Economic news:
US: U.S. consumer confidence unexpectedly rose in October as concerns about high inflation were offset by improving labour market prospects, suggesting economic growth was picking up after a turbulent third quarter.
The survey from the Conference Board on Tuesday showed consumers eager to buy a home and big-ticket item such as motor vehicles and major household appliances over the next six months. The share of Americans planning to go on vacation was the largest since February 2020, just before the nation was slammed by the first wave of COVID-19 infections.
A resurgence in coronavirus cases over the summer, driven by the Delta variant, and supply-chain constraints related to the pandemic restrained economic activity last quarter.
“Consumers are more upbeat after a rocky third quarter and this argues for a strong finish for the economy in 2021,” said Christopher Rupkey, chief economist at FWDBONDS in New York. “Consumers know the tight labour market has their backs. Those forecasting a recession from the drop in the confidence late in the summer will have to back off that call.”
Eurozone: British finance minister Rishi Sunak will try to show that he is moving on from the COVID-19 pandemic on Wednesday when he announces multi-billion-pound investments to help Prime Minister Boris Johnson meet his spending promises to voters.
But Sunak, who has racked up the biggest ever peacetime budget deficit to combat the coronavirus, will also keep a tight grip on day-to-day spending by many government departments, something that could slow Britain’s still incomplete recovery.
As well as a budget update – which for once is not expected to include emergency stimulus measures – Sunak will announce a three-year spending plan with investments in public transport, skills training and other projects to advance Johnson’s plan to “level up” poorer regions of the country.
At the same time, he will try to burnish the government’s low-carbon credentials before Britain hosts the COP26 climate summit starting next week.
“Today’s budget begins the work of preparing for a new economy post-COVID…, an economy fit for a new age of optimism,” Sunak is due to say, according to excerpts of his speech released by the finance ministry.
