2月19日，进入 2026 年 2 月中旬，全球金融市场呈现出明显的波动特征，尤其是在美股开盘后，加密货 币市场震荡加剧，比特币（BTC）失守 67000 美元关口。NCE 平台表示，当前数字资产与科技股的关 联性显著增强，尤其是 iShares 科技软件 ETF （IGV） 的持续疲软，已成为对比特币价格走势产生重要 影响的先行指标。周二该 ETF 再次下跌 3%，这种板块性的抛售压力迅速传导至加密市场，导致比特币 脱离了此前在 68000 美元至 70000 美元之间的窄幅震荡区间。 在宏观金融环境波动背景下，相关研究人员认为，软件板块的低迷源于市场对人工智能（AI）工具冲 击传统软件商业模式的担忧。由于部分投资者倾向于将比特币的技术属性与软件行业挂钩，这种负面情 绪在短期内形成了共振。与此同时，美股三大股指普遍收跌，纳斯达克与标普 500 指数均出现不同程度 的回撤。相关数据显示，除了数字资产本身，包括 MicroStrategy 及各大矿企在内的加密概念股也遭遇 了 4% 至 5% 的跌幅，反映出整体风险偏好的下行，避险情绪开始主导短期市场。 除了科技板块的动荡，大宗商品市场的走势也表现出降温迹象，这 ...

2月19日，步入 2026 年 2 月中旬，全球金融市场呈现出显著的避险特征，比特币（BTC）在美股开盘后 迅速下挫并失守 67000 美元整数关口。NCE 外汇表示，当前数字资产与传统科技股的联动性已达到阶 段性高点，特别是被视为行业风向标的 iShares 科技软件 ETF （IGV） 持续走弱，直接对比特币的短期 估值构成了下行压力。周二 IGV 指数再度录得 3% 的跌幅，这种板块性的资金流出迅速蔓延至数字资 产领域，迫使比特币打破了此前在 68000 美元至 70000 美元区间维持的震荡格局。 从行业深度来看，相关调研认为软件板块的集体挫败主要源于人工智能（AI）技术的颠覆性影响。随 着 AI 工具的快速迭代，传统软件服务商的商业护城河正面临重塑。由于市场认知中常将比特币归类 为"软件属性"资产，这种逻辑关联导致了恐慌情绪的共振。NCE 外汇通过数据监测发现，纳斯达克与 标普 500 指数分别回落 0.8% 和 0.6%，而 MicroStrategy 及各大矿企股票也普遍出现 4% 至 5% 的跌幅。 这表明在宏观不确定性面前，投资者正在重新审视科技类资产的估值逻辑，风险偏好短期内明显收缩。 2 ...

然而，劳动力需求端的表现依然"脆弱"。高盛指出，当前就业增长范围狭窄，且职位空缺持续下降，已 降至约700万个，低于疫情前水平。该行认为，劳动力市场面临的最大下行风险来自人工智能，AI可能 带来更快速、更具破坏性的结构性调整，既可能抑制企业招聘意愿，也可能导致失业人数超出当前预 期。 高盛最新分析指出，美国劳动力市场的基本面正在发生根本性转变。受特朗普政府移民限制政策影响， 净移民人数已骤降80%，这一变化正在重新定义维持失业率稳定所需的就业增长水平。该行预计，到今 年年底，美国每月仅需新增约5万个就业岗位即可维持失业率不变，远低于当前的7万个。 这一劳动力供给的急剧收缩源于移民政策的全面收紧。此前在拜登政府任内，共有超过1080万非法移民 进入美国。进入2025年后，净移民人数已从2010年代年均约100万人的水平降至约50万人。高盛预测， 2026年将进一步下滑至仅20万人。 数据显示，职位空缺目前已降至约700万个，低于疫情前水平且仍在下降。美国劳工统计局的官方数据 也印证了这一趋势，去年年底职位空缺正向600万区间中段滑落。高盛警告称，职位空缺的持续下降将 增加失业率更显著上行的风险，即使劳动力供给增 ...
