黄金ETF流出77亿,但其净需求实际上正在增加?

jin10Опубліковано о 2024-03-22Востаннє оновлено о 2024-03-22

摩根大通的研究表明,尽管比特币被称为“数字黄金”,但美国比特币交易所交易基金(ETF)的迅速增长并未导致黄金ETF的资金流出。

据摩根大通,截至3月14日,即使考虑到全球最大的此类产品Grayscale比特币信托(GBTC)出现了大规模资金流出(流出金额达237亿美元),全球比特币ETF年内仍累计吸金106亿美元。

在美国首个现货比特币ETF推出后,市场需求激增。与此同时,尽管黄金价格一度升至每盎司2200美元的历史新高,黄金ETF却遭受了77亿美元的资金流出。

这种背离的资金流动引发了部分投资者正从实物黄金转向“数字黄金”的说法。然而,摩根大通的分析表明这一观点并不成立,同时也可能解释了为何在ETF投资者净卖出的情况下,黄金价格还能创下历史新高。

数据显示,黄金ETF的资金流出始于2022年4月,且并未因美国现货比特币ETF的兴起而加速。在此期间,总计约有460亿美元的资金撤出黄金ETF。

但世界黄金协会的数据表明,私人投资者(包括个人和家族企业)投入到金条和金币的资金远超这个数额——在2020年9月至2023年12月间总计流入了2290亿美元。

此外,随着全球央行愈发倾向于持有黄金作为外汇储备,央行也购买了1550亿美元的黄金。

摩根大通的全球市场策略师Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou指出:“黄金ETF的资金流出趋势并不能反映私人投资者对黄金的厌恶情绪,而是投资方式从实物黄金ETF向金条和金币的转变。

虽然世界黄金协会的数据只更新至年初,但Panigirtzoglou表示,即使面临现货比特币ETF的竞争,自今年1月以来,金条和金币的需求实际上可能还在加速。他将这一转变归因于新冠疫情触发的行为变化。

他解释道:“隐私性和实体性自疫情以来对私人投资者变得更加重要,在这方面,实物黄金ETF相较于持有金条和金币存在劣势,因为ETF的交易会被记录,其持有情况也被注册,因此缺乏隐私性”。

Panigirtzoglou说,“在一个假设的灾难性场景中,投资者试图通过购买黄金来对冲风险,此时,持有受对手方风险影响的ETF不如私下储存的实体黄金更具吸引力和安全性。”

对于央行而言,至少在某些情况下,对实物黄金的需求源于对不受西方制裁的风险影响。

摩根大通的分析还表明,今年对比特币的需求并非其ETF所显示的那么强劲,这进一步削弱了投资者正在从黄金转向比特币的说法。虽然比特币ETF年内净流入106亿美元,但根据加密数据公司Messari汇编的数据,自年初以来,投资者直接在交易所出售了价值60亿美元的比特币。

黄金和比特币的双双上涨似乎也都受到了动量交易者的驱动,这些机构在过去几个月里一直是与黄金和比特币的积极买家。

世界黄金协会的市场策略师Joe Cavatoni表示:“我们继续看到央行资金流入和场外(OTC)投资流量为正,这表明人们仍在继续投资黄金。

晨星公司北美被动策略研究总监布Bryan Armour大致同意上述观点,他表示:“我确信有一小部分投资者正在从黄金转向比特币,但在现实中,我不认为黄金ETF的资金流出与比特币ETF的资金流入之间存在关联,因为目前两者之间的互动有限,而且投资组合显示也是如此。”

Armour补充道:“黄金的净需求实际上正在增加,只是在ETF结构中的情况可能并非如此。”

Rented Faith: How Much of the Bitcoin ETF Inflows Is Real Money?

"Rented Conviction: How Much of Bitcoin ETF Flows Is Real Money" The weekly inflows into Bitcoin ETFs are often interpreted as a gauge of institutional belief. However, a significant portion of this activity is driven by a hidden arbitrage trade, not directional conviction. The core mechanism is a cash-and-carry arbitrage: traders buy spot Bitcoin (often via ETFs) while simultaneously shorting CME futures to lock in the price difference, or "basis." This delta-neutral trade is essentially an interest rate play. In weekly data, about half the fluctuation in ETF flows can be explained by new short positions added by leveraged funds (hedge funds), with a correlation of 0.70. Bitcoin's price movement in a given week shows no statistical power in predicting these flows. While this arbitrage trade drives weekly *volatility*, it is not the main component of the cumulative *stock*. Of the total ~$55 billion in net ETF inflows, the current net arbitrage position is only about $1 billion. The remainder is steady, directional buying averaging ~$400 million per week, which constitutes the vast majority of the accumulated "mountain" over two years. Thus, ETF flow data overstates the *volatility* of conviction, not its *level*. This arbitrage trade has been unwinding for nearly two years. Leveraged fund short positions peaked at ~$14 billion in late 2024 and have since declined to ~$4.5 billion. When the basis compresses to unprofitable levels, ETF inflows and short positions retreat together. Recent outflows should not be mistaken for a loss of faith but rather the routine unwinding of this rate trade. For Ethereum ETFs, the pattern is weaker. Accounting for staking yield makes the basis often negative, so neither strong conviction buying nor robust arbitrage supports its flows. To interpret ETF flows correctly, monitor the CME basis versus T-bill rates and leveraged fund net shorts. They reveal how much of the next "demand" headline is real. The real, patient buy-and-hold demand is what constitutes the enduring bulk of ETF assets.

