数据显示，由"股神"巴菲特推崇的一项关键估值指标，正在发出美股"相对便宜"的信号，这进一步支持 了市场普遍认为美股近期强劲反弹还有上涨空间的观点。 媒体报道，这项被称为"巴菲特指标"的估值工具，是用美国股市总市值的Wilshire 5000指数与美国国内 生产总值（GDP）总额的比值来衡量的。尽管近几周股市大幅上涨， 该指标目前仍处于去年9月初以来 的最低水平。 巴菲特曾表示， 衡量估值水平的"单一最佳指标"就是美国上市公司总市值与美国GDP之间的比例。这 项指标在去年底飙升至历史高位时曾发出过警讯，当时的水平与2021年市场高点及2000年互联网泡沫 破裂前的水平相似。 目前该指标约为180%，与去年日元套利交易被解除后引发短暂但剧烈抛售时的水平大致相当，当时的 市场动荡为2024年最后几个月标普500指数的强劲反弹铺平了道路。 50 Park Investments创始人Adam Sarhan表示，他近期已大举买入大型科技股： 有批评者认为，"巴菲特指标"存在一定局限，比如没有考虑到利率高企的影响，因为较高的借贷成本会 侵蚀企业利润，并对股价构成压力。一些策略师也认为，估值并不是判断市场走势时机的好工具， ...

特朗普重返美国政坛后频繁通过社交媒体发布政策信息，引发市场动荡。为规避政策快速反转带来的损失，债市投资者已总结出"72小时交易规则"：特朗普发 布消息72小时内若无反转，再采取交易行动。 债市投资者"草木皆兵" 债券投资者曾多次因立即响应特朗普的推文而蒙受损失。 例如，特朗普发帖威胁对欧洲葡萄酒加征200%关税后，多家投行迅速进行场外交易，押注相关公司（如包装商Ardagh Group SA、Verallia及标签制造商 Fedrigoni SpA）债券价格下跌。 然而，几天后，当最终关税清单公布并无葡萄酒时，债券价格迅速反弹，令提前行动者措手不及。类似地，对加拿大钢铁征收50%关税的威胁也很快被放弃。 这些频繁反转的事件，令债券投资者对特朗普推文心存忌惮。 "72小时规则"：在反复中寻求确定性 市场参与者痛定思痛后，部分银行和投资者开始采纳"72小时规则"，即在特朗普发布政策信息后的72小时内避免行动，以防政策迅速反转带来损失。 媒体援引三位资深债市专家的话称，在特朗普发布任何潜在的重大政策信息后，他们会按兵不动，等待三天（72小时）。如果届时其立场未变或未撤回，市场 才倾向于相信该政策可能真正落地，并据此 ...

投资界的年度盛会——伯克希尔-哈撒韦股东大会在5月2日拉开帷幕，北京时间2日周六晚9点进入大会 股东问答环节。 "股神"巴菲特再次全程参与，携他的CEO接班人——伯克希尔非保险业务的负责人阿贝尔（Greg Abel）以及保险业务负责人贾因（Ajit Jain）共同回答股东提问。 华尔街见闻总结的巴菲特股东大会要点如下： 1）关于贸易 "贸易不应成为武器 "，美国应寻求与他国进行贸易，做各自擅长的事。保护主义政策是一个"严重的错 误"。 2）关于美国 "财政政策是我在美国最担心的问题"，当政府采取不负责任的行动，货币的价值可能会"令人恐惧"。 巴菲特暗示全力押注美国、支持美国例外论， 称他最幸运的日子是出生在美国那天，美国是资本主义 的典范。 3) 关于日本 我们不会轻易在海外投资，除非我认为那是一个真正具备巨大潜力的机会。 打算继续持有日本商社的股票五六十年 。就算日本央行加息，他也不考虑抛售。 伯克希尔目前在日本的投资已达200亿美元，我甚至希望当初我们投资的是1000亿美元而不是200亿。 4）关于美股 近期美股经历的"不是什么重大波动"，相比过去的崩盘，"还不算是一场剧烈的熊市"，也不是类似情 况。 5 ...

沙特王储穆罕默德·本·萨勒曼提出的经济转型计划核心项目之一——未来城市Neom，已不得不减少投 资。国际货币基金组织（IMF）上周下调了中东国家的经济前景，并估算沙特需要油价维持在每桶90美 元以上才能满足政府支出需求。 周五，媒体援引众多与会代表报道称，OPEC+正在讨论将6月石油产量提高大约40万桶。受消息影响， WTI原油期货跌幅一度扩大至2.4%，报57.82美元/桶。布伦特原油期货跌约1.7%，再次失守61美元。 当日稍早，OPEC+决定提前召开原定于周一举行的政策制定电话会议，OPEC+将于5月3日周六举办视 频会议。 此前，沙特和俄罗斯为首的OPEC+产油国已经将石油产量提高41.1万桶/日，增产幅度几乎是原来计划 的三倍。此举旨在约束那些产量超标的成员国。据代表称，该组织正考虑下个月再次采取同样的举措。 沙特的政策转变是受到数月来对哈萨克斯坦等 OPEC+ 成员国日益增长的不满情绪的刺激， 尽管哈萨 克斯坦一再承诺遵守协议，但其仍继续严重违反商定的限量。 哈萨克斯坦目前大部分产能都由优先扩张的跨国公司运营，该国对原油扩产持"默认"态度。雪佛龙CEO 周五接受媒体采访时表示 ，他最近与哈萨克斯坦 ...
