黄金仍是避险首选,美联储无力扭转局面?
关键词:黄金仍是避险首选
5月12日,由于美元指数回落,现货黄金重新走高,虽然美联储官员淡化负利率前景有所利好美元,但负利率不再是投资者无法触碰的禁区,美国市场必须适应当前经济环境,同时投资者对疫情二次爆发的担忧有所升温,也带动了黄金的避险需求。
美元指数早盘一度触及逾两周高点100.440,接近一个多月以来区间的顶部,日内最大涨幅0.22%。美元受到美债收益率曲线趋陡的提振,隔夜10年期美债收益率升至0.7%上方,五年期和两年期美债收益率也上涨。
新冠病毒疫情对经济的损害已经迫使美联储推出前所未有的一系列刺激计划,包括扩大公司债券购买规模,把一些投机级债券纳入其中。即便原本看来是无法想像的“实施负利率”,也随着时间的推移,起了微妙变化。
尽管美联储几乎排除了负利率的可能,但疫情对经济及金融市场带来严重冲击,美国经济走向经济大萧条以来最严重衰退,已经迫使投资人认真思考这样戏剧化的政策转变意味着什么。联邦基金利率期货显示,到2021年6月联邦基金利率将比0%低约1个基点。
随着数以千万计的美国人失业,他们对经济低迷期间其财务状况将受到的打击变得更加悲观,并担心将面临长期失业。而美国小企业正在迅速适应变迁的环境。
纽约联储周一公布的一项调查显示,在大多数州的美国人因新冠病毒大流行而被要求呆在家里的一个月里,美国消费者对失业的恐惧加剧,对获得信贷或支付账单的能力更加悲观。
消费者预期将失业的机率升至2013年该调查启动以来的最高水平。他们对薪资、消费的预期降至低位。对未来一年和三年的通胀预期仅小幅上升,但预估存在更多不确定性。
新冠病毒疫情在全球蔓延,已经导致近418万人感染,逾28万人死亡。然而,市场担心第二波新冠疫情可能爆发,病患和病亡数量还会有质的跃升,多国计划重启经济的进展黯然失色。
德国和韩国这些国家已放宽封锁限制,但传出新增病毒感染病例。新型冠状病毒卷土重来可能会削弱全球经济复苏,人们原本寄望货币和财政刺激措施能推动经济回升。
