周二(5月20日)纽约盘中,现货黄金探底回升,日内价格最低至1285.90美元/盎司,最高至1296.70美元/盎司。黄金期货大单头寸抛售曾一度打压金价跌至日低,但是美国股市疲软激发了黄金的避险因素,金价再度升至平盘附近。上海黄金交易所黄金T+D夜市价格低开后震荡走高;白银T+D价格亦小幅走高。


日内,金价曾遭遇大单头寸抛售影响,在恐慌情绪的影响下,黄金期货市场上遭遇5.2亿美元大单抛售,这直接导致金价迅速下跌了7美元。然而,如此巨大的空单抛售依然不能使金价摆脱近来震荡区间。


美国股市大幅下挫,再次激发了黄金避险需求,金价再次自低位反弹走高。美国三大股指开盘下跌,截止至发稿,纳斯达克指数跌幅达0.8%,标普500指数跌幅达0.7%,道琼斯工业指数跌幅达到0.9%。


乌克兰僵持的局势对金价支撑有限。目前市场关注的焦点在5月25日乌克兰的总统选举。乌克兰国民警卫队表示,已在5月25日总统选举前强化对俄乌边境地区的控制力度,会特别重视顿涅茨克和卢甘斯克地区的边防问题。乌克兰外交部声明称,俄罗斯尚未从乌克兰边境地区撤军。


黄金基金持仓持平,在金价整体波幅受限的情况下,投资人并不愿意入场交易,等待更多的消息指引。截至5月19日全球最大的黄金上市交易基金SPDR Gold Trust的黄金持仓量与前一个交易日相比保持在781.98 吨。


世界黄金协会WGC的最新报告显示,今年第一季度世界黄金需求减少,疲弱的实物需求也是近来打压金价的重要因素。世界黄金协会指出,今年第一季季度世界全球黄金需求量为1074吨,去年同期为1077.2吨;由于金价走低,第一季度黄金需求总价值降至447亿美元。


印度放宽黄金进口限制的预期对金价支撑有限。虽然印度人民党选举的胜利,使得市场存在对印度放宽黄金进口限制的预期,但是这种预期似乎已经反映到市场中去,而印度真正黄金需求大增仍然需要较长时间,所以印度方面黄金需求的因素对金价支撑有限。


关于金价后市走势。MKS发表评论称,黄金已经陷在50日移动均线1308.10美元/盎司和100日移动均线1293.20美元/盎司区间一个月了,现在各均线开始向1300美元/盎司附近靠拢。,黄金短期趋势阻力位于4月中旬高位1307.10美元/盎司,中期趋势支撑位于去年12月低位1285美元/盎司,在5月底之前预计仍是一个楔形图案。


北京时间02:30,Au(T+D)黄金收盘报260.00元/克,上涨0.21元,涨幅0.08%;


Ag(T+D)白银收盘报4104元/千克,上涨3.00元,涨幅0.07%

21 May 2014 - Worldwide Gold Jewelry Demand Increases 3%

Demand for gold jewelry by volume continued its growth of the past few quarters based on consumers across the globe (with notable exceptions) taking advantage of a year-over-year 21 percent drop in the price of the precious metal, according to a report by the World Gold Council. Economic recoveries in some countries also is viewed as a contributing factor for this continued growth.


The amount of gold jewelry purchased in the first quarter of 2014 increased 3 percent year-over-year to 570.7 tons, the largest first quarter volume since 2005, according to the WGC's quarterly report, Gold Demand Trends. Meanwhile, demand in value terms for the first quarter fell 18 percent year-over-year to $23.7 billion, largely a function of the first quarter 2013 value of gold being the third highest on record.


The modest growth increase in gold jewelry demand made up for declines in gold demand in the technology and investment sectors, which are tracked by the WGC report. Overall gold demand in the first quarter was flat year-over-year at 1,074.5 tons. The value of demand declined 21 percent year-over-year to $44.7 billion due to the impact of lower gold prices.


Geographically, increases in demand were reasonably widespread, the WGC said.


