Week ahead: Autumn statement, Fedspeak in focus
Investors' focus over the coming week will be on the Chancellor's Autumn Statement, on Thursday, which economists anticipate will reinforce Britain's grim economic outlook.
A raft of key economic reports are due out as well, including readings on the UK jobs market in September, on Tuesday, and for consumer prices and retail sales covering the month of October on Wednesday and Friday, respectively.
Worth noting, Bank of England Governor, Andrew Bailey, will testify to Parliament on Wednesday.
Stateside meanwhile, the market spotlight will likely be on a slew of speeches by top Federal Reserve officials scheduled for over the week.
US producer price data will be published on Tuesday, followed by monthly retail sales figures on Wednesday and housing data on Thursday and Friday.
A barrage of key Chinese economic reports on fixed asset investment, industrial production and retail sales in October are also due out.
Across the Channel, the main data releases will be the ZEW institute's economic confidence index for Germany during the month of November on Tuesday, followed by a final reading for euro area consumer prices on Thursday.
