若对人工智能交易的疑虑持续叠加即将发布的积压经济数据引发担忧，股票投资者可能将迎来动荡的一 周开局——这些数据或显示就业市场疲软且通胀居高不下。 美国股票上周五多数收跌，三大股指涨跌互现。上周四，尽管联邦政府结束史上最长停摆重新开门，但 道琼斯工业平均指数、标普500指数、纳斯达克综合指数以及罗素2000小盘股指数均创下逾一个月最差 表现。 投资者当前面临的最大问题之一是，股市的大幅抛售是否还有进一步空间，以及积压的经济数据发布后 将如何被解读——这些数据将在未来几天内开始陆续公布。 市场对这两个因素均未形成共识。由于为期43天的停摆导致数据延迟，这些数据可能被视为过时，而人 工智能交易也可能像上周五盘中那样重新获得支撑，这两种情况都有可能发生。 "目前尚不清楚市场将对单个数据点赋予多大权重，"关注债券市场的道明证券（TD Securities）纽约美 国利率策略主管根纳季·戈德堡（Gennadiy Goldberg）表示。市场参与者"仍会关注这些数据，但关注的 程度可能会大打折扣，因为他们认为更新、更及时的数据即将到来。" 9月非农即将出炉，CPI迷雾未散 本周四，美国官方9月非农就业报告将最终发布，较原定 ...
