美伊停火延長牽動通膨預期,黃金價格在連兩日下跌後反彈

美伊延長停火但荷姆茲海峽僵局未解,能源風險抬升使布蘭特油價突破100美元,推升通膨預期。現貨黃金在連跌後回穩,報約4,733美元,ETF資金連續三週流入,顯示避險需求與基本面支撐。高槓桿成交下降、籌碼沉澱,機構動態調整黃金權重;若逼近4,850美元可能出現獲利賣壓,市場短線或震盪。

Iran Seizes Two Container Ships in Strait of Hormuz Amid Ceasefire Tensions

Iran seized two container ships near Hormuz, escalating tensions amid a ceasefire extension; oil rose as Tehran rejected U.S. talks and denounced European silence. Abstract: Gate News reports that Iran seized two container ships, MSC-FRANCESCA and EPAMINODES, in the Strait of Hormuz, citing violations of maritime regulations and unauthorized operations. The first incident occurred at 8:38 a.m. UTC about eight nautical miles off Iran's coast, and a second around 5:47 a.m. London time about 15 miles northeast of Oman, with a third vessel reportedly hit. The seizures coincide with Trump's ceasefire extension and coincidently sent Brent and WTI crude higher. Goldman Sachs' Daan Struyven said the ceasefire extension reduces the probability of major disruption to global energy infrastructure, though shocks remain. Diplomatically, Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi stated Iran has "no plans" to negotiate with the U.S., condemned European silence over what it calls unlawful U.S. and Israeli attacks, and described the blockade of Iranian ports as "an act of war" while deeming the seizure a greater violation.
