路透社 根据纳斯达克拟议规则，市值跻身纳斯达克现有指数成分股前40名的新上市公司，将获得指数加速纳入 资格。此类企业仅需提前至少五个交易日发出通知，在上市满15个交易日后便可纳入相关指数，同时还 将免除常规的上市时限与流动性相关要求。纳斯达克明确，通过该机制新纳入的成分股不会取代现有成 分股，而是暂时增加指数成分股数量，这一处理方式与分拆上市企业的纳入规则一致，待下一次年度成 分股调整时再做统筹。 此次新规提案的推出，恰逢市场新股上市、大型公司上市活动异常活跃的阶段，埃隆·马斯克旗下 SpaceX、人工智能初创公司Anthropic等企业均披露了IPO计划，2026年更有望迎来一批估值达数千亿美 元的人工智能科技巨头启动上市流程，新规将为这类大型企业纳入指数提供高效通道。 来源：环球网 据路透社等外媒报道，纳斯达克交易所近日发布声明，计划对其旗舰指数纳斯达克100指数的纳入规则 进行修订，拟设立"快速准入"机制大幅缩短大型新股的指数纳入等待时间，将现有至少三个月的准入门 槛压缩至上市后首个15个交易日结束后。 Running Point Capital Advisors合伙人兼首席投资官Michael Ash ...

各位朋友早上好，我是帮主。隔夜美股，又给我们上演了一出标准的"人格分裂"大戏。你瞧，道琼斯指 数逆势上涨了0.53%，而代表科技的纳斯达克指数却暴跌了1.51%，标普500也连跌两日。这种分裂背 后，远不止是板块轮动那么简单，而是市场正在对两个核心问题投下严肃的投票：第一，科技股的业 绩"神话"还能持续多久？ 第二，美国经济的"发动机"是不是真的在失速？ 这两个问题，对我们理解全 球资金接下来的流向至关重要。 我们先看第一个问题，关于科技股的"信仰考验"。导火索是明星芯片公司AMD，因为一季度业绩展望 不及预期，股价单日重挫超过17%，并拖累了整个半导体板块。这背后传递出一个关键信号：市场对AI 的热情，正从去年"只要是AI概念就买"的狂热期，进入一个 "严苛筛选期"。就像一位投资主管说 的，"市场开始对人工智能领域的胜负者进行区分"。大家不再为遥远的梦想集体买单，而是瞪大了眼 睛，审视每一份财报里的具体数字：你的AI产品到底带来了多少实际收入？增长能不能持续？任何一 点疑虑，都可能引发剧烈的抛售。这种情绪，已经从软件股蔓延到了硬件股。 但比AMD暴跌更值得关注的，是第二个"经济警报"。昨天公布的美国1月AD ...
