    November 28, 2020

    Britain’s FTSE 100 stock index is on track for its second-best month in history as optimism about vaccines boosts unloved sectors such as financials and industrials that dominate the UK corporate landscape.

  • Tiered lockdowns spread gloom over UK services sector

    November 27, 2020

    Firms in the UK services sector became much more gloomy in the third quarter of the year as the Covid “second wave crashed”, after optimism picked up in the summer when cases were falling, the latest CBI survey has shown. The consumer services sector was particularly downbeat, with the pandemic hitting business harder than in [...]

  • Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies plunge after nearing record highs

    November 26, 2020

    November 26, 2020
