Meanwhile, traders are eyeing medium term economic cues for UK. The U.K. will be the worst performing G7 economy next year as high interest rates and restrictive fiscal policy hampers medium to long-term economic growth, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has stated. In its annual assessment of the U.K. economy, the OECD cut its U.K. growth outlook for GDP to 0.4 percent this year and 1 percent in 2025. This is down from 0.7 percent and 1.2 percent respectively from its last prediction in March.
