英国1月消费者支出数据强劲后,富时100指数周五收盘几乎持平,但对失业率上升的担忧打压了市场情绪。消费者支出激增1.7%,超出预期,但商业活动放缓,企业裁员。标准普尔2月份综合采购经理人指数微降至50.5,表明经济停滞,就业率降至2020年以来的最低水平。与此同时,受益于强劲的盈利,国民西敏银行(3.8%)和渣打银行(3.4%)领涨,而黄金矿商Fresnillo(-3.4%)和Endeavor(-3.2%)以及英国石油公司(-0.8%)和壳牌(-1.5%)等石油公司则出现亏损。在经济增长疲软和通胀持续的情况下,交易员们现在正在考虑英格兰银行有限的降息。该指数创下今年以来最糟糕的单周跌幅,下跌近1%。
The FTSE 100 ended almost flat on Friday after strong UK consumer spending data for January, but concerns about rising unemployment weighed on sentiment. Consumer spending surged 1.7%, exceeding expectations, but business activity showed a slowdown, with companies cutting jobs. The S&P Composite PMI for February slightly dipped to 50.5, signaling stagnation, and employment fell to its lowest since 2020. Meanwhile, Natwest (3.8%) and Standard Chartered (3.4%) led gains, benefiting from strong earnings, while gold miners Fresnillo (-3.4%) and Endeavour (-3.2%) and oil companies like BP (-0.8%) and Shell (-1.5%) saw losses. Traders are now pricing in limited rate cuts from the Bank of England amid weak economic growth and persistent inflation. The index posted its worst weekly decline of the year, down nearly 1%.
