野村警告，尽管AI驱动的美股牛市基础稳固且受多重利好支撑，但市场已积累显著下行风险。当前投资者过度看涨，期权市场看涨需求激增，且科技巨 头间的"循环投资"模式令人担忧。报告警告称，市场处于极端净多头和负伽马状态，一旦出现催化剂，可能因去杠杆化引发快速剧烈回调，因此现在放 弃对冲策略是危险之举。 野村证券最新分析指出，尽管人工智能驱动的美股牛市基础依然稳固，投资者仍可参与其中，但市场已积累了显著的下行风险，现在放弃对冲策略将是 危险之举。 在策略师Charlie McElligott看来， 当前市场正处于一场"AI引发的狂热"之中， 形成了一个良性循环，推动股指不断创下历史新高。这种持续的上涨正 在迫使此前持怀疑态度的投资者追高买入，进一步助推了这轮涨势。 然而，McElligott警告称，尽管对冲策略可能会拖累短期表现，但投资者"现在绝不能放弃对冲"。他指出， 市场在极端的净多头仓位、负伽马、以及潜 在的波动率挤压风险下，正面临显著的"下行凸性"（convexity to the downside），一旦出现催化剂，跌幅会因负伽马、高杠杆和拥挤多头被强制平 仓而呈指数级放大，形成越跌越快的"加速下坠"曲线。 ...
