文 | 银行螺丝钉 （转载请注明出处） 今天上午大盘一度上涨，到下午突然变成下跌。 截止到收盘，还在5星。 今天上午大盘一度上涨，到下午突然变成下跌。 大小盘股微跌，跌幅也差不多。 价值和成长风格也都下跌。 医药医疗等相对坚挺，略微上涨。 港股下午也下跌，不过到尾盘的时候反弹。 港股整体微涨。港股红利等微涨。 港股一季度财报发布也差不多了。 后面也会介绍下港股主流指数，一季度的盈利增长情况。 海外市场也出现了波动。 特朗普又开始搞事情，宣布要对欧洲等商品提高关税。 在消息宣布后，法股、德股指数一度下跌近3%。 美股开盘后也出现波动。 4月初全球市场因为关税事件，也出现过波动，导致全球股票市场一度下跌到4.1-4.2星。 随后5周全球股票市场反弹。 对美元来说，其实也承受不了太高的关税。 关税提高，有可能导致美股通货膨胀率提升；进而影响美联储降息放缓。 而美元债券规模庞大，较高的利率是比较沉重的负担。 高关税更多的是特朗普用来谈判的工具，而非根本目的，也不用太担心。 1. 有朋友问，今年港股医药涨的比较好，现在估值如何？ A股和港股，在医药指数分类上，有一些小的不同点。 （1）A股医药对应的是医药指数，例如中证 ...
