“做多能源+做空可选消费” --当下火遍华尔街的“配对交易组合”
华尔街见闻· 2026-02-17 11:30
一种新的板块配对交易策略正在华尔街兴起, "做多能源+做空可选消费"组合取代了科技股多年来的主导地位,成为当前最具吸引力的板块交易之一。 彭博宏观策略师Simon White日前撰文称,今年以来,在油价反弹的推动下, 美国能源股上涨超过20%,表现优于包括科技股在内的所有其他板块 。与此同 时, 投资者正在做空可选消费板块。该板块包括亚马逊和特斯拉等非AI核心企业,以及传统零售股。 12月零售销售数据疲软引发了对消费者健康状况的担忧,而玩具制造商美泰发布疲弱盈利预期后,其股价创下自1999年以来最大单日跌幅,进一步打击了市场 情绪。 数据显示, 可选消费股的空头持仓比率增幅已超过科技股,而能源股的空头持仓比率则降至近一年来的最低水平附近 。分析认为,这一趋势反映出投资者对 不同板块前景的重新评估,以及在通胀环境下对实物资产配置的偏好转变。 因此,投资者并未大举做空AI开发商,而是将做空目标锁定在可选消费类股票上。 这一类别不仅包括亚马逊和特斯拉等非纯粹AI开发商,还涵盖了标准的零售股。市场情绪受到具体数据的打击: 12月零售销售表现疲软,引发了外界对消费者健康状况的担忧;美泰(Mattel)因发布疲弱的盈利预 ...
