特朗普就关税问题发表最新言论，令本已紧张的全球市场再添不确定性，投资者在等待更清晰的信号。 据央视新闻，特朗普周二表示，将对铜进口征收50%关税，这一关税水平约为市场预期的两倍，远超此前市场普遍预期的25%左右水平。这标志 着其贸易言论的再次升级，也改变了市场此前对于关税最后期限可能被推迟的预期。 受此影响，市场反应谨慎。标普500指数期货几无变动，预示着美股或将连续第二天小幅波动。欧洲股市微涨0.1%。在商品市场，伦敦金属交易 所（LME）的铜价承压下跌，但随后跌幅收窄至1%以内。 特朗普周二表示，决心推进对外国进口商品征收高额关税的计划，并将铜和药品列为新的潜在目标。这种不确定性加剧了投资者的困惑。正如墨 尔本Vantage Markets的市场分析师Hebe Chen所说，交易员们不仅感到疲惫，更像是"迷失在越来越浓的迷雾森林中"。 Hebe Chen指出： 美股盘前，中概股普跌，阿里巴巴跌2.6%，小鹏汽车跌约2%，哔哩哔哩跌约2%。 欧元兑美元几乎没有变化，为 1.1722 美元。日元兑美元汇率报 146.72。 "目前，明智之举是保持观望，等待一些真实的消息穿透迷雾。" 【16:10】 纽约铜下跌 ...
