周二，富时100指数在8150点左右的历史高点附近几乎没有变化，大宗商品相关股票的下跌抵消了银行的上涨。由于预计美联储将维持更高的利率，石油、铜和黄金价格下跌，石油和天然气股下跌超过0.5%，工业金属矿商下跌约1.5%，贵金属和采矿业下跌超过3%。另一方面，银行股上涨超过2%，汇丰控股（+4%）领涨。该行公布季度利润增长18亿美元，运营费用下降6%，宣布回购30亿美元的股票，并宣布其首席执行官将在找到继任者后离职。在其他企业新闻中，嘉能可对其贸易部门的盈利能力保持乐观，而保诚的利润增长了9%，但未达到股票回购的预期。

The FTSE 100 was little changed near a record high at around 8150 on Tuesday, with losses in commodity-linked stocks offsetting gains in banks. Oil and gas stocks went down more than 0.5%, industrial metal miners fell around 1.5% and precious metals and mining dropped by over 3% due to lower prices of oil, copper and gold on expectations the Fed would maintain higher interest rates. On the other hand, banks gained more than 2%, led by HSBC Holdings (+4%). The bank posted a $1.8 billion increase in quarterly profit amid a 6% drop in operating expenses, announced a $3 billion share buyback, and announced that its CEO will depart the company when a successor is found. In other corporate news, Glencore remained optimistic about its trading arm's profitability, while Prudential saw a 9% increase in profits but missed expectations for a share buyback.
