Gross domestic product data for October will be the focus on Friday, after the economy unexpectedly contracted by 0.1% in September.
According to Trading Economics, forecasts are for growth of 0.2% over the month, reflecting a 1.6% uptick on an annual basis.
“We expect services activity to inch higher in October - but only just,” Deutsche Bank said, “and we see some modest gains in industrial production and construction output”.
