Google

Google isn’t the same feel-good company it was 10 years ago. But while the “Don’t be evil” motto has changed and fewer people think of Google as a benevolent overlord, the company isn’t actually any more terrible than any other. It’s just fun to argue about tech on the internet.…

路透纽约12月31日 - 美国股市周四以道琼斯工业指数和标普500指数创历史新高结束了动荡的一年，尽管经济受到新冠疫情大流行的重创，但投资者将目光转向大流行后的前景，美国三大股指录得惊人强劲的年度涨幅。 由于大流行致使政府采取的封锁措施打击了全球经济，有记录以来持续时间最长的牛市在今年嘎然而止；但股市之后大幅反弹，标普500指数从3月23日的低点攀升了66%以上，形成了历史上最短的熊市。 道指和标普500指数在2020年的最后一个交易日收于纪录高位，而本周早些时候纳斯达克指数也创纪录新高，涨势部分源于实施了大规模财政和货币刺激措施，以支撑受到新冠病毒大流行打击的经济，以及疫苗方面取得进展。 2020年，标普500指数上涨了16.3%，道指上涨了7.2%，纳斯达克指数飙升了43.6%，这是该指数自2009年以来最大的年度涨幅。 Harvest Volatility Management研究和交易主管Mike Zigmont表示:“对整体指数而言，今年是牛市的一年，尽管现实世界是疯狂的。” “在我看来，投资者认为世界已经永远改变了，冠状病毒大流行是催化剂，现在投资者已经决定谁是赢家，谁是输家，并在继续前进。” 不过，周四公布的数据提醒美国经济未来复苏的道路仍漫长，上周初请失业金人数虽连续第二周下降，至78.7万人，但仍远高于2007-2009年大衰退时期的峰值。 科技股和非必需消费品股是今年表现最好的类股，而过去10年表现落后的能源股则再次成为标普11大类股中年度表现最差的板块。 亚马逊、苹果等超大市值公司扶助提振标普500指数和纳斯达克指数，起到推动作用的还有受益于“居家令”的个股，如在线零售商ETSY和数字支付平台PayPal等。 特斯拉在12月21日被纳入标普指数，该股年内涨幅达到惊人的743%。 道琼斯工业指数上涨196.92点，或0.65%，至30,606.48点；标普500指数上涨24.03点，或0.64%，至3,756.07点；纳斯达克指数上涨18.28点，或0.14%，至12,888.28点。 三大股指收高，道指和标普500指数在收盘前最后几分钟上涨，并创下纪录高位。 周三，美国参议院共和党领袖麦康奈尔阻止了就总统特朗普支持的将纾困支票金额从600美元增加到2,000美元的议案快速进行投票，这降低了人们对近期出台更大规模刺激资金的预期。 风险资产在3月触及低位后大幅反弹，并守住涨幅，11月涨势扩大，受美国大选和围绕疫苗获批的乐观情绪推动。投资者原本认为美国大选结果可能导致政治僵局。不过，涨势随后陷入停滞，由于担心新的财政刺激措施和一种高传染性的新冠变异边度在全球蔓延。 所有人的目光都集中在下周在乔治亚州举行的两个美国参议院席位选举上，这将决定参议院的控制权，并影响民主党当选总统拜登实施其计划的能力。 美国各证交所共计成交92.7亿股，过去20个完整交易日的日均成交量为108.1亿股。 纽约证交所涨跌股家数比为1.44:1，纳斯达克市场跌涨股家数比为1.13:1。 有29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131只纳斯达克指数成分股触及新高，21只触及新低。(完) for-phone-onlyfor-tablet-portrait-upfor-tablet-landscape-upfor-desktop-upfor-wide-desktop-up Read More
