周二,英偉達的股價以驚人的速度飆升至市場頂峰,成為華爾街市值最高的公司。與此同時,在美國經(jīng)濟增長可能放緩但不會崩潰的最新信號發(fā)出后,股指屢創(chuàng)新高。
標準普爾500指數(shù)上漲0.3%,今年第31次創(chuàng)下歷史新高。納斯達克綜合指數(shù)微漲不到0.1%,創(chuàng)歷史新高,道瓊斯工業(yè)平均指數(shù)上漲56點,漲幅為0.1%。
在市場的平靜表面下,英偉達再次成為明星。該公司股價再次上漲,漲幅為3.5%,再次成為推動標準普爾500指數(shù)上漲的強大力量。該公司的總市值再次突破3萬億美元。
英偉達從微軟(Microsoft)手中奪走了華爾街的頭把交椅。在從??松梨冢‥xxon Mobil)和煙草制造商菲利普莫里斯(Philip Morris)等昔日巨頭手中奪得桂冠后,微軟一直在與蘋果(Apple)進行激烈的競爭。
微軟和蘋果是大型科技公司的先鋒,通過在世界數(shù)字化進程中積蓄力量,成為美國股市主導者。英偉達則在更具體的科技浪潮中乘風破浪(這一次是在人工智能領域)。
芯片戰(zhàn)爭
英偉達研發(fā)的芯片正助力開發(fā)人工智能,其支持者預計,人工智能對世界的變革將不亞于互聯(lián)網(wǎng),甚至更甚。事實證明,對英偉達芯片的需求之大令人震驚。英偉達每個季度的營收都會翻三番,其利潤更是以驚人的速度飛速增長。今年以來,該公司股價上漲了近174%,截至5月份,僅英偉達一家公司的漲幅就占到了標準普爾500指數(shù)全年漲幅的近三分之一。
誠然,由少數(shù)幾個超級明星主導美國股市創(chuàng)紀錄上漲的潛在危險是,市場會變得更加脆弱。如果有更多股票參與其中,這可能是市場更為健康的信號。
周二股市普遍受到債券市場收益率下降的提振。一份報告顯示,美國零售銷售額上月恢復增長,但仍低于經(jīng)濟學家的預期,國債收益率隨之下降。
這對美聯(lián)儲來說可能是一個令人鼓舞的信號。該機構正試圖實現(xiàn)經(jīng)濟平衡,但事實證明,這一過程極其艱難。美聯(lián)儲希望通過適度加息來減緩經(jīng)濟增長,使通脹得到控制。人們希望美聯(lián)儲能及時下調(diào)其主要利率(目前利率處于20年來的最高水平),從而使為經(jīng)濟放緩畫下句點而不至于導致令人痛苦的經(jīng)濟衰退。
降息希望
根據(jù)芝加哥商品交易所集團(CME Group)的數(shù)據(jù),零售銷售數(shù)據(jù)公布后,交易員們紛紛押注美聯(lián)儲今年將至少降息兩次。美聯(lián)儲官員自己也基本預計2024年將降息一到兩次。
10年期美國國債收益率從周一尾盤的4.29%降至4.21%。更接近美聯(lián)儲預期的兩年期國債收益率從4.77%降至4.70%。
美國銀行(Bank of America)對全球基金經(jīng)理進行的一項調(diào)查顯示,他們是自2021年秋季以來對股市最樂觀的人,現(xiàn)金儲備相對較少,股票配置比重較大。呼吁經(jīng)濟會陷入嚴重衰退(“硬著陸”場景)的基金經(jīng)理也在減少。
周二數(shù)據(jù)弱于預期的不利之處在于,這可能是一個警示信號,表明美國經(jīng)濟的主要引擎——家庭支出正在崩潰。除了5月份的數(shù)據(jù),美國政府還下調(diào)了前幾個月的零售銷售數(shù)據(jù)。
盡管通脹率自峰值以來已有所放緩,但仍居高不下,尤其是低收入家庭正努力跟上昂貴的物價。
房屋建筑商萊納公司(Lennar)的股價下跌5%。此前該公司聯(lián)席首席執(zhí)行官斯圖爾特·米勒(Stuart Miller)表示,“消費者信心受到挑戰(zhàn)”,以及利率波動正對公司構成考驗。盡管該公司最近一個季度的利潤好于分析師預期,但其股價仍然下跌。
電動汽車制造商菲斯克(Fisker)申請破產(chǎn)保護后,股價下跌逾一半,跌至2美分。該公司稱原因是“各種市場和宏觀經(jīng)濟不利因素”。
華爾街的贏家是La-Z-Boy,該公司在公布最新一個季度的利潤和收入均高于預期后,股價大漲19.4%。這家家具制造商表示,盡管高利率抑制了樓市活動,但本季度也有一個良好的開端,陣亡將士紀念日業(yè)績強勁。
絲綢之路醫(yī)療公司(Silk Road Medical)股價大漲24%。此前波士頓科學公司(Boston Scientific)同意以現(xiàn)金交易方式收購這家醫(yī)療器械公司,該公司包括現(xiàn)金在內(nèi)的估值約為12.6億美元。波士頓科學公司的股價上漲了0.2%。
標準普爾500指數(shù)上漲13.80點,至5487.03點。道瓊斯指數(shù)上漲56.76點,至38834.86點,納斯達克綜合指數(shù)小幅上漲5.21點,至17862.23點。
國外股市方面,歐洲股指在經(jīng)歷了上周的暴跌后繼續(xù)回升。極右翼政黨在選舉中意外獲勝,引發(fā)了人們對債務負擔可能不斷加重的擔憂,尤其是法國政府。
法國CAC 40指數(shù)上漲0.8%,連續(xù)第二個交易日上漲。
在亞洲,(日本)日經(jīng)225指數(shù)上漲1%。重量級企業(yè)豐田汽車(Toyota Motor)股價上漲,此前該公司股東否決了迫使豐田創(chuàng)始人之孫豐田章男(Akio Toyoda)辭去董事長職務的提議。(財富中文網(wǎng))

The staggering run for Nvidia’s stock carried it to the market’s mountaintop Tuesday, as it became the most valuable company on Wall Street. Stock indexes, meanwhile, ticked to more records following the latest signal that the U.S. economy’s growth may be slowing without cratering.
