Japanese Trading House Shares Rise on Buffett’s Growing Stake

（日本商社股價因巴菲特增持而上漲）

Shares of Japan’s biggest trading houses advanced after Berkshire Hathaway Inc. increased its stake.

（波克夏海瑟威 (Berkshire Hathaway Inc.) 增持日本最大商社股份後，其股價上漲。）

Shares of Mitsubishi Corp., Marubeni Corp., Mitsui & Co., Itochu Corp. and Sumitomo Corp. climbed at least 4% as of 9:09 a.m. in Tokyo after filings to Japan’s finance ministry showed that Berkshire’s average holding across the stocks increased by just over one percentage point to about 9.3%.

（截至東京時間上午 9:09，三菱商事（Mitsubishi Corp.）、丸紅（Marubeni Corp.）、三井物產（Mitsui & Co.）、伊藤忠商事（Itochu Corp.）和住友商事（Sumitomo Corp.）的股價均上漲至少 4%，此前提交給日本財務省的文件顯示，波克夏對這些股票的平均持股比例增加略高於一個百分點以上，達到約 9.3%。）

Investors had been speculating over Warren Buffett’s next move since his annual letter to shareholders said that Berkshire is looking to increase ownership in Japan’s five largest trading houses “over time”.

（自巴菲特在年度致股東信中表示，波克夏計劃「隨著時間推移」增加對日本五大商社的持股比例以來，投資者一直在猜測他的下一步行動。）
