  • UK Construction PMI fell to 52.8 from 53.4 in November, broadly in line with the consensus expectation of 52.9, though businesses struck a more upbeat tone for the coming year despite Brexit uncertainty delaying commercial projects.
  • "Subdued domestic economic conditions and an intense headwind from political uncertainty resulted in the weakest upturn in commercial work for seven months," IHS Markit economist Tim Moore said.
  • Businesses in the much larger services sector reported the slowest sales growth in two years during the final three months of 2018, another sign of a slowing economy ahead of Brexit, the British Chambers of Commerce reported earlier on Thursday.
