医药股遭遇"至暗时刻"。 根据高盛欧洲医药专家Seth James的分析，当前医药股的交易表现宛如"ESG时代巅峰时期的能源股 ——仿佛正在消亡"。 数据显示， 该板块相对市盈率已降至自全球金融危机复苏期和新冠疫情高峰期以来的最低水平；相对 标普500指数的估值已降至历史新低，创下有记录以来的最大折价。 标普医疗保健行业指数基金表现逊于标普大盘，差距为24年来最大。 高盛数据显示，从市场定位来看，欧盟医药板块多空比率接近5年低点，而美国市场在空头方面甚至更 加极端——这种极端定位通常为反弹奠定基础。 然而，仍有多重政策不确定性仍继续笼罩医药板块。 分析指出，除了潜在的关税政策、特朗普要求高价处方药必须"对齐"降价的计划之外，美国CMS(医疗保 险与医疗补助服务中心)最新指导草案新增关于固定组合的段落，也引发了投资者担忧某些原为静脉注 射药物的皮下注射剂型可能比预期更早纳入IRA价格谈判。 高盛分析师Asad Haider指出，上述因素尽管可能最终成为"大妥协"的一部分，但目前仍是压制整个行 业的阴云。 推荐阅读： 巴菲特解释"退休"决定：开始偶尔失去平衡，有时甚至记不起一个人的名字。突然间，读的报纸看起来 就 ...

特朗普的中东之行充斥着令人眼花缭乱的数字，沙特和卡塔尔轮番上阵，许诺对美投资动辄上万亿美 元，但这些天文数字的投资承诺能否最终兑现，值得推敲。 特朗普此次中东之行为期四天，到访第一站是沙特。据白宫新闻稿披露，沙特王储萨勒曼最初承诺在四 年内向美国追加6000亿美元投资， 但特朗普声称这一数字可能达到1万亿美元。沙特王储也表态，沙特 将努力推动在美国投资额达到1万亿美元。 特朗普在沙特-美国投资峰会上得意地表示，"看看以前得那些总统，他们有时几年都拉不到一万亿美 元，而我们基本上用了两个月就做到了。" 在卡塔尔， 特朗普收获了一个更大的礼包 。白宫的公告称， 特朗普在卡塔尔签署的协议旨在促成价值 至少1.2万亿美元的"经济交换"（economic exchange） ，包括卡塔尔航空公司从波音购买160架商用 飞机的2000亿美元大单。 然而，这些数字究竟是真金白银还是只是为了制造一些哄特朗普开心的轰动性头条？ 国际货币基金组织估计，沙特阿拉伯维持财政收支平衡的石油价格为每桶96美元。这意味着只有油价保 持在这一水平，沙特才能维持其全方位的福利体系并控制政治不满。 而卡塔尔的GDP更是仅有2000多亿美元，这使 ...
