Week commencing 5 December

Chris Beauchamp's insight

This week sees central bank decisions from Australia and Canada, along with the US ISM non-mfg PMI and the Chinese Caixin services purchasing managers index (PMI). US earnings season is winding down, while in the UK Ashtead, British American Tobacco and Frasers Group are worth watching on the equity front.
