U.S Durable Goods Orders (MoM) (Feb)
In January, the U.S durable goods orders have fell 6.1% vs -4.5% expected, marking the largest decrease in nearly four years,while business investment in equipment appeared to have eased, indicating a decrease in economic momentum at the beginning of the year. Nevertheless, there are indications of recovery in the industrial sector of the economy recently, and the potential for lower interest rates later in the year could contribute to an increase in demand as the Fed recently hinted at further rate cuts. Consequently, orders may rebound and show improvement.

UK GDP (QoQ)
The UK's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) experienced a contraction of -0.3% in Q4, worse than the expected decline of -0.1%. This downturn was attributed to declines across all primary sectors and caused the UK to enter a technical recession. However, recent developments suggest that the UK is on track to emerge from a minor recession within months with official figures indicating that there was a modest growth of 0.2% in January. The upcoming data is expected to have a better result next week.
