周二,美国月度通胀数据超出预期,引发市场对美联储进一步加息的担忧,金价随之暴跌逾2%。
Gold prices plunged more than 2% on Tuesday after US monthly inflation exceeded expectations, fueling concerns over further interest rate increases by the Federal Reserve.
截至格林尼治时间13时30分,黄金下跌2.1%,即87.60美元,至每盎司4052.90美元;白银下跌2.8%,至每盎司51.90美元。

美国10月消费者价格环比上涨0.4%,超过市场预期的0.3%,但涨幅较9月的0.6%有所放缓。
US consumer prices rose 0.4% in October from the previous month, exceeding market expectations of 0.3%, although the increase slowed from September's 0.6%.
通胀数据显示,能源价格上涨0.7%,食品价格上涨0.5%,住房成本上涨0.3%。
Energy prices climbed 0.7%, food prices rose 0.5%, and shelter costs increased 0.3%, according to the inflation data.
剔除波动较大的食品和能源成本后,核心消费者价格连续第三个月上涨0.3%。
Core consumer prices, which exclude volatile food and energy costs, rose 0.3% for the third consecutive month.
这些数据发布之前,美联储理事克里斯托弗·沃勒发表了鹰派言论,暗示支持12月加息。
The figures followed hawkish remarks by Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller, who signaled support for a December interest rate increase.
沃勒还提出,如果通胀比他预期的更强劲,可能有必要更大幅度加息。
Waller also raised the possibility of a larger increase if inflation proved stronger than he anticipated.
他表示,即便月度通胀有所改善,他也倾向于加息25个基点;而如果数据明显更强,则可能值得考虑加息50个基点。他的言论发表于通胀数据公布之前。
He indicated that he was leaning toward a 25-basis-point hike even if monthly inflation improved, while a substantially stronger reading could warrant considering a 50-basis-point increase. His remarks came before the release of the inflation data.
利率上升通常会推高持有这种无息金属的机会成本,从而对金价构成压力。
Higher interest rates typically weigh on gold prices by increasing the opportunity cost of holding the non-interest-bearing metal.
与此同时,美国劳工统计局没有公布10月的整体或核心通胀同比数据,因为2025年10月的政府停摆扰乱了调查数据的收集。这一中断导致该机构缺少进行同比比较所需的去年同期数据。
Meanwhile, the Bureau of Labor Statistics did not publish annual headline or core inflation figures for October because the government shutdown in October 2025 disrupted survey data collection. The disruption left the agency without the year-earlier figures needed for annual comparisons.
