<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Powell Speaks The Truth</h3>
Please <a href="https://thearorareport.com/chart-analysis-stock-powell-speech-trump-appointments-spy-mc-11152024">click here</a> for an enlarged chart of SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) which represents the benchmark stock market index S&amp;P 500 (SPX).
Note the following:
<ul>
<li>It is worth a reminder that The Arora Report is politically agnostic.&nbsp; Our sole job is to help our members extract the maximum amount of money out of the markets with the least possible risk.</li>
<li>The price action on the chart shows that the rip roaring Trump rally is taking a breather.</li>
<li>The chart shows that the stock market is still above the breakout line.</li>
<li>RSI on the chart shows that the stock market has pulled back, reflecting a loss of momentum. The stock market is still overbought.</li>
<li>The chart shows that the volume remains low.&nbsp; This indicates that institutional investors are not rushing to buy stocks.</li>
<li>Yesterday, Powell spoke that truth – the market did not like it.&nbsp; Powell said, "The economy is not sending any signals that we need to be in a hurry to lower rates."&nbsp; Powell elaborated, "The strength we are currently seeing in the economy gives us the ability to approach our decisions carefully."</li>
<li>Powell's remarks brought some selling into stocks and bonds.</li>
<li>This morning, in the early trade, selling continues.</li>
<li>The reason for some selling is that the prevailing wisdom on Wall Street has been that another rate cut in December was a sure thing.&nbsp; The Arora Report has been questioning Wall Street's wisdom and sharing with you that the data does not support another rate cut.</li>
<li>Some conservative commentators are upset believing that the reason Powell started rate cuts with a 50 bps cut was to help Kamala Harris get elected.&nbsp; Now that Trump has been elected, Powell is in no hurry to cut rates.</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, even though the data does not support a rate cut in December, Powell is going to feel pressure from Trump and Republicans to cut rates.&nbsp; There is also a significant amount of data between now and the December Fed meeting.</li>
<li>In The Arora Report analysis, based on a 360 degree view, including the political pressure and the pressure from Wall Street to cut rates, the probability of a rate cut in December is now about 60%.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
<li>There is consternation about several Trump picks.&nbsp; Impacting the market most are Trump's picks of RKF Jr, Matt Gaetz, and Pete Hegseth.&nbsp; These picks are bringing selling in vaccine makers such as Moderna Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRNA#NASDAQ">MRNA</a>), BioNTech SE ADR (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BNTX#NASDAQ">BNTX</a>), Novavax Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVAX#NASDAQ">NVAX</a>), Merck &amp; Co Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRK#NYSE">MRK</a>), and Pfizer Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PFE#NYSE">PFE</a>).&nbsp; There is also selling in other healthcare stocks, including weight loss drug companies Eli Lilly And Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LLY#NYSE">LLY</a>) and Novo Nordisk A/S (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVO#NYSE">NVO</a>), and packaged food stocks such as The Kraft Heinz Co (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KHC#NASDAQ">KHC</a>).&nbsp; There is also selling in defense stocks such as Boeing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>), Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LMT#NYSE">LMT</a>), Northrop Grumman Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOC#NYSE">NOC</a>), and Rtx Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTX#NYSE">RTX</a>).&nbsp; There is also selling in big tech stocks.</li>
<li>The latest economic data is strong.&nbsp; The U.S. economy is about 70% consumer based.&nbsp; For this reason, prudent investors pay attention to retail sales.&nbsp; Here are the details of the just released data:
<ul>
<li>Retail sales came at 0.4% vs. 0.3% consensus.</li>
<li>Retail sales ex-auto came at 0.1% vs. 0.2% consensus.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>There are hundreds of indicators.&nbsp; At The Arora Report, the system has been refined through decades of research to share with you only those indicators that matter.&nbsp; Normally, we do not mention the NY Fed Empire State Manufacturing Index.&nbsp; Today, we are mentioning it due to its exceptional strength.&nbsp; The index came at 31.2 vs. 3.3 consensus.&nbsp; This indicates that manufacturing in the New York area has picked up steam. &nbsp; If similar strength is happening in the rest of the country, that would argue against further cutting interest rates. The problem for investors is that stock valuations are so high that to sustain them, rate cuts are needed.&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Magnificent Seven Money Flows</h3>
In the early trade, money flows are positive in Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>).
In the early trade, money flows are negative in Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Alphabet Inc Class C (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>), Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>), Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>), and NVIDIA Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
In the early trade, money flows are negative in S&amp;P 500 ETF (SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Momo Crowd And Smart Money In Stocks</h3>
Investors can gain an edge by knowing money flows in SPY and QQQ.  Investors can get a bigger edge by knowing when smart money is buying stocks, gold, and oil.  The most popular ETF for gold is SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>).  The most popular ETF for silver is iShares Silver Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SLV#NYSE">SLV</a>).  The most popular ETF for oil is United States Oil ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>).
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Bitcoin</h3>
Even the slightest dips in Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) are being bought.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Protection Band And What To Do Now</h3>
It is important for investors to look ahead and not in the rearview mirror.&nbsp; The proprietary protection band from The Arora Report is very popular.&nbsp; The protection band puts all of the data, all of the indicators, all of the news, all of the crosscurrents, all of the models, and all of the analysis in an analytical framework that is easily actionable by investors.
Consider continuing to hold good, very long term, existing positions. Based on individual risk preference, consider a protection band consisting of cash or Treasury bills or short-term tactical trades as well as short to medium term hedges and short term hedges. This is a good way to protect yourself and participate in the upside at the same time.
You can determine your protection bands by adding cash to hedges.&nbsp; The high band of the protection is appropriate for those who are older or conservative. The low band of the protection is appropriate for those who are younger or aggressive.&nbsp; If you do not hedge, the total cash level should be more than stated above but significantly less than cash plus hedges.
A protection band of 0% would be very bullish and would indicate full investment with 0% in cash.&nbsp; A protection band of 100% would be very bearish and would indicate a need for aggressive protection with cash and hedges or aggressive short selling.
It is worth reminding that you cannot take advantage of new upcoming opportunities if you are not holding enough cash.&nbsp; When adjusting hedge levels, consider adjusting partial stop quantities for stock positions (non ETF); consider using wider stops on remaining quantities and also allowing more room for high beta stocks.&nbsp; High beta stocks are the ones that move more than the market.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Traditional 60/40 Portfolio</h3>
Probability based risk reward adjusted for inflation does not favor long duration strategic bond allocation at this time.
Those who want to stick to traditional 60% allocation to stocks and 40% to bonds may consider focusing on only high quality bonds and bonds of five year duration or less.&nbsp; Those willing to bring sophistication to their investing may consider using bond ETFs as tactical positions and not strategic positions at this time.
The Arora Report is known for its accurate calls. The Arora Report correctly called the big artificial intelligence rally before anyone else, the new bull market of 2023, the bear market of 2022, new stock market highs right after the virus low in 2020, the virus drop in 2020, the DJIA rally to 30,000 when it was trading at 16,000, the start of a mega bull market in 2009, and the financial crash of 2008.

