FTSE 100 Edges Higher in Early Trade
富时100指数早盘小幅走高
0918 GMT - The FTSE 100 edges up 0.1% to 7294.75 in early trade, with gains for heavyweight miners offset by falls in oil-linked stocks, retailers and banks. Sentiment is soured slightly after Federal Reserve minutes showed various participants felt central banks should be prepared to taper and raise rates faster if inflation remained strong. Trade on Thursday is expected to be subdued, however, due to the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. "The U.S. Thanksgiving celebrations should ensure a relatively muted affair later into the day," IG says. Miner Antofagasta is the biggest riser, up 1.9%, while Johnson Matthey is the biggest faller, down 1.1% as the stock remains out of favor after Wednesday's 1H results. (jessica.fleetham@wsj.com)
0918GMT-在早盘交易中，富时100指数小幅上涨0.1%，至7294.75点，重量级矿商的涨幅被石油相关股票、零售商和银行类股的下跌所抵消。在美联储(Fed)会议纪要显示，多名参与者认为，如果通胀保持强劲，各国央行应该准备缩减并更快加息后，市场情绪略有恶化。不过，由于美国感恩节假期，预计周四的交易将较为清淡。IG说：“美国的感恩节庆祝活动应该会确保当天晚些时候的活动相对平静。”矿商Antofagasta涨幅最大，上涨1.9%，Johnson Matthee跌幅最大，下跌1.1%，因该股在周三公布1H业绩后仍失宠。(jessica.fleetham@wsj.com)

Hochschild Shares Set for Re-Rating After Peru Clarification
秘鲁澄清后，Hochschild股票将重新评级
0757 GMT - The Peruvian government's latest statement regarding Hochschild's Inmaculada and Pallancata mines is a clear, proactive and positive step which indicates the importance of foreign investment and reaffirms the rule of law, RBC Capital Markets says. Although there will remain risks around increased taxes and community support, the incident may in the end serve to de-risk Peru, and in the end enhances confidence in the Hochschild investment case, RBC says. "The political risking of Hochschild shares were already elevated heading into this incident and we believe that the shares are now set for a rerating. We reiterate our outperform rating," the bank says.
0757GMT-加拿大皇家银行资本市场(RBC Capital Markets)表示，秘鲁政府关于Hochschild的Inmaculada和Pallancata矿的最新声明是明确、积极和积极的一步，表明了外国投资的重要性，并重申了法治。加拿大皇家银行表示，尽管围绕增税和社区支持仍将存在风险，但这起事件最终可能会降低秘鲁的风险，并最终增强人们对Hochschild投资案的信心。该行表示：“在这起事件发生前，Hochschild股票的政治风险已经很高，我们认为该股现在将重新回升。我们重申我们对Hochschild股票的表现优于大盘的评级。”
