雖然美國經濟依然具備韌性，但分析師正密切關注滯脹的跡象，這可能會損害利潤率。
In the technology sector, the focus has shifted from the potential of AI to its actual monetization and return on investment.
在科技領域，焦點已從人工智慧的潛力轉向實際的變現與投資回報。
Given the high expectations and external volatility, investors are bracing for a period of significant market movement, which will determine whether the current optimism persists or shifts toward a more defensive strategy.
