10月21日,美国股市维持在接近历史高点的水平,与此同时,企业夏季财报的“闸门”正式开启,众多公司开始披露今夏盈利情况。
标普500指数在早盘中基本持平,仅比本月早些时候创下的历史高点低0.2%。截至美国东部时间上午9点35分,道琼斯工业平均指数上涨5点,涨幅不足0.1%,纳斯达克综合指数则下跌了0.1%。
通用汽车(General Motors)公布的季度业绩超出分析师预期,同时上调了部分全年业绩目标,公司股价随后上涨10.2%。其首席执行官玛丽・巴拉表示,公司正迅速采取行动,以减少2026年以及未来电动汽车业务的亏损,因为“公司当前明确地看到”,电动汽车的普及率将低于此前计划。
因最新季度利润超出分析师预期,石油天然气生产商服务提供商哈利伯顿(Halliburton)以及生命科学与诊断公司丹纳赫(Danaher)的股价均大涨至少8%。由于同样给出了超出华尔街利润预期的业绩,可口可乐和通用电气航空航天(GE Aerospace)的股价分别上涨了3.4%和4.2%。
华纳兄弟探索公司(Warner Bros. Discovery)此前已宣布将剥离探索全球(Discovery Global),而该公司近日表示正考虑其他可能为股东带来更高收益的方案,消息一出,其股价飙升10.6%。华纳兄弟探索公司称,之所以做出这一决定,原因在于收到了“多方”意向,这些意向方要么对整个公司感兴趣,要么对华纳兄弟业务感兴趣。
上述个股的上涨帮助抵消了住宅建筑商PulteGroup股价下跌的影响。尽管这家住宅建筑商的利润超出分析师预期,但其股价仍下跌了4.1%。国防科技公司诺斯罗普格鲁曼公司(Northrop Grumman)因上季度营收未达分析师预期,股价下滑了2.3%。
多只大型科技股不复上涨态势,在此前上涨后进入休整期,因而对整体市场形成了压制。谷歌母公司Alphabet股价从历史高点下跌 1.3%,成为对标普500指数拖累最大的单一成分股。
近期金融市场中其他涨幅显著的资产也纷纷暂停上涨。黄金价格从最新创下的历史高点下跌3.3%,回落至每盎司4215.60美元。不过,今年以来黄金价格仍累计上涨了近60%。
自4月低点以来,标普500指数大幅上涨了35%,让很多企业承压,因为企业需证明自身利润亦会随之增长。有鉴于目前市场普遍批评部分个股股价过高,因此利润增长是企业证明其高股价合理性的途径之一。
美国政府的停摆导致重要经济数据更新延迟,因此企业财报的重要性也随之上升,因为它们为判断美国经济活力提供了详细依据。这一情况加大了美联储的工作难度,因为该机构正在研究在当前经济形势下,高通胀与就业市场放缓哪一个问题更为严峻。
尽管政府处于停摆状态,但美国商务部仍将于周五发布消费者价格报告,该报告有望为美联储的利率政策提供指引。这是自10月1日政府停摆开始以来,政府发布的首份经济数据。
在海外股市方面,欧洲和亚洲的大部分股指均出现上涨。
随着保守派议员高市早苗出任日本首相,日本日经225指数上涨0.3%,逐渐逼近5万点关口。投资者预计,高市早苗将推动实施低利率及其他可能对市场有利的政策。
债券市场方面,美国10年期国债收益率从周一晚间的4.00%回落至3.95%。

The U.S. stock market is holding near its record heights on Tuesday as the floodgates open for companies reporting how much profit they made during the summer.
The S&P 500 was essentially unchanged in early trading and is sitting just 0.2% below its all-time high set earlier this month. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 5 points, or less than 0.1%, as of 9:35 a.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.1% lower.
General Motors rallied 10.2% after reporting stronger quarterly results than analysts expected, while also raising its forecasts for some full-year financial targets. CEO Mary Barra said it’s moving quickly to reduce its losses in 2026 and beyond for its electric-vehicle business, as “it is now clear” that EV adoption will be lower than planned.
Halliburton, the services provider for oil and gas producers, and Danaher, the life sciences and diagnostics company, also jumped to gains of at least 8% after delivering better profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected. Coca-Cola gained 3.4%, and GE Aerospace flew 4.2% higher after they likewise topped Wall Street’s profit expectations.
Warner Bros. Discovery jumped 10.6% after the company, which has already said it would split Discovery Global off Warner Bros., said it’s considering other options that could be more profitable for shareholders. The company said it made the move after hearing from “multiple parties” interested in either the entire company or Warner Bros.
They helped offset a drop for PulteGroup, which fell 4.1% even though the homebuilder delivered a stronger profit than analysts expected. Northrop Grumman slipped 2.3% after its revenue for the latest quarter fell short of analysts’ forecasts.
Several Big Tech stocks lost momentum, taking a break from their own rallies, and kept the market in check. A 1.3% drop for Google parent Alphabet from its all-time high was the single heaviest weight on the S&P 500.
Other big recent winners in financial markets also took a pause. The price of gold fell 3.3% from its latest record, dropping back to $4,215.60 per ounce. It’s still up nearly 60% for the year so far.
The pressure is on companies to show that their profits are growing following a torrid rally of 35% for the S&P 500 from a low in April. It’s one way they can justify their high stock prices amid criticism that they’re too expensive.
Corporate earnings reports also have gained importance because they provide details on the strength of the U.S. economy when the U.S. government’s shutdown has delayed important economic updates. That’s making the job of the Federal Reserve more difficult, as it tries to decide whether high inflation or the slowing job market is the bigger issue for the economy.
Despite the shutdown, the Commerce Department will release its consumer prices report on Friday, which could help guide the Fed’s interest rate policy. It’s the government’s first data release since the shutdown began on Oct. 1.
In stock markets abroad, indexes rose across much of Europe and Asia.
Japan’s Nikkei 225 added 0.3% and crept closer to the 50,000 level as conservative lawmaker Sanae Takaichi became the country’s prime minister. Investors expect her to push for lower interest rates and other policies that could help the market.
In the bond market, the yield on the 10-year Treasury eased to 3.95% from 4.00% late Monday.
