Week commencing 13 November

Chris Beauchamp's insight

US and UK consumer price index (CPI) reports dominate the week, as investors wait to hear the latest news on the key indicator of the past year. Other UK data such as employment figures and retail sales will drive activity in sterling. US retailers such as WalMart update the market with earnings, while in the UK BAE Systems and Burberry are among the major companies reporting results.
