美国个人投资者协会最新公布的周度情绪调查显示，截至5月20日当周，投资者对美股未来六个月走势的悲观情绪显著升温，看空比例大幅攀升至43.6%，而看涨比例则回落至31.7%。 这一数据与此前一周形成鲜明对比。截至5月13日当周，AAII调查中看涨比例为39.3%，看空比例为36.6%。短短一周内，看空比例跳升7个百分点，而看涨比例则下降7.6个百分点。目前看空比例已大幅超越37.5%的历史平均水平，看涨比例则低于同一基准。 AAII情绪调查始于1987年，每周向协会会员询问对未来六个月股市走向的看法，被市场广泛视为重要的反向指标。历史上，当个人投资者情绪过于悲观时，往往预示着市场可能迎来反弹机会。 与此同时，机构投资者的情绪同样趋于谨慎。 加拿大皇家银行 策略师团队指出，受对人工智能领域的担忧等因素影响，股市正出现一轮情绪回落，且这一过程大概率仍将持续。 分析人士认为，通胀担忧、地缘政治不确定性以及财报季中企业盈利预期的下调，可能是导致投资者信心转弱的主要原因。 责任编辑：张俊 SF065

Stock Market Today: The Dow Jones index wavered Thursday after surprise jobless claims data. Nvidia stock fell despite strong earnings.

President Trump said Thursday that he had postponed a signing ceremony for the order because he “didn’t like certain aspects of it.” Here’s what’s going on.

The company's most recent quarter was a blowout. Q1 2026 revenue surged 54% year-over-year to a record $90.1 million, beating consensus by 18%. Adjusted EBITDA nearly doubled to $25.0 million, crushing estimates by 139%, while adjusted gross margin expanded to 47%, seven points above the company's own target. Revenue from Big Tech customers outside its largest client grew 453% year-over-year. Management raised full-year revenue growth guidance to 40% or more and announced new engagements with a Big Tech customer expected to generate approximately $51 million in incremental 2026 revenue. Innodata is a global data engineering company that has become a critical infrastructure partner for the world's largest AI labs. The company provides AI training and post-training data, model evaluation, alignment, safety testing, and deployment services, representing the human-in-the-loop layer that frontier generative AI models depend on. With over 12,000 professionals across more than 70 countries, Innodata serves multiple Big Tech clients including several members of the Magnificent Seven, and recently launched a dedicated Federal practice to pursue U.S. government AI contracts. But for investors searching for AI stocks that may still have the potential for outsized returns, smaller companies further down the AI supply chain may offer greater upside. Three that stand out are Innodata (INOD), Credo Technology Group (CRDO), and Qualcomm (QCOM). That does not diminish Nvidia's investment case. The company remains one of the highest-quality businesses in the market and continues to warrant a core position in many portfolios, supported by robust growth expectations and a still-reasonable valuation of roughly 27x forward earnings alongside projected long-term EPS growth of 41% annually. Investors who own broad index funds already likely have substantial exposure. Nvidia stock has been on an extraordinary run, climbing roughly 1,500% since bottoming in late 2022. Yet despite that incred...

Once again, Nvidia (NVDA) delivered a record quarterly earnings report, with profits growing 140% year over year and revenue rising 85%, both ahead of analyst expectations. One particularly interesting development was the introduction of a new reporting segment: Edge. In classic Jensen Huang fashion, Nvidia appears to already be positioning for the next evolution of AI, recognizing that the long-term opportunity extends beyond massive data centers and into AI running directly on personal devices and at the network edge. Nvidia stock has been on an extraordinary run, climbing roughly 1,500% since bottoming in late 2022. Yet despite that incredible performance, shares have actually lagged parts of the semiconductor industry over the last year and year-to-date, highlighting the reality that sustaining exceptional gains becomes increasingly difficult as companies reach enormous scale. Even Nvidia's newly authorized $80 billion share repurchase program, an eye-popping figure in absolute terms, represents only a modest percentage of its roughly $5.5 trillion market capitalization. That does not diminish Nvidia's investment case. The company remains one of the highest-quality businesses in the market and continues to warrant a core position in many portfolios, supported by robust growth expectations and a still-reasonable valuation of roughly 27x forward earnings alongside projected long-term EPS growth of 41% annually.

