Keith Lansford: 我是凯斯·兰斯福德，这是2月20日周四施瓦布市场更新播客，我们将回顾近期新闻，展望未来市场。美国经济相对稳定，可能推动第四季度零售收益改善，沃尔玛即将公布财报。分析师预测沃尔玛第四季度每股收益为64美分，同比增长4%，营收达1800.7亿美元。上一次，沃尔玛的收益和收入都超过了分析师的预期。今日数据还包括每周首次申请失业救济金人数，以及阿里巴巴和纽蒙特矿业的财报。标普500指数周三上涨0.24%，道琼斯工业平均指数上涨0.16%，纳斯达克综合指数上涨0.07%。 Alex Coffey: 沃尔玛强大的杂货和日用品组合使消费者能够降低消费支出，抵御竞争对手；关税可能会影响利润率。 Kevin Gordon: 近期标普500指数两次创下历史新高，主要并非“七巨头”的贡献，这表明市场广度有所改善。 Kathy Jones: 市场稳定可能反映了两种力量的拉锯：关税可能短期内推高物价和通货膨胀，但反关税、联邦政府裁员和移民减少可能减缓经济增长。美联储也处于进退两难的境地，在采取政策变动前需要对相关问题有更清晰的认识；1月会议纪要显示美联储短期内不太可能改变政策。如果经济保持强劲，通胀保持高位，美联储可以维持利率在限制性水平。
