英国就业进一步疲软，但英镑因不那么令人担忧的数据而有所缓解。你很难将周四的就业报告称为积极的——失业率再次上升至4.7%，而职位空缺率下降。然而，在上次报告中令人担忧的疲软之后，这表明劳动力市场更加稳定，英国央行没有必要恐慌。

UK Employment Weakens Further, but Sterling Relieved at Less Alarming Figures.You could hardly call Thursday's employment report a positive – unemployment rose again to 4.7%, while vacancies dropped. However, after the concerning weakness in the previous report, this shows a more stable labour market and no need to panic for the BoE.

在伦敦，富时100指数周四上涨55点，涨幅0.62%。Diploma（6.44%）、Frasers Group（5.74%）和Whitbread（3.31%）领涨。最大的输家是易捷航空（-4.98%）、奋进航空（-1.71%）和英美烟草（-1.45%）。

In London, the FTSE 100 Index gained 55 points or 0.62 percent on Thursday. Gains were led by Diploma (6.44%), Frasers Group (5.74%) and Whitbread (3.31%). Biggest losers were Easyjet Plc (-4.98%), Endeavour (-1.71%) and British American Tobacco (-1.45%).

周四，富时100指数上涨0.6%，表现优于其他欧洲指数，得益于矿业和能源股的上涨，投资者消化了英国混合的劳动力数据。英国国家统计局表示，就业市场继续疲软，就业人数再次下降，尽管修订后的税收数据表明，下降幅度没有最初报告的那么大。工资涨幅超过预期，而失业率微升至4.7%。在企业新闻方面，易捷航空股价下跌5%，此前该航空公司警告称，法国空中交通管制罢工和燃料成本上涨将影响利润。杰富瑞将利润预期下调5.5%。尽管如此，易捷航空公布了第三季度利润的增长，并表示预计全年盈利将增长，尽管结果将取决于夏末的预订情况，因为越来越多的客户在旅行日期附近预订假期。

The FTSE 100 rose 0.6% on Thursday, outperforming other European indices, supported by gains in mining and energy stocks as investors digested mixed UK labour data. The ONS said the jobs market continues to weaken, with payrolls falling again, though revised tax figures suggest the drop is less steep than initially reported. Wages rose more than expected, while unemployment edged up to 4.7%. In corporate news, EasyJet shares fell 5% after the airline warned that French air traffic control strikes and higher fuel costs would impact profits. Jefferies cut its profit estimate by 5.5%. Still, EasyJet reported higher Q3 profits and said it expects full-year earnings growth, although outcomes will depend on late summer bookings, as more customers book holidays closer to travel dates.
