Fears Britain is on the verge of voting to leave the European Union next week spread through global financial markets, sending Asian and European shares sharply lower and the pound to an 8-week low. Ivor Bennett reports
Third-quarter growth figures from the United States and Britain will be scrutinised by financial markets this week, along with a raft of key earnings reports from tech companies and banks. Hayley Platt reports.
The struggling pound rose after a brutal sell-off, as British Prime Minister Theresa May's offer to give lawmakers some scrutiny of the process to leave the EU calmed market fears of a "hard Brexit". But as Kate King reports, there's still plenty to worry about, including new warnings from the financial sector.
Britain's pound has fallen again on fears over a so-called "hard" Brexit, dropping below $1.27 for the first time since June 1985. And the UK's key services sector PMI has also fallen slightly, with financial services in particular bracing for fallout. Hayley Platt reports.
Britain's pound slumps to a three-decade low largely thanks to more home-grown Brexit worries. As David Pollard reports, it sent stocks up, with the FTSE 100 topping 7,000 for the first time in more than a year.
