-- 黃金價格週一早盤可望連續第二天下跌,美元走強。此前,美國和伊朗週末的談判未能達成和平協議,導致霍爾木茲海峽仍被封鎖,並持續造成史上最嚴重的石油供應衝擊。 5月交割的黃金期貨價格下跌51.90美元,至每盎司4,736.00美元。 美伊談判破裂,未能達成結束戰爭的協議。這場戰爭導致霍爾木茲海峽被封鎖,波斯灣國家供應的石油佔全球每日石油需求的20%。談判破裂後,美國計劃封鎖伊朗港口,並阻止任何向伊朗繳納通行費的船隻通過海峽,繼續切斷石油供應。 自2月28日戰爭爆發以來,油價已上漲近一半,推高了美國和其他地區的通膨,也終結了對美國降息的預期。美國上周公布的3月消費者物價指數(CPI)年化漲幅達3.3%,高於前一個月的2.4%。 美元早盤走強,ICE美元指數最新上漲0.25點至98.90。美國公債殖利率基本持平,兩年期公債殖利率最新報3.81%,與前一日持平;十年期公債殖利率為4.33%,下跌1.0個百分點。
