周二，富时100指数下跌超过0.5%，扭转了周一0.3%的涨幅，地缘政治紧张局势加剧打压了市场情绪。在特朗普总统敦促居民撤离德黑兰后，投资者变得谨慎，这引发了人们对以色列和伊朗之间更深层次冲突的担忧。特朗普还否认他提前退出七国集团峰会与停火努力有关。在贸易方面，特朗普和英国首相斯塔默就英国汽车出口和某些美国农产品的关税削减达成一致，但关键的钢铁关税减免被推迟。在企业更新中，Ashtead公布了全年业绩，符合预期，但由于美国商业建筑疲软，削减了股息。它确认了在2025年将其主要上市地转移到美国的计划。Informa重申了2025年的增长目标，而Morgan Sindall由于其装修部门的实力，上调了其利润前景。Legal&General还重申了中期目标，并报告了2025年初的稳健表现。

The FTSE 100 fell over 0.5% on Tuesday, reversing Monday’s 0.3% gain as rising geopolitical tensions weighed on sentiment. Investors grew cautious after President Trump urged residents to evacuate Tehran, stoking fears of deeper conflict between Israel and Iran. Trump also denied that his early exit from the G7 summit was related to ceasefire efforts. On the trade front, Trump and UK Prime Minister Starmer agreed on tariff reductions for UK car exports and certain US farm goods, but key steel tariff relief was delayed. In corporate updates, Ashtead posted full-year results in line with expectations but cut its dividend due to weaker US commercial construction. It confirmed plans to shift its primary listing to the US in 2025. Informa reaffirmed 2025 growth targets, while Morgan Sindall upgraded its profit outlook thanks to strength in its Fit Out unit. Legal & General also reaffirmed its medium-term targets and reported solid early 2025 performance.
