周三，富时100指数小幅下跌至8600点左右，市场参与者正在为唐纳德·特朗普总统今天晚些时候宣布对全球贸易伙伴征收全面的新互惠关税做准备。在股市中，葛兰素史克（GSK）和阿斯利康（AstraZeneca）跌幅最大，反映出美国主要制药股隔夜下跌。房屋建筑商也面临困境，Persimmon、Barratt和Taylor Wimpey领跌该行业。在富时250指数中，Raspberry Pi Holdings股价上涨7.5%，至506便士，此前该公司公布了去年伦敦首次公开募股后的第一套全年业绩，并表示预计到2025年“需求将稳步增长”。在企业新闻方面，便利食品巨头Greencore在两次收购失败后，与竞争对手Bakkavor就12亿英镑的收购条款达成协议，这将创建一家总营业额约为40亿英镑的便利食品巨头。

The FTSE 100 was slightly down around 8,600 on Wednesday, as market participants braced for President Donald Trump's announcement of sweeping new reciprocal tariffs on global trading partners later today. Among equities, GSK and AstraZeneca were among the biggest fallers, mirroring an overnight decline in major US pharmaceutical stocks. Housebuilders also struggled, with Persimmon, Barratt, and Taylor Wimpey leading the sector’s decline. On the FTSE 250, Raspberry Pi Holdings shares climbed 7.5% to 506p after it published the first set of full-year results following its London IPO last year and said it expected a “steady build-up in demand” through 2025. In corporate news, convenience good giant Greencore has reached an agreement with its rival Bakkavor about the terms of a £1.2 billion takeover, after two failed offers, which would create a convenience foods giant with combined turnover of about £4 billion.