President Yoon Suk Yeol and Chinese President Xi Jinping held their first talks in two years in Peru on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit to discuss bilateral ties and regional issues.
The two leaders are expected to discuss various measures to facilitate economic cooperation, culture and people-to-people exchanges and share in-depth opinions on regional security, according to Yoon's office.
Among likely agenda items is North Korea's troop deployment to Russia in support of its war in Ukraine, which has caused concerns over broader security implications on the Korean Peninsula.
In an interview with Spanish news agency EFE on Thursday, Yoon said Seoul will continue maintaining "strategic dialogue" with China to encourage it to play a role in promoting regional stability.
Amid a deepening military alignment between Pyongyang and Moscow, Beijing recently included South Korea on the list of temporary visa waiver countries. Seoul welcomed the move, voicing hope that it will help further promote "friendly sentiment" between the two neighbors.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

(UNH) - Analyzing UnitedHealth Group's Short Interest

According to Circana, a market research company, sales of ultra-large TVs – 97 inches and bigger – have gone up by 877% in the last year, while prices have dropped by 53%.&nbsp;
More than 70% of Best Buy&#8217;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BBY#NYSE">BBY</a>) stores in the United States now feature these ultra-large TVs, making it simpler to see and buy them. XXL TVs are also available at retailers like Target, Walmart and Costco.

