Greetings one and all

It's hump day and Thanksgiving tomorrow for our US cousins so we can expect another scrappy day but not without opportunity

Data wise we don't have a lot this morning but later in the US we get durable goods, PCE, initial jobless claims (a day early because of tomorrow's holiday) and Michigan surveys

Highlight of UK session is the fin min's spending review and Autumn Budget at 12.30 GMT. Not a real threat to short term price action but will be interesting for UK watchers nonetheless.

The BBC is running this live thread

As always I wish you a good session
