英国富时100指数周五微涨至8413点，连续第十个交易日上涨，周涨幅近1.7%。该指数因英国零售销售强于预期以及对缓解美中贸易紧张局势的谨慎乐观情绪而上涨。在数据方面，英国零售量在2月份修正后增长0.7%后，3月份意外增长0.4%，而分析师预测下降0.4%。在商业方面，航空航天和国防部门表现最佳，梅尔罗斯工业公司飙升3.8%。在美国有大量业务的公司也表现良好，包括建筑材料集团CRH、博彩公司Entain和虫害防治巨头能多洁。 相反，联合利华和玛莎百货是最大的落后者，各下跌2.2%。贵金属矿商Fresnillo、Endeavour和Hochschild下跌，因金价继续从近期历史高点回落。

The UK's FTSE 100 closed marginally up at 8,413 on Friday, its tenth straight session of advances and booking a nearly 1.7% weekly gain. The index was lifted by stronger-than-expected UK retail sales and cautious optimism over easing U.S.-China trade tensions. On the data front, UK retail volumes unexpectedly rose by 0.4% in March, following a revised 0.7% gain in February, against analysts' forecasts of a 0.4% decline. On the business front, the aerospace and defense sector emerged as the top performer, with Melrose Industries surging 3.8%. Companies with heavy exposure to the US also performing well, including building materials group CRH, gambling outfit Entain and pest control giant Rentokil Initial. Conversely, Unilever and Marks & Spencer were the biggest laggards, each down 2.2%. Precious metals miners Fresnillo, Endeavour and Hochschild fell as gold prices continued to retreat from recent record highs.
