AUD/USD extends its losses for the second successive day, trading around 0.6980 during the European hours on Wednesday. The pair stays under pressure as the Australian Dollar (AUD) weakens following the latest domestic inflation data release.
大华银行经济学家李秀安预计,澳大利亚储备银行(RBA)将在2026年第四季度之前将现金利率维持在4.10%,此前3月份因伊朗相关的能源冲击和强劲的劳动力市场而出现分歧决定加息。该行的基本预期是暂停加息,但警告称持续的通胀和能源驱动的二次效应仍可能引发另一次加息。
European Central Bank (ECB) President Christine Lagarde signaled at the ECB and its Watchers conference at Goethe University in Frankfurt during European trading hours on Wednesday that the central bank is ready for monetary policy adjustments if inflation proves stronger.
欧洲央行(ECB)行长克里斯蒂娜·拉加德在周三欧洲交易时段于法兰克福歌德大学举行的欧洲央行及其观察者会议上表示,如果通胀表现更强,央行已准备好调整货币政策。
Commerzbank’s Thu Lan Nguyen notes that EUR/USD has rebounded about two cents from its recent low near 1.14, driven mainly by Euro strength while the Dollar trades sideways.
华侨银行策略师沈慕祥和黄志伟指出,油价上涨加剧了日本的贸易条件恶化、财政风险和政策不确定性,令日元(JPY)承压。他们仍预计日本央行(BoJ)将在四月加息,但维持2026年底美元/日元目标汇率为155,并警告随着地缘政治风险和能源依赖持续,汇率干预在接近160时变得更为可能。
黄金(XAU/USD)在欧洲时段前半段保持积极偏向,尽管仍低于本周三早些时候创下的约4600美元的周高点。此外,贵金属对地缘政治新闻高度敏感,随着投资者对持续冲突的进一步发展作出反应,预计波动性将保持较高水平。因此,在押注本周从技术上重要的200日简单移动均线(SMA)附近约4100美元的四个月低点强劲反弹延续之前,需保持一定谨慎。
德国商业银行(Commerzbank)阮秋兰(Thu Lan Nguyen)指出,欧元/美元自近期接近1.14的低点反弹了约两美分,主要受欧元走强推动,而美元则横盘整理。她认为此次反弹看起来脆弱,因为欧元区经济对能源冲击的风险敞口程度更高,且欧洲央行(ECB)加息预期相较于美国的经济状况和近期采购经理人指数(PMI)数据显得过于乐观。
