今天，市场的亮点，其实都是和外围相关的。 其一，是美国财长贝森特，昨晚接受采访的时候，提到， 中美 下周一、周二要在瑞典，进行第 三轮贸易谈判，今天商务部也确认了该消息，中美之前暂停加征关税的deadline是8月12日，所以 要谈展期的事情。 其二，是今天一早， 川宝 在社交媒体上发文，宣布和日本、印尼、菲律宾，都谈成了，分别确 定加征15%、19%、19%的对等关税，资本市场最大的风险在于不确定性本身，因此，确认关税 后，市场情绪比较好。 下图，今天日经225大涨3.5%，其中，马自达、斯巴鲁、丰田、三菱、本田，五家汽车厂，涨幅 均在11-18%之间，都是暴涨的状态。 而没在图里的印尼、菲律宾股市，都大涨1.7%左右； 包括港股，作为亚太市场的一部分，也是受益于同样一套逻辑， 恒生指数涨1.6%左右，恒生互 联网、恒生科技，涨幅则更大一些 ，因为整个龙头互联网公司全线大涨，其中股王腾讯，今天涨 近5%，市值破5万亿，股价也创21年恒生科技大牛市以来的新高了。 听说，今天主要是 外资的主动基金 在买腾讯等互联网巨头，这个逻辑我是相信的，因为外资今 天对整体亚太市场预计都是加仓的节奏，而反过来看，对手盘资金， ...

除了点位， 还有两个关键的"1.9万亿" ，也能用来代表情绪。 其一，是A股交易量，今天突破了1.9万亿，比昨天还多了2000亿； 其二，是融资盘，昨天融资净买入154亿，突破5月6日的前高，创今年3月以来的单日新高，尤其是，融 资余额，也时隔3个半月，再次站上1.9万亿大关，这就是全市场风险偏好最高的一类资金，近期的实际观 点表达了。 其实，我自己也能从微观层面，了解市场的情绪。 每次表韭投顾发车，我们都会观察，单次发车过程中，投资者的跟投比例——今天，表韭量化和表韭固 收加，主理人有发车，根据雪球平台提供的数据， 在存量投资者中，有超过30%的人，选择了跟车 ，这 其实是非常夸张的数据，做理财经理的小伙伴可以代入一下，假设你今天营销了10个客户买基金，最后 有3个下单，那么，这是不是一个比较惊人的参与率？ 当然，从30%的绝对值来看，首先体现的是基金投顾这个模式整体的先进性，而这一数据，环比也是大 幅提升的，那么，就能体现出，微观层面，投资者参与市场的积极性，在提升。 今天市场的情绪依旧火热，最大的新闻，当然是中午传出了煤炭核查的消息，煤炭板块暴涨超6%，商品 里的焦煤、焦炭日内全部触及涨停。 而市场在下 ...

昨晚我们提到，" 超级水电工程 实际落地后，按照目前A股的情绪，肯定是要炒作一波的，合情合理，具体方向，无非是几个——水泥、爆破、 设备安装商、以及中字头的施工方" 。 而实际上， 今天实际炒作的情况，比预想的还要猛 ，我按某家行业ETF布局比较多的公募的产品，今日的涨幅榜自上而下排序，排名前9的行业 ETF，几乎就能把市场所有能炒的概念都包圆了；其中，最炸裂的在于，市场里有三只建材ETF，包括下图规模最大的这只的159745，全部涨停 了（和场内申赎限制相关），目前都是2个点以上的溢价。 至于这里有没有过热的情绪，我也没能力判断，但是确实大量无关的票（至少中短期内没业务关系），被硬生生给带起来了，背后，一方面，是 对整体大基建的预期，但这个预期，是具有不确定性的。 ...... 其实，A股最近的运势确实是比较好，本周，其实本来该调整一下了——上周四，融资余额突破了1.89万亿，连续9天净买入，无限逼近1.9万亿 大关，很多比较敏感的资金，知道1.9万亿是个坎，可能是短期的顶部，直接先跑了，结果，上周五融资盘净卖出了20亿，连续净买入被迫中 止。 但是，周五盘后，出来了工信部的十大行业稳增长方案，周末又出来了 ...
