Mike van Dulken and Henry Croft at Accendo Markets said: “The key data point on this shortened UK trading day will be UK Q3 GDP seen confirmed at 0.55% quarter-on-quarter and 2.3% year-on-year, the pace of growth slowing versus last quarter but accelerating over the year from 0.7%/2.1% in Q2. With Services making up around 80% of UK GDP, the index of services reading for October will provide a first suggestion of how the fourth quarter began.”

But Mike van Dulken, head of research at Accendo Markets, isn’t pleased that a rescue might take three whole months. “Risk appetite remains hampered by thinner holiday trading into Christmas as well as talk of a Monte dei Paschi bailout taking a whopping 3-months to complete, taking us well beyond a supposed 31 Dec deadline for shoring up Italy’s knackered banks. An official announcement still eludes markets which understandably want clarity on the issue.”

“Whilst an undertone of traditional year-end bullishness remains, the outstanding issue of Monte dei Paschi’s rescue, be it via bailout or recapitalization, remains a hindrance on extension of the current Santa rally,” Accendo Markets analysts Mike van Dulken and Henry Croft wrote in a note.

Michael van Dulken, at Accendo Markets, said: ‘While the clock ticks towards a Wednesday deadline for a key debt-equity swap (and year-end full recapitalisation) of MPS the Italian government has sought parliamentary approval for up to €20billion in public funds (even if it does ramp up national debt) to prop up the bank should a €5billion rescue plan collapse and state aid be required to protect borrowers and avoid a toxic cocktail of sector contagion and further political backlash.’

Analysts said that uncertainty among Italian banking shares, in particular regarding a share issue from troubled lender Monte dei Paschi (BMPS.MI), was dampening the sector. “We’re still waiting to hear whether Monte dei Paschi will be successful in that last-ditch attempt to raise the money it needs,” Mike van Dulken, head of research at Accendo Markets, said. “Until we get more clarity, the bank sector is going to be a little on edge.”
