At 11:30 (GMT+2), December data on the manufacturing business activity index will be published in the UK. The indicator reflects the state of business activity in the national manufacturing industry based on a survey of purchasing and supply managers of leading national enterprises in all industries. At the same time, their attitude to the current economic situation and prospects for further development is assessed. The index is expected to rise from 46.4 points to 47.5 points in December, supporting the pound.
