周四,黄金跌至每盎司3340美元左右,收复了前一交易日的部分涨幅,因为对贸易发展的乐观情绪降低了黄金的避险吸引力。特朗普总统宣布,美国已与越南达成贸易协议,根据该协议,将取消对越南产品的一些严厉关税,以换取美国商品更多地进入越南市场。该协议还为即将达成的更多双边贸易协定带来了希望。与此同时,由于财政担忧和美联储进一步放松货币政策的预期,美元持续疲软限制了损失。ADP数据显示,6月份私营部门就业人数意外下降,这是两年多来的首次下降,并引发了人们对劳动力市场实力的新担忧,这支持了宽松货币政策的理由。在其他地方,伊朗停止了与联合国核监督机构的合作,增加了适度的地缘政治风险。
Gold declined to around $3,340 per ounce on Thursday, giving back some of the gains from the previous session as optimism over trade developments reduced the metal’s safe-haven appeal. President Trump announced that the US had reached a trade agreement with Vietnam, under which some of the harsh tariffs on Vietnamese products would be lifted in exchange for greater access for American goods to the Vietnamese market. The deal also raised hopes for additional bilateral trade agreements in the pipeline. Meanwhile, losses were limited by ongoing weakness in the US dollar amid fiscal concerns and expectations of further monetary easing by the Federal Reserve. ADP data showed private-sector payrolls unexpectedly fell in June, marking the first decline in more than two years and raising fresh concerns over labor market strength, which supports the case for lenient monetary policy. Elsewhere, Iran halted cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog, adding modest geopolitical risk.
