瑞银策略师Sean Simonds预计标普500指数年末目标为7,500点，略低于市场主流策略师平均预期的7,629 点。 政策层面也构成压力。瑞银提到，美国在关税政策、信用卡利率上限提案、住房投资限制、药品定价审 查及对军工企业分红与回购的监管讨论等方面存在较高不确定性。 不过，Garthwaite并未转向全面看空。他表示，在潜在泡沫早期阶段，美国经济和股市往往更具优势； 同时，瑞银预计人工智能应用在美国的推进速度仍领先多数地区，有助于维持企业盈利增长。 Garthwaite指出，美元前景是核心担忧之一。瑞银预计欧元将在明年一季度末升至1.22美元，并认为美 元面临"结构性下行风险"。历史数据显示，当美元贸易加权指数下跌10%时，在未对冲情况下，美股通 常会落后约4个百分点。 今年以来，随着美元走软与海外市场估值更具吸引力，资金流向出现明显轮动。MSCI全球(除美国)指 数2026年累计上涨约8%，而标普500指数表现基本持平。日本日经225指数年内上涨17%，欧洲斯托克 600指数上涨7%，显示投资者正加速从美股转向海外市场。 智通财经APP获悉，瑞银集团首席全球股票策略师Andrew Garthwait ...