Asia

China continues to lead the rest of the world in gold jewelry demand with a 10 percent growth in volume to 203.2 tons, accounting for more than 35 percent of worldwide jewelry demand. The WGC credits the seasonal impact of Chinese New Year being closely followed by Valentine's Day, and the strong gold buying and gifting traditions associated with those two occasions, along with the nation's "pro-gold culture" and rising incomes. Demand tailed off once the festive occasions were over.


New Year seasonal affects and lower pricing were also present in a number of markets in the Southeast Asia, notably Indonesia and Vietnam where demand increased by 9 percent and 3 percent, respectively. Thailand was the exception with a year-over-year decline of 17 percent.


The most notable decline at the country level was in India, one of the world's largest gold markets, with a 9 percent drop in jewelry demand to 145.6 tons due to ongoing restrictions to gold imports as well as cash and gold restrictions for India's consumers as a result of anti-corruption measures during the country's governmental elections. "These created an atmosphere of uncertainty, particularly with respect to the import curbs and whether these may be lifted for the second half of the year, which left many consumers reluctant to buy until a clear post-election picture emerges," the WGC said in its report. "We continue to view India as a source of strong latent demand, which will be unleashed as and when the government restrictions on gold are eased."


US and UK

Consumers in the US and the UK responded positively to lower gold prices and continued economic recovery. US jewelry demand increased 5 percent to 19.1 tons. Severe weather conditions in January affected demand but the slack was made up in February and March as "consumers shifted from plated jewelry towards higher carat items, encouraged by retailers dedicating more shelf space to gold jewelry." The increase also reflected stock replenishment after stronger than expected Christmas sales.


In the UK, the lower gold price, the strength of the British pound and signs of economic recovery led to a 29 percent gain in gold jewelry demand to 3.5 tons.


Middle East

Gold jewelry demand in the United Arab Emirates increased 18 percent to 22.1 tons, making it the highest quarterly total since the record third quarter of 2008, the WGC said. Jewelry demand strengthened across the Middle Eastern region as a whole.


Egypt saw growth of 6 percent to 12.8 tons, "predominantly in the high-carat investment-proxy segment." Even with the strong showing, demand in Egypt "continues to suffer as a result of the ongoing political tensions," the WGC said.


In Turkey gold jewelry demand declined 12 percent to 14.5 tons. Currency depreciation resulted in a sharp rise in local gold prices during the quarter, which deterred jewelry buyers. The decline was further exacerbated by political controversy, with the ruling party facing corruption allegations.


Russia

In Russia, continued economic slowdown, combined with further depreciation of the rouble and an outbreak of geopolitical tensions, led to a 2 percent year-over-year decline in Russian jewelry demand to 17 tons. This ended 12 quarters of expansion in this market "as consumers were more focused on accumulating savings to combat the environment of uncertainty and instability," the WGC said.

20 May 2014 - 提升黄金定价权 上海自贸区力争四季度推出黄金国际板

本报讯


(记者马翠莲)日前,由上海黄金交易所和中国黄金协会指导与支持、深圳金融电子结算中心主办、深圳黄金投资有限公司承办的"加快发展黄金市场提升中国定价权"—第四届商业银行黄金投资高峰论坛在杭州举行。


深圳金融电子结算中心总经理肖广昶表示,黄金作为投资避险工具和抵抗通货膨胀的金融资产,一直受到大众的追捧,2013年,我国黄金产量和黄金消费双双居于世界首位。在美联储缩减购债规模,中国经济加快转型升级的经济金融形势下,如何促进我国黄金市场的发展,快速推广上海黄金交易所黄金现货,提升中国在世界黄金市场的话语权和定价权,是目前黄金行业领域从业者需要研究和探讨的课题。


作为我国首家成立的金融电子结算中心,深圳金融电子结算中心先后建成和投产运行了人民银行现代化支付系统、全国支票影像交换系统、电子商业汇票系统、网上支付跨行清算系统等。2008年成为了上海黄金交易所金融会员,在上金所和人民银行深圳市中心支行的大力支持和帮助下,自主研发投产黄金二级交易系统,为商业银行投资者与上金所之间搭建一个便捷的黄金交易平台,直接推动上金所非会员银行黄金代理业务的发展。


