2、欧洲 Russian rouble falls to new low on sanctions threat 制裁威胁之下 俄卢布贬至历史新低 2014年8月30日 6:08 The Russian rouble fell to a record low against the dollar as investors fear further sanctions against the nation. The rouble fell to 37.03 per dollar on Friday, its worst valuation since the currency was restructured in 1998. The tumble comes weeks after Russia's central bank pledged to intervene less in the currency's valuation. It also follows peace talks in Minsk between Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Minsk. The market may have found the talks "disappointing" and renewed its concern over sanctions, said Manik Narain, emerging market strategist at UBS. A recent weak economic performance and the conflict with Ukraine have combined with Moscow's commitment to intervene less with the value of the rouble, said Mr Narain. 由于投资者担心俄罗斯会受到新的制裁，俄罗斯货币卢布兑美元贬至历史新低。 上周五卢布汇价降至37.03卢布兑一美元，这是自1998年卢布重组之后的最低价值。这次大跌是俄罗斯央行表示将减少对货币价值的干预之后几个星期发生的。此前不久，乌克兰总统波罗申科和俄总统普金已在明斯克举行和平会谈。瑞士联合银行的新兴市场策略家马尼克·纳拉称，从股票市场可以看出这次会谈“令人失望”，并且制裁令人堪忧。纳拉表示，近期俄罗斯经济表现疲软，与乌克兰的冲突加剧，这些都与莫斯科承诺将减少对卢布价值的干预有关。

4、欧洲 Eurozone inflation rate nears five-year low 欧元区通胀率接近五年最低
2014年8月29日 18:53 The eurozone inflation rate has fallen to 0.3% in August, near a five-year low, adding to fears of a deflationary spiral, according to Eurostat figures. That compares with a rate of 0.4% in July. The drop, driven by lower food and energy prices, will add to pressure on the European Central Bank (ECB) to take action to stimulate the economy. Separate figures showed the unemployment rate remained near a record high at 11.5% in July. The ECB meets next Thursday to decide on interest rates. 根据欧盟统计局数据，欧元区今年八月份通胀率降到0.3%，接近五年来最低水平，几乎形成螺旋式通货紧缩，形势令人担忧。 今年七月，通胀率为0.4%。在较低的食品和能源价格的推动下，这次通胀率的下降为欧洲央行（ECB）采取措施刺激欧元区经济施加了压力。其他数据表明，七月份欧元区的失业率维持在11.5%之高。下周四ECB将开会决定利率。

7、亚洲 Asian shares cautiously push higher 亚洲股市小幅上涨 2014年9月1日 14:50 By Lisa Twaronite TOKYO (Reuters) - Asian shares edged higher on Monday, with investors wary of a deepening crisis in Ukraine and a downbeat China manufacturing survey, while the euro touched a fresh one-year low ahead of this week's European Central Bank meeting. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko warned a "full-scale war" was imminent if Russian troops continued to advance in support of pro-Moscow rebels, while U.S. and European leaders threatened Moscow with further sanctions. But Friday's Wall Street cheer managed to offset the geopolitical concerns and the China survey. U.S. shares climbed ahead of a three-day weekend for Monday's U.S. Labor Day holiday. 东京（路透社）——由于乌克兰危机加深，中国制造业不景气，这使得投资者谨小慎微，亚洲股市本周一小幅上涨。而本周欧洲央行举行会议后，欧元即将至本年最低点。 乌克兰总统波兰申科警告称，如果俄罗斯军队继续支持亲俄反政府武装，将会爆发“全面战争”。与此同时，美国和欧洲国家领导人均以将进一步制裁莫斯科进行威胁。 然而，上周五华尔街的良好股市试图成功对地缘政治的担忧和对中国制造业的不良情形进行补偿。在上周一美国劳动节的三天假期来临之前，美国股市有上涨趋势。
