Market news – Week 1, September 2022

此前，美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔在杰克逊霍尔告诉交易者，美联储致力于加息并与通货膨胀作斗争，直到“完成任务”为止。 上周，金融市场似乎认真对待了这一警告。

连续第二周，EUR/USD 货币对在平价附近波动，尽管波动但无法找到方向，周末时以 $0.9954 收盘。 尽管增长乏力，但美国的宏观经济指标表明经济进展持续，缓解了美联储的一些负担。 Even though the Fed acknowledged that its macroeconomic policy negatively affects household and business expenses, it reaffirmed its commitment to taming inflation. 

According to EU policymakers, the European Central Bank (ECB) is likely to tighten the monetary policy more aggressively, leading traders to increase the odds of an ECB rate hike to 75 basis points in September. 这一消息导致政府债券利率飙升，同时整个欧洲的债券价格下跌。

与此同时，在 GBP/USD 方面，英国经济前景不佳继续影响本国货币，加上不断升级的能源和生活成本危机。

本周，欧洲央行官员将召开货币政策会议，交易者最终将得知欧洲央行是倾向于管理通胀还是保护脆弱的增长。 此外，值得期待的还有美联储主席杰罗姆·鲍威尔的讲话。

Commodities

Despite closing the week in red, gold found some relief on Friday, 2 September 2022. The yellow metal recovered most of its previous day's losses but replicated its lowest level in the last 2 months. 现货价格在周五创下新的日高，收于 $1,700 以上。

The dollar-denominated commodity found some strength due to 2 factors. 首先，美国美元在备受关注的美国就业报告发布前跌至二十年来的低点。 其次，美国国债收益率在非农就业报告发布后略微下跌，进一步支持了其增长。

黄金在本周末结束时略微超过其 $1,710 的阻力水平，使该价格成为新的支撑位。 With the next Fed Reserve's rate decision less than 3 weeks away, traders await the outcome as the US dollar will be impacted, exerting upward or downward pressure on gold.

Meanwhile, silver prices reversed from their lowest prices since July 2020 to reach $18.00 ahead of the US non-farm payroll results, snapping out of a five-day downtrend. 交易者对可能重新点燃美元上涨并影响 XAG/USD 的任何惊喜感到紧张。

Cryptocurrencies

加密货币市场经历艰难的一周，以主要币种在红盘中结束。 在美联储主席的鹰派言论之后，交易者似乎考虑到提高借贷利率将如何影响高风险资产。

Last week, Bitcoin prices kept hovering around the $20,000 level, with somewhat volatile jumps and dips that resemble an (ECG) electrocardiogram result. The average Bitcoin price last week was $20,001.72, which indicates that there was almost equal movement above and below the mean level. 

Having said that, at the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $19,905.52 and had stayed below the $20,000 mark throughout the weekend. 

与此同时，其他加密货币仍然动荡不堪。 Litecoin, Dogecoin, Cardano, and Dash have all experienced continued losses in the past month, except for a spike in mid-August. 

以太坊是上周表现突出的货币，目前交易价格略低于 $1,600 水平。 Its continued surge can be attributed to the anticipation of an upgrade to its blockchain software.

美国股市 

‍

Equity markets fell despite a remarkably stable jobs report on Friday, 2 September 2022. 道琼斯指数本周下降了 3%，纳斯达克下跌超过 4%。 S&P 500 指数本周下跌了 3.3%，过去三周下跌了 8.3%。 

Based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ non-farm payrolls report published on Friday, 2 September 2022, the US economy added 315,000 jobs in August. 这一数字刚好超过道琼斯的共识预测 295,000，而失业率上升至 3.7%，略高于预期的 3.5%。

虽然许多交易者表示就业报告令人鼓舞，但数据也让他们对美联储未来的前景感到警惕。 交易者仍然担心加息路径，许多人担心中央银行的大幅加息可能导致经济衰退。

本周，Apple将在2022年9月7日星期三举办年度产品发布会，随后美联储主席鲍威尔将于2022年9月8日星期四就未来货币政策发表讲话。
