A sad day for many as the world said goodbye to Aussie cricketer Phillip Hughes at a funeral service broadcast live on national television and on big screens in Australia’s major cities.It was also shown at the SCG, where Hughes suffered the fatal injury during a state match last Tuesday

The BBC has more here . Sad times indeed.

Back to the markets and datawise we have services PMI dominating this morning particularly in the UK where it makes up such a large part of GDP. Then we hear from the UK fin min on the govt’s latest budget plans in the Autumn Statement at 12.30 before heading on to the US ADP NFP change, Bank of Canada interest rate announcement and US ISM non-mftg PMI

As always I wish you a good session
