2024 STILL FEELS LIKE 2023 WITH LOWINVESTOR SENTIMENT

2024年仍然像2023年，投资者情绪低迷

The first trading week of the new yearhasn't exactly been great. Chinese Mainland markets continued to trade lower asinvestors wait for sentiment to recover. But even the better looking data wesaw this week for China's services sector wasn't enough to get things moving.The Shanghai Composite Index was down 0.9 percent on Friday and theShenzhen Component was off more than 1 percent.

新年的第一个交易周并不太好。中国大陆股市继续走低，投资者等待市场情绪回升。但即使我们本周看到的中国服务业的数据看起来更好，也不足以推动事态发展。上周五，上证综指下跌0.9%，深证成分股跌幅超过1%。

The vast bulk of sectors were downtoday led by losses for tech, healthcare and industrials; while financialstocks just about broke even.

今天绝大多数板块下跌，科技、医疗保健和工业板块领跌；而金融股几乎实现盈亏平衡。

Investors are also still waiting to see anyserious payoff from the launch of the new CSI A50 index on Tuesday. This is asmaller, more select index of blue chip stocks than the CSI 300, but it's alsofar more diverse in terms of the kinds of sectors it covers. And whilethere's been strong early interest from funds looking to set up ETFs trackingthe A50, that's going to take a while to translate into gains, and the index isending its maiden week down more than 3 percent.

投资者仍在等待周二推出的新中证A50指数带来的任何重大回报。与沪深300相比，这是一个规模更小、更具选择性的蓝筹股指数，但它所涵盖的行业种类也要多样化得多。尽管希望建立跟踪A50的ETF的基金早期有强烈的兴趣，但这需要一段时间才能转化为收益，该指数在首周结束时下跌了3%以上。

There was a bit of gloom on other regionalmarkets today now that investors feel sharp and quick US Fed rate cuts are lesslikely. That obsession with when rate cuts will begin also makes the release ofUS jobs data tonight a big event for the markets. But on the whole, fewertraders now think there'll be cuts by March, and that dented growth stocksaround the region. The Hang Seng was 0.7 percent lower at the close.

今天，其他地区市场出现了一些悲观情绪，因为投资者认为美联储大幅快速降息的可能性较小。对何时开始降息的痴迷也使今晚美国就业数据的发布成为市场的一件大事。但总的来说，现在认为到3月会减产的交易员越来越少，这削弱了该地区的增长股。恒生指数收盘时下跌0.7%。

Alibaba, Lenovo, chip maker SMIC ... alltraded down in Hong Kong. Energy stocks provided a little relief as oil pricesclimbed, with CNOOC and PetroChina among the leading gainers.

阿里巴巴、联想、芯片制造商中芯国际。。。香港股市全部下跌。随着油价攀升，能源股略有缓解，中海油和中石油涨幅居前。

Japan provided a bit of a contrast today asthe Nikkei 225 rose a quarter of one percent. That was due almost entirely to aweaker yen boosting exporter stocks. As usual that means gains forJapanese automakers - Toyota rose 2.5 percent, but there were gains for banksand brokerages as well.

今天，日本日经225指数上涨了四分之一，形成了鲜明对比。这几乎完全是由于日元走弱提振了出口股。和往常一样，这意味着日本汽车制造商的涨幅——丰田上涨了2.5%，但银行和券商也有所上涨。

So at the end of the first week of 2024,the new year still feels much like the old one.

因此，在2024年的第一周结束时，新的一年感觉仍然很像旧的一年。
