In a surprisingly upbeat Budget, the Chancellor announced that “austerity is coming to an end”, and promised the first outright fiscal loosening for a decade in 2019/20. This should provide a welcome support to GDP growth, particularly next year - although the large fall in the PMIs in October suggests that the economy slowed sharply at the start of Q4. The Treasury’s panel of independent forecasters held its November forecast GDP growth rate for 2018 at 1.3% and pointed to GDP growth accelerating to 1.5% in 2019. The underlying economic platform therefore appears relatively benign although the elephant in the room remains Brexit, both from an economic and a political perspective. The current deal (withdrawal agreement and political declaration) has been signed off by the other 27 EU countries however, Theresa May needs to persuade MPs in her own Parliament to back it. A vote will now take place on 11th December.

Nevertheless, there have been signs that the economy may have recovered somewhat in the second quarter. Growth in UK services hit a three-month high in May, although this was against the backdrop of strong cost pressures. The IHS Markit/CIPS UK Services Purchasing Managers’ Index climbed to 54 in May, up on 52.8 in April. Competitive pricing, greater business investment and new product launches led to improved sales volumes, but the increase in new work was one of the weakest seen since summer 2016. Meanwhile, Brexit rumbles on with multiple outcome scenarios still a possibility. Theresa May has welcomed the passing of the Brexit bill through Parliament as "a crucial step" in delivering a "smooth and orderly Brexit". Peers accepted the amendment to the EU (Withdrawal) Bill sent to them from the House of Commons, meaning the bill now goes for Royal Assent to become law.

Some customers rushed to branches in west London over the weekend to withdraw money and items from safe deposit boxes following warnings on Whatsapp. The bank said the rumours were false and attempted to reassure customers and investors that its £350m capital raise – in response to a major loans blunder – was “well advanced”. The bank said it remained a “safe and secure haven” for customers’ money. Shares fell 11 per cent yesterday to close at fresh trough of 475p.
