最近，美国科技巨头突然掀起发债热潮，亚马逊、谷歌母公司Alphabet、Meta、甲骨文四家公司的发行 量，就已接近900亿美元。有外媒统计，美国企业今年已发行超2000亿美元公司债券，用于资助人工智 能相关基础设施项目。这引发了市场能否消化如此庞大供应的疑问，同时也加剧了人们对AI相关支出 的日益增长的担忧。 上述担忧，也"空袭"了美股市场，触发美股自11月初以来的大幅回调。数据显示，11月至今，以科技股 为主的纳斯达克指数跌幅超过6%，标普500指数、道指分别下跌3.47%、2.77%。另外，美国科技七巨头 指数下跌5.73%，费城半导体指数大跌超11%。 大型科技公司正竞相建设支持AI的数据中心，并为此积极转向债务市场融资。这对通常依赖现金进行 投资的硅谷公司而言是一个重大转变。 据路透社对公开数据的计算，自9月以来，四大主要云计算和AI平台公司（被称为超大规模企业）的公 共债券发行量已接近900亿美元。其中，谷歌母公司Alphabet发行250亿美元，Meta发行300亿美元，甲 骨文发行180亿美元，以及最近亚马逊发行150亿美元。五大巨头中，仅微软未在近期涉足债券市场。 个股方面，仅11月14日单 ...

上周美股持续承压，三大股指最大回撤一度超过5%，技术面发出强烈短期看空信号。 这种市场紧张情绪从一个月期隐含波动率攀升可见一斑，恐慌指数VIX触及近七个月高位。值得关注的 是，即使英伟达发布强劲财报且CEO黄仁勋发表乐观评论，但未能持续扭转负面势头。投资者仍对AI 龙头企业的上涨行情及其超出当前财务与生产能力的投资公告存疑。虽然在纽约联储主席威廉姆斯释放 鸽派信号后，市场有所企稳，外界将继续权衡货币政策前景，若AI相关担忧持续发酵，风险资产恐难 实现有意义的反弹。 降息预期出现剧烈波动，芝加哥商品交易所（CME）美联储观察工具数据显示，市场预期美联储联邦 公开市场委员会（FOMC）12月降息25个基点的概率从此前的39%升至约70%。 预期转变源于纽约联储主席威廉姆斯（John Williams）的表态。作为美联储主席鲍威尔的亲密盟友，他 表示政策制定者有空间进一步降息，以支持正在降温的就业市场。"我认为当前货币政策处于温和限制 性区间，尽管相比近期行动前有所缓和，"威廉姆斯称，"因此，我仍认为近期有进一步调整联邦基金利 率目标区间的空间，使政策立场更接近中性水平，从而维持实现两大政策目标的平衡。" 施瓦茨向 ...

AMD CEO Lisa Su近日在接受美国媒体访问时说，不断增长的人工智能（AI）市场是「一个巨 大的机会」，不担心AI泡沫，愿意「大胆下重注」的人正取得回报，投资不够反而比较危险。 Lisa Su相信算力需求是「永无止境的」，随着AI市场的成长，提供最好、最可靠AI基础设施的 公司将蓬勃发展，这些想法构成她的战略核心。 她说：「我并不担心AI泡沫。我真的相信，抱持这种想法的人有点太短视了。他们没有真的看 到这项技术的能耐。」她也认为科技公司对AI用途的探索，还只是触及皮毛而已。 公众号记得加星标⭐️，第一时间看推送不会错过。 来 源 ： 内容来自udn 。 *免责声明：本文由作者原创。文章内容系作者个人观点，半导体行业观察转载仅为了传达一种不同的观点，不代表半导体行业观察对该 观点赞同或支持，如果有任何异议，欢迎联系半导体行业观察。 END 今天是《半导体行业观察》为您分享的第 4234 期内容，欢迎关注。 推荐阅读 ★ 一颗改变了世界的芯片 Lisa Su指出，「现在并非隔岸观火、担心自己是不是投资过度的时候。在我看来，投资不足比 投资过度要危险得多」。 Lisa Su在上周于纽约举行的投资人日演讲中说 ...
