Global equity markets are trading lower following a significant sell-off in the tech sector, particularly driven by Broadcom's sharp decline of over 10%. This downturn comes amid concerns regarding rising operational costs associated with AI investments and mixed economic signals, including an unexpected increase in US jobless claims to 236 ,000.

1:54In the UK, economic data revealed a contraction of 0.1 % in GDP for October, marking the fourth consecutive month without growth and raising concerns about ongoing economic challenges. The widening trade deficit to£22.54 billion further exacerbates these worries, indicating deteriorating conditions within the UK's trading environment. Additionally, Federal Reserve officials have expressed greater concern about labour market weaknesses than inflation risks. They suggest that while recent rate cuts aim to cushion potential job market deterioration, there is still caution regarding future monetary policy adjustments as they await more comprehensive data on inflation and employment trends.
