The S&P 500 index closed on Thursday night at a record high of 1，569,，up 6 points or 0.4%. The last time it broke into new territory was on 9 October 2007 when it closed at 1,，565.

The S&P has been near its record high for several weeks,，despite the still sluggish performance of the US economy. This means it finishes the quarter 10% higher than its level at the beginning of the year and more than double its low point during the financial crisis.
標(biāo)準(zhǔn)普爾500指數(shù)幾周以來一直位于其歷史高位附近,，盡管美國經(jīng)濟(jì)增長依舊緩慢。此次收盤點(diǎn)位意味著該指數(shù)在從年初至今的2013年第一季度期間增長了10%,，并較金融危機(jī)低點(diǎn)高出一倍多,。(英國廣播公司)
The index is closely tracked by professional investors and its four-year recovery since 2009 reflects a growing belief that the Federal Reserve’s continuing support for markets and the economy will overcome modest U.S. growth and lingering economic and political weakness in Europe.
作為專業(yè)投資者主要追蹤的對象，標(biāo)準(zhǔn)普爾500指數(shù)自2009年開始為期四年的反彈,，這反映了投資者對于美聯(lián)儲持續(xù)給市場以支持的信心日益增強(qiáng),，也反映出投資者堅(jiān)信美國經(jīng)濟(jì)將克服持續(xù)的歐洲政治和經(jīng)濟(jì)疲弱的影響，最終走出疲軟的增長態(tài)勢,。(《華爾街日報(bào)》)
But some strategists say Thursday’s record could be a harbinger that the stock market rally is running out of steam.

“As the market has gone higher ... upward moves have generally gotten smaller,，which suggests that the move is getting old and that we need a pullback,，”said Mark Arbeter，chief technical strategist for Standard & Poor’s in New York.
“隨著股市走高……市場上行幅度總體減小,，這表明指數(shù)上漲開始乏力,，我們需要減速，”紐約標(biāo)準(zhǔn)普爾首席技術(shù)顧問馬克·阿爾貝特稱,。(路透社)
Investors warned clients not to get overly excited.“Getting back to where we were is an important step,，”said Howard Silverblatt，senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices. But he cautioned in a note to investors：“Markets are volatile,，and if you are a long-term investor you should expect declines.”

So far，annual inflation has been benign enough that policy makers have largely ignored it,，but U.S. consumer prices nevertheless are up 13% since 2007. Stock indexes only recently have moved above their levels of that period,，meaning they remain far from records after adjusting for inflation.
迄今為止，美國溫和的年通貨膨脹率足以使決策者基本上忽略物價(jià)的上漲壓力,。但美國消費(fèi)價(jià)格自2007年以來已累計(jì)上漲了13%,。而股指直到最近才突破當(dāng)時(shí)的水平，這意味著在經(jīng)過通貨膨脹因素調(diào)整后,，股指距離新的高點(diǎn)仍有很大一段距離。(《華爾街日報(bào)》)
