9月7日（彭博社）-- 由于一些投资者在黄金攀升至接近本年最高之后出售存货，黄金下跌，结束了连续4天的上涨。

黄金上周上涨了4.1%，是自4月来最大幅周度上涨，而美元指数下滑，反转了前周0.4%的上涨。

“在黄金价格接近1000美元水平后，获利回吐增大”，Jang Joong Shik，现代期货公司贵金属交易的主管在首尔说。“美元将持续疲软，并与通货膨胀问题一起推升黄金进一步上涨。”

立即交货的黄金下跌0.2%在新加坡上午9：19至每盎司992.55美元。黄金本年攀升了13%。

根据美国商品期货交易委员会（CFTC）数据，对冲基金经理与大型投机商于9月1日结束的一周中在纽约黄金期货市场增大了其净多头头寸。

CFTC在其交易员承诺报告中说，投机性多头头寸，或投注价格上升，在纽约商品交易所Comex分部超过空头头寸184501个合约。

“价格上涨是投机性的，但是黄金将暂时突破1000美元大关”。Eugen Weinberg，商业银行的高级分析师在一份9月4日的报告中说。“目前，缺乏足够基本面支撑以维持黄金价格继续上涨。”

根据该公司网站，最大的以黄金为抵押的上市交易基金，SPDR黄金信托的存量在9月4日下降0.38吨至1077.63吨。

在其它立即交货的金属中，银变动微小为每盎司16.22美元，铂金上涨0.4%至每盎司1259.50美元，而钯金没有变化为每盎司292.50美元。

Gold Drops, Ending Four-Day Gain as Investors Sell Near $1,000

By Kim Kyoungwha

Sept. 7 (Bloomberg) -- Gold fell, snapping a four-day advance, as some investors sold holdings after bullion surged close to the highest this year.

Bullion jumped 4.1 percent last week, the steepest weekly gain since April, as the Dollar Index declined, reversing a 0.4 percent advance the previous week.

“There is growing interest in profit-taking after gold neared the $1,000 level,” said Jang Joong Shik, head of precious metals trading with Hyundai Futures Co. in Seoul. “The dollar will keep a weak tone which, combined with inflationary concerns, will power a further rise in the metal.”

Gold for immediate delivery fell 0.2 percent to $992.55 an ounce at 9:19 a.m. in Singapore. The metal has advanced 13 percent this year.

Hedge-fund managers and other large speculators increased their net-long position in New York gold futures in the week ended Sep. 1, according to U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data.

Speculative long positions, or bets prices will rise, outnumbered short positions by 184,501 contracts on the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, the Washington- based commission said in its Commitments of Traders report.

“The price increase is of speculative nature, but gold will be able to temporarily break through the $1,000 mark,” Eugen Weinberg, a senior analyst with Commerzbank AG, wrote in a Sept. 4 note. “Currently, there is insufficient fundamental support to allow for a sustained rise beyond this level.”

Holdings in the SPDR Gold Trust, the biggest exchange- traded fund backed by bullion, fell 0.38 metric tons to 1,077.63 tons on Sept. 4, according to data on the company’s Web site.

Among other precious metals for immediate delivery, silver was little changed at $16.22 an ounce, platinum rose 0.4 percent to $1,259.50 an ounce and palladium was unchanged at $292.50 an ounce.
