银价一年内飙升70%还没涨完? 盛宝银行:若金价反弹 银价将更猛烈

FX168财经报社（香港）讯 银价往往因黄金而被忽视，但银价在过去一年飙升逾70%，大宗商品策略师表示，随着全球经济重新开放，银价的涨势可能还会继续。

对黄金需求在过去12个月里急剧上升。银价周五（5月14日）在27美元/盎司左右，较一年前的15.5美元/盎司上涨74%。相比之下，金价在一年内仅上涨6.4%。

从电子产品到摄影、珠宝和硬币，银是许多日常产品不可或缺的一部分。

自古以来，白银(27.32, 0.26, 0.95%)作为一种投资工具，被称作是“穷人的黄金”。

世界白银协会（Silver Institute）称，银的高导电性和耐用性使其在工业和技术上得到了广泛应用，几乎每台电脑、手机、汽车和电器都含有银。该协会的数据显示，到目前为止，2021年白银处于供不应求状态。

盛宝银行（Saxo Bank）商品策略主管Ole Hanson表示，对银的需求有50%是工业需求，其余的来自投资者。他并称，在工业上的应用是推动银价近期升值的主要原因之一。

Hanson说道：“工业需求可能是我们看到白银表现优于黄金的主要原因，就像过去一年那样。银价上涨的部分原因肯定是工业金属的价格一直在上涨。看看铜价吧，自去年触及低点以来，已经上涨了一倍多。”

Hanson表示，其他因素也推动了银价的上涨，例如向绿色技术的转变，刺激了对工业金属（如用于太阳能电池板生产的银）的需求上升。

去年央行和政府的大规模刺激措施也加剧了人们对通胀的担忧，黄金等贵金属被视为对冲价格上涨和美元贬值风险的工具。周三，美国官方公布的4月份消费者物价指数（CPI）年率上涨4.2%，增幅超出市场预期。

Hanson指出，假如金价反弹，银价也会反弹，甚至更强劲。所以大多数白银投资者可能都在密切关注金价、美元汇率和利率水平。

尽管通胀可能被视为对这些贵金属有利，但市场观察人士也将密切关注旨在控制价格上涨的货币政策收紧状况。

银价仍远低于2011年创下的纪录高位，当时银价几乎达到50美元/盎司。不过，Hanson表示，长期来看，白银需求没有减弱的迹象。

他指出：“如果我们认真对待绿色转，那么这将继续吸引对白银的需求。”与此同时，银的供应（通常在挖矿其它金属的过程中提取）可能仍将受到限制。

Hanson补充道：“如果能抓住一些合适的顺风，那么白银实际上可能比其他金属涨得更高更快。”

安本标准投资公司（Aberdeen Standard Investments）交易所交易产品主管Steven Dunn表示，黄金价格最近突破1800美元/盎司，可能是今年下半年金价更**动的开始，这可能会将金价推回到2000美元/盎司。

投资者要选择的不仅仅是黄金。Dunn表示，他也极其看好白银。他认为，白银仍有强劲的工业需求，并受益于全球推动清洁可再生能源的发展。

Dunn并指出，白银今年的表现料将强于大盘。
