经济学人:股市震荡:投资者们受一重击(1)

 

Finance and economics

财经

 

Markets: Boo!

市场:哈!

 

After a long period of calm, investors get a shock.

一阵平静过后,投资者们受一重击。

 

Every good horror-film director knows the secret of the “jump scare”.Just when the hero or heroine feels safe, the monster appears from nowhere to startle them.The latest stockmarket shock could have been directed by Alfred Hitchcock.

译文

每位优秀的恐怖电影导演都知道猛地吓人一跳之道。当男主角或女主角觉得安全的时候,怪物就突然不知道从哪里冒出来吓他们。最近的股市震荡可能是由阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克一手导演的。

 

The sharp falls that took place on February 2nd and 5th followed a long period where the only direction for share prices appeared to be upwards.In fact the American market had risen so far, so fast that the decline only took share prices back to where they were at the start of the year.

译文

发生在22日和第五日的急剧下跌缘起于早前一段股票价格上涨的时间。实际上,美国股市上涨了这么远,涨得这么快,使得这次下跌不过是把股价带回到了年初的水平。

 

And although a 1,175-point fall in the DowJones Industrial Average on February 5th was the biggest ever in absolute terms,it was still smallish beer in proportionateterms, at just 4.6%.The 508-point fall in the Dow in October 1987 knocked nearly 23% off the market.

译文

而且,尽管道琼斯工业平均指数在25日的1175点的下跌,从绝对数值上来说是史上最大的。但是,从百分比上来看,它仍旧是小菜一碟,只有4.6%。道指在198710月的508点下跌曾经把市场砍去了将近23%。而且,尽管25日道琼斯工业平均指数下跌1175点,从绝对数值来看是史上最大的一次,但是,从百分比上来看,它仍旧是小菜一碟,只有4.6%。道琼斯指数在198710月的508点下跌使市场几乎跌了23%

 

Still, surprise rippled round the world.Between January 29th and early trading on February 7th, the MSCI Emerging Markets Index dropped by 7.5%.The FTSE 100 index fell by 8.2% from its record high, set in January.A late recovery on February 6th, in which the Dow rebounded by 2.3% (or 567 points), restored some calm.

译文

尽管如此,在129日和27日初的交易中,摩根士丹利资本国际新兴市场指数下跌了7.5%FTSE 100指数从一月创下的历史高点下跌了8.2%26日的后期复苏中,道琼斯工业指数回升了2.3%(567)恢复了平静。
