FXStreet (Guatemala) – Analysts at TD Securities noted the key events, besides the BoE, for the week ahead in the UK.
Key Quotes:
“October Industrial Production (8 Dec): We see downside risks to October’s manufacturing, which likely fell in October by 0.6% (consensus: 0.1%), after posting a healthy 0.8% gain in September. The sector is feeling the strains of a relatively high GBP, and will continue to weigh on UK growth. Luckily domestic demand in other sectors—particularly those related to consumer spending and services—are keeping the UK economy on a healthy growth track.
October Construction Output (11 Dec): UK construction output has been trending lower in recent months, but we expect a small tick up (0.2% m/m) in October (consensus: 0.8% m/m) as activity in the housing sector was supported by rising house prices and mortgage applications, even if the PMI Construction declined during the month.
