美联储官员讲话提振降息预期，投资者押注降息可以比之前预料的更早到来。美联储理事沃勒表示，如 果激进的关税水平损害就业市场，他会支持降息；还有克利夫兰联储主席马克也表示，如果能够获得比 较明确的经济走向证据，最快可能会在6月份采取利率行动。 受降息预期影响，美股大幅收涨，道指涨1.23%，纳指涨2.74%，标普500指数涨2.03%。 明星科技股普涨，特斯拉、亚马逊、微软涨超3%，谷歌、Meta涨逾2%，苹果涨近2%。半导体板块涨 幅居前，美光科技、博通涨逾6%，英特尔、AMD涨超4%，英伟达涨逾3%。 2025年4月25日，相关ETF方面，纳指100ETF（513390）早盘高开，大涨超3%，盘中大幅溢价，溢价率 超1%，近五日获资金净流入1.96亿元，交投活跃。 标普500ETF（513500）高开，盘中大涨近2.5%，成交额近3亿元，持续大幅溢价，买盘强烈。 相关机构表示，美联储降息消息论调发出，从预期的层面当然是好事，如果要从实际的角度出发，从历 来的惯例看，美联储内部人士的表态往往只是一种态度，并不能对货币政策的走向产生决策作用，是否 未来有降息的可能性，还是要看美联储主席鲍威尔的态度，这才是实质性的 ...

华尔街大多头"缴械投降" 因关税影响下调标普500指数目标 智通财经4月24日电，华尔街最大的多头之一正在放弃对今年股市大幅上涨的预期，认为关税对美国企 业造成最沉重打击。Bankim Chadha领导的德意志银行策略师团队将年底标普500指数目标下调12%，至 6,150点。尽管这较周三收盘价仍有14%的上行空间，但意味着该指数仅能收复自2月见顶以来的失地。 在此之前，他们一直持有对该基准指数最乐观的观点。Chadha的团队还预计标普500指数今年盈利将下 降5%，而普遍预期为增长8%。"鉴于已宣布的关税可能带来的影响巨大，并且可能对美国公司造成不 成比例的冲击，我们将标普500指数2025年每股收益预期从282美元下调至240美元，"策略师们在报告中 写道，并补充称共识预期存在进一步下调的风险。 ...

德意志银行的分析师Edison Yu在本周发布的一份报告中指出，汽车制造商的反应不尽相同。福特计划 下月上调新车价格，特斯拉据称暂停了进口CyberCab和Semi项目的零部件，并暂停了在美国生产的 Model X和S车型在海外的销售，沃尔沃卡车工厂预计将裁员。 德银预计，美国年初汽车需求强劲，因为消费者会赶在价格上涨前购车，随后在下半年因关税影响而放 缓。预计2025年美国汽车销量将降至1540万辆，低于2024年的1600万辆。 各大车企反应不一，分化加剧 尽管特朗普政府暗示可能会提供缓解措施，但目前具体细节仍不明确。 据新华社，美国总统特朗普此前宣布的对进口汽车加征25%关税的措施于4月3日正式生效。 对此，美国汽车制造商正在采取各种策略应对这种不确定性，包括调整定价、激励措施和生产计划。 德意志银行目前假设，除了符合美墨加协定(USMCA) 规则的汽车外，所有进口汽车都将面临25%的关 税，直到海关完全评估非美国产零部件为止。进口零部件预计将从5月3日开始受到关税影响。这给汽车 制造商带来了极大的不确定性。 德银表示，汽车制造商的反应各不相同。例如，特斯拉暂停了在美国生产的Model X和S车型在海外 ...
