富时100指数周二基本持平，在投资者权衡企业新闻和经济数据后，在连续两天上涨后暂停。阿斯利康（-0.8%）、汇丰银行（-0.4%）、联合利华（-1.4%）、英美烟草（-1.9%）和葛兰素史克（-3%）等主要股票的下跌拖累了该指数，尽管壳牌（+1.4%）、瑞克斯（+1%）和劳斯莱斯（+1.6%）上涨。Entain领涨，在瑞银将这家博彩公司评级为“买入”后飙升超过6%，理由是其强劲的基本表现和扭亏为盈的潜力。在宏观方面，英国失业率上升至4.5%，为2021年以来的最高水平，而工资增长放缓。这些数据强化了人们的预期，即随着劳动力市场降温的迹象增加，英格兰银行可能会继续降息。混合信号让投资者保持谨慎，使富时100指数保持在狭窄的交易区间内。

The FTSE 100 was mostly flat on Tuesday, pausing after two days of gains as investors weighed corporate news and economic data. Losses in major stocks such as AstraZeneca (-0.8%), HSBC (-0.4%), Unilever (-1.4%), British American Tobacco (-1.9%), and GlaxoSmithKline (-3%) dragged on the index, despite gains from Shell (+1.4%), Relx (+1%), and Rolls-Royce (+1.6%). Entain led the gainers, soaring over 6% after UBS upgraded the betting firm to “buy,” citing strong underlying performance and potential for a turnaround. On the macro front, UK unemployment rose to 4.5%, the highest since 2021, while wage growth slowed. These figures reinforced expectations that the Bank of England may move forward with interest rate cuts, as signs of a cooling labor market increase. The mixed signals left investors cautious, keeping the FTSE 100 in a narrow trading range.
