美聯儲緊縮“嚇不退”金價 基金經理堅守黃金持倉
本文來自:金十數據, 作者:吳小辣
貨幣寬鬆時代的落幕通常利空黃金,然而,直到現在,基金經理們依舊維持着持倉狀態。
在股票和比特幣(通常被吹捧爲數字黃金)隨着寬鬆貨幣政策接近尾聲而下跌的時候,黃金交易所交易基金(ETF)的持倉量仍富有彈性。儘管市場預計美國今年將多次加息,但對實際利率保持負數的押注以及對衝通脹的需求正在支撐黃金的吸引力。

DWS集團旗下管理着200億歐元(226億美元)的多資產總回報團隊負責人克裏斯託夫·施密特(Christoph Schmidt)將8%的資金投資於黃金,但他並不急於賣出,施密特表示:
“在可預見的未來,我不認爲我們會改變黃金頭寸。我們沒有看到利率環境發生巨大變化。”
由於擔心黃金因持有的機會成本過高而遭到拋售,大多數分析師預測黃金將表現不佳。在2013年美聯儲暗示收緊政策且投資者對黃金失去信心後就出現了這種情況。然而,目前金價依舊保持在兩個月高位附近,黃金ETF持倉量遠高於新冠疫情開始前的水平。
今年迄今,黃金價格幾乎沒有變化,約爲1840美元/盎司。相比之下,由於擔心美聯儲即將加息削弱風險情緒,全球股市下跌超過5%,比特幣價值縮水四分之一。
儘管過去六個月黃金ETF持倉量略有下降,但降幅非常有限,需要大約七年的時間纔會降至2020年初的水平。
基金經理堅持持有黃金的一個關鍵原因是,他們認爲,不管美聯儲有多努力提高利率,實際收益率將仍爲負數,而對高通脹的擔憂也在支撐黃金。美國CPI同比漲幅創40年來最高。
Permanent Portfolio Family of Funds駐舊金山總裁兼投資組合經理Michael Cuggino的投資組合中有四分之一是貴金屬。他表示:
“鑑於過去幾年全球央行釋放的大量流動性,我們認爲黃金在未來會創下更高的高點和更高的低點,通貨膨脹主要是一種貨幣現象。”
管理着14億美元資產的紐約Rose Advisors投資組合經理Patrick Fruzzetti表示,隨着投資者削減美股頭寸,黃金也可能受益於美元走弱的潛力。他說:
“保守估計美元至少不會走強,相反地,美元很有可能會走弱。”

本週的美聯儲會議可能是影響黃金走勢的關鍵。從長遠來看,美聯儲更鷹派的言論可能會提振加息的前景,從而抑制黃金的吸引力。如果通脹放緩速度快於預期或美元走強,同樣也會讓金價承壓。
但在實際收益率再次轉爲正值之前,黃金還有一段路要走,況且其開年以來的良好表現還不足以促使基金經理們拋售黃金。在倫敦管理着逾30億美元的Columbia Threadneedle Investments多元資產配置主管Toby Nangle就是其中一員。他表示:
“我並不傾向於增持黃金,但它還沒有達到我們賣出的標準。”
