United Kingdom country watch
Exposure to the United Kingdom means watching the Bank of England and sterling, post-Brexit customs and regulatory divergence, the ports of Felixstowe and Dover, strikes, and the City, energy, retail and pharma groups that shape demand. We read the FT, The Times, The Telegraph, The Guardian and the BBC's business desk every morning.
