FTSE 100 Falls as Next, Oil Stocks Lose Ground; Fed in Focus
富时100指数下跌，石油类股下跌；美联储成为焦点
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-在谨慎的交易中，富时100指数下跌0.3%，至7254.77点，交易员等待美国联邦储备委员会(美联储，FED)周三晚些时候和周四英国央行(Bank Of England)的决定。预计美联储将宣布开始缩减资产购买规模，但IG分析师表示，“美国股市的涨势突显出目前将目光投向这一事件之后的意愿.”英国零售商NeXT是跌幅最大的公司之一，下跌2.7%，此前该公司警告称，由于被压抑的需求减少，第四季度销售额将下降。随着原油价格下跌，石油类股下跌，英国石油(BP)下跌1.9%，但矿业类股上涨。英美资源集团(Anglo American)股价上涨3%，此前有消息称，首席执行官马克·卡蒂法尼(Mark Cutifani)将于明年退休，由邓肯·万布拉德(Duncan Wanblad)接替。加拿大皇家银行分析师预计，这将是一个“无缝”的过渡。(jessica.fleetham@wsj.com)

Next Falls Over Cautious Outlook
谨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市场主管理查德·亨特(Richard Hunter)表示，NeXT在很大程度上受到其在线业务的推动，在本季度继续取得了不懈的进步。然而，亨特说，预计这家时尚零售商不会保持如此快速的增长速度，这是其股价下跌的原因。亨特表示，这家富时100指数(FTSE 100)成份股公司的谨慎前景是NeXT通常预测的特点，这可能导致早盘交易中出现一些获利回吐。他表示，该公司仍然是一家健康的企业。亨特补充说：“考虑到这一最新消息对持续前景的保证，市场对股票买入的共识不太可能受到威胁。”股价下跌3.1%，至8056.00便士。(sabela.ojea@wsj.com；@sabelaojeaguix)
