It should be a quieter end to the week, with UK retail sales numbers for October among the morning's releases. Retail sales slumped in September as the warm weather hit clothing sales and the cost-of-living crisis continued to bite.
On the company front, Record specialises in foreign exchange and currency funds and after mixed results from rivals recently, investors will be hoping for some good numbers to restore some calm to the sector.
Companies due to report:
Interims: Record PLC (LSE:REC)
AGMs: Future Metals, Rockpool Acquisitions
Economic announcements: Retail Sales (UK), Cost of Living Survey (UK), Building Permits (US), Housing Starts (US)
