歐洲股市下跌，交易員關注美國就業數據
1003 GMT - European markets are mostly lower as traders await U.S. job data later, although airlines ascend. The Stoxx Europe 600 and DAX drop 0.3%, the FTSE 100 is flat and the CAC 40 is down 0.4%. Brent crude rises 0.9% to $82.68 a barrel, boosting oil shares. Tech stocks and wind-turbine makers are among the biggest fallers, while International Airlines Group and Deutsche Lufthansa gain after the U.K. eases coronavirus-related travel restrictions. "European markets are struggling to maintain the positive momentum seen yesterday, with stocks largely treading water ahead of the latest US jobs report," IG analyst Joshua Mahony says, adding that IG expects the Dow Jones to open lower.

Interest Rate Expectations Should Drive Yields of Sterling Bond ETFs Higher
利率預期應推動英鎊債券ETF收益率走高
0947 GMT - The yields of sterling-denominated corporate bond exchange-traded funds should rise on expectations that the Bank of England may start raising borrowing costs later this year, says Mizuho. The yield of iShares Core GBP Corporate Bond UCITS ETF, or SLXX, looks too tight compared to the iShares UK Gilts 0-5 year UCITS ETF, or IGLS, and Mizuho analysts think this is a good opportunity to bet the spread between the two will widen. "The likelihood of the BOE tightening sooner may bring some turbulence in the GBP credit market, where more term- and credit-risk premia will be priced in," they say. (lorena.ruibal@wsj.com)
0947GMT-瑞穗稱，英鎊計價的公司債交易所交易基金(ETF)收益率應會上漲，因市場預期英國央行可能在今年稍晚開始提高借貸成本。與iShares UK Gilts 0-5年期UCITS ETF(IGLS)相比，iShares Core GBP Corporate Bond UCITS ETF(SLXX)的收益率看起來過於緊張，瑞穗(Mizuho)分析師認為，這是押注兩者之間的利差將擴大的好機會。他們表示：“英國央行提早收緊貨幣政策的可能性可能會給英鎊信貸市場帶來一些動盪，在這個市場上，更多的期限和信貸風險溢價將被計入價格中。”(lorena.ruibal@wsj.com)
Pennon Can Cope With Cost Rises, Should Do More M&A
潘農可以應對成本上升，應該進行更多併購
0929 GMT - Pennon Group has scope to counter cost rises and should do further merger-and-acquisition deals, HSBC says, increasing its recommendation on the U.K. water utility to hold. HSBC, which cut its rating on Pennon to reduce in July, also raised its target price to 1180 pence from 1160p. While higher costs are likely to offset volume increases, increased inflation indexation and potential efficiency improvements should help to counter that in 2022, HSBC says. "We still think an acquisition of Bournemouth Water's neighbor, Portsmouth Water, would make strategic sense," HSBC analyst Verity Mitchell adds. "The CMA's review of recently acquired Bristol Water is progressing, so Pennon is awaiting the outcome before detailing its synergy and integration plans." Shares fall 0.2% to 1136p. (philip.waller@wsj.com)
格林威治時間0929-匯豐銀行(HSBC)表示，Pennon Group有空間應對成本上漲，應該進行進一步的併購交易，並增加了對這家英國自來水公司的持股建議。匯豐銀行(HSBC)在7月份下調了對Pennon的評級，將其目標價從1160便士上調至1180便士。匯豐銀行(HSBC)表示，儘管成本上升可能會抵消交易量的增加，但通脹指數化程度的提高和潛在的效率改善應有助於在2022年抵消這一影響。匯豐銀行分析師Verity Mitchell補充説：“我們仍然認為收購伯恩茅斯水務公司的鄰居朴茨茅斯水務公司具有戰略意義。”CMA對最近收購的布裏斯托爾水務公司的審查正在取得進展，因此Pennon正在等待結果，然後再詳細説明其協同和整合計劃。“股價下跌0.2%，至1136便士。(Philip.waller@wsj.com)

DJ FTSE 100 Closes Up Despite Gas-Price Worries
DJ富時100指數收盤上漲，儘管汽油價格令人擔憂
The FTSE 100 closed up 0.25% on Friday, bringing a rollercoaster week filled with inflation warnings, disappointing U.S. job data and a global social-media blackout to an end. Tesco PLC led the way as it raised full-year profit guidance and launched a GBP500 million share buyback program following a robust first half, while BT took a drubbing amid rumors that it could face serious challenges to its broadband infrastructure dominance, AJ Bell financial analyst Danni Hewson says. Gas prices have dominated the conversation this week, with the potential knock-on effect on household budgets worrying businesses and consumers. "For investors, decisions are straight forward and both BP and Shell have helped the FTSE 100 end the week on a high, even if slightly sour note," Ms. Hewson said.
富時100指數(FTSE100)上週五收盤上漲0.25%，這一週充斥着通脹警告、令人失望的美國就業數據和全球社交媒體封鎖，為過山車般的一週畫上了句號。AJ Bell金融分析師丹尼·休森(Danni Hewson)表示，樂購(Tesco PLC)在上半年表現強勁後，率先上調了全年利潤指引，並啟動了5億英鎊的股票回購計劃，而英國電信(BT)則因有傳言稱其寬帶基礎設施主導地位可能面臨嚴峻挑戰而遭受重創。汽油價格主導了本週的話題，對家庭預算的潛在連鎖反應令企業和消費者感到擔憂。休森説：“對投資者來説，決策是直截了當的，BP和殼牌都幫助富時100指數(FTSE100)在本週收盤走高，儘管略顯低迷。”

Electrocomponents Lifts FY Guidance, But is Wary on 2H
電子元器件提升財年指引，但對下半年持謹慎態度
1025 GMT - Shares in Electrocomponents rise 2% after the FTSE 250-listed electronics distributor raised full-year revenue and profit guidance, but said it remains cautious about issues such as supply-chain shortages and higher costs. While growth remains strong, the supply-chain and cost issues point to a tougher second half, brokerage Davy says. "There's little not to like about Electrocomponents over the last four years," Davy analysts say. "However, we feel this is a stock that now requires more material upgrades to move it on following the significant re-rating of the last 12 months," Davy says. (philip.waller@wsj.com)
1025GMT-電子元器件公司股價上漲2%，此前這家在富時250指數(FTSE 250)上市的電子產品分銷商上調了全年營收和利潤指引，但表示仍對供應鏈短缺和成本上升等問題持謹慎態度。經紀公司Davy表示，儘管增長依然強勁，但供應鏈和成本問題表明下半年將更加艱難。戴維分析師説：“在過去的四年裏，電子元器件沒有什麼不好的地方。”“然而，我們認為這是一隻股票，現在需要更多的實質性升級，以推動它在過去12個月的重大重新評級，”戴維説。(Philip.waller@wsj.com)
