美國(guó)股市大幅下跌

US stocks were sharply lower in midday on Tuesday, deepening a global sell-off as investors worry that a long winning streak has pushed valuations too far.

美國(guó)股市周二大幅下跌，加劇了全球股市拋售。投資者擔(dān)心近期連續(xù)上漲已使估值達(dá)到過(guò)高水平。

Wall Street was on track for its largest two-day loss in more than five months, with highflying healthcare stocks leading the decline, following steep falls in Asia and Europe earlier in the trading day.

華爾街錄得5個(gè)多月來(lái)最大兩日跌幅，領(lǐng)跌的是最近一路飆升的醫(yī)療保健板塊。當(dāng)日早些時(shí)候亞洲股市和歐洲股市也出現(xiàn)大跌。

Sovereign bond prices came under further pressure, with the yield on the 30-year Treasury bond approaching 3 per cent for the first time since May.

主權(quán)債券價(jià)格進(jìn)一步承壓，30年期美國(guó)國(guó)債收益率自去年5月以來(lái)首次逼近3%。

Falling US Treasury prices precedes the Federal Reserve’s latest policy statement and the Treasury Department’s quarterly refunding announcement, which are both set for release on Wednesday. Investors have already started to anticipate a more hawkish US central bank, with odds that the Fed lifts rates by four quarter-point hikes this year rising rapidly over the past two weeks.

美國(guó)國(guó)債價(jià)格下跌后，美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)(Fed)最新政策聲明和美國(guó)財(cái)政部季度再融資聲明都將于周三發(fā)布。投資者已開(kāi)始預(yù)期美國(guó)央行將采取更為鷹派的政策，在過(guò)去兩周里，對(duì)美聯(lián)儲(chǔ)今年加息4次、每次四分之一點(diǎn)的下注大幅攀升。

“Certainly there is fear over rising inflation and the effect it is having on the bond market. That is the easy bit,” said Nicholas Colas, co founder of DataTrek. “The hard bit is valuation — it leaves the market exposed to exactly what we are seeing today.”

“人們肯定對(duì)通脹上揚(yáng)及其對(duì)債市的影響感到擔(dān)憂。這是容易評(píng)估的因素，”DataTrek公司聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人尼古拉斯•科拉斯(Nicholas Colas)說(shuō)，“不容易評(píng)估的是估值——它讓市場(chǎng)容易發(fā)生我們今天所看到的情況。”

Investors are also wary ahead of earnings reports from the largest publicly traded US companies, including Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Google-owner Alphabet, later this week.

本周晚些時(shí)候，蘋(píng)果(Apple)、Facebook、亞馬遜(Amazon)和谷歌(Google)母公司Alphabet等美國(guó)各大上市公司將發(fā)布盈利報(bào)告。在那之前，投資者也抱有謹(jǐn)慎為上的心態(tài)。
