黄金仍然值得投资吗?

2023.09.11 在经历了今年的火热开局之后,尽管高通胀和熊市等通常的支撑因素保持不变,但近几个月黄金的表现有所减弱。 今年迄今为止,现货黄金仅小幅上涨 6%,与我们 5 月份看到的两位数回报率和接近历史高位相比,这是相当低迷的。与据称疲软的股市相比,这也相当平淡。例如,标准普尔 500 指数今年迄今的涨幅为 16.1%。纳斯达克指数甚至更好,为 27%。 显然,在此过程中发生了一些事情,使得黄金不再像以前那样有利可图。现在引出了一个问题:金条是否仍然是一项有价值的投资,或者其受欢迎程度是否有所下降。 坦率地说,答案取决于我们正在讨论的投资组合类型以及投资的时间框架。正如 Investopedia […]

美国软着陆势头增强,不出现衰退

2023.09.08 不久前,我们暗示美联储可能能够实现其传说中的“软着陆”,而从目前美国经济的发展情况来看,这一预测看起来相当精明。 正如我们在之前的文章中详述的那样,线索一直存在:作为经济活动很大一部分驱动力的美国大公司正在赚取巨额利润,这意味着更高的就业率和消费者的可支配收入。 仅仅通过提高价格来适应通胀主题,不断上升的利率除了提高利润外什么也没做。事实上,利息支付占税后利润的百分比实际上处于 60 年来的最低水平!因此,标普 500 指数收复了 2022 年熊市一半以上的损失也就不足为奇了,而且正如华尔街所声称的那样,现在正处于牛市。 正如我们之前多次讨论过的,央行不能仅仅因为无力承担而继续加息(请注意,目前美国联邦债务的年度支付额为 32.6 万亿美元,即将达到 […]

采矿业面临另一个荒废的十年

2023.09.06 与任何其他行业一样,采矿业在过去十年中也经历了相当多的问题,影响了其整体声誉和效率。 现在面临着为全球能源转型提供足够矿物的艰巨挑战,该行业必须深入挖掘——无论是字面上还是隐喻上——以提高其绩效。 但问题的根源是多方面的,阻力来自各个方面。关键问题包括全球技能短缺、环境和人权问题以及资金的可用性和使用。 在这些问题得到解决之前,采矿业的价值将无法最大化,并且该行业可能在未来十年遭受同样的命运。 下面,我们将探讨采矿业长期可持续发展的每一个主要障碍,以及该行业已经(或尚未)采取哪些措施来减轻这些风险。 关键技能差距 采矿业面临的最大挑战之一是劳动力老龄化和后继人才缺乏造成的技能差距日益扩大。 科罗拉多矿业学院研究和技术转让副总裁沃尔特·科潘 (Walter Copan) 表示,采矿业正面临着严重的技能差距,再加上即将到来的预期退休人数方面的所谓“灰色海啸”,情况更加严重。 德勤今年早些时候发布的一项研究显示,近 […]
