　　全球三大經(jīng)濟體相繼公布：10月份制造業(yè)活動增強，訂單狀況改善，這推動了各地股市上揚，因為投資者看到了希望：全球經(jīng)濟復蘇正植根于堅實的基礎(chǔ)之上。

　　Economists, who had been expecting indicators of manufacturing output to slow, were confounded by an improving outlook in the US, China and the UK.

　　美國、中國和英國的制造業(yè)前景好轉(zhuǎn)，讓此前預期制造業(yè)產(chǎn)出指標應(yīng)會放緩的經(jīng)濟學家們感到困惑。

　　These initial indicators of a positive start to the fourth quarter are unlikely to be sufficient to prevent the Federal Reserve from pumping money into the economy on Wednesday, in a second round of quantitative easing aimed at boosting the US growth rate further.

　　這些表明第四季度開局良好的初步指標，可能不足以阻止美聯(lián)儲(Fed)在周三啟動第二輪量化寬松貨幣政策，為進一步促進美國經(jīng)濟增長，向經(jīng)濟中再次注入大量資金。

　　Anticipating a wave of Fed money alongside a strongly growing world economy, investors increased their demand for risk on Monday, pushing equities higher.

　　對美聯(lián)儲注資的預期，加之全球經(jīng)濟增長強勁，使增強了投資者的風險偏好，推高了各地股市。

　　在各大經(jīng)濟體中，中國最早公布了好消息：兩項采購經(jīng)理指數(shù)(PMI)的升幅均遠高于預期水平。

　　Indian manufacturing PMI data were also strong and offset weaker-than-expected figures in countries such as South Korea.

　　印度制造業(yè)PMI指數(shù)也表現(xiàn)強勁，抵消了韓國等許多國家數(shù)據(jù)遜于預期的影響。

　　In Europe, the UK also published strong PMI figures. It reported a rise from 53.5 to 54.9, suggesting that growth was unlikely to slow further this year.

　　在歐洲，英國也發(fā)布了強勁的PMI數(shù)據(jù)：從53.5升至54.9，表明今年內(nèi)經(jīng)濟增長不太可能進一步放緩。

　　The figures “will provide reassurance that manufacturing remained a driver of UK economic growth at the start of the final quarter”, said Rob Dobson, economist at Markit, which produces the data.

　　數(shù)據(jù)編制機構(gòu)Markit的經(jīng)濟學家羅布•道布森(Rob Dobson)表示，上述數(shù)據(jù)“會使人放心，進入最后一個季度后，制造業(yè)依將是英國經(jīng)濟增長的一個動力”。

　　‘Flash’ indicators from the eurozone last month also showed an improvement in business activity among manufacturers, especially in Germany.

　　歐元區(qū)上月發(fā)布的“閃’(Flash)數(shù)據(jù)也顯示制造業(yè)活動有所改善，尤其是在德國。

　　在美國，由供應(yīng)管理學會(ISM)發(fā)布的同類數(shù)據(jù)也顯示，制造業(yè)增長加速，10月份PMI從9月的54.4升至56.9。

　　Investors are expecting the Fed to restart quantitative easing after its meeting on Wednesday by signalling plans to create about $500bn over the next six months to purchase assets, such as government bonds.

　　投資者目前估計，美聯(lián)儲在周三會議結(jié)束后將重啟量化寬松貨幣政策，宣布未來半年內(nèi)計劃“創(chuàng)造”5000億美元左右的資金，用以買進國債之類的資產(chǎn)。
