U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen announced Thursday an agreement by 130 countries to support a global minimum tax on corporations.
美國財政部長珍妮特·葉倫 (Janet Yellen) 週四宣布，130 個國家同意對全球企業徵收最低稅。
“Today’s agreement by 130 countries representing more than 90 percent of global GDP is a clear sign: the race to the bottom is one step closer to coming to an end,” Yellen said in a statement.
葉倫在一份聲明中說：“今天代表全球 GDP 90% 以上的 130 個國家達成的協議是一個明確的跡象：逐底競爭距離結束又近了一步。”
The global minimum tax has the potential to end the practice of the world’s largest corporations seeking out jurisdictions with the lowest tax rates and moving their headquarters there.
全球最低稅有可能結束世界上最大的公司尋求稅率最低的司法管轄區並將其總部遷往那裡的做法。
“For decades, the United States has participated in a self-defeating international tax competition, lowering our corporate tax rates only to watch other nations lower theirs in response. The result was a global race to the bottom: Who could lower their corporate rate further and faster? No nation has won this race,”Yellen said. “Lower tax rates have not only failed to attract new businesses, they have also deprived countries of funding for important investments like infrastructure, education, and efforts to combat the pandemic. In the United States, this agreement will ensure that corporations shoulder a fair share of that burden.”
“幾十年來，美國一直在參加一場自我挫敗的國際稅收競爭，降低我們的公司稅率只是為了看到其他國家降低他們的稅率。結果是一場全球競相逐底競爭：誰能進一步更快地降低公司利率？沒有一個國家贏得這場比賽，”葉倫說。“較低的稅率不僅未能吸引新企業，還剝奪了各國用於基礎設施、教育和抗擊大流行病等重要投資的資金。在美國，該協議將確保公司承擔公平的負擔。”
Yellen also noted that this is how U.S. President Joe Biden’s“foreign policy for the middle class”looks like in practice.
葉倫還指出，這就是美國總統喬拜登的“中產外交政策”在實踐中的樣子。
Biden’s“foreign policy for the middle class”looks at harnessing globalization, trade, human rights, and the military for the benefit of working Americans.
拜登的“中產階級外交政策”著眼於利用全球化、貿易、人權和軍隊來造福美國工人。
The released U.S. Treasury Secretary’s statement comes after OECD negotiations this week.
美國財政部長的聲明是在本周經合組織談判之後發布的。
Gold prices did not respond directly to the news amid an up and down trading session. Thin volumes add to the volatility as Canadian markets are closed for Canada Day, and American markets are gearing up for the Fourth of July weekend.
在上下交易時段中，黃金價格沒有直接對這一消息做出反應。由於加拿大市場因加拿大國慶日休市，而美國市場正在為 7 月 4 日週末做準備，交易量清淡加劇了波動性。
August Comex gold futures were last trading at $1,770.90 an ounce, down 0.04% on the day after rising to daily highs of above $1,780 an ounce earlier in the session.
8 月 Comex 黃金期貨最後交易價格為每盎司 1,770.90 美元，在盤中早些時候升至每盎司 1,780 美元以上的每日高點後，當日下跌 0.04%。
“The bulls are constrained by bearish near-term technical charts and a lack of risk aversion in the marketplace as the second half of 2021 begins,” said Kitco’s senior analyst Jim Wyckoff. “Lazy summertime trading continues in the world equity markets, amid no major geopolitical flare-ups and generally upbeat trader and investor attitudes. Traders and investors are so far not paying much attention to the delta strain of the Covid-19 virus that is becoming more problematic in Asian countries and other regions of the world.”
Kitco 的高級分析師 Jim Wyckoff 表示：“隨著 2021 年下半年的開始，多頭受到看跌的近期技術圖表和市場缺乏避險情緒的限制。” “在沒有重大的地緣政治突發事件以及交易員和投資者普遍樂觀的態度下，全球股票市場的夏季交易仍在繼續。迄今為止，交易員和投資者並未過多關注 Covid-19 病毒的 delta 病毒株，這種病毒在亞洲國家和世界其他地區變得越來越嚴重。”
