路透纽约1月22日 - 美国股市道琼斯工业指数和标普500指数周五收盘小幅走低，受蓝筹科技巨头英特尔和IBM公布季度业绩后下跌拖累，且未来几个月经济全面重启的希望变得渺茫。 IBM大跌9.91%，给道指造成最大拖累，此前该公司未能实现季度营收预期，受到软件部门罕见销售下滑影响。 英特尔股价大跌9.29%，新任执行长Pat Gelsinger在财报公布后发表的言论表明，英特尔并不很欢迎外包。 不过，微软、苹果上涨限制科技股跌幅，也限制了美国主要股指的跌幅，且给纳指带去微微提振。 能源股和金融股在标普11大类股中跑输，防御性公用事业股和房地产股上涨。 6 Meridien首席投资官Andrew Mies表示：“重启题材的任何延迟或挫折，都可能对能源行业造成不利影响。” “(但)市场告诉你，现在对景气类股的信心正在减弱。” 标普500指数和纳指在开盘后不久就收复了部分失地，因数据显示，美国年初制造业活动接近14年高位。 这与欧洲早些时候公布的令人失望的PMI数据形成鲜明对比。 道琼斯工业指数下跌179.03点，或0.57%，至30,996.98点；标普500指数下跌11.6点，或0.30%，至3,841.47点；纳斯达克指数上涨12.15点，或0.09%，至13,543.06点。 美国各证交所共计成交127.9亿股，过去20个完整交易日的日均成交量为126.8亿股。 尽管表现疲软，但三大股指仍录得周线涨幅，以科技股为主的纳指有望创下去年11月6日以来的最佳周度表现，因投资者在未来几周公布财报前，纷纷入手Alphabet、苹果和亚马逊股票。 本周，标普500指数上涨1.94%，道指上涨0.59%，纳指上涨4.19%。 股市估值接近网络时代以来最高之际，一些市场参与者表示，变异病毒和疫苗接种过程中的问题构成了短期风险。 美国总统拜登周五表示，美国经济危机正在加深，政府现在需要采取重大行动来帮助陷入困境的美国民众。 “投资者一周前感受到的绝对信心……其中一些正开始淡出市场，”Mies补充表示，他指的是有关疫情好转和经济重启。 美国参议院财政委员会周五全票通过了叶伦出任美国首位女财政部长的提名，将她的提名提交参议院全体表决，这表明她将轻松获得批准。 纽约证交所跌涨股家数比为1.00:1，纳斯达克市场涨跌股家数比为1.53:1。 有16只标普500指数成分股触及52周新高，没有成分股触及新低；有189只纳斯达克指数成分股触及新高，七只触及新低。(完) for-phone-onlyfor-tablet-portrait-upfor-tablet-landscape-upfor-desktop-upfor-wide-desktop-up Read More
