美元跌至一个月新低,黄金多头发威盼连涨
周五(7月30日)亚洲时段,现货黄金持稳于1828附近。周四(7月29日)金价大涨逾1%,创近半个月新高,因美国二季度GDP及初请失业金数据都表现不佳,美元跌至一个月新低。不过,股市及美债收益率上涨限制了金价的涨幅。
美国第二季度GDP增长低于预期
受供应链瓶颈的约束,美国第二季度经济增长逊于预期,并使消费者支出数十年来的最大增幅之一也黯然失色。
美国商务部周四公布的初步估计数据显示,第二季度国内生产总值折合年率增长6.5%,第一季度数据修正后为6.3%。联邦政府支出、住宅投资和库存拖累了第二季度的数据。
在经济中占比最大的个人消费折合年率增长11.8%。
通胀调整后的国内生产总值达到折合年率19.36万亿美元,超过了大流行病前的峰值。
经济学家得出的预期中值为第二季度GDP增长8.4%。
在疫苗接种、联邦财政救济和更广泛的经济重新开放的刺激下,美国人既有能力又有机会增加外出就餐等服务支出。额外的现金加上强劲的招聘也帮助维持了商品支出。
展望未来,经济增长将面临政府支持减弱、供应和劳动力限制挥之不去的挑战。与此同时,快速蔓延的delta变种病毒也对支出前景构成风险。
初请失业金人数高于预期
美国上周申请失业救济人数下降,表明劳动力市场继续好转,尽管新冠病毒delta变种肆虐。
劳工部周四发布的数据显示,截至7月24日当周首次申领常规州失业救济的总人数为40万人,较前一周减少2.4万人。经济学家对首次申领失业救济人数的预期中值为38.5万人。
在劳动力需求上升的背景下,自年初以来,每周失业救济申请人数大幅下降。与此同时,最近导致全国新病例激增的delta病毒变种也构成了风险。
大约一半的美国州长已经先于9月到期日提前结束了在疫情期间设立的所有三个联邦失业救济计划,认为这些补充福利不利于企业填补创纪录数量的职位空缺。
