國際時事跟讀 Ep. L052: Trump's Gold Tariff Confusion Rocks Global Markets
Highlights 主題摘要
- US Customs ruled Swiss gold bars would face thirty-nine percent tariffs, surprising Wall Street traders completely.
- Gold prices surged to record highs before retreating when White House called reports misinformation.
- Trump clarified on Truth Social that gold would not face tariffs, ending market confusion.
The global gold market experienced unprecedented turmoil when US Customs issued a surprising July thirty-first ruling targeting Swiss gold bars. The agency declared that one kilogram and hundred-ounce imports would face reciprocal tariffs, completely blindsiding Wall Street traders who expected precious metals to remain exempt from duties. This ruling specifically targeted Switzerland, which faces Trump's highest tariff rate of thirty-nine percent among trading partners. Gold bullion serves as crucial backing for financial contracts traded on New York's Comex exchange, making this unexpected ruling particularly significant for American precious metals markets.
全球黃金市場在美國海關於7月31日發布針對瑞士金條的意外裁定後，經歷了前所未有的動盪。該機構宣布一公斤和100盎司的進口將面臨對等關稅，這讓原本預期貴金屬將免於課稅的華爾街交易員完全措手不及。這項裁定特別針對瑞士，該國在所有貿易夥伴中面臨川普最高的39%關稅稅率。黃金作為在紐約商品交易所交易的金融合約的重要擔保，使得這項意外裁定對美國貴金屬市場格外重要。

A thirty-nine percent tariff would significantly increase costs for importing bullion into America. Traders worried about navigating complex new import duties on such a fundamental commodity, fearing operational disruptions.
當下市場立即反應，黃金期貨週四飆升超過1%，達到每金衡盎司3500美元以上的歷史新高。這個貴金屬今年已經上漲31%，因為投資人在貿易不確定性中尋求避險資產。然而，潛在的關稅引起了嚴重的供應鏈擔憂，因為瑞士擁有全世界大部分的黃金精煉產能。39%的關稅將大幅增加向美國進口金條的成本。交易員擔心在如此基礎的商品上處理複雜的新進口關稅，擔心會造成營運中斷。
Industry experts quickly recognized the potentially devastating impact on global precious metals markets. UBS strategists warned that tariffs would create significant costs for traders who rely on importing gold to settle financial contracts. The Swiss Precious Metals Association expressed concern about implicati
