受美国科技巨头的积极盈利结果和Darktrace反弹的提振,富时100指数周五升至8120点的新纪录。托马·布拉沃(Thoma Bravo)以53.2亿美元收购了这家中型股公司,股价飙升超过16%。在国内,4月份英国消费者情绪飙升至2年来的最高点,表明家庭对经济和个人财务的看法有所改善。投资者现在将等待美国PCE价格数据。当天涨幅最大的是NatWest(3.3%)、Ashtead(2.2%)、Scottish Mortgage(2%)、Prudential(1.9%)和Rio Tinto(1.9%)。NatWest在报告2024年第一季度利润下降27%后上涨,低于预期。相比之下,巴克莱银行(-2.2%)、英美资源集团(-1%)和培生银行(-1.7%)下跌。英美资源集团拒绝了必和必拓的提议,称这一出价严重损害了该矿及其未来前景。与此同时,培生股价下跌,尽管其基本销售额达到预期。每周,该指数有望上涨近3%,创下7个月来的最佳表现。
The FTSE 100 rose to a fresh record of 8,120 on Friday, buoyed by positive earnings results of the US tech giants and Darktrace rally. The mid-cap firm soared by over 16% on $5.32 billion buyout deal by Thoma Bravo. Domestically, UK consumer sentiment surged to a 2-year high in April, indicating improved households' views on the economy and personal finances. Investors will now await US PCE price data. The top gainers of the day were NatWest (3.3%), Ashtead (2.2%), Scottish Mortgage (2%), Prudential (1.9%), and Rio Tinto (1.9%), NatWest increased after reporting a 27% fall in profit for the Q1 of 2024, less than anticipated. In contrast, Barclays (-2.2%), Anglo American (-1%), and Pearson (-1.7%) declined. Anglo American turned down BHP's proposal, saying the bid sharply undermined the miner and its future prospects. Meanwhile, Pearson fell despite meeting its expectations for underlying sales. Weekly, the index was poised for nearly 3% rise, its best performance in 7 months.
