英镑/南非兰特 (GBPZAR) 加自选

周四，富时100指数下跌0.6%，至两周低点，延续了前一交易日0.6%的跌幅，主要原因是英国石油公司、阿斯利康（-0.9%）和帝国品牌（-1.5%）等大公司的股价下跌，因为它们在没有股息的情况下交易。另一方面，森特理克公司股价上涨超过5%，在宣布5亿英镑（6.297亿美元）的股票回购计划并维持其2025年的预测后，领涨指数。劳埃德银行集团在第四季度业绩强劲和股票回购公告发布后上涨4.6%。英美资源集团也上涨了2%以上，这要归功于其Los Bronces铜矿和Codelco的Andina矿之间的合并协议，尽管该公司报告了年度亏损。

The FTSE 100 dropped 0.6% to a two-week low on Thursday, continuing its 0.6% loss from the previous session, mainly due to declines in large companies like BP, which fell over 2%, AstraZeneca (-0.9%), and Imperial Brands (-1.5%), as they traded without dividend entitlement. On the other hand, Centrica saw a rise of over 5%, leading the index after announcing a £500 million ($629.7 million) share buyback plan and maintaining its 2025 forecast. Lloyds Banking Group climbed 4.6% following strong fourth-quarter results and a share buyback announcement. Anglo American also rose by more than 2%, thanks to a merger deal between its Los Bronces copper mine and Codelco's Andina mine, though it reported an annual loss.

在伦敦，富时100指数周四下跌52点，跌幅0.59%。BAE系统公司（-4.26%）、劳斯莱斯（-3.27%）和巴克莱银行（-2.52%）领跌。抵消跌幅，涨幅最大的是森特理克（5.15%）、劳埃德银行（4.61%）和Endeavor（3.33%）。

In London, the FTSE 100 Index dropped 52 points or 0.59 percent on Thursday. Losses were led by BAE Systems (-4.26%), Rolls-Royce (-3.27%) and Barclays (-2.52%). Offsetting the fall, top gainers were Centrica (5.15%), Lloyds Banking (4.61%) and Endeavour (3.33%).

受美元走软和重点从国家预算推迟到G20会议的推动，南非兰特兑美元汇率升至18.4左右。由于该国联合政府内部对提高增值税税率的提议存在分歧，预算报告在最后一刻被推迟，2月19日，人民币跌至两周低点。民主联盟（DA）是联盟中的第二大政党，是对拟议预算最直言不讳的批评者之一。与此同时，来自世界最大经济体的高级外交官齐聚约翰内斯堡，参加首次在非洲举行的为期两天的会谈。虽然加沙和乌克兰将主导讨论，但包括巴西、印度和南非在内的全球南方国家正在推动关于改革、气候变化和经济公平的谈判。在南非和美国最近的外交紧张局势中，美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥明显缺席。

The South African rand strengthened to around 18.4 per USD, buoyed by a weaker dollar and a shift in focus from the delay of the national budget to the G20 meeting. The currency slipped to two-week lows on February 19 after a last-minute postponement of the budget presentation due to disagreements within the country's coalition government over a proposal to hike the VAT tax rate. The Democratic Alliance (DA), which is the second-biggest party in the coalition, was one of the most vocal critics of the proposed budget. Meanwhile, top diplomats from the world's largest economies gathered in Johannesburg for the two-day talks held for the first time in Africa. While Gaza and Ukraine will dominate discussions, Global South countries, including Brazil, India, and South Africa, are pushing for talks on reform, climate change, and economic fairness. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio is notably absent amidst recent diplomatic tensions between South Africa and the U.S.
