| 美企業收益令人失望亞歐股市下滑 (Asian, European Stocks Slide on Disappointing US Earnings) |
|
|
美國一些企業的收益報告令人失望，引發外界擔心這個世界最大經濟體的經濟增長放緩，亞洲股市星期一大幅下滑。
東京和台北主要股指跌幅超過2%。南韓首爾股市下滑超過3%。香港恒生指數在收盤前下滑了大約3.5%。
歐洲主要股市星期一也以低價開盤。倫敦、巴黎、法蘭克福的主要指數在開盤不久後下滑了大約1.5%。 交易商說，美元對日圓和其他貨幣疲軟也令亞洲投資者擔憂。亞洲貨幣對美元升值導致亞洲出口產品在海外市場更加昂貴。 |

Asian stock markets fell sharply Monday after disappointing earnings reports in the United States raised fears of a slowdown in the world's biggest economy.
Major indices lost more than two percent in Tokyo and Taipei, while Seoul's market fell more than three-percent. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index was down about three-and-a-half percent in late trading.
European stock markets also opened lower Monday. Major indices in London, Paris and Frankfurt were losing around one-and-a-half percent in early trade. Dealers say the dollar's weakness against the yen and other currencies also worried investors in Asia. Stronger Asian currencies make Asian exports relatively more expensive in overseas markets. |
