由于美联储预计经济增长速度和通货膨胀率较高

由于美联储预计经济增长速度较慢，通货膨胀率较高，因此黄金价格达到了历史最高的高度，从而提高了对避风港的需求。

由于美联储预计经济增长和通货膨胀率较高，因此金价在周三飙升至新鲜高点，从而提高了对安全资产的需求。

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.

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.

中央银行将利率保持不变，并将2025 GDP增长预测从2.1％降低到1.7％，从而助长了黄金的进一步增长。

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.

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.

乐观的经济前景和增加消费者价格的潜力支持了周三早期交易的美元，这为美联储在今年晚些时候提高了最终利率。

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.

在上一届会议中缩放了七个月的高点102.04之后，绿色的绿色上升了0.1％，至101.86。随着交易者对美联储7月会议的几分钟做出反应，它也在一夜之间上涨了0.4％，这表明，“绝大多数”政策制定者仍然认为今年需要进一步提高利率。

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.

周二发布的会议记录表明，尽管通货膨胀率最近减轻，美联储官员在很大程度上同意将货币政策保持在很长时间的时间里足够严格是谨慎的。

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.

周二发布的会议记录表明，尽管通货膨胀率最近有所减轻，但美联储官员在很大程度上同意最好将货币政策保持在长期内足够严格。

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，美联储在今年晚些时候最终提高利率的可能性在很大程度上被定价为市场，这可能限制了任何显着的美元收益。

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，重点仍然放在美元指数上，该指数衡量了针对一篮子主要货币的绿色指数。该指数现已接近自2023年3月以来的最高水平。

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.

今年美元的出色表现可以归因于几个关键因素。美国与其他主要经济体之间的货币政策差异（例如欧元区和日本）一直是主要驱动力。

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.

随着美联储逐渐提高了打击通货膨胀的利率，日本银行和欧洲中央银行选择了更加虔诚的方法，从而使利率长期降低。货币政策的这种差异自然导致对美元的需求增加，并减少了对其他线兹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，美国最近的经济数据令人惊讶地具有弹性，进一步支持了美元。值得注意的是，尽管利率上升的速度迅速，但劳动力市场仍然非常强劲，而消费者支出占经济活动的大部分，但仍保持健康。

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

这种乐观的经济前景和增加消费者价格的潜力支持了周三早期交易的美元。

尽管最近经济下滑，但比特币迄今为止经历了出色的一年，这表明了作为潜在投资工具的希望。今年早些时候，三月份，比特币达到了29,275美元的14个月高点，几乎触及了30,000美元。

However, the cryptocurrency's rally was short-lived as it encountered resistance at the 2022 highs, leading to a decline of about 10% from the March peaks.

但是，加密货币的集会是短暂的，因为它在2022年的高点遇到了阻力，导致3月峰值下降了约10％。
