-- （更新價格。） 週四午後，金價走弱，在5,000美元下方區間震盪，高企的油氣價格威脅通膨和利率。 5月交割的黃金期貨價格下跌15.40美元，至每盎司4,808.20美元。 由於美以對伊朗的戰爭導致霍爾木茲海峽關閉，波斯灣國家每日20%的石油和液化天然氣需求無法進入市場，金價遠低於1月29日創下的5354.80美元的歷史高點，推高了金價，並可能再次引發通膨。 美國總統川普威脅稱，如果聯準會主席鮑威爾在5月15日任期結束後繼續留任，他將解僱鮑威爾，這威脅也再次令市場感到不安。鮑威爾打算留任，直到他的繼任者凱文沃什獲得參議院確認。川普表示，如果鮑威爾任期屆滿後仍繼續留任，他將設法解僱鮑威爾。 「包括黃金在內的許多市場都瀰漫著這種情緒。由於戰爭懸而未決，停火協議也岌岌可危，通膨壓力依然巨大，令人擔憂。此外，鑑於川普總統再次就解僱鮑威爾發表評論，我們認為，這種普遍的不確定感預示著黃金價格即將迎來利好。」加拿大皇家銀行資本市場（RBC Capital Markets）黃金和天然氣策略師克里斯托弗（Christopherney Louney）寫道。 美元指數走高，ICE美元指數最新上漲0.22點至98.27。美國公債殖利率上升，兩年期公債殖利率最新報3.78%，上漲1.0個基點；十年期公債殖利率下跌2.3個百分點至4.311%。
