FTSE 100 Falls as Next, Oil Stocks Lose Ground; Fed in Focus
富時100指數下跌，石油類股下跌；美聯儲成為焦點
0930 GMT - The FTSE 100 falls 0.3% to 7254.77 in cautious trade as traders await decisions from the U.S. Federal Reserve later Wednesday and from the Bank of England on Thursday. The Fed is expected to announce the start of asset-purchase tapering, but IG analysts say "the gains seen in U.S. equities highlight a willingness to look beyond that event for now." U.K. retailer Next is among the biggest fallers, down 2.7%, after warning of lower fourth-quarter sales as pent-up demand diminishes. Oil stocks fall as crude-oil prices drop, with BP down 1.9%, though mining stocks rise. Anglo American gains 3% after news CEO Mark Cutifani will retire next year to be succeeded by Duncan Wanblad in what RBC analysts expect will be a "seamless" transition. (jessica.fleetham@wsj.com)
0930GMT-在謹慎的交易中，富時100指數下跌0.3%，至7254.77點，交易員等待美國聯邦儲備委員會(美聯儲，FED)週三晚些時候和週四英國央行(Bank Of England)的決定。預計美聯儲將宣佈開始縮減資產購買規模，但IG分析師表示，“美國股市的漲勢突顯出目前將目光投向這一事件之後的意願.”英國零售商NeXT是跌幅最大的公司之一，下跌2.7%，此前該公司警告稱，由於被壓抑的需求減少，第四季度銷售額將下降。隨着原油價格下跌，石油類股下跌，英國石油(BP)下跌1.9%，但礦業類股上漲。英美資源集團(Anglo American)股價上漲3%，此前有消息稱，首席執行官馬克·卡蒂法尼(Mark Cutifani)將於明年退休，由鄧肯·萬布拉德(Duncan Wanblad)接替。加拿大皇家銀行分析師預計，這將是一個“無縫”的過渡。(jessica.fleetham@wsj.com)

Next Falls Over Cautious Outlook
謹慎的前景下一步跌落
0839 GMT - Next has continued its relentless progress over the quarter, largely driven by its online business, Richard Hunter, head of markets at Interactive Investor, says. However, the fashion retailer isn't expected to maintain this brisk pace of growth, which is behind its share price decline, Hunter says. The FTSE 100 listed company's cautious outlook, which is characteristic of Next's usual predictions, has likely led to some profit-taking in the early exchanges of trading, Hunter says. The company continues to be a business in good health, he says. "The market consensus of the shares as a buy is unlikely to be threatened given the reassurance of this update for ongoing prospects," Hunter adds. Shares are down 3.1% at 8,056.00 pence.

0839GMT-Interactive Investor市場主管理查德·亨特(Richard Hunter)表示，NeXT在很大程度上受到其在線業務的推動，在本季度繼續取得了不懈的進步。然而，亨特説，預計這家時尚零售商不會保持如此快速的增長速度，這是其股價下跌的原因。亨特表示，這家富時100指數(FTSE 100)成份股公司的謹慎前景是NeXT通常預測的特點，這可能導致早盤交易中出現一些獲利回吐。他表示，該公司仍然是一家健康的企業。亨特補充説：“考慮到這一最新消息對持續前景的保證，市場對股票買入的共識不太可能受到威脅。”股價下跌3.1%，至8056.00便士。(sabela.ojea@wsj.com；@sabelaojeaguix)
