Jacob Passy: 我观察到近期市场波动,特别是受特朗普总统政策影响的市场动荡,导致许多投资者寻求黄金作为避险资产。 Oyin Adedoyin: 我注意到自二月以来,投资者向黄金交易所交易基金(ETF)投入了巨额资金,三月的数据更是创下2020年7月疫情高峰以来的新高。这表明人们对黄金作为避险资产的需求日益增长。此外,我们看到越来越多的投资者,从首次购买者到长期投资者,都在增加黄金持有量。这其中既有寻求在特朗普政策下稳定投资的首次购买者,也有长期以来一直看好黄金的投资者。 Owen Tucker-Smith: 许多投资者对特朗普政策对股市的影响感到担忧,他们认为黄金是一种更稳定的投资,不会像与贸易战和其他政府政策相关的股票那样容易受到市场每日波动的影响。黄金的投资回报并非来自短期收益,而是在于长期持有期间价格的增值。这与股票不同,股票可以产生利息收入或股息。黄金的价值随着时间的推移而稳步增长,投资者持有实物黄金,等待其价格上涨。这种趋势在过去也出现过,例如互联网泡沫时期、2008年金融危机和新冠疫情期间,这些时期都伴随着巨大的不确定性,投资者更倾向于选择有形资产来寻求心理慰藉。 关于投资方式,投资者可以通过购买实物黄金,例如金条,并将其存放在银行保险箱中。这种方式更直观,让人更有安全感。另一种方式是通过网站购买黄金ETF或共同基金,这种方式更便捷,也与黄金价格挂钩。 此外,我们还注意到,当黄金价格创下新高时,投资者会大量涌入黄金ETF,这体现了市场中的跟风效应。 Oyin Adedoyin: 黄金价格近期持续上涨,并在周一创下近20%的涨幅,创下历史新高,这是自1986年以来最好的季度涨幅。一些机构预测,如果特朗普政府的不确定性持续存在,未来两年黄金价格可能达到3500美元。当然,这取决于未来几个月特朗普政府的政策走向。然而,黄金投资也存在风险,价格波动可能导致损失,而且黄金本身并不产生固定收益。一些理财顾问建议客户避免情绪化投资,坚持长期投资策略,因为黄金价格的大幅波动可能导致投资成本过高。 总的来说,市场的不确定性导致许多投资者寻求黄金作为避险资产,但同时也要注意黄金投资的风险,避免情绪化投资。
