US Stocks Defy Odds, Reach New Milestones Amid Economic Volatility
US Stocks Defy Odds, Reach New Milestones Amid Economic Volatility
In the face of a contentious U.S. presidential election, changing Federal Reserve policies, and potential recession threats, U.S. stocks have shown resilience and growth.
面对激烈的美国总统选举、美联储政策的变化和潜在的经济衰退威胁，美国股市表现出了坚韧和增长。
What Happened: The S&P 500 Index has recorded its third successive week of gains, with a 5.1% increase in the third quarter, marking its best start to a year since 1997. The index's market capitalization has also crossed the $50 trillion milestone for the first time.
发生了什么：标普500指数连续第三周录得涨幅，第三季度涨幅达5.1%，创下自1997年以来最佳开局。该指数的市值也首次突破了50万亿美元的里程碑。
Surprisingly, these gains were not significantly driven by Big Tech companies. The Nasdaq 100 Index saw a modest 1.7% increase for the quarter, while the equal-weight version of the S&P 500 surged nearly 9%, reports Bloomberg.
出人意料的是，这些涨幅并非主要受到大科技公司的推动。纳斯达克100指数季度涨幅仅为1.7%，而标普500指数的等权重版本大幅飙升近9%，据彭博报道。
Mary Ann Bartels, chief investment strategist at Sanctuary Wealth, expressed her bullish outlook on stocks, predicting the S&P 500 to end this year at 6,000, a roughly 4.6% increase from Friday's close.
圣所财富的首席投资策略师玛丽·安·巴特尔斯表示看好股票前景，预测标普500指数年底可达6000点，相较于上周五收盘价上涨约4.6%。
This optimism is echoed by trading data from Goldman Sachs Group Inc. (NYSE:GS), which reveals a threefold increase in bets on information technology stocks rising than falling.
高盛集团（纽交所代码：GS）的交易数据也反映出乐观情绪，显示对科技股上涨的投注量是下跌的三倍。

However, concerns persist. The Fed is striving to orchestrate a soft landing following a period of swift inflation and aggressive rate hikes, and the likelihood of a recession in the next 12 months remains high, according to the New York Fed.
然而，仍然存在着一些担忧。美联储正努力在通胀迅速上升和利率大幅上调之后实现软着陆，而根据纽约联储的说法，未来12个月内经济衰退可能性仍然很高。
Despite these risks, the consensus expectations are for steady economic growth. The Atlanta Fed's GDPNow model forecasts real gross domestic product to rise at a 3.1% annual rate in the third quarter, up from 3% in the second quarter.
尽管存在这些风险，市场一致预期经济将保持稳定增长。亚特兰大联储的GDPNow模型预计实际国内生产总值第三季度将以3.1%的年率增长，高于第二季度的3%。
Why It Matters: Investors are now shifting their focus to the coming weeks, which will bring crucial jobs reports, a wave of earnings from major US companies, the US presidential election on Nov. 5, and the Fed's next interest-rate decision on Nov. 7. These events will undoubtedly influence the market's trajectory and investor sentiment in the near term.
为什么重要：投资者现在正将注意力转向接下来的几周，这将带来关键的就业报告、一大波来自美国主要公司的收益、11月5日的美国总统大选，以及11月7日美联储的下一次利率决定。这些事件无疑将在短期内影响市场走势和投资者情绪。
