尽管美股主要指数在11月上旬看似跌幅不大，但市场的表象之下，投机性资产的抛售潮正在上演。 11月以来，许多此前被散户热捧的股票遭遇重挫。高盛数据显示，追踪散户青睐股票的投资组合11月下跌了10%，正迈向2022年以来最差的单月 表现。与此同时，追踪"Meme股"的一只ETF市值蒸发了四分之一。 加密货币市场同样未能幸免。比特币价格七个月来首次推低至95000美元以下，总市值蒸发已超过1万亿美元。这场剧烈动荡正在严峻考验着散户 投资者的承受能力和投资信念。 币圈"信仰"动摇 RBC Capital Markets衍生品策略主管Amy Wu Silverman警告，风险在于散户群体长期以来"市场总是上涨"的集体信念可能开始动摇，因为损失正 集中在他们今年借以致富的那些股票上。 波动率飙升考验散户承受力 与大盘指数的相对平稳不同，11月的市场伤害具有高度的集中性，主要体现在散户投资者扎堆的投机性资产上。 动量股正在下跌，曾经备受追捧的AI概念交易也出现了剧烈逆转，这些都是本月市场亏损最深的领域。 据摩根大通数据，周四散户仅向美国股票投入6.52亿美元，这一数字仅处于过去一年的第24百分位。根据巴克莱股票兴奋指数的一 ...

迫于选民日益增长的物价压力，特朗普政府不得不调整贸易政策。 据央视新闻，当地时间11月14日周五，美国白宫公布总统特朗普签署的最新行政令，进一步调整"对等 关税"的适用范围，将部分农业产品排除在此前依据《对等关税行政令》所征收的附加关税之外。 上述豁免措施将减少这些大宗商品的贸易征税。这一行政令意味着，特朗普间接降低了牛肉、番茄、咖 啡和香蕉等农产品的关税，旨在降低美国民众购买日常商品的成本。 白宫表示，这些商品在美国国内无法以足够数量生产以满足需求。政府列出的豁免产品清单包括数百种 食品，涵盖椰子、坚果、牛油果和菠萝等。关税减免追溯至纽约时间11月13日凌晨起生效。 此举正值共和党在本月多场州和地方选举中失利，竞选对手强调了应对民生负担的政策主张。这也是对 特朗普关税政策给美国消费者增加价格压力的默认。CPI数据显示，9月美国消费者支付的咖啡价格较 上年同期上涨近20%。 咖啡价格同样大幅飙升。美国对巴西征收关税后，两国之间的贸易陷入停滞，期货市场最近创下新高。 据巴西行业组织Cecafé数据，在征税期间，美国对巴西咖啡豆的采购从8月到10月下降了50%以上。美 国国内咖啡产量微不足道，少数美国种植者也曾表 ...
