above the key $4,000-an-ounce support threshold since August, with its status as a safe haven asset providing a floor since a war-driven slump pushed it into bear territory earlier this year. It is still down around a fifth since the US-Iran conflict erupted in late February.
伦敦金在新加坡时间早上7:35以每盎司4,180.97美元上涨0.4%,而白银上涨0.6%至每盎司57.33美元。铂金和钯金均上涨。彭博美元指数,衡量美元的指标,在上周下跌0.3%后基本持平。
Spot gold rose 0.4% to $4,180.97 an ounce at 7:35 a.m. in Singapore, while silver gained 0.6% to $57.33. Platinum and palladium advanced. The Bloomberg Dollar Spot Index, a gauge of the US currency, was little changed after falling 0.3% last week.
