周五，英国富时100指数持平，上涨至8415点左右，有望连续第十个交易日上涨，投资者关注的焦点在美中贸易摩擦减少和更多企业盈利报告之间存在分歧。有传言称，中国可能会暂停对部分美国进口商品征收125%的报复性关税，这增加了达成潜在协议的希望，此前美国早些时候发出了关税可能大幅降低的信号。关于国内数据，英国3月份零售额超出预期，而消费者信心降至一年多来的最低点。在盈利方面，WPP报告称，2025年第一季度业务放缓，尽管业绩符合预期，并重申了全年指引。梅尔罗斯工业、巴布科克国际集团、劳斯莱斯控股、能多洁、蒙迪和圣詹姆斯广场是股市中表现最好的，而Rightmove和Endeavor Mining的跌幅最大。

The UK's FTSE 100 traded flat to higher around 8,415 on Friday, on track for the tenth consecutive session of advances, with investor focus split between hopes for reduced U.S.-China trade friction and more corporate earnings reports. Rumors that China may suspend its 125% retaliatory tariffs on select U.S. imports raised hopes of a potential deal, following earlier U.S. signals that tariffs could be significantly reduced. Regarding domestic data, UK retail sales exceeded expectations in March, while consumer confidence fell to its lowest point in over a year. On the earnings front, WPP reported a slowdown in business for the first quarter of 2025, although results came in line with expectations and full-year guidance was reiterated. Melrose Industries, Babcock International Group, Rolls-Royce Holdings, Rentokil Initial, Mondi and St James Place were the top performers among equities, while Rightmove and Endeavour Mining posted the biggest declines.
