周三，沙特阿拉伯的石油公司沙特阿美(Aramco)首次上市交易，上市头几分钟就上涨了10%，市值达到1.88万亿美元，成为全球市值最高的上市公司。

The state-owned oil giant started trading on the Saudi Tadawul stock exchange after a mammoth $25.6 billion initial public offering that set the record as the biggest ever in history. Trading for Aramco shares began at 10:30 a.m. in Riyadh.

The company had announced a sale of 1.5% of its shares at 32 Saudi riyals a share, or what is $8.53.
