零售数据萎靡,但黄金多头还没到时候
关键词:零售数据萎靡
4月1日欧洲盘时段,金价大幅上涨,因美国公布的2月零售数据大不及预期,市场经济再度收缩,美元指数有所下调。但中国制造业活动重新扩张,同时贸易谈判不断释放积极信号,美联储管控降息预期,压制黄金走高。
投资者忧心忡忡,希望找寻安慰。但时段内公布的美国2月零售销售数据,表现再次令市场揪心,不仅远不及预期,而且还双双逆转了前期涨势。美国2月零售销售月率录得-0.2%,核心零售销售月率录得-0.4%。
该数据在12月份创逾9年跌幅后,1月份的时候则相对企稳,要知道美国政府部分关门几乎覆盖了整个1月份。2月份美国零售业规模再度萎缩,表明经济前景不妙,金价遂在此后扩大涨幅。
中国3月官方制造业采购经理人指数(PMI)从2月49.2的三年低点升至50.5,系四个月内首次扩张;财新3月制造业PMI创八个月高位50.8,也重返荣枯线50上方,高于预期的50,这进一步提振投资者信心,表明政府刺激举措可能开始对国内经济发挥作用。
中国总理李克强周四在博鳌亚洲论坛开幕式上表示,今年不稳定不确定因素明显增多,但我们留有充足的备用工具。中国将坚持改革开放,激发市场主体活力,增加内生动力,顶住下行压力,保持中国经济长期向好。
美联储一周前刚停止加息,但决策者显然无法消停,他们不得不极力避免“美联储需要很快降息”这种观点成为现实。而这种观点在金融市场愈发流行,就连特朗普政府也这么认为。
夸尔斯在纽约的演说中表示,他倾向于不考虑近来的数据,因数据“有点奇怪”,而且与潜在经济实力、应该提振家庭支出的薪资上涨,以及生产力的上升“不一致”。他认为生产率上升可能“持续”,并引领未来经济成长更为强劲。
夸尔斯是最新一位坚持美联储有升息选项的决策官员,即使市场益发认为此举不太可能。最新的月度就业报告显示聘雇明显放缓,且近期数据显示工厂活动、企业及消费者信心和通胀全都走弱。
鉴于失业率处于3.8%,经济增速即使有所放缓但仍高于潜在水准,因此美联储决策者普遍不愿放弃通胀和薪资最终将上升的观点。这是美元指数无法开启单边跌势的因素。
