美元續跌 市場緊抓聯儲減息希望




美元持續下跌 市場仍寄望美聯儲降息

截至8月15日止一周,美元持續走弱,主要受到市場對美聯儲降息的強烈預期、消費者物價增長溫和、地緣政治緊張緩和,以及貿易關稅不確定性減退的影響。

美元兌多種貨幣均出現下跌,包括歐元、英鎊及日圓,但對澳元保持穩定。美元對瑞士法郎和瑞典克朗走弱,對加元則有所走強。衡量美元兌六種主要貨幣的美元指數下跌不到0.5%。

美元指數由8月8日的98.18點,於一周內下跌0.34%,週一曾升至99.32的周高點,但到週四跌至97.63的周低點,最終回升並以97.85收市。

週初,美元因市場擔憂消費者物價通脹高於預期,可能削弱9月降息的理由而走強。但美中雙方週一宣布將貿易休戰期限延長90天,雖為市場帶來舒緩,但對美元走勢影響有限。

美國勞工統計局週二公布數據顯示,7月消費者物價年增率維持在2.7%,低於市場預期的2.8%,核心通脹則由6月的2.9%升至3.1%,略高於市場預期的3%。月度通脹率下降至0.2%,核心通脹則上升至0.3%。儘管通脹仍高於美聯儲的舒適區間,市場因上週勞動市場數據疲軟,仍預期9月將降息,令美元承壓。

週四公布的生產者物價數據顯示,7月生產者價格及核心生產者價格環比均上升0.9%,為2022年6月以來最大增幅,遠超預期的0.2%,短暫提振美元。但週五零售銷售數據僅增0.5%,符合預期,且市場對美俄在阿拉斯加會晤的前景存疑,拖累美元情緒。美元指數最終一周內仍下跌0.34%。

隨著美元走弱及東歐地緣政治緊張緩和,歐元兌美元在該周升值0.5%,由週一低位1.1590升至週三高位1.1731,最終以1.1698收市。英鎊亦因失業率穩定及GDP月增強勁,兌美元升值0.75%,由1.3451升至1.3552。澳元受澳洲央行將現金利率削減25個基點至3.6%影響,兌美元下跌0.29%,由0.6526跌至0.6507。

美元兌日圓走弱,該周下跌0.36%,由147.73跌至147.20,期間最高達148.54。日本第二季度GDP季增0.3%,超出預期,對日圓形成支持。

市場現正等待週三公布的美聯儲會議紀要及週末的傑克森霍爾研討會,以期獲得美聯儲利率策略的進一步指引。美元指數現時約為98.05,略高於週五收市的97.85。

在美元回升背景下,歐元兌美元微跌0.16%至1.1679,英鎊兌美元下跌0.09%至1.3540,澳元兌美元跌至0.6496,美元兌日圓則回升至147.73。

評論與分析

這篇報導反映出目前市場對美聯儲貨幣政策的高度關注及不確定性。儘管通脹數據存在上升壓力,但疲弱的勞動市場和地緣政治的緩和,使市場普遍預期美聯儲將在9月降息。這種矛盾的經濟指標,令美元走勢呈現波動性,反映投資者在尋找政策方向上的猶豫。

值得注意的是,美元指數的波動幅度雖不大,但對主要貨幣的影響卻顯著,尤其是歐元和英鎊的升值,顯示投資者對美國經濟前景的擔憂加深。澳洲央行的降息動作則進一步施壓澳元,突顯全球主要央行在應對經濟放緩時的政策分歧。

此外,地緣政治因素,特別是美俄會談和中美貿易談判的進展,對市場情緒仍有重要影響。這些非經濟因素在短期內可能加劇匯市波動,投資者需密切留意。

總括而言,美元的走勢已不再單純由經濟數據驅動,而是結合了政策預期和地緣政治風險。作為香港投資者,理解這種多維度影響,有助於在全球市場中作出更明智的資產配置決策。未來幾週,美聯儲的會議紀要及傑克森霍爾研討會將是關鍵觀察點,投資者應準備好應對可能的市場波動。
