英国富时250指数 (FTSE250) 加自选

周四，富时100指数上涨0.2%，达到创纪录的8880点，表现优于其他欧洲市场，因为英国疲软的经济数据提振了人们对英格兰银行降息的希望。4月份GDP收缩0.3%，超出预期，引发了人们对增长势头放缓的担忧。由于早些时候的关税措施，英国对美国的出口也出现了创纪录的下降。疲软的增长数据增加了人们对英国央行可能比以前想象的更快放松政策的猜测。能源股上涨，壳牌和英国石油分别上涨1.3%和1.8%，制药巨头阿斯利康和葛兰素史克分别上涨1.2%和2%。特易购在销售增长强劲后上涨约1.5%。在全球方面，新的贸易担忧打压了市场情绪，因为唐纳德·特朗普总统表示，他将在两周内向主要贸易伙伴发出信函，在7月9日的最后期限之前提出单方面关税，警告各国接受这些条款，否则将面临后果。

The FTSE 100 rose 0.2% to record levels of 8880 on Thursday, outperforming other European markets, as weak UK economic data boosted hopes of interest rate cuts by the Bank of England. GDP contracted by 0.3% in April, more than expected, sparking concerns about slowing momentum. UK exports to the US also posted a record drop due to earlier tariff measures. The weak growth figures increased speculation that the BoE may ease policy sooner than previously thought. Energy stocks posted gains, with Shell and BP rising 1.3% and 1.8%, respectively, while pharmaceutical giants AstraZeneca and GlaxoSmithKline added 1.2% and 2%. Tesco gained around 1.5% after stronger sales growth. On the global front, renewed trade concerns weighed on sentiment as President Donald Trump said he would send letters to key trading partners within two weeks, setting out unilateral tariffs ahead of a July 9 deadline, warning nations to accept the terms or face consequences.
