华尔街两家最大的公司表示，人工智能热潮远非投机狂热。贝莱德和美国银行表示，这一周期是由真实 的企业投资、盈利和生产力增长驱动的，而不是那种定义了2000年代初互联网泡沫的非理性繁荣。 贝莱德智库负责人Jean Boivin在周二的媒体圆桌会议上表示，"我们认为泡沫框架在这个阶段对投资者 来说并不那么有用，我们要避免仅仅把一切都放在一种后视镜式的指标或评估上，"他继续说道，并指 出鉴于建设仍在以"前所未有"的规模和速度展开，将AI热潮描述为泡沫是"不完整的"。 Boivin还指出了当今市场中存在的健康怀疑态度。"关于泡沫潜力的讨论如此之多……人们意识到了风 险，"他说。"只有当没有相关讨论时，我们才应该更加担心。" "与AI建设相关的资本支出雄心是如此之大，以至于微观即宏观，"该公司在其展望中写道，预计到2030 年全球企业支出计划将在5万亿至8万亿美元之间，其中大部分在美国。 贝莱德补充道，"投资者面临的挑战是：协调巨大的资本支出计划与潜在的AI收入，它们的数量级会匹 配吗？" 该公司还指出了建设的物理限制，从算力到电网，并指出到本十年末，AI数据中心可能会消耗美国15% 至20%的电力。这使得建设既具有变革 ...

Group 1 - The UN Secretary-General António Guterres criticized Israel's military actions in Gaza, stating there is a "fundamental error" in their approach, which disregards civilian casualties and destruction in Gaza while failing to eliminate Hamas [1] - Guterres highlighted that over 70,000 people have died in Gaza during the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, raising concerns about potential war crimes committed by Israel [1] - Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon responded by condemning Guterres for not visiting Israel and accused him of morally reprehensible behavior by consistently criticizing Israel [1] Group 2 - Guterres praised the United States for its role in improving humanitarian aid access to Gaza, emphasizing the need for continued cooperation in humanitarian efforts [2] - The UN has faced challenges in delivering aid to Gaza, attributing these obstacles to Israel and the chaotic situation, while Israel accuses Hamas of stealing aid [2] Group 3 - Guterres expressed that negotiations to resolve the Ukraine conflict appear to be stalled, emphasizing the importance of adhering to international law and territorial integrity in any proposed solutions [3] - He warned that violations of these principles could lead to a dangerous precedent globally, undermining the significance of international law [3] Group 4 - Guterres addressed the impact of U.S. foreign aid cuts under President Trump, stating that while it created opportunities for UN reform, it has had severe humanitarian consequences, leading to increased mortality rates [4] Group 5 - Guterres criticized U.S. military actions against drug trafficking vessels near Venezuela, asserting that these actions do not comply with international law and that military confrontation is not a viable solution [5]

尽管黄金尚未回到10月创下的每盎司4380美元左右历史高点，但据一位市场策略师表示，当前金价已接 近其公允价值。 在近期接受Kitco新闻采访时，WisdomTree大宗商品与宏观研究主管尼泰什·沙阿（Nitesh Shah）表示， 全球经济充斥着大量不确定性，尽管金价波动性很大，但在每次新的突破后都能建立更高的支撑位，这 并不令人意外。 他补充道，等待金价更大幅度回调的投资者可能会继续失望，因为贵金属预计将从日益疲软的经济中获 得坚实支撑，这将迫使美联储在下周及2026年期间降息，从而推低名义和实际债券收益率，并削弱美 元。 尽管黄金在10月未能站稳每盎司4380美元上方，并遭遇了大规模获利了结，但抛售压力始终有限，支撑 位维持在每盎司4000美元上方。 "金价可能跌破4000美元，但这需要巨大的推动力，几乎可以说是不可能的，"他说。 沙阿表示，在熊市情景下，利率必须回升至5%。但他补充道，若出现这种情况，美国经济可能会陷入 衰退，这将使黄金成为具有吸引力的避险资产。 "只有在经济活动异常强劲、利率必须进一步上升，且投资者认为不再需要持有黄金的情景下，金价才 会大幅下跌，"他说，"但目前来看这根本不可能。每 ...

Group 1: Rate Hike Plans - The market anticipates a 25 basis point increase in interest rates to 0.75% later this month, with an 80% probability priced in following Ueda's comments [1][2]. - The upcoming rate hike would mark the highest level in 30 years, as Ueda aims to address the legacy of aggressive stimulus measures from his predecessor [2][4]. - Ueda's communication strategy is crucial for conveying the long-term path of interest rate increases, given the lack of consensus on Japan's neutral interest rate [1][6].

