Sleep The precious metal was trading at US$4,131.30 an ounce on Tuesday, down 4.9% from $4,345.43 (£3,237) on Monday. The price of silver fared even worse, falling 6.8%.

Kathleen Brooks, research director at CPIWhich will be released later this week, may be softer than expected.

But Ms Brooks pointed out that the gold price had still not overcome Monday’s low and said the turmoil in the asset market was a sign of “healthy price action”.

“This shows that investors can’t get too ahead of themselves and there are limits to enthusiasm,” he said.

Elliot Jordan-Doke, senior UK economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, estimates borrowing will reach £126.9 billion for the financial year 2025 to 2026, well above the OBR’s March forecast of £117.7 billion.

“The material overhang…provides a difficult backdrop for the budget,” he said.

“All told, we expect the OBR to say that the Chancellor’s £9.9 billion fiscal headroom has turned into a £15 billion hole. We think the Chancellor will plug that hole, and aim for a wider £20 billion margin of headroom by increasing budget stealth, sin, pensions and wealth taxes, as well as targeting spending cuts.”

Meanwhile, Warner Bros. Discovery shares rose 11% after the company began reviewing “strategic options to maximize shareholder value” and said it would consider a sale.

However, operating more widely across the continent will still involve risks, and Coca-Cola HBC hopes these will be justified by the growth opportunities on offer.”
