Summary of Key Points from the Conference Call Industry Overview - The analysis focuses on the **artificial intelligence (AI)** sector and its implications for the broader **technology industry** in the context of potential asset bubbles and market volatility [1][2][3][9]. Core Insights and Arguments - **Bubble Formation**: The current environment is characterized by signs of an emerging bubble, similar to historical tech booms, driven by rapid advancements in AI and government support [2][3][9]. - **Market Dynamics**: The U.S. stock market is experiencing a lag compared to global markets, with concerns about low valuations and the "American exceptionalism" narrative reaching its peak [3][18]. - **Volatility Indicators**: The U.S. technology sector shows signs of bubble risk, with volatility increasing as prices rise, a typical characteristic of asset bubbles [11][12][18]. - **Government Influence**: Unlike previous tech bubbles, the current situation is exacerbated by government policies that support AI development, which is seen as crucial for geopolitical competitiveness [9][25]. - **Investment Risks**: The potential for a significant downturn exists if AI fails to meet high expectations, with the timing of any bubble peak being particularly uncertain [30][43]. Additional Important Content - **Historical Context**: The report draws parallels with past bubbles, such as the 1920s and 1990s, highlighting that major technological leaps often lead to prolonged asset bubbles [6][8][18]. - **Market Sentiment**: There is a prevailing fear of missing out (FOMO) among investors, which is driving speculative behavior and contributing to market instability [3][26]. - **Valuation Comparisons**: Current valuations of U.S. tech companies, while elevated, remain below the peaks seen during the late 1990s internet bubble, suggesting potential for further price increases [18][21]. - **Sector-Specific Trends**: Certain sectors, such as nuclear energy and quantum computing, are exhibiting bubble-like instability, indicating that not all areas of the market are equally affected [14][26]. - **Future Projections**: The AI sector is expected to see substantial growth, with predictions of annual spending reaching $3-4 trillion by 2030, but this growth is contingent on achieving significant technological breakthroughs [29][30]. Conclusion - The analysis concludes that the AI sector is likely to experience further bubble-like conditions, with large tech companies thriving amidst these dynamics. However, the timing of any potential market corrections remains highly uncertain, necessitating close monitoring of market signals [38][43].

近期博通备受市场关注，很大程度上源于其与多家头部人工智能模型提供商的合作。例如，OpenAI已 与博通签订协议，采用其定制的人工智能芯片设计方案。博通也是谷歌TPU项目的重要合作伙伴，负责 TPU芯片的工程实现。受益于大规模数据中心建设带来的定制芯片需求，博通在人工智能芯片市场中所 占份额正持续扩大。博通公司首席执行官陈福阳预计，公司2026财年一季度人工智能半导体业务营收将 同比翻倍，达到82亿美元。但是，与不断增长的营 收预期形成对比的是公司的利润率下降。陈福阳表 示，由于"人工智能业务占比提高"，其2026年一季度毛利率将低于前三个季度水平。毛利较低的定制化 AI处理器销售占比持续攀升，挤压整体获利能力，引发市场对博通业务盈利性可能下滑的担忧。投资 者对大型科技公司在AI投资回报方面的担忧正在加剧。（经济日报记者 周明阳） 受博通与甲骨文业绩引发的人工智能泡沫担忧，加之美联储降息后市场对政策的谨慎情绪，以及美国国 债收益率的上扬，当地时间12月12日，美股主要指数全线下跌。芯片巨头博通股价收盘下跌11.4％，市 值蒸发约2200亿美元。 （来源：经济日报） 转自：经济日报 ...

12月10日，美联储宣布，将联邦基金利率目标区间下调25个基点至3.5%-3.75%之间。这是美联储年内第 三次降息。自再次执政以来，特朗普已多次公开指责美联储降息"动作迟缓"。尽管这一降息决定符合特 朗普的诉求，但他仍然批评降息幅度太小。这表明美联储与特朗普政府之间的分歧仍未有效弥合。外界 对未来美联储货币政策的研判，不能再仅依据传统的经济指标变化，更应考虑政治对货币政策的影响。 美联储内部的分歧也凸显货币政策政治化倾向。在本次美联储投票决定降息25个基点过程中，12名委员 中有3名投下反对票。这是自2019年以来出现反对票最多的情况，反映出美联储内部对于货币政策的分 歧正在加大。特朗普任命的美联储理事斯蒂芬•米兰投下反对票的理由是，他认为应降息50个基点。白 宫国家经济委员会主任哈西特表示，美联储有充足的降息空间，可能还需要进一步降息。特朗普则表示 降息幅度应扩大两倍。 减少财政债务利息支出是特朗普政府要求大幅降息的直接动因。截至2025年12月11日，美国国债超过 37.7万亿美元。按照3.5%的联邦基金利率测算，联邦政府每年需支付利息超过1.32万亿美元。而美联储 每降息一个百分点，联邦政府的债务利息 ...

12月15日（周一），高盛（Goldman Sachs）将2026年铜价预估从此前的每吨10,650美元上调至每吨 11,400美元，理由是精炼铜关税在2026年上半年实施的可能性降低，对可负担性的担忧成为当务之急。 与此同时，由于COMEX期铜上涨，本已创下历史新高的COMEX铜库存仍在持续增加。美国将精炼铜 排除在8月份生效的50%进口关税之外，但仍在对其进行审查。 芝商所发布的数据显示，12月12日COMEX铜库存达到450,618短吨，创历史新高水平。 高盛表示，特朗普政府有55%的可能性在2026年上半年宣布对铜进口征收15%的关税，并计划于2027年 实施，并可能在2028年提高到30%。 该投资银行表示，未来关税的前景可能会使美国铜价高于LME铜，并推升库存，这将收紧美国以外市 场的供应，而美国现在是全球铜价的关键驱动力。 高盛表示："对2027年铜价的预估维持在每吨10,750美元不变，我们预测一旦关税就位和美国以外市场 恢复平衡，那么LME铜价将回落。" 该行还将2026年全球市场供应过剩规模的预测从16万吨上调至30万吨。 （文华综合） 伦敦金属交易所（LME）三个月期铜周一上涨140.5 ...

三年前，OpenAI发布了火爆一时的ChatGPT，引发了人们对人工智能（AI）的狂热。尽管资金仍在源 源不断地涌入，但人们也愈发质疑这股热潮能否持续下去。 从近期英伟达股票遭到抛售，到甲骨文公司在报告AI支出增加后的股价暴跌，再到围绕OpenAI相关公 司的市场情绪恶化，种种迹象表明，投资者对AI的怀疑情绪正在加剧。 展望2026年，华尔街上关于AI泡沫的激辩开始变得不同了。他们普遍确信那就是个泡沫，并开始争论 最终戳破泡沫的会是什么，以及是在潜在的泡沫破裂之前控制AI风险敞口，还是冒险加倍下注，利用 这项改变游戏规则的技术。 资本管理公司Callodine Capital Management首席执行官Jim Morrow表示："我们正处于经济周期的关键阶 段。这是一个很好的故事，但我们现在有点急于观望，看看投资回报是否会很好。" AI交易的令人不安之处包括它的商业化应用、开发它的巨大成本，以及消费者最终是否会为这些服务 付费。这些答案将对股市的未来产生重大影响。标普500指数近三年的牛市在很大程度上是由谷歌和微 软等科技巨头，以及芯片制造商英伟达和博通等受益于AI基础设施支出的公司推动的。如果它们停止 ...
