In the week ahead, the U.K. will release its preliminary GDP data for the third quarter and China will release its October credit data (Friday). Markets are also expecting lower October inflation prints in both Germany and China (Wednesday) while Japan's September wage data (Monday) will be important for its medium-term inflation outlook.
