Highlights and View

  • Chancellor Reeves restores fiscal headroom by raising the tax burden to a post-war high
    Financial markets welcomed the announcement of the Autumn Budget with gilt yields falling significantly and the pound strengthening against the USD and the EUR.
  • Global equity markets rebound close to record highs, with tech again in the driver’s seat
    The recent sell-off proved short-lived as investor sentiment improved around Fed rate cuts and the continuation of the AI boom, with the seasonal ‘Santa rally’ appearing to be underway.
  • India’s real GDP rises 8.2% YoY in Q3, sharply exceeding the 7.3% consensus estimate
    Policy tailwinds and benign inflation are expected to keep growth momentum intact going forward.