Soaring Over Tenfold Within the Year: The Frenzy Over SK Hynix Leveraged Products

South China Morning Post The leveraged ETF tracking SK Hynix has surged over tenfold year-to-date, fueled by intense market speculation on the memory chip sector. By June 22, the value of the 'South Korea 2x Long SK Hynix ETF' listed in Hong Kong had skyrocketed by more than 1,061% since the start of the year, while its asset size exploded over twenty times from the end of last year. The rally is driven by AI-driven demand for high-bandwidth memory (HBM), with SK Hynix recently sampling its next-generation HBM4E product. However, industry professionals warn of significant risks. Leveraged ETFs magnify both gains and losses. During a recent market correction, while the underlying SK Hynix stock fell 19.1%, its double-leveraged ETF dropped nearly 38%. Korean regulators noted that such products could theoretically lose 60% in a single day. Additionally, these ETFs face risks like time decay in volatile markets, liquidity spirals during mass redemptions, and extreme price dislocations from market-making failures, as seen in early June when an ETF moved opposite to its underlying stock. The trading is predominantly driven by retail investors, with institutional capital largely absent due to the products' high volatility. Analysts caution that with the semiconductor sector at elevated valuations and facing geopolitical and supply chain uncertainties, leveraged ETFs pose a substantial threat of amplified losses for uninformed investors.

18 Months, Over 50x Surge: KIOXIA's Epic Comeback

KIOXIA, a NAND flash memory giant, staged a dramatic comeback driven by AI demand. After a period of significant losses, a failed merger, and missed HBM opportunities, its 2024 IPO began modestly. However, fueled by explosive demand for AI data storage, its stock price skyrocketed over 50 times within 18 months, making it Japan's most valuable company, surpassing Toyota. Its Q1 FY2026 profit guidance soared 30-fold year-over-year, with 2026 NAND capacity already sold out. Key to its success is its 3D NAND technology, BiCS FLASH. As the inventor of NAND, KIOXIA advanced its technology through generations, reaching over 200 layers by 2023. Key innovations include CBA (CMOS directly Bonded to Array), which separately manufactures control circuits and memory arrays for better performance, and OPS (On Pitch Select Gate) to increase density. The company is now developing high-capacity packages like an 8TB solution stacking 32 dies. Looking beyond NAND, KIOXIA is exploring 3D DRAM with its OCTRAM technology, using oxide semiconductor transistors for ultra-low leakage to reduce power consumption. This fundamental research differs from HBM and represents a long-term bet to extend its 3D expertise from NAND into future DRAM architectures. KIOXIA's story highlights how technological assets and shifting market cycles can rapidly transform a company's fortunes. While questions remain about sustaining growth beyond the current AI boom, its resurgence demonstrates that in semiconductors, being down does not necessarily mean being out.

Market Trends in U.S. Stocks (June 23): Peak at Listing? SpaceX Loses Over $800 Billion in Three Days, Tech Stocks Experience Severe Internal Divergence

Stock Market Trends (June 23): Did SpaceX Peak at IPO? The company loses over $800 billion in market value in three days as a sharp divergence unfolds within the tech sector. SpaceX's post-IPO decline of over 20%, falling below its first-day close, reflects a swift market repricing. The catalyst is a clear shift in narrative from "AI platform potential" to concerns over rising capital costs, as its $8.57 billion IPO and subsequent $20 billion debt offering are earmarked for acquisitions and refinancing existing bridge loans rather than de-leveraging. While high-valuation tech stocks like Google, Meta, Amazon, and Microsoft faced pressure, Micron surged nearly 7% to a record high following a strategic supply deal with Anthropic for HBM and memory, highlighting robust, tangible demand in AI infrastructure. The broader market saw funds rotate into more defensive industrial and financial names. Macro factors included a dip in oil prices to a three-month low on news of a US-Iran framework deal, though logistical hurdles for resuming full Strait of Hormuz shipments remain. Key events ahead include Nvidia's shareholder meeting, Micron's earnings, and the May PCE inflation data. The latter will be crucial in determining whether the sell-off in high-valuation growth stocks, which appears to have just begun, will persist.
