GRAPHIC-Take Five: End in sight
Nov 9, 2025 11:15 PM

(Updates story first published on Friday, changes headline and

dateline, updates section 1 and 2)

LONDON, Nov 10 (Reuters) - From a focus on how quickly

tech-driven, frothy equity markets unwind, to the impact of the

U.S. shutdown, there's plenty to mull over next week.

And don't forget China data, UK budget speculation and a

U.N. climate change summit.

Here's all you need to know about the coming week in

financial markets by Rae Wee in Singapore, Alden Bentley in New

York and Amanda Cooper, Marc Jones and Libby George in London.

1/ BACK TO REALITY?

The week starts on an upbeat mood as the U.S. Senate on

Sunday moved forward on a measure aimed at reopening the federal

government and ending a now 40-day shutdown that has sidelined

federal workers, delayed food aid and snarled air travel.

If an agreement is finalised, data must still be compiled

and rescheduled, meaning a scheduled inflation release on

Thursday is unlikely. So the data fog may continue for now.

The disruption since October 1 has surpassed the record

shutdown in Donald Trump's first term as president.

Relief may prove temporary, as the impact of the shutdown on

the economy emerges.

Others note that any agreement might be temporary, meaning

markets could be back to shutdown watch in the not too distant

future.

2/ LACKING DATA CHEER

As investors look past an uneasy Sino-U.S. trade truce, at

least until things turn sour again, focus returns to domestic

data for clues on how China will score on the 2025 economic

report card as the year nears a close.

Data on Sunday showed producer price deflation eased in

October and consumer prices returned to positive territory.

House prices and retail sales, among the slew of

Friday's data releases, are also unlikely to move the needle on

a bleak outlook.

China's exports unexpectedly fell in October, data last week

showed.

But markets are less sensitive to China's weak run of

economic data, with stocks still ripping higher, buoyed by the

nation's push for greater technological self-reliance and a

modern industrial system.

3/ A VERY BRITISH DATA MINEFIELD

UK investors are gearing up for a December rate cut from the

Bank of England.

But first, there's a forest of data to get through - much of

which will be key to BoE decision-making - before finance

minister Rachel Reeves reveals her budget on November 26.

Reeves paved the way for tax rises in a rare pre-budget

speech on Tuesday, although she did not indicate whether her

plan would break any manifesto pledges.

Sterling is at its weakest since 2023 against the euro

and at its lowest since April against the dollar

.

The coming week's numbers on consumer prices, wage inflation

and economic growth may set the tone for UK markets before that

key budget, while trade balance numbers may outline how much

Trump's tariffs have affected the UK/U.S. "special

relationship".

4/ EMERGING MARKETS: NOT GETTING TRUMPED?

Nigeria joined a list of emerging nations in Trump's

crosshairs after the U.S. president threatened military action

if the West African oil producer doesn't do more to protect its

Christians.

Investors barely registered the threat, and days later, a

Nigerian bond sale was oversubscribed.

A pattern of Trump threats over trade or other perceived

failures followed by a modest market reaction has played out in

Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and South Africa.

Trump's aid cuts have hurt vulnerable economies and his

trade policy puts hundreds of thousands of jobs at risk in

exporting nations.

But investors' risk-on mood, lower global borrowing costs, a

softer dollar and positive local growth and reform stories

suggest a strong anti-Trump buffer is in place. Even China is

luring cash.

Nigerian stocks dipped after Trump's Sunday salvo, but

emerging market equities broadly have notched returns of nearly

32% in dollar terms this year, an asset performance second only

to gold, according to BofA.

5/BAD COP

The COP30 global climate summit kicks off on Monday in

Belem, the Brazilian city symbolically chosen for its rainforest

location at the mouth of the Amazon.

It's shaping up to be a highly contentious few weeks. The

diminished set of leaders attending are bemoaning the fracturing

of global consensus on climate action, taking swipes at the

climate-change-denying U.S. government while trying to assure

the world they remain unswerving in their own commitments.

Whether the world buys that is another question. Even host

Brazil, trying to drum up $125 billion to protect world

rainforests, has just taken the highly controversial decision to

begin drilling for oil in the Amazon.

The gathering also marks three decades since global climate

negotiations began. Countries have curbed a climb in carbon

emissions somewhat, but not enough to prevent what scientists

consider extreme climate change in coming decades.
