- On Wednesday, investors await the autumn Budget, where Chancellor John Healey is expected to announce an investment boost and modest tax rises; the FTSE 100 index rose 0.7% on Monday ahead of the fiscal announcement.

- Interest rate decisions in the US, Europe, and Japan this week are expected to hold rates steady, while AI firm Anthropic revealed plans to sell shares, testing whether the AI boom can deliver profits.