备受关注的上海黄金交易所国际板日前获批,上海黄金交易所理事长许罗德表示,目前上海黄金交易所正在进行相关技术准备和会员招募,力争四季度推出黄金国际板,这将成为中国首个对外开放的资本市场。黄金国际板最大的突破就是引入境外投资者,投资上海黄金交易所的黄金、白银等产品,并且以人民币报价交易,不设额度限制。许罗德说,伦敦是上海建立黄金国际板的很好借鉴。伦敦和上海一样并不产黄金,但是由于其贸易中心及转口中心的地位,使得其成为黄金交易市场。而上海可以将区域性的优势和国际中心的地位相结合,打造成为世界性的或者区域性的黄金转口中心。


许罗德表示,黄金国际板前期势头非常好,许多银行、企业及投资机构都表现出了浓厚兴趣。他还表示,深圳金融电子结算中心和上海黄金交易所以及商业银行三方合作的模式将是非常好的模式,同时具备可行性及可持续性。


许罗德表示,如何发挥深圳金融电子结算中心在市场推广及管理方面的优势,以及商业银行在客户资源的优势并整合到上海黄金交易所这个交易平台上来,最终达到三方参与者的多赢,对中国黄金交易市场的发展具有重要意义。


中国黄金产量自2007年首次超过居全球产金第一大国109年之久的南非,从而跃居全球榜首后,已经连续七年夺冠,2013年中国的黄金产量达到了428.16吨,是2007年的1.58倍,连续7年保持全球第一,七年间累计产金2399.52吨。尽管如此,中国黄金协会副秘书长郎秋美表示,我国黄金产区作为行业运行主体的企业规模偏小,资源整合、开发程度不够,生产集中度偏低。中国十大重点黄金矿业公司的产量占全球仅5%,国内黄金市场在世界黄金市场体系中未占有一定地位,始终没有话语权和定价权,黄金投资交易也亟待规范。


世界黄金协会远东区总经理郑良豪表示,想要增强中国的黄金影响力和话语权,中国有许多事情要做,包括广泛参与国际黄金市场、做好国内市场基础设施和制度建设、培养国际化人才、提升风险控制能力等等。


郑良豪说,其中最重要的是要沉淀实体黄金在中国。"为什么纽约和伦敦可以成为全球最重要的黄金交易中心,是因为有实体黄金沉淀在国内,中国要在这方面发展,也离不开这点,有这些黄金的沉淀才可以多参与市场。"根据统计,过去30年中国可能已经沉淀大概9000到1万吨黄金,但相比美国、英国,仍差距甚大。


郑良豪还表示,参与国际市场是一条重要通道。目前,中国银行(601988,股吧)等商业银行已经参与国际市场运作,希望将来有更多的商业银行或通过上海自贸区国际板参与黄金市场,或者直接参与纽约、伦敦市场,以早日获取国际黄金价格的话语权。

20 May 2014 - European Central Banks to Coordinate Gold Transactions

Posted: 21 May 2014 02:51 AM PDT

From:http://blogs.wsj.com/economics/2014/05/19/european-central-banks-to-coordinate-gold-transactions/

By BRIAN BLACKSTONE

Central banks in the euro zone, Switzerland and Sweden have agreed to coordinate their gold transactions and have no current plans to sell "significant" amounts, the European Central Bank said Monday.


The five-year agreement will apply starting Sept. 27 this year, when the current accord on gold dealings by the central banks expires.


"Gold remains an important element of global monetary reserves," the ECB said in a statement. "The signatories will continue to coordinate their gold transactions so as to avoid market disturbances," it said.


The agreement among some of Europe's key central banks has been in place since 1999. The rationale is that, with central banks typically being large holders of gold, it is necessary to coordinate any transactions so as to prevent volatile swings in the gold market.


Under the 2009 renewal, the ECB, plus the Swedish and Swiss central banks, said sales would not surpass 400 tonnes annually, or 2,000 tonnes over the five-year period. The current one doesn't specify a limit.


"The signatories note that, currently, they do not have any plans to sell significant amounts of gold," the ECB said.


The ECB and its member central banks in the euro zone held EUR327 billion ($448.4 billion) in gold on their balance sheets as of May 9. The Swiss Central bank had CHF38 billion ($42.6 billion) in gold at the end of April.


At the end of 2013, Sweden's Riksbank owned SEK31.4 billion of gold ($4.8 billion).
