Stocks sold off in Asia this morning and Europe ticked down as well. U.S. futures were marginally down before the bell following yesterday’s 0.28% decline in the S&P 500. Analysts pointed to the U.S. government shutdown, where a resolution is nowhere in sight, with some no longer seeing two further rate cuts from the Fed coming this year. It’s not chaos, but it’s not good: The S&P 500 lost 0.28% yesterday, and futures this morning are flat—suggesting that traders are unenthusiastic about bidding the mar ...

很多人问我对红十月怎么看。券商喊得很凶，说全球风险偏好回暖，美联储要降息，AI产业又有催 化；说过去十年十月开门红的概率有七成。 这种统计学叙事，孙少睡我一般当天气预报看。出门带不带伞，看得还是天色。 沪指创了近十年新高，但我觉得两市成交额放了那么大量，结果就顶出这么个涨幅，还是有点虚。上是 上去了，但脸也白了，腿也抖了。但是虚嘛，也不用太担心，毕竟多少年都是这么虚过来的。 市场的钱现在就集中在几个地方，AI算力、半导体、创新药。逻辑都很硬。 AI的故事还在停不下来地那么讲，半导体自主可控是必须要做的事，创新药是老龄化社会的刚需。 但硬逻辑不代表马上就能涨，也不代表什么都能涨。现在就是典型的结构性行情。水在几个洼地里打 转，其他地方都是干的。 不在那几个洼地里就只能看着别人洗澡，自己哗哗地干搓泥儿。 9月份的PMI比上个月升了点，是49.8%，但还在荣枯线下面挣扎。生产指数回到了51.2%。 这数字怎么翻译呢？就是复苏还是复苏了一点的，但要说及格，那还得再发展发展。想买东西的人还是 不够多。 这种宏观情绪会传导到大洋彼岸。美联储那帮人也在纠结。纽约联储出来放风，说因为担心劳动力市场 放缓，支持今年再降息。 听 ...
