国际白银价格在经历剧烈波动后趋于平稳，但中国市场的供应紧张局面仍在持续，投资和工业需求正在消耗库存。 2月10日，国际现货白银价格横盘震荡于每盎司80美元，金银比也稳定于61倍附近。 （金银比近62倍，截至2月10日美股尾盘） 据彭博社报道，上海期货交易所近月白银合约溢价已飙升至创纪录水平，这一强烈的现货升水结构显示，市场对即期交割的白银存在强烈需求。 四川天府银行高级分析师Zhang Ting表示： 如此大的现货升水是由库存危机和可交割材料的耗尽驱动的。机构仍有继续挤压市场以获取利润的动机。 报道指出，上海期货交易所和上海黄金交易所指定仓库的白银库存已降至十多年来的最低水平。自去年12月下旬以来，为避免实物交割，空头不 得不持续向多头支付延期费，进一步凸显了市场现货的极端稀缺性。 分析师认为，这种紧张局面短期内难以缓解，除非冶炼厂能在即将到来的春节长假期间超常规提高产量。但传统上，春节往往是生产活动的淡 季。市场紧张态势预计将持续影响工业用户采购成本及贸易商头寸管理。 需求双引擎：投资狂热与工业备货共振 当前市场的需求动力来自两方面：持续高涨的实物投资需求，以及太阳能等工业领域的集中采购。 报道指出在深圳水 ...

直到这次字节的Seedance2.0出圈，很多人才第一次真正意识到，中国模型在 AI 视频这条赛道上，似乎 已不只是追赶，而是开始跑在前面了。 Seedance2.0不是靠某一帧画面惊艳出圈，而是带来了一种更隐蔽、却更深刻的变化，即AI 视频第一次 像一件可以被稳定交付的工业品。 多模态输入、自动运镜、长时一致性，这些能力叠加在一起，意味着创作者可以避免反复抽卡的痛苦， 而去推进一条可复用的生产流程。 但如果把时间线往前拨，会发现中国公司在AI视频的领先并不是突然发生的。 其实更早之前，中国模型在 AI 视频领域已获得了清晰的领先窗口。 例如去年4月的快手可灵2.0，文生视频对比Sora胜负比达367%，在人物一致性、生成稳定性与复现率上 全面领先，率先实现可商用的AI视频生产能力。 AI视频的稳定性非常重要，人物能不能保持一致，画面会不会中途崩坏，生成结果能不能被反复复 现。 这些指标恰恰决定了视频能否进入真实生产。 后来我们能看到，一批中国公司沿着同一条路径继续推进。 字节在 Seedance 体系里不断强化叙事和镜头逻辑，而一些更小创业团队甚至会把视频生成直接嵌进电 商、广告、游戏买量的工作流中。 这些 ...
