FTSE 100 Edges Lower as Miners Fall, Utilities Gain -- Market Talk
0803 GMT - The FTSE 100 edges 0.1% lower to 7208, with losses for miners offsetting gains for utilities. Antofagasta is the biggest faller, down 4% after the Chilean copper miner forecast lower copper production for 2022. Fellow sector players Rio Tinto, BHP and Glencore are also in the red. Among the biggest risers are Centrica, SSE and National Grid. "Driven by basic resources, the FTSE 100 has opened lower, but is still holding onto 7,200, with broader European markets trading to the downside after tepid gains yesterday," Interactive Investor analyst Victoria Scholar says.

0803GMT-富時100指數小幅下跌0.1%，至7208點，礦商的損失抵消了公用事業公司的收益。安託法加斯塔跌幅最大，下跌4%，此前這家智利銅礦商預測2022年銅產量將下降。行業同行力拓(Rio Tinto)、必和必拓(BHP)和嘉能可(Glencore)也出現了虧損。漲幅最大的是Centrica、上交所和國家電網。Interactive Investor分析師維多利亞·學者(Victoria Scholar)表示：“在基本資源的推動下，富時100指數(FTSE 100)開盤走低，但仍守住了7200點。在昨日温和上漲之後，歐洲股市整體走低。”(Philip.waller@wsj.com)
