紐約:巴黎與米蘭的股市在週一(10月19日)領跌,拖累整個歐洲股市走低,因法國日益嚴峻的暴力事件及意大利金融之都米蘭的街頭衝突,令對高企債務的憂慮加劇。
大多數板塊被拖低,同時國債再度遭到拋售,歐元走弱。
華爾街表現較歐洲佳,科技股佔比高的納斯達克在上週因人工智能憂慮打擊股市後回穩。道瓊斯指數收市略微下跌。
「感覺像是有點過度拋售後的反彈。」B. Riley Wealth Management 的 Art Hogan 如是表示。
該等反彈是否能延續,或取決於科技公司盈利及其對人工智能投資的說法,因為本週還會有更多公司公佈第三季財報。
「本週的財報對整體風險情緒至關重要。特別是(Facebook 母公司)Meta 將成為五大超級規模公司中首家公布財報的焦點,」Saxo UK 投資策略師尼爾·威爾遜表示。
在歐洲,巴黎股市下跌1.1%,米蘭下挫1.6%。
「歐洲市場對多國出現嚴重民事動盪的畫面反應謹慎,法國總統伊曼紐爾·馬克龍在演說中承認出現的「憤怒與羞恥」,這是法國多年以來最嚴重動盪日之一,」Tickmill 集團的帕特里克·蒙尼利說。
Macron on Sunday slammed the “unbridled” violence that erupted alongside cost-of-living demonstrations across the country, as police battled protesters and looters in fresh clashes in Paris.
Nearly 2,400 people were arrested Saturday in unrest that represented some of the worst urban violence in France in years, with almost 1,000 police injured, the interior ministry said.
It comes as the country’s lawmakers wrangle over a 2027 budget plan that calls for billions of euros in spending cuts but which keeps France’s debt levels extremely high.
Authorities said partial curfews would be enforced from Monday evening to Tuesday morning in a number of cities including Paris, Lille and Lyon, to protect businesses.
In Italy, Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was holding a security meeting Monday to address the Milan violence, which resembled some of the scenes of chaos and looting in Paris.
Elsewhere, Jakarta’s stock market sank more than five per cent Monday, extending Friday’s plunge of more than 11 per cent, to close at its lowest level in six years.
That followed a statement from compiler MSCI said it was “no longer appropriate” to maintain the country’s emerging-market status, fuelling fears of an exodus of foreign investment.
Among individual companies, Amazon shares jumped around five per cent following a positive report from Morgan Stanley equity analysts.
