UK GDP data: The U.K. economy slowed less than forecast in the third quarter following the Brexit vote, amid rise in services. The reading dismissed concerns about a possible fallout before the referendum. The economy expanded 0.6% in the final read, a good outcome. However, the muted effect of the Brexit vote could be explained by the long process in which the UK plans its separation from the EU. Formal talks to start the process are only due by the end of March 2017. The fourth quarter growth rate is expected to reach 0.5%. US Unemployment Claims: New claims for US unemployment benefits fell 15,000 in the second week of January hitting 234,000, The reading was better than the 252,000 forecast pulling the four-week average down to a 43-year low of 246,750. The low level of claims below 300,000 continued a nearly two-year streak. The number of new claims is expected to reach 247,000 this week.
