伦敦 – 由于美元指数在非农就业数据之后上涨推动一些交易员获利回吐，黄金在连续2天大涨接近1000美元之后，平息至每盎司990美元之下。但是分析师说，黄金价格一方面受避险支撑另一方面受通货膨胀担忧支撑，维持在周四收盘价位，并可能进一步上涨。在本周初股市下滑导致买盘推升黄金突破关键技术阻力后，黄金价格周四晚上涨至6个月高点每盎司997.20美元。现货黄金于1502GMT为每盎司987.20美元，周四纽约价格为990.10美元。黄金价格接近2008年3月高点1030.80美元。“黄金独立发展”，Calyon公司的分析师Robin Bhar说。“数据对黄金既不看涨也不看跌，可能是看平。但是我们已经经历了一轮很好的上涨，我们在3天中收益40美元，所以人们在获利回吐。”受黄金上涨推动，银价格也在周四达到自2008年8月来最坚挺价位16.26美元之后维持在每盎司16美元之上。黄金受益于经济复苏的不确定性，而看跌复苏的投资者购买黄金以避险，而认为经济复苏可持续的投资者购买黄金对冲通货膨胀。黄金上市交易基金存量上升，而最大的纽约SPDR黄金信托自3月来报最大幅单日存量上涨。

Gold slips below $990 after US jobs data

LONDON (Agencies) Gold eased below $990 an ounce after a two-day rally that took the market to within a whisker of $1,000, as an uptick in the dollar index after U.S. non-farm payrolls data prompted some traders to cash in gains. But prices remain well-supported near Thursday's close by risk aversion on the one hand and inflation fears on the other, and could be poised for further gains, analysts say. The precious metal rallied to a six month high of $997.20 an ounce late on Thursday after a slide in stock markets earlier in the week pushed the metal through key technical resistance levels on price charts, triggering buy orders. Spot gold was bid at $987.20 an ounce at 1502 GMT (11:02 a.m. EDT), compared with $990.10 late in New York on Thursday. Prices remain within sight of the $1,030.80 high hit in March 2008. "Gold is holding its own," said Calyon analyst Robin Bhar. "The data is not bullish or bearish for gold, it is probably neutral. But we have had a good run, we have gained $40 in three days, so people are taking some money off the table." Silver also held above $16 an ounce after hitting its firmest level since August 2008 on Thursday at $16.26, boosted by gains in gold. Gold is benefiting from uncertainty over the strength of the economic recovery, with investors who see the recovery faltering buying the metal as a haven from risk, while those who believe it is sustainable choose the metal as an inflation hedge. Buying of gold exchange-traded funds picked up, with holdings of the largest, New York's SPDR Gold Trust, posting the biggest one-day percentage rise since March.
