Newtalk新聞 近年來，人工智慧( AI )技術蓬勃發展，各式各樣的 AI 工具也逐漸走進人們的日常生活之中，帶來許多便利。然而，近期 AI 熱潮卻遭逢瓶頸，相關現象也波及台灣股市。有外媒指出，外資在 10 月份時，從台股撤出超過 1 兆元的「創紀錄」資金，認為以晶片股為主的台股很可能在美國科技股大跌的背景下，面臨「進一步下跌」的風險。 根據《彭博社》報導，受到投資人借貸成本上升、 AI 相關支出激增以及企業財報表現不如預期等因素影響，全球範圍內的 AI 相關股票近期持續被投資人拋售，相關現象也對台灣股市造成了巨大的衝擊。該報導認為，在 AI 熱潮遭遇瓶頸的情況下，台灣股市的基準指數可能已經逼近「技術性回檔」的區間。 該報導表示，在剛過去的 10 月，海外投資者淨賣出價值約 317.8 億美元 ( 折合新台幣約 1.04 兆元 ) 的台灣股票，直接突破了今年 3 月所創下的歷史最高紀錄，主張大規模的資金外流已經顯示出全球 …

Newtalk新聞 隨著科技巨頭持續加碼人工智慧（AI）投資，市場對龐大資本支出及回收速度的疑慮升溫，蘋果（AAPL）反而在這波科技股賣壓中展現相對韌性。 美東時間 10 月 30 日，蘋果重新超越輝達（NVIDIA），睽違約 3 個月奪回全球上市公司市值第一寶座。如今，蘋果即將於台灣時間明（3）日清晨公布最新財報，市場關注其核心業務能否持續成長，支撐逾 5 兆美元的市值。 回顧 10 月 30 日美股表現，蘋果當日股價雖跌 1.2%，市值仍約 5.029 兆美元；輝達則重挫 4.2%，市值降至約 4.941 兆美元，兩者相差約 1,000 億美元。這次市值排名互換，並非蘋果逆勢大漲，而是在科技股普遍承壓之際，跌幅相對有限，凸顯市場對不同 AI 投資策略的評價開始出現分歧。 相較於微軟（MSFT）、Alphabet（GOOGL）、亞馬遜（AMZN）及 Meta 等科技巨頭競相擴建 AI 資料中心，蘋果並未投入同等規模的基礎設施建設。根據蘋果財務資料，2026 財年前 …
