Little company news makes for a quiet day in the world of financial results, with B&M's AGM and interims for junior mining group First Tin PLC (LSE:1SN) leading the way.
However, on the back of the Bank of England's decision to call it a day with the interest rates (for now) comes flash PMI figures, with consensus expecting the metric to lift from 48.6 the month before to 48.7, while analysts at TradingEconomics believe a jump to 49 is likely.
Some analysts believe this may not be the case and instead argue the Bank of England may have seen this figure prior its decision to pause the interest rate hikes, pointing to the potential for an unexpected drop in PMI figures this month.