In this article META Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT A worker stands inside the Meta Lab in Los Angeles, California, U.S., May 20, 2026. Daniel Cole | Reuters Meta Platforms on Thursday reached a settlement in the first case set for trial seeking to make social media companies cover the costs that school districts say they have incurred to combat a mental health crisis allegedly fueled by platforms. The agreement fully resolves a lawsuit brought by a Kentucky school district, following earlier settlements by co-defendants Alphabet's YouTube, Snap and TikTok. The case had been scheduled for a June 15 trial in federal court in Oakland, California. "We've resolved this case amicably and remain focused on our longstanding work to build protections like Teen Accounts that help teens stay safe online, while giving parents simple controls to support their families," said a spokesperson for Meta. Breathitt County School District, a small rural district in Appalachia, accused the companies of designing their platforms to keep young users hooked, driving anxiety, depression and self-harm among students and leaving schools to deal with the consequences. Breathitt is among roughly 1,200 school districts pursuing similar claims. Its case was selected as a bellwether, or test case, for those lawsuits. The lawsuit sought over $60 million to cover the costs of counteracting the impact of social media on students' mental health and to fund a 15-year mental health program to abate the problem. It also sought a court order requiring the companies to modify their platforms to reduce addictive features.

David Bautista/iStock Editorial via Getty Images As I covered a few months ago, I see Grupo Cibest S.A. ( CIB ) as an interesting growth play in the global banking sector due to its exposure to Latin American countries that remain with somewhat low levels of banking penetration compared to developed countries. However, due to recent macroeconomic issues, the risk premium for emerging market stocks has increased lately, leading to a negative performance for Cibest’s shares since my previous article. Article performance (Seeking Alpha) Despite that, the bank reported a positive operating momentum in its Q1 2026 financial results, which were recently released. This was supported by economic growth in Colombia despite some macro headwinds, including inflation pressures, a deterioration in the fiscal condition, and the Iran War. GDP growth in Colombia was 2.7% during the first quarter of the year, which is a good growth pace, supported by private consumption, public spending, and a robust labor market. As inflation is expected to increase in Colombia to about 6.4% during 2026, there are expectations for interest rate hikes over the coming quarters. Cibest expects the policy rate to potentially rise as much as 350 basis points during this year, to a level of 12.75% by year-end. GDP and Inflation (Cibest) As the central bank is expected to make rate hikes ahead, this should be a tailwind for the bank’s net interest income (NII) in the short term and also for its margins, as usually asset yields tend to be more sensitive to rate moves than deposits. As the bank is highly exposed to the domestic market, generating some 70% of its revenues, interest rates in Colombia are a very important factor for its financial performance in the short term, with a rising interest rate environment being positive for revenue and earnings growth. This was already visible during Q1 2026 earnings, given that its net interest margin (NIM) increased to a level around 7%, from an average NIM of 6.5...

AMD's $10B Investment in Taiwan: 2nm EPYC Venice Chips and AI Infrastructure Surge - News and Statistics IndexBox

Texas Instruments TXN is experiencing strong momentum from artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure and data center demand, which is emerging as an important contributor to revenue growth. During the first quarter of 2026, the company’s data center business revenues grew about 90% year over year and more than 25% sequentially, making it one of the fastest-growing segments in its portfolio. The company generated $4.83 billion in revenues in the first quarter of 2026, reflecting 19% year-over-year growth and a 9% sequential increase. The robust growth was driven by rising power requirements in AI-focused data centers. Advanced AI servers and graphics processing units (GPUs) require increasingly complex power delivery systems, creating demand for analog semiconductors and power management solutions. Texas Instruments indicated that power density and energy delivery are becoming critical areas across modern AI infrastructure. Beyond specialized chips, the company also benefits from supplying a broad range of general-purpose analog components used throughout AI server racks. These systems contain thousands of analog and power-related semiconductors, enabling Texas Instruments to participate across multiple layers of the infrastructure buildout rather than relying on a single product category. Texas Instruments also highlighted growing opportunities in application-specific power solutions, including voltage regulation modules, high-voltage power conversion technologies and gallium nitride-based products. The company expects momentum in these areas to strengthen further during the second half of 2026 and into 2027, as AI infrastructure deployments continue expanding. Another key advantage is the company’s internal manufacturing and supply capabilities. During the lastearnings call Texas Instruments stated that its broad product portfolio, stable lead times, inventory position and North American manufacturing footprint are helping it support customers consistently amid t...

