Week commencing 28 November

Chris Beauchamp's insight

US jobs data dominates the week, as we await the latest job creation figures and pay data. We also have purchasing managers index (PMI) data from China, as debate continues over whether that economy will be able to continue with its reopening plans following the rise in Covid-19 cases. Corporate news is quiet, with only budget airline easyJet of note this week.