The S&P 500 added 0.3% to set an all-time high for the 31st time this year. The Nasdaq composite edged up by less than 0.1% to set its own record, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average added 56 points, or 0.1%.
________________________________________
Underneath that calm market surface, Nvidia was the star again. It rose again, this time up 3.5%. It was the strongest force pushing the S&P 500 upward, again. And it lifted its total market value further above $3 trillion, again.
It grabbed the top spot on Wall Street from Microsoft, which has been trading the crown back and forth with Apple after they wrested it from past titans like Exxon Mobil and cigarette-maker Philip Morris.
Microsoft and Apple were at the vanguard of Big Tech, which is the dominant force in the U.S. stock market after amassing strength through the digitization of the world. Nvidia is riding the wave of a more specific tech surge, this time in artificial intelligence.
Chip wars
Nvidia’s chips are helping to develop AI, which proponents expect to change the world as much or more than the internet, and demand for its chips has proven to be shockingly voracious. Nvidia’s revenue routinely triples every quarter, and its profit is rocketing at even more breathtaking rates. Its stock is up nearly 174% this year, and Nvidia alone was responsible for nearly a third of the S&P 500’s entire gain for the year through May.
Of course, a potential danger of having a handful of superstars responsible for most of the U.S. stock market’s run to records is a more fragile market. If more stocks were participating, it could be a signal of a healthier market.
Stocks broadly got some lift Tuesday from easing yields in the bond market. Treasury yields fell after a report showed sales at U.S. retailers returned to growth last month but remained below economists’ expectations.
That could be an encouraging signal for the Federal Reserve, which is trying to pull off a tough balancing act for the economy. The Fed wants to slow the economy by just enough through high interest rates to get inflation under control. The hope is that it will cut its main rate, which is at its highest level in two decades, in time so that the slowdown stops short of a painful recession.
Hopes for interest-rate cuts
Following the retail sales data’s release, bets built among traders that the Federal Reserve will cut rates at least twice this year, according to data from CME Group. Fed officials themselves are largely penciling in one or two cuts in 2024.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 4.21% from 4.29% late Monday. The two-year yield, which more closely tracks expectations for the Fed, fell to 4.70% from 4.77%.
A survey of global fund managers by Bank of America showed they’re the most optimistic about stocks since the autumn of 2021, with relatively little hiding out in cash and allocations heavy to stocks. Fewer managers are also calling for a “hard landing” where the economy tumbles into a bad recession.
The downside of Tuesday’s weaker-than-expected data is that it could be a warning signal that the main engine of the U.S. economy, spending by households, is cracking. Alongside May’s numbers, the U.S. government also revised down figures for retail sales in prior months.
Inflation is still high, even if it’s slowed since its peak, and lower-income households in particular are struggling to keep up with the more expensive prices.
Lennar, a homebuilder, fell 5% after co-CEO Stuart Miller said “challenged consumer sentiment” and swings in interest rates are testing the company. Its stock fell even though it reported better profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected.
Shares of Fisker more than halved to 2 cents after the electric-vehicle maker filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The company cited “various market and macroeconomic headwinds.”
On the winning side of Wall Street was La-Z-Boy, which jumped 19.4% after reporting stronger profit and revenue for the latest quarter than expected. The furniture maker said the current quarter is also off to a good start, with a solid Memorial Day, even as high interest rates keep a lid on housing activity.
Silk Road Medical jumped 24% after Boston Scientific agreed to buy the medical device company in a cash deal valuing it at roughly $1.26 billion, including its cash. Boston Scientific added 0.2%.
All told, the S&P 500 rose 13.80 points to 5,487.03. The Dow gained 56.76 to 38,834.86, and the Nasdaq composite edged up by 5.21 to 17,862.23.
In stock markets abroad, indexes continued to recover in Europe following last week’s rout. Surprise victories by far-right parties in elections had raised worries about the potential for mounting debt loads at the French government in particular.
France’s CAC 40 rose 0.8% for a second straight gain.
In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose 1%. Heavyweight Toyota Motor climbed after its shareholders rejected a proposal to force Akio Toyoda, grandson of the automaker’s founder, to leave his post as chairman of the board.
