美国劳工部1月9日发布数据显示，2025年12月，美国新增5万个非农就业岗位，失业率为4.4%，较上月 下降0.2个百分点。白雪认为，最新公布的12月非农新增就业人数虽然继续小幅降温，但并未"失速"， 这在一定程度上缓解了美联储对就业进一步走弱的担忧。 中经记者 谭志娟 北京报道 2026年1月29日凌晨，美联储结束为期两天的货币政策会议，宣布将联邦基金利率目标区间维持在3.5% —3.75%不变。此举意味着，美联储在经历自2025年9月以来的连续三次降息后，本次选择按兵不动。 值得注意的是，在此次参与利率决策投票的12名票委中，美联储理事斯蒂芬·米兰（Stephen Miran）和 克里斯托弗·沃勒（Christopher Waller）投出反对票，二人主张降息25个基点。 东方金诚研究发展部高级副总监白雪对《中国经营报》记者表示："本次会议声明与鲍威尔讲话均显 示，美联储对当前经济形势更加乐观。这与近期经济、就业数据走势相印证，是本次会议暂停降息的主 要原因。" 记者注意到，本次声明删除了"就业风险增加"等表述，并指出经济形势有所改善，尤其在失业率上升方 面出现企稳迹象。这一变化在一定程度上暗示，美联储决 ...

三星电子同时宣布计划回购3.57万亿韩元（约合25亿美元）的股份，以回馈股东。继公司股价在2025年实现翻倍之后，本月又上涨约 35%，反映市场对其AI相关业务的高度预期和投资信心。 AI推动半导体芯片部门业绩大增 三星半导体部门贡献了其中的16.4万亿韩元（约合114亿美元）营业利润，贡献了集团80%的营业利润，远超分析师平均预期的10.85万亿 韩元（约合75.6亿美元）。该部门运营利润的强劲增长主要得益于AI高性能计算服务器及数据中心对高带宽存储（HBM）产品的旺盛需 求。 高带宽存储（HBM）相比标准DRAM，每单位内存所需晶圆产能约为三倍。这导致部分传统DRAM和NAND供应紧张，推动个人电脑和 智能手机用存储芯片价格上升。这一供需紧张直接为三星电子和竞争对手SK海力士创造了显著收益。 SK海力士在1月28日公布的财报显示，该公司同样录得历史新高营收与利润。其HBM产品在AI市场需求推动下表现出强劲增长，成为公 司盈利的重要支撑。Pictet资产管理高级投资经理李英宰（Young Jae Lee）表示："SK海力士在HBM技术上仍领先，而三星电子正全力追 赶。投资者将密切关注两家公司对存储市场前景的 ...
