上周末美军抓获委内瑞拉总统马杜罗，总统特朗普表态称美国将暂时 "管控" 这个石油资源丰富的国 家。在此之后，周一基准油价先跌后涨，美股集体收涨。 这位擅长逆向布局的抄底投资者写道，美国在 "短短几秒内" 就完成了俄罗斯耗时三年都未能在乌克兰 达成的目标，"普京怕是要惊掉下巴"。 电影《大空头》原型迈克尔・伯里（Michael Burry）表示，美国对委内瑞拉的突袭行动，其重要性远超 当前市场平淡反应所显示的程度。 这位因准确预测2008年美国金融危机前房地产崩盘而声名鹊起的投资人，近期已从对冲基金经理转型为 Substack专栏作者。他于周一早间发文称，这场事件将带来中长期 "游戏规则的改变"，"市场尚未充分 消化上周末事件可能引发的种种后果"。 他随后在X平台发文补充道："尽管市场反应平淡，但这已是一场范式转变。" 伯里还预测，委内瑞拉石油的持续流入将为美国带来 "长期利好"，这意味着汽油、柴油与航空燃油价 格都将下行。他表示，此举或将拉低物价、惠及消费者（尤其是低收入群体），降低供应链成本，并为 企业主缓解部分未来发展的不确定性。 尽管如此，机构分析称，要实现特朗普提出的、由美国主导振兴深陷困境的委内瑞拉 ...

智通财经APP获悉，大众汽车(VWAGY.US)曾凭借超五成的市场份额在中国市场独占鳌头。如今，它却 选择在合肥——这座人口约一千万的中部城市，豪掷30亿欧元(约合35亿美元)，打造其除德国本土之外 规模最大的研发基地。这家德国汽车巨头正在中国这个全球规模最大且竞争最为激烈的汽车市场，下一 场"重注"。只是，这场豪赌究竟能否收获成效，仍是未知数。 这与外资车企在华运营数十年的模式截然不同：过去，它们把海外开发的车型直接国产，并向本土伙伴 输出技术。如今，这一套路已被迅速崛起的本土对手挤到边缘，后者大幅吞噬了外资品牌的销量。 "这种商业模式已经消亡。"大众汽车集团(中国)首席技术官托马斯·乌尔布里希称。 中国消费者说了算 过去五年，中国市场的剧变令外资车企节节败退。 电动汽车已占新车销量约一半，消费者还期待它们配备最新数字功能：从iPad般的大屏到自动泊车等驾 驶辅助。 乌尔布里希称之为"范式转变"。2022年，大众正式启动对华战略的最新一轮大调整。 该公司正专为中国的驾驶者开发车型——这些车可能永远不会出现在欧洲街头，但或会出口至中东及东 南亚。 随着新车型陆续上市，大众将验证这笔投资能否帮助其追上比亚迪、吉 ...

本报（chinatimes.net.cn）记者张玫 北京报道 12月12日，由华夏时报社主办的第十九届华夏机构投资者年会暨华夏金融（保险）科技论坛在北京举 行。银河基金基金经理金烨在会上发表演讲，对2025年有色金属市场的"意外"上涨行情进行了深度剖 析。 他指出，金、银、铜、铝乃至小金属的价格普涨，正使得依赖传统宏观经济指标（如中国PMI、地产数 据或美元实际利率）的分析框架逐渐"失灵"。他认为，这一现象背后是深刻的范式转变：贵金属的定价 核心边际已转向以中国央行为代表的全球购金需求；而工业金属的景气度则与AI、新能源等新兴产业 的资本开支关联日益紧密，显著对冲了传统需求的下行。此外，金烨还分享了其在组合管理中控制回 撤、平衡风险收益的三项核心原则。 金价狂奔，股价"慢牛" 金烨在会上表示，回顾2025年，最令人意外的市场现象是上游有色金属价格的全面上涨。他列举了一系 列数据：国际金价在之前两年累计上涨50%的基础上，年内涨幅再超60%；白银价格涨幅也超过50%。 此外，工业金属中，截至11月30日，LME铜、铝、锡年内分别上涨27%、12%和35%，钨价上涨超 100%。 能源金属方面，钴价涨幅超过100 ...
