<p>FTSE 100 持平；FTSE 250 下跌 0.1%</p>
<p>英镑在英格兰银行降息后创下 17 年新高</p>
<p>零售销售连续第二个月下滑</p>
<p>WH Smith 因会计失误面临财务审查</p>
<p>12 月 19 日（路透社）- 英国股市在周五暂停在多周高点附近，因零售销售和消费者信心数据指向经济放缓，导致房屋建筑商股票疲软。</p>
<p>英国蓝筹股 FTSE 100（.FTSE）在格林威治标准时间 1058 时持平。以国内为主的中型股 FTSE 250（.FTMC）指数在早盘交易中触及七周高点后下跌 0.1%。这两个指数都在向周度上涨迈进。</p>
<p>英国最长的消费者调查显示，12 月信心仅略有回升，此前财政部长 Rachel Reeves 宣布了 260 亿英镑（347.6 亿美元）的增税。另一份报告显示，上个月零售销售下降，进一步强化了零售商关于圣诞节前经济环境严峻的警告。</p>
<p>与此同时，英镑在英格兰银行如预期降息 25 个基点后，兑欧元和美元创下 17 年新高。中央银行的投票结果显示，一些政策制定者不确定是否需要更多降息，因为通胀在七国集团经济体中仍然是最高的。</p>
<p>FTSE 100 年初至今上涨约 20%，超过华尔街基准标准普尔 500 指数（.SPX）的 15.1% 涨幅。这主要得益于英国金融股的强劲上涨，特别是银行和保险公司，这些公司受益于更高的利率、被低估的估值和稳健的信贷条件。</p>
<p>当天，敏感于国内经济的房屋建筑商（.FTNMX402020）以 2.1% 的跌幅领跌。Barratt Redrow（BTRW.L）下跌 2.9%，因花旗将其目标价从 530 便士下调至 506 便士。Bellway（BWY.L）和 Berkeley Group Holdings（BKGH.L）分别下跌 1.7% 和 1.9%。</p>
<p>贵金属和矿业股（.FTNMX551030）也因黄金价格在强势美元面前失去支撑而下滑。（GOL/）</p>
<p>在个股中，WH Smith（SMWH.L）下跌 3.7%，因这家旅游零售商预测明年利润将几乎保持在 2025 年的同一水平，因为它在审查其北美业务时发现了会计失误，暴露了其财务控制的漏洞。英国金融监管机构也已对该公司展开调查。</p>
<p>中型贷款机构 OneSavings Bank（OSBO.L）和 Metro Bank（MTRO.L）的股票分别上涨 2.5% 和 0.2%，因两者被英格兰银行重新分类为 MREL 制度下的转移公司，这意味着如果这些银行面临倒闭，将通过将其业务转移到另一家公司来解决，这让投资者和存款人感到安心。</p>

</div><p>Meanwhile, sterling hit a 17-year high against the euro and the dollar after the Bank of England cut interest rates by 25 basis points on Thursday as expected. The central bank’s close vote showed some policymakers were not sure whether more cuts were needed, since inflation is still the highest among the G7 economies.</p>
