储备银行喺之前嘅政策会议上都表示过,增长将恢复稳定,包括大宗商品的前景有改善。
好多时我地都会听到一啲分析话,因为供应在短期内受阻,价格会有支持。当然除左供应外,需求亦好紧要嘅,澳洲储备银行在八月公布的金融政策声明中,有两点就系关于需求。
第一点是国际经济发展,因为大宗商品需求与中国息息相关。2017年上半年中国国内生产总值轻微上升,主要由扩张性财政政策支持,当中有需求增长,特别是来自服务业的需求,工业的需求仍然好稳健,包括对钢材的需求,支持澳洲铁矿砂的出口。
中国需求增加亦刺激原材料价格上升,大宗商品价格兑一篮子货币,在去年升百分之 32,同期铁矿砂价格升百分之 15,两种主要类别嘅煤,焦煤同燃煤分别升百分之 72 同百分之 32。
声明值得留意嘅第二点,叫做「全球商品贸易回升」,呢度指嘅商品贸易,易包括一般制造业商品同大宗商品,储银留意到呢方面嘅活动自去年起上升,截至今年 5 月全年,在商品总价值上升百分之 9。
储银认为,贸易活动对经济状况非常敏感,当全球需求回升,贸易一定回复得比需求更快。
从图一可以睇到,贸易总价值在 2016 年急跌后又回升,储银认为,同旧年起环球经济增长回稳有关,当中以今年上半年嘅升幅尤其明显。

中国自 2016 年年中开始,重拾对澳洲矿产嘅需求,不单系澳洲,巴西同俄罗斯都同样受惠,从而带动全球商品价格回升,澳洲的贸易比价指数亦显著改善。
储银认为,多项嘅因素反映贸易增长会持续改善,细心睇,货运指数亦向好,全球经济增长喺未来几年,唔应该会太差。反映财长莫理逊最近对澳洲经济改善嘅预测,系基于事实嘅。
