路透纽约10月7日 – 美元兑一篮子货币周四持稳，周五将公布的美国劳动力市场数据可能为美国联邦储备委员会(美联储/FED)下一步行动的时机提供线索。大多数主要货币对陷于近期区间内交投，交易员不愿在数据公布前大举押注。支付公司Caxton的高级分析师Michael Brown表示：“今天的市场是相当典型的非农就业数据公布前的沉闷。”美元指数持平于94.199，距离上周触及的一年高位94.504不远。Brown称，“我认为，在就业报告出炉之前，我们可能会一直像这样陷于区间，但即便到那时，考虑到11月缩减量化宽松看起来近乎确定，美元的任何疲势都应该会消退。”随着从大流行危机政策转变的势头增强，美联储已表示，可能最早在11月开始减少每月的债券购买，之后将加息。路透调查显示，将于周五公布的非农就业数据预计将显示劳动力市场持续改善，9月料新增45.5万个就业岗位。“美国稳步改善的劳动力市场和稳健的经济增长应该会为美联储开始缩减量化宽松计划开绿灯。”瑞银全球财富管理首席投资官Mark Haefele在一份报告中表示。美国银行全球研究的外汇策略师在一份报告中表示，在非农就业报告公布后的一周，美元往往会扭转自报告发布当天以来的大部分涨幅或跌幅。美国上周初请失业金人数有所下降，但9月裁员人数从24年低位回升，部分原因是医院解雇未接种疫苗的员工，以及缺乏工人迫使一些设施关闭。英镑上涨0.3%，因全球风险情绪略有改善，分析师表示，英国央行加息的前景降低了英镑的一些下行潜力。比特币从周三触及的近五个月高位55,800美元回落，盘尾报约54,040.48美元。（完）for-phone-onlyfor-tablet-portrait-upfor-tablet-landscape-upfor-desktop-upfor-wide-desktop-upContinue Reading

路透班加罗尔10月7日 – 原油期货周四反弹，因市场认为美国不太可能释放紧急原油储备或禁止出口以缓解供应紧张。布兰特原油期货上涨0.87美元，收报每桶81.95美元，涨幅1.1%；美国原油上涨0.87美元，收报每桶78.30美元，涨幅1.1%。稍早，这两大指标原油合约均下跌了2美元/桶。美国能源部周四表示，“正在考虑所有工具”，以应对市场能源供应紧张的状况。目前外界猜测美国政府是否在考虑动用其战略石油储备(SPR)，或者寻求禁止石油出口，以降低原油价格。同时，美国总统拜登的国家安全顾问周四敦促能源供应国增加供应，以满足需求。他说，美国对他们未能做到这一点感到担忧。美国偶尔也会动用其战略储备，通常是在飓风或其他供应中断之后。然而，自2015年结束长达40年的原油出口禁令以来，该国已成为一个重要的出口国，从未提出削减出口。本周早些时候，石油输出国组织(OPEC)及其盟友(OPEC+)同意仅逐步提高产量，将原油价格推高至多年来的高点。由于全球供应紧张，中国等主要进口市场的需求在新冠疫情后恢复得比预期更快，油价一直在稳步上涨。荷兰国际集团分析师Warren Patterson在一份报告中称，“短期内石油市场趋紧，这意味着油价在年底前仍将受到良好支撑。”(完)for-phone-onlyfor-tablet-portrait-upfor-tablet-landscape-upfor-desktop-upfor-wide-desktop-upContinue Reading
