2026年年初，华尔街投资者风险偏好升至高位，现金持有量创下历史新低，对冲配置显著减少。随着AI技术应用加速落地，市场逻辑发生转变：AI不再被 视为稳赚投资主题，反而引发对软件、财富管理、经纪、税务咨询等轻资产、白领行业被替代的担忧，相关板块估值快速重定价，并冲击私募债务市场。 本周（2.9-2.13）市场震荡加剧，标普500指数一度跌至去年11月以来低位，周五受温和通胀数据推动反弹，AI颠覆恐慌持续在各市场传导。贵金属与加密货 币波动显著，黄金周内一度跌破5000美元后反弹收高，白银单日波动幅度达11%，垃圾债券与投资级债券利差扩大至数月高点，热门交易普遍跑输冷门资 产。 美国银行1月份调查显示，投资者现金仓位降至3.2%的历史低位，近半数基金经理未配置下行保护，为2018年以来最低水平。叠加跨资产杠杆关联网络放大 波动，单一资产抛售易引发连锁反应，加剧市场调整。能源、必需消费品、美国国债等此前被冷落的品种成为年内领涨资产，年初市场共识快速失效。 马尔伯勒投资管理公司投资组合经理James Athey表示，当前市场最大风险在于更多波动冲击事件，各类资产相关性走高，单一资产抛售可能引发全市场联 动调整。22V ...

自2025年4月美国宣布关税政策以来，美国资产市场持续波动，引发市场对美国全球经济与金融主导地位松动的担忧。尽管后续多项关税被取消，但标普500 指数表现仍不及国际同类指数，衡量美元的指标自2024年底以来累计下跌10%。 【环球网财经综合报道】据彭博社等外媒报道，美国银行策略师Michael Hartnett近日表示，受美国贸易政策影响，全球投资者正在减持美元与美国股票，转 向配置国际资产。 Michael Hartnett在报告中表示，美国政府相关政策催生全新的"除美元之外的所有资产"（anything but dollar），美国在全球金融市场的特殊地位正在转变， 全球再平衡进程加快。这一趋势或将提振国际股市，新兴市场大宗商品生产商有望从人工智能需求增长中受益，同时投资者对中国、印度市场配置相对不 足。 资金流向数据印证上述判断。美国银行援引EPFR Global数据显示，今年以来，欧洲、日本及其他国际发达市场股票基金合计吸引1040亿美元资金流入，远 超美国股票基金250亿美元的流入规模。 Michael Hartnett自2024年底持续看好国际股票，其判断得到市场验证。同期，标普500指数上涨15 ...

近日，浙江杭州22岁的网络主播小江（化名），因为需要长时间直播带货，保持精致持久的妆容，故每 天两次使用定妆喷雾。在坚持了近半年后，因此住进了医院。 22岁主播天天喷定妆喷雾 不幸患肺炎 据介绍，小江就诊时高烧超过40℃，血常规检查显示白细胞、中性粒细胞、CRP（C-反应蛋白）均明显 升高，嗜酸性粒细胞也显著偏高。 所幸，在接受对症治疗三天后，小江的血常规指标恢复正常，肺部炎症也快速吸收。 挥发性化学成分 可能诱发不良反应 医生提醒，定妆喷雾和夏季常用的防晒喷雾原理相似，产品中含有大量挥发性化学成分，这些物质被吸 入后，可直接作用于肺部细胞，造成细胞损伤。 临床上，轻症患者可能只出现咳嗽、咳痰、喘息等症状；若易感人群短期内大量吸入这类致敏性物质， 就可能诱发过敏性肺炎，严重时甚至发展为呼吸衰竭，必须高度重视。 不止定妆喷雾，杀虫剂、空气清新剂等各类化学喷雾制剂，使用时都可能让人体不慎吸入含挥发性有机 物。 编辑：王 丹 校对：任鑫恚 审核：苏 芳 胸部CT进一步显示，她的双肺出现多发斑片状模糊影，被诊断为间质性肺炎。医生判断，病因很可能 与她近期长期接触的某类物质相关。经过反复细致地询问病史，小江才说出自己长 ...
