周二，富时100指数上涨0.4%，达到创纪录的9194点，但仍落后于其他欧洲指数。金融股和矿商领涨，嘉能可和力拓受益于铜价反弹。德意志银行将目标价从85便士上调至100便士后，京东体育股价飙升超过6%。相反，对俄罗斯-乌克兰潜在停火的乐观情绪给壳牌和英国石油公司等石油生产商带来了压力，而国防类股下跌，拖累了该指数。BAE系统公司、劳斯莱斯、QinetiQ和巴布科克国际公司都出现了下滑。乌克兰总统泽连斯基称周一在白宫举行的会谈是“重要的一步”，也是迄今为止与特朗普总统举行的“最好的”会晤，这激发了人们对结束战争取得进展的希望。

The FTSE 100 rose 0.4% to a record 9194 on Tuesday, though it lagged other European indexes. Gains were led by financials and miners, with Glencore and Rio Tinto benefiting from a rebound in copper prices. JD Sports surged over 6% after Deutsche Bank raised its target price to 100p from 85p. Conversely, optimism over a potential Russia-Ukraine ceasefire pressured oil producers like Shell and BP, while defence stocks fell, dragging on the index. BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce, QinetiQ, and Babcock International all slipped. Monday’s talks at the White House, described by Ukraine’s Zelenskiy as a “significant step” and the “best” meeting with President Trump yet, fueled hopes for progress toward ending the war.

周二下午，富时100指数微涨至9190点，与地区同行一致，乌克兰和平希望高涨，此前美国总统特朗普表示，他正在安排乌克兰和俄罗斯同行之间的会晤。在股市方面，德意志银行将目标价从85便士上调至100便士后，京东体育以6%的涨幅攀升至指数榜首。铜业巨头必和必拓也上涨了近2%，得益于好于预期的股息，尽管由于中国对铁矿石的需求疲软，全年利润降至五年低点。英美资源集团和嘉能可各自上涨了2%以上，金融股也有所上涨。不利的一面是，巴布科克、英国宇航系统公司、劳斯莱斯和梅尔罗斯等国防类股均下跌2%至7%，因预计如果乌克兰冲突结束，国防订单将减少。

The FTSE 100 edged higher toward 9,190 on Tuesday afternoon, in line with regional peers, amid Ukraine peace hopes, after US President Trump said he was arranging a meeting between his Ukrainian and Russian counterparts. In equities, JD Sports climbed to the top of the index with a 6% surge after Deutsche Bank raised its target price to 100p from 85p. Copper giant BHP also rallied nearly 2%, supported by a better-than-expected dividend, even as full-year profits fell to a five-year low amid weak Chinese demand for iron ore. Anglo American and Glencore rose over 2% each, with financials also advancing. On the downside, defense stocks such as Babcock, BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce and Melrose all slid between 2% and 7%, on expectations of reduced defense orders if the Ukraine conflict ends.

周二，富时100指数在9160左右几乎没有变化，在周四的杰克逊霍尔研讨会之前，对美国、乌克兰和欧洲领导人之间华盛顿会谈的早期乐观情绪让位于谨慎。俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基告诉记者，俄罗斯建议首先与乌克兰举行双边会谈，然后与美国总统举行三方会谈。在企业新闻中，矿业巨头必和必拓公布了五年来的年度利润低点，受到中国需求疲软和铁矿石价格下跌的压力。该公司公布基础利润下降26%，至101.6亿美元，低于普遍预期的102.2亿美元。

The FTSE 100 was little changed around 9,160 on Tuesday, with early optimism over Washington talks between US, Ukrainian and European leaders giving way to caution ahead of Thursday’s Jackson Hole symposium. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy told reporters that Russia suggested first holding bilateral talks with Ukraine, then a trilateral meeting with the US president. In corporate news, mining giant BHP posted a five-year low in annual profits, pressured by softer Chinese demand and declining iron ore prices. The company posted a 26% drop in underlying profits to $10.16 billion, below consensus estimates of $10.22 billion.
