上周五美股多数收跌，三大股指走势分化。尽管联邦政府结束持续43天的停摆，但上周四主要股指仍录得逾一个月来最大单日跌幅。市场关注焦点集中于两 方面：当前抛售趋势是否持续，以及积压经济数据的解读方式。由于政府停摆导致数据发布延迟，这些信息可能被市场视为过时指标，而人工智能交易的波 动性仍存变数。 债券市场观察人士指出，数据的重要性评估存在分歧 道明证券美国利率策略主管戈德堡认为，市场参与者仍会关注这些数据，但重视程度可能降低，因更及时的新数据即将陆续公布。 9月非农即将出炉，CPI迷雾未散 人工智能交易前景的不确定性，叠加即将集中发布的积压经济数据，使美股市场面临波动风险。这些延迟披露的数据可能呈现就业市场疲软与通胀压力并存 的局面，加剧投资者对经济走势的担忧。 原定10月初发布的9月非农就业报告将于本周四公布。有分析认为，该报告对市场影响可能有限，因11月就业数据将在美联储12月政策会议前发布。但亦有 观点指出，延迟数据的集中发布可能放大市场波动，负面解读的可能性较高。 佛罗里达州经纪公司市场策略主管拉塞尔表示，当前市场情绪倾向于淡化积极信号，更关注就业市场疲软证据。他认为若没有人工智能和数据中心投资支 撑，经 ...
