-- 週一，英國股市收跌，富時100指數下跌0.56%，投資人在即將公佈的企業財報和包括英國央行在內的關鍵央行利率決議前保持謹慎。 丹麥銀行表示：“儘管近期數據表現強勁，但英國勞動力市場依然疲軟，3.75%的基準利率遠高於2022年的水平。加息必須權衡其可能加劇經濟萎縮的巨大風險。我們認為，英國央行在可預見的未來很可能繼續按兵不動。” 同時，英國工業聯合會（CBI）分銷貿易調查顯示，4月份零售銷售收支平衡指數從3月的-52%降至-68%。根據Investing.com報道，市場普遍預期該月收支平衡指數為-42%。 「隨著伊朗衝突的經濟影響日益明朗，企業將期待政府認識到，緩解生活成本壓力取決於解決企業運營成本問題。對於分銷行業而言，這意味著要確保《就業權利法案》的適用範圍合理，進行切實有效的商業稅率改革，並進一步探索如何從電費中剔除非能源政策成本，」英國工業聯合會（CBI）首席經濟學家馬丁·薩托里烏斯表示。 在公司新聞方面，葛蘭素史克（GSK.L）股價下跌0.20%，本週開局繁忙。除了與Alfasigma公司就其膽汁淤積性瘙癢治療藥物linerixibat達成許可協議外，這家英國製藥巨頭還分別在美國和歐洲獲得了其每月一次的在研肝病治療藥物efimosfermin的突破性療法認定和優先藥物認定。 同時，美國特拉華州衡平法院批准了 AnaptysBio 對 GSK 子公司 Tesaro 提出的駁回動議，後者重申其觀點，即預期違約索賠完全沒有依據。