AI播客：换个方式听新闻 下载mp3 音频由扣子空间生成 2025年8月，美国总统特朗普在"真相社交"（Truth Social）平台发文，猛烈抨击其第一任期财政部长史 蒂文·姆努钦（Steven Mnuchin），因其2017年建议自己任命鲍威尔为美联储主席。 特朗普数月来一直怒斥鲍威尔降息速度不够快，他在文中写道："史蒂夫·'曼努钦'（此处为特朗普故意 写错姓氏）给我推了这么个'废物'，真是'帮了大忙'。他总是行动迟缓，造成的损失不可估量。" 这番对特朗普第一任期最忠诚内阁成员之一的尖锐批评，正值现任财政部长斯科特·贝森特（Scott Bessent）筹备为鲍威尔寻找继任者之际——鲍威尔的主席任期将于明年到期。 下一任美联储主席的任命事关重大。特朗普毫不掩饰地表示，期望自己选中的人能迅速降息。但这一任 命也让贝森特陷入异常尴尬的境地，特朗普明确表示，这位财政部长的前途与美联储接下来的行动紧密 挂钩。 上月在华盛顿的一场演讲中，特朗普开玩笑称，对贝森特未能说动鲍威尔降息感到失望。 "斯科特唯一搞砸的就是美联储的事，"这位美国总统在沙特投资论坛的讲话中表示，"要是你不赶紧搞 定，我就解雇你。" 特朗普预计将很 ...

彼得斯发表此番评论时，债券交易员和大型宏观基金经理正在推演特朗普重组美联储带来的影响——即便只是政策变动的蛛丝马迹，也可能在全球市场引发 震荡。在特朗普数月来对美联储发起前所未有的攻击（包括辱骂鲍威尔、试图罢免理事会成员库克）之后，他任命鸽派美联储主席的可能性不断上升。 哈塞特被广泛认为支持特朗普偏好低利率的立场。特朗普本周表示，美联储主席一职的角逐"已锁定最终人选"，同时称哈塞特是"潜在的美联储主席人选"。 PGIM固定收益部门联席首席投资官格雷戈里·彼得斯（Gregory Peters）表示，即便凯文·哈塞特（Kevin Hassett）获得批准出任下一任美联储主席，他也可能 无法实现美国总统特朗普所期望的快速降息节奏。 彼得斯发表上述言论之际，外界普遍猜测，如果白宫国家经济委员会主任哈塞特被任命为美联储主席，他可能会为了取悦特朗普而大幅降息。但这位PGIM 基金经理指出，由于美联储的利率决策最终由委员会决定，哈塞特无法仅凭一己之力兑现这一诉求。 同时担任美国财政部借款顾问委员会成员的彼得斯在接受彭博电视台采访时表示，"他在委员会内部是否有足够的公信力来推动共识？我们不知道答案。我 认为他没有这种公信力， ...

Core Viewpoint - The demand for AI hardware is causing a significant shortage of traditional storage chips, leading major PC manufacturers to plan price increases of at least 20% for their 2026 models due to rising component costs [2][3]. Group 1: Supply Chain and Pricing - The shortage of storage is attributed to major manufacturers like Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron shifting production capacity towards high-bandwidth memory (HBM), which is crucial for AI accelerators, thereby constricting the supply of mainstream PC components such as DDR5 and LPDDR5 DRAM and SSDs [3][6]. - Wholesale prices for wafers have surged since late September, with reports indicating that storage prices have nearly doubled every ten days in early Q4 [3]. - Major PC brands are expected to face a supply bottleneck, with procurement managers estimating that next year's storage availability may only meet about half of the demand [3][5]. Group 2: Inventory Management and Market Strategy - To mitigate the impact of rising costs and supply constraints, PC brands are planning significant price hikes for next year's models while accelerating inventory clearance and phasing out older products [4]. - The tightening supply has been evident since early this year, as major storage suppliers have begun to phase out DDR4 production in favor of more profitable AI storage [4]. Group 3: Market Outlook and Forecasts - The storage supply bottleneck is negatively impacting industry forecasts, with IDC and Gartner both revising down their PC shipment predictions for 2026 [5]. - If the storage shortage persists, actual production may fall short of expectations, with some models potentially facing production cuts or temporary halts [5]. - The imbalance in production capacity between HBM and traditional PC DRAM is expected to continue into next year, making 2026 one of the most expensive product cycles in recent years if major suppliers do not expand mainstream storage capacity [6].
