每经编辑｜段炼 当地时间9月24日，美股连续第二个交易日下跌，投资者消化美联储主席鲍威尔前一天的谨慎表态，等待本周晚些时候发布的关键经济数据。 截至收盘，道指跌171.50点，跌幅0.37%，报46121.28点，纳指跌0.34%，报22497.86点，标普500指数跌0.28%，报6637.97点。全市超3300只股票下跌。 当地时间9月23日，美联储主席鲍威尔在一场经济展望会上表示，数据表明，近期经济增速有所放缓，失业率处于低位但略有上升。就业增长放缓，就业 下行风险上升，同时通胀上升且仍处于较高水平，风险平衡明显发生变化。鲍威尔还表示，从多个指标来看，当前美股股票价格的估值都相当高。 宣布与英伟达合作，阿里股价大涨 国际金价大跌，油价大涨 明星科技股表现分化，特斯拉涨4.0%，微软涨0.2%，亚马逊跌0.2%，苹果和英伟达跌0.8%，谷歌跌1.8%。甲骨文跌1.7%，有报道称该公司计划通过发行 公司债券筹集150亿美元资金。英特尔涨超6%，消息称公司正在寻求引入苹果投资。矿企业Lithium Americas飙升95.8%，消息称美国政府正考虑入股这家 加拿大公司。 | く 気方 | 知名美股 ○ O ...

美联储好不容易在今年9月份采取了降息的动作，但单次降息的幅度只有25个基点，低于市场的预期。接下来，美联储还会不会降息，取决于鲍威尔的态 度。 美联储选择在9月份降息，主要原因是8月非农数据远低于市场预期，同时通胀回升预期不明显，给了美联储降息的空间。但是，最近美联储鲍威尔的表态， 再一次给市场泼了一盆冷水。 一旦美联储正式步入新一轮的降息周期，那么将会促使部分资金流向股市、楼市，并推动这些资产价格的进一步上涨。不过，相比起美股市场，美联储降息 对新兴市场的刺激影响会更加显著，对美元来说，随着美元吸引力的下降以及资本的外流，会引发资金加速流向新兴市场，美元资产吸引力也会持续下降。 正如美联储鲍威尔所言，当前美股的估值相对偏高。其中，美股三大指数的平均估值均在30倍以上。其中，纳斯达克的估值更是达到了40倍以上。在美 股"七巨头"之中，包括谷歌、Meta在内的科技巨头，整体估值已经抬升至一个新的高度，七巨头中已经难见静态估值低于30倍的资产。苹果、微软、亚马逊 等巨头估值，也直接向40倍估值靠拢，七巨头的整体估值显得并不便宜。 美股估值偏高，未必影响美联储的降息预期。但是，鲍威尔的公开表态，相当于向美股市场释放 ...
