富时100指数周三收盘微涨,此前英国通胀率小幅降至3.4%,投资者关注中东紧张局势,并等待英格兰银行周四的利率决定。博柏利提振了市场情绪,其好于预期的销售业绩提振了人们对成功扭亏为盈的希望,推高了其股价。与此同时,围绕TSB的并购猜测引起了人们的关注,据报道,NatWest和Santander表示有兴趣。然而,其他地区的盈利疲软限制了涨幅。信用数据公司益百利在其增长前景低于预期后下跌至2.6%,而帝国品牌在其首席执行官突然离职后暴跌8.3%,为2020年5月以来的最大跌幅。
The FTSE 100 closed slightly higher on Wednesday as investors eyed Middle East tensions and awaited the Bank of England’s rate decision on Thursday, following a slight dip in UK inflation to 3.4%. Sentiment was lifted by Burberry, whose better-than-expected sales results boosted hopes for a successful turnaround, sending its shares higher. Meanwhile, M&A speculation around TSB drew attention, with NatWest and Santander reportedly expressing interest. However, gains were capped by weaker earnings elsewhere. Credit data firm Experian fell up to 2.6% after its growth outlook missed expectations, while Imperial Brands plunged as much as 8.3%, the most since May 2020, after its CEO's sudden departure.
