由於美聯儲預計經濟增長速度和通貨膨脹率較高

由於美聯儲預計經濟增長速度較慢，通貨膨脹率較高，因此黃金價格達到了歷史最高的高度，從而提高了對避風港的需求。

Gold prices soared to fresh highs on Wednesday as the Federal Reserve projected slower economic growth and higher inflation, boosting demand for the safe-haven asset.

由於美聯儲預計經濟增長和通貨膨脹率較高，因此金價在周三飆升至新鮮高點，從而提高了對安全資產的需求。

What Happened: Spot gold hit $3,056 per ounce earlier in the day before retracing slightly. The yellow metal is up over 16.21% year-to-date.

發生了什麼：斑點黃金在稍作回收之前的第二天每盎司3,056美元。黃色金屬越來越多地超過16.21％。

The central bank kept the interest rates unchanged, and lowered 2025 GDP growth projections from 2.1% to 1.7%, fueling further gains for gold.

中央銀行將利率保持不變，並將2025 GDP增長預測從2.1％降低到1.7％，從而助長了黃金的進一步增長。

The rise has trickled down to physical gold-backed cryptocurrencies as well. Tether Gold and PAX Gold have gained 16.67% and 16.42% year-to-date.

崛起也滴落到了物理黃金支持的加密貨幣上。綠黃金和帕克斯黃金從迄今為止上漲了16.67％和16.42％。

These increases contrasted sharply with the performance of the rest of the cryptocurrency market.

The upbeat economic outlook and potential for increased consumer prices supported the dollar in early trading on Wednesday, setting the stage for a final interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve later in the year.

樂觀的經濟前景和增加消費者價格的潛力支持了周三早期交易的美元，這為美聯儲在今年晚些時候最終提高了利率。

The greenback advanced 0.1% to 101.86 after scaling a seven-month high of 102.04 in the previous session. It had also gained 0.4% overnight as traders reacted to minutes of the Fed’s July meeting, which showed that a "substantial majority" of policymakers still saw a need for further rate increases this year.

在上一屆會議中縮放了七個月的高點102.04之後，綠色的綠色上升了0.1％，至101.86。隨著交易者對美聯儲7月會議的幾分鐘做出反應，它也在一夜之間上漲了0.4％，這表明，“絕大多數”政策制定者仍然認為今年需要進一步提高利率。

The minutes, released on Tuesday, suggested that despite the recent softening in inflation, Fed officials were largely in agreement that it would be prudent to keep monetary policy sufficiently tight for an extended period.

週二發布的會議記錄表明，儘管通貨膨脹率最近減輕，美聯儲官員在很大程度上同意將貨幣政策保持在很長時間的時間裡足夠嚴格是謹慎的。

The minutes, released on Tuesday, suggested that despite the recent softening in inflation, Fed officials were largely in agreement that it would be best to keep monetary policy sufficiently tight for an extended period.

週二發布的會議記錄表明，儘管通貨膨脹率最近有所減輕，但美聯儲官員在很大程度上同意最好將貨幣政策保持在長期內足夠嚴格。

However, the possibility of a final interest rate hike by the Fed later this year was largely priced into the markets, potentially limiting any significant dollar gains.

但是，美聯儲在今年晚些時候最終提高利率的可能性在很大程度上被定價為市場，這可能限制了任何顯著的美元收益。

Instead, the focus remained on the U.S. dollar index, which measures the greenback against a basket of major currencies. The index is now approaching the highest level seen since March 2023.

取而代之的是，重點仍然放在美元指數上，該指數衡量了針對一籃子主要貨幣的綠色指數。該指數現已接近自2023年3月以來的最高水平。

The stellar performance of the dollar this year can be attributed to several key factors. The divergence in monetary policy between the U.S. and other major economies, such as the euro zone and Japan, has been a primary driver.

今年美元的出色表現可以歸因於幾個關鍵因素。美國與其他主要經濟體之間的貨幣政策差異（例如歐元區和日本）一直是主要驅動力。

As the Federal Reserve gradually raised interest rates to combat inflation, the Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank opted for a more dovish approach, keeping rates lower for an extended period. This divergence in monetary policy naturally led to increased demand for the dollar and reduced demand for other валюты.

隨著美聯儲逐漸提高了打擊通貨膨脹的利率，日本銀行和歐洲中央銀行選擇了更加虔誠的方法，從而使利率長期降低。貨幣政策的這種差異自然導致對美元的需求增加，並減少了對其他線茲ы的需求。

Moreover, the recent economic data from the U.S. has been surprisingly resilient, further supporting the dollar. Notably, despite the rapid pace of interest rate hikes, the labor market remains remarkably strong, and consumer spending, which accounts for the majority of economic activity, continues to be healthy.

此外，美國最近的經濟數據令人驚訝地具有彈性，進一步支持了美元。值得注意的是，儘管利率上升的速度迅速，但勞動力市場仍然非常強勁，而消費者支出佔經濟活動的大部分，但仍保持健康。

This optimistic economic outlook and potential for increased consumer prices supported the dollar in early trading on Wednesday.
