UK PMI data saw a downtick of output for the third consecutive quarter in November led by a fall in residential buildings putting pressure on the GBP post release. Markets are starting to price in rate cuts – 3 by the end of 2024 depending on how inflation performs. Next week we have NZ 3rd quarter GDP before the Bank of England’s cash rate announcement.
