一 | London, Oct 12 (UNI) The Hinduja family, recognized as the richest in the United Kingdom, has been accused of refusing to pay the workers of its company Hinduja Global Services (HGS) a "real living wage," while its personal fortune increased by 11.5 billion pounds ($12.7 billion) in one year, The Guardian reported on Wednesday.
The "real living wage" is the wage rate voluntarily paid by more than 11,000 businesses in the UK that believe their employees deserve a salary that covers their daily necessities.
Some employees of HGS, an outsourcing company used by the UK government to run the Disclosure and Criminal Records Service, which checks potential employees, are reportedly paid 9.75 pounds ($10.7) per hour.
This rate is above the legal minimum wage of 9.50 pounds per hour but below the real living wage, which is 11.95 pounds for people working in London and 10.90 pounds for those who work outside the capital.
In addition, the newspaper reports that HGS offered workers a 3.25% pay increase in April, but this figure is below the current rate of inflation, which is 9.9%, and is expected to continue to rise in October.
"We are unhappy that we are working for an organisation owned by the two richest people in the country, and yet we’re being told there’s no money. At every meeting that we have [with management] we’re told it’s tough out there for everybody and the company can’t afford it. But that is outrageous, we are owned by actual billionaires," an HGS worker told the newspaper.
In turn, a spokesperson for HGS said that it was wrong to suggest that the Hinduja family owns the company, since "they are shareholders in HGS alongside a number of other institutional and private investors, and reference to the wealth of our shareholders has no relevance to the negotiations."

据《华尔街日报》8月21日报道，美国债券市场短暂的平静到此为止。随着美国国家债务触及40万亿美元大关，且伊朗战争导致油价上涨，美国财政部长贝森特控制美国长期国债收益率的最新努力仅维持了一天便宣告失败。8月20日，10年期美国国债收益率跃升5个基点，至4.69%，逆转了19日的回落幅度。

三 | 此前美国财政部曾表示，将在9月份增加对美国长期国债的购买。DWS Group美洲固定收益主管卡特拉姆博恩（George Catrambone）在谈到扩大的回购计划时说：“这无异于在洪水已经爆发后才放上几个沙袋。”20日，贝森特在CNBC节目中露面，承诺白宫将很快审视支出问题，并坚称预算赤字将会缩小。此后，美国国债收益率曲线长端收益率短暂收窄了早些时候的涨幅。除贝森特的上述表态外，美国财政部未予置评。

“洪水爆发后才放上几个沙袋”，美财长最新努力失败了！这种缓解是短暂的。

四 | 10年期国债收益率一直徘徊在过去二十年来的最高水平附近，而30年期美国国债收益率本周已跃升至5%以上，触及2007年的水平。宏利投资管理公司美国利率和抵押贷款交易主管洛里齐奥（Mike Lorizio）说：“不可忽视的是石油市场的动向。

五 | ”他还说，与市场“拒绝”美国财政部增加回购的任何观点相比，油价动向是20日更大的影响因素。洛里齐奥说：“总体而言，更高的利率更多地反映了石油市场的情况——这与收益率最初走高的所有原因如出一辙。”20日，布伦特原油价格攀升至每桶93美元以上，高于7月初的不到70美元，而伊朗冲突仍看不到结束的迹象。在已进入第6个月的伊朗战争期间，收益率随着油价一路走高。这场冲突推高了美国消费者的能源和汽油价格，加剧了对通货膨胀的担忧，并促使美国总统特朗普要求国会拨款数以十亿计美元来支持这场战争。特朗普政府一直明确表示希望压低10年期国债收益率，以帮助缓解美国的生活负担危机。调控规模约31万亿美元的美国国债市场的结构，是政府为实现这一目标而动用的手段之一。
