3. GOLD PRICE REACHES NEW HIGH, AFFECTED BY US ECONOMIC SENTIMENT

美国经济数据糟糕 黄金价格屡创新高

Prices of gold futures set new record this Monday at exchanges around the world, driving retail gold prices to a new highs as well. That's dampening the usual consumption surge at the end of the year, as Lei Shuran reports...

本周一，黄金期货价格在全球交易所创下新纪录，带动黄金零售价格也创下新高，这抑制了年底通常会出现的消费激增，记者雷舒然带来报道。

In-store records show that since the beginning of September, the price of gold has been above 600 yuan per gram. In November, the price was again on the upswing, and this week it reached a new high of 627 yuan per gram. Many customers who had planned to buy large quantities of gold jewelry have changed their minds.

店内记录显示，自9月初以来，黄金价格一直在每克600元以上。进入11月，金价再次上扬，本周更是创下了每克627元的新高。许多原本计划大量购买黄金首饰的顾客改变了主意。

上海市民

“I'm planning to buy only 50 to 60 grams. The price has risen to more than 600 yuan per gram, it's too high.”

“准备买五六十克的吧现在600多（元一克）了太厉害了”

Experts say that gold prices may rise further on a possible slowdown in the US economy as well as anticipated US rate cuts early next year, which could pave the way for an upward trend in gold prices and gold-related equities. Spot gold crossed 2,100 dollars per ounce to hit a record high in early Asian trade on Monday, and stood above 2,000 dollars per ounce today.

专家称，由于美国经济可能放缓，以及预计明年初美国降息，金价可能会进一步上涨，这可能会为金价和黄金相关股票的上涨趋势铺平道路。周一亚洲市场早盘，现货黄金突破每盎司2100美元，创下历史新高，今天又突破每盎司2000美元。

“Monday's sharp rise was also a continuation of last week's negative view about the U.S. market. Excessive pessimism【悲观】 about the U.S. economy caused gold prices to reach new highs.”

“周一的大幅度上涨也是延续了上周对于（美国）市场相当悲观的这样一个情形对于美国经济的过于悲观使得金价达到了新高”

Despite the price rises, experts believe that gold demand will continue to increase in China as economic and geopolitical uncertainties may drive up purchases of safe-haven assets.

尽管价格上涨，但专家认为，中国的黄金需求将继续增加，因为经济和地缘政治的不确定性可能会推动人们购买避险资产。
