Gold is trading near the $1,830 an ounce level as the U.S. pending home sales surprised on the downside in June.
由於美國 6 月待售房屋銷售意外下滑，黃金交易價格接近每盎司 1,830 美元。
The U.S. pending home sales were down 1.9% in June following May’s upwardly revised increase of 8.3%, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) said on Thursday. The consensus forecast called for an advance of 0.3%.
美國全國房地產經紀人協會 (NAR) 週四表示，繼 5 月向上修正後的增長 8.3% 之後，美國 6 月待售房屋銷售下降 1.9%。共識預測要求上漲 0.3%。
The pending home sales index was at 112.8 in June after registering 115 in the previous month. On an annual basis, pending home sales were also down 1.9% from June 2020.
6 月份待售房屋銷售指數為 112.8，上月為 115。按年度計算，待售房屋銷售也比 2020 年 6 月下降了 1.9%。
Record-high home prices are weighing on the consumer sentiment, said Lawrence Yun, NAR's chief economist.
NAR 首席經濟學家勞倫斯·雲 (Lawrence Yun) 表示，創紀錄的高房價正在打壓消費者信心。
"Buyers are still interested and want to own a home, but record-high home prices are causing some to retreat," said Yun. "The moderate slowdown in sales is largely due to the huge spike in home prices. The Midwest region offers the most affordable costs for a home and hence that region has seen better sales activity compared to other areas in recent months."
“買家仍然有興趣並希望擁有一套房子，但創紀錄的高房價正在導致一些人撤退，”雲說。“銷售溫和放緩主要是由於房價大幅上漲。中西部地區的房屋成本是最實惠的，因此與其他地區相比，該地區近幾個月的銷售活動更好。”
Pending home sales were the strongest in the Midwest, rising 0.6%. The index also rose 0.5% in the Northeast.
中西部地區的待售房屋銷售最為強勁，增長 0.6%。該指數在東北地區也上漲了 0.5%。
Economists pay close attention to the pending home sales numbers because the index is seen as a forward-looking barometer for the housing market. A lag of a month or two usually exists between a contract and a completed sale.
經濟學家密切關注未決房屋銷售數據，因為該指數被視為房地產市場的前瞻性晴雨表。合同和完成銷售之間通常存在一兩個月的滯後。
Following the data release, gold edged up to daily highs, approaching the $1,830 an ounce level. August Comex gold futures were last at $1,827.60, up 1.55% on the day.
數據發布後，黃金小幅上漲至日內高位，接近每盎司 1,830 美元的水平。 8 月 Comex 黃金期貨最新報 1,827.60 美元，當日上漲 1.55%。