佐敦文苑樓深夜發生火警，至少一死五傷，消防在起火單位內找到一具焦屍，警方初步資料指，死者為71歲男子。 起火的是文苑樓高層單位，大廈正維修，隔住棚架棚網都清晰見到火光，消防架起雲梯灌救，防止火勢蔓延。 有長者救出時要帶上氧氣面罩。有住戶不適，清醒由擔架抬上救護車，過百名住戶自行疏散。 警方周四晚近11時接獲大廈保安報有火警，最終在單位內找到一具焦屍，是71歲男子。 有居民稱，火警初時聽不到警鐘響。 文苑樓住戶黎先生稱：「最初無(聽到)，下樓一會，等了一段時間才有(火警鐘)響。我們住在火警位置樓上，一開窗濃煙就攻入，我們一開窗就見到有煙入屋，然後馬上拿東西走，很濃的，很大味道。」 文苑樓住戶馮婆婆說：「很多煙。擔心從下面燒上去， 我們下面就是(起火位置)，我們15樓，下面是13樓。害怕到手到震，樓梯很多煙，我不能走動了。」 文苑樓住戶黃小姐指出：「我們下來時候有人大叫火警，但那時火警鐘未響，我住16樓的，我們走到地面才聽到火警鐘響，才知道13樓單位火警。中途經過火警樓層，濃煙比較大，我(住)的那層，防火門是打開，對的，幸好途中那些都關好門，還好。」 記者問：「為何打開了？」 黃小姐回答：「外面有很多建築物料。」 消防午夜約12時將火救熄，驟眼看外牆棚網未受波及。 文苑樓住戶李先生表示：「棚網新換的，剛剛才換上去，因為大廈維修(去年)12月暫停，到三、四月才新換棚網，我們大廈翻新工程仍在進行，未完工的。」 記者問：「會否擔心燒著？」 李先生回應：「不會，因為我們知道應該無問題。」 傷者送院治理，包括一名67歲女子腿部燒傷。

The risk of snakebites is increasing across the world as reptiles shift their habitats to cope with rising temperatures and growing human pressures, a study of venomous snakes has found. Spitting cobras in Africa, vipers in Europe and South America, cottonmouth moccasins in North America and kraits in Asia are coming into greater contact with people as a result of climate disruption and landscape change, according to the research, which was led by the World Health Organization. This trend is forecast to become more pronounced in the coming decades as snakes – like many other species – adjust their range to escape hotter conditions. Most species will suffer a decline of habitat, but a significant number of the deadliest snakes are likely to spread more widely, taking them into areas where they have not been seen before and potentially affecting billions of people. “The overlap between humans and venomous snakes will be greater,” said one of the authors, David Williams of the WHO and the University of Melbourne. “You could consider this a risk of walking out of the back door, stumbling and getting bitten.” Snakebite statistics are sketchy because many happen in remote areas and go unreported. But the authors of the new paper say there are about 4m cases every year, mostly in the tropics. The vast majority are not dangerous, but there are 138,000 deaths and 400,000 disabilities annually – almost half of which occur in south Asia. Until now the distribution of risk was understood at a local or national level, with little analysis of how this could alter in the future as a result of climate and demographic trends. The study, published in PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases on Thursday, aims to fill that knowledge gap. Using public and private databases, citizen science platforms, museum records, scientific literature and expert observations, the researchers mapped the distributions of all 508 medically important snake species across the planet to a granularity of 1 sq km.

When looking through charts, I tend to focus on strength and look for potential movers or stocks that just have broken out. This week, I took a different approach and found a giant that is seemingly on the ropes but looks ready to fight back – JPMorgan Chase (JPM) . It's no secret that the financial sector has been the worst performing sector year to date. The State Street Financial Sector ETF (XLF) is down 5.3% for 2026. Now the financials face the possibility of rising rates. From a fundamental perspective, it's not the ideal scenario to jump into. However, when others are fearful, they may not see the opportunity or have the stomach to pull the trigger to buy into that weakness. This is where the charts come in handy. JPM is now at key levels where we have a more clear and definable risk/reward opportunity. When looking at the charts on multiple time frames we're at a measurable risk level and think it might be an opportune time to get involved now. The setup: Short term First, we examine the one-year daily chart. I'll admit this is not the best-looking chart. We have major resistance just above $320 and what appears to be a rounded topping formation. However, we are returning to our longer-term uptrend and critical anchored volume weighted price (AVWAP) levels which go back to last April's reversal low and the May gap that helped ignite the rally. These AVWAP levels are considered strong areas of interest and good support areas to add to a position. The setup: Long-term I was always taught – when in doubt, back it out. So here we look at the same chart going back five years on a weekly basis and we see a strong uptrend being tested. That key level we are watching in the one-year daily chart coincides with the weekly chart as well. This is our observable and measured risk level. Then there's momentum. The RSI on both time frames shows a bullish divergence. Meaning as price made a new low, its momentum did not. On the daily chart the RSI also triggered a buy signa...
