在昨天的國會聽證會上,美聯儲主席鮑威爾淡化了連續爆表的通脹數據的影響,並強調了勞動力市場離完全復蘇還有很長的路要走,因此貨幣政策將繼續保持對經濟強有力的支持。
言下之意,暫時不考慮縮減購債!
鴿派十足的言論立即打壓了各期限債券收益率,並反轉了美元指數(USDX)的走勢。美元兌所有主要貨幣均錄得跌幅。
其中紐元昨天上漲1.35%至0.7038。新西蘭聯儲出人意料的停止了購債計劃,遠早於市場預期,此舉為加息掃清了技術性障礙。盡管聯儲沒有給出加息時間表,但利率市場以及完全計價今年11月的加息,而今年8加息的概率高達70%。
作為最早啟動縮表的央行,加拿大央行昨天再次縮減了其每周購債規模至20億加元,並表示通脹只是暫時性的,因此加息時間點仍然在2022下半年。由於不如預期鷹派,在決議出爐後加元回吐漲幅,美/加收盤微跌至1.2507。
歐元遠離3個月低點至1.1836,英鎊小幅上漲至1.3859。
黃金在經歷了數日的盤整之後,昨天大幅跳升至一個月高點1827,攻克了200天均線。在突破了維加斯通道的阻力之後,金價進一步確認了多頭格局。在通脹升高以及美聯儲維持寬松的利好之下,金價下一步有望沖擊1833和1852等前高。
XAUUSD
由於OPEC+可能達成增產協議,以及美國成品油庫存增加,WTI原油(SpotCrude)昨天重挫3%至73美元下方。不過比起談判破裂可能引發的無序增產,成員國達成共識能夠消除油價的一個不確定性因素。另外一個X因素是新冠疫情,Delta病毒似乎無法阻擋,短期來看油價難免繼續經歷震蕩。
