It’s a very quiet start to the week, so the markets will have some time to focus on the Autumn Forecast Statement, which serves as a preview to the annual UK budget. This report will be closely watched, as it will detail the government’s forecast for the economy ahead of the Brexit negotiations. Analysts are bracing for a pessimistic report which will point to lower growth, higher inflation and a ballooning deficit. Since the Brexit vote, the economy has managed quite well, consistently putting up numbers which have beaten expectations. However, if the Autumn Forecast Statement points to serious trouble ahead as Britain prepares to leave the EU, the pound could weaken.
