-- 週五,那斯達克指數和標普500指數均創下歷史新高,科技股領漲,交易員們對新一輪美伊和平談判抱持希望。 那斯達克指數上漲1.6%,收在24,836.6點;標普500指數上漲0.8%,收在7,165.1點,兩者均創下收盤新高。道瓊工業指數下跌0.2%,收在49,230.7點。科技股領漲,漲幅達2.5%,而醫療保健部門跌幅最大。 本週,那斯達克指數上漲1.5%,標普500指數上漲0.5%,連續第四週上漲。道瓊工業指數本週下跌0.4%。 BMO資本市場高級經濟學家羅伯特·卡夫西奇在一份報告中表示:“本週股市漲跌互現,波動性有所緩解,儘管仍存在諸多不確定性,但股票投資者似乎已將伊朗衝突拋諸腦後。” 卡夫西奇表示:“儘管存在貿易戰和伊朗衝突,但由於大規模人工智慧建設、強勁的生產力增長和穩健的盈利,市場仍在穩步走強。” 英特爾股價飆漲近24%,成為標普500指數中表現最佳的股票。週四晚些時候,這家晶片製造商公佈了第一季業績,超出預期,這主要得益於人工智慧驅動的對其產品需求。該公司對本季業績也發布了樂觀展望。 瑞銀證券在一份報告中指出,英特爾在財報發布後的評論表明,該公司2026年的營收潛力巨大。 其他幾家主要科技股也出現上漲。英偉達 (NVDA) 股價上漲 4.3%,領漲道瓊斯指數,亞馬遜 (AMZN) 緊隨其後,上漲 3.5%。 AMD 和高通 (QCOM) 的漲幅均達到兩位數,均位居標普 500 指數成分股前列。 Charter Communications (CHTR) 公佈的第一季利潤低於華爾街預期,原因是受住宅視訊和網路業務疲軟的影響,公司營收年減。該公司股價暴跌近 26%,成為標普 500 指數中跌幅最大的股票。 西德州中質原油價格下跌 0.5%,至每桶 95.33 美元,布蘭特原油價格上漲 1.3%,至每桶 106.44 美元。 白宮新聞秘書卡洛琳·萊維特週五表示,美國特使史蒂夫·威特科夫和賈里德·庫許納將於週六前往巴基斯坦,與伊朗舉行新一輪會談。 伊朗外交部長賽義德·阿巴斯·阿拉格奇已抵達巴基斯坦。 美國公債殖利率走低,10年期公債殖利率下跌2個基點至4.31%,2年期公債殖利率下跌6.3個基點至3.78%。 經濟新聞方面,密西根大學最終調查結果顯示,美國消費者信心指數較4月份的初步估計有所改善,但仍處於歷史低位,近期通膨預期錄得一年來最大單月增幅。 「伊朗衝突似乎主要透過衝擊汽油價格以及其他潛在價格來影響消費者觀點,」消費者調查主任喬安妮·許表示。 “相比之下,那些不能緩解供應限製或降低能源價格的軍事和外交進展不太可能提振消費者信心。” 奧本海默公司的一項調查顯示,由於汽油價格高企,約五分之三的美國消費者計劃削減非必需支出,其中大多數人正在考慮減少旅行和娛樂方面的支出。 黃金價格最新下跌0.1%,至每盎司4,721.70美元,白銀價格上漲0.5%,至每盎司75.85美元。
