9:30 AM GMT - UK prelim GDP, industrial production and manufacturing production. A plethora of data from the UK is the main event on the economic calendar with the first look at Q3 growth likely to make the headlines. An expected reading of +0.4% after -0.2% in Q2 would see the UK avoid a technical recession, but given the lagging nature of this data the main market moves, if any, could come from elsewhere. Both manufacturing and industrial production have been soft in recent months and with M/M readings forecast of -0.2% and -0.1% respectively, expectations are low going into it.