</ul>
The popularity of these big TVs is due to better technology, cheaper production and more consumer interest. As CNN reports, during the pandemic, many people bought 65-inch TVs to make staying at home more fun and now, a few years later, many are ready to upgrade to even bigger screens.
Price is one of the biggest drivers of this behavior. A year ago, 98-inch TVs were seen as <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36575301/this-massive-137-inch-foldable-tv-is-futuristic-luxurious-and-out-of-most-peoples-reach">luxury items</a>, but now they are available for prices between $1,699 and $2,999 and many stores offer free delivery and installation. Prices for TVs between 75 and 96 inches have also come down, though not as much – they are down by about 6%, with sales increasing by 19%. Meanwhile, XXL TVs are becoming more common.
With more price options, it&#8217;s easier for people to invest in a home theater-like experience.&nbsp;
Trending: The global games market is projected to generate $272B by the end of the year –<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/gameflip"> for $0.55/share, this VC-backed startup with a 7M+ userbase gives investors easy access to this asset market.</a>
The appeal of XXL TVs is not just because of their size; it's also about their features. Brands like Samsung (OTCPK: SSNLF) and LG have added new technology, like multi-view modes, which let you split the screen into four parts to watch different things at the same time. This is fantastic for sports enthusiasts who like to follow several games. Some TVs also use AI to enhance picture quality, which results in a more enjoyable viewing experience.
However, the appeal of XXL TVs isn't just for movies and sports but also <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36594962/netflix-games-download-surge-by-180-signaling-success-in-gaming-expansion">for gamers</a> because these big screens have features like low input lag, high refresh rates and support for the latest gaming consoles. Better sound quality, with features like Dolby Atmos, makes the experience more enjoyable and immersive.
If you're unsure if these big TVs will fit in your living room, tools like Best Buy's AR Viewer can help you see how a 97-inch TV will look in your space before buying it.

The rise in XXL TV sales has boosted the industry, which has had some struggles recently. With higher costs due to inflation, people have been more careful about spending money on big purchases. Nevertheless, Corie Barry, the CEO of Best Buy, stated that when customers realize the advantages, they are still prepared to spend money on expensive goods. With their more affordable costs and superior features, XXL TVs appear to be a good fit.
Paul Gagnon, from consumer research firm Circana, noted that this trend is similar to what happened a few years ago with 65-inch TVs: People upgraded for a better viewing experience and now they're upgrading again for even larger screens. This trend toward bigger TVs is expected to continue through 2025, as more people replace their pandemic-era TVs with newer, larger models.
If you are considering an upgrade, now seems like a good time. Prices are dropping, features are improving and XXL TVs are easier to find. The trend toward bigger screens will continue, creating better home entertainment options.

Teledyne Controls, a subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TDY#NYSE">TDY</a>) and a provider&nbsp;of avionics and aircraft data management solutions, has announced that its new Airborne Data Loader has received certification for the Boeing Company (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BA#NYSE">BA</a>)<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/11/b42006590/teledynes-new-generation-onboard-secure-data-loader-eadl-xs-certified-on-boeing-737ng-aircraft" rel="noreferrer noopener"> 737NG aircraft series.</a>

&#8220;As aircraft continue to integrate powerful new systems and networks into their design, the software distribution process becomes more complex, opening more opportunities for cybersecurity attacks,&#8221; said Mehrdad Radmehr, President of Teledyne Controls.
The certification for the 737NG underscores Teledyne&#8217;s commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions that enhance both the safety and efficiency of aviation operations.
The eADL XS is designed to simplify the upgrade process for operators, serving as a plug-and-play replacement for existing data loaders.
With this new certification for the Boeing 737NG and plans to extend the technology to other aircraft models, Teledyne&#8217;s eADL XS is set to revolutionize onboard data management and offer a higher level of cybersecurity for the aviation industry.

My partner and I have been managing client's assets each for over 37 years. Throughout our investing careers, there have been times when certain assets captivate the imagination, earn the trust, and yes, even the hype of investors like few things can. The Dot-Com Bubble, the Tulip Mania, the Pet Rock and Beanie Babies are a few things that come to mind.
 Bitcoin and gold are two of the most recent popular "alternative" investments that many investors are turning to, and which many refer to as a safe haven. Now I'm not saying that the Beanie Baby craze was a perceived safe haven but all of these "investments" have something in common, namely, they are worth only what someone is willing to pay for them. 
In the case of Bitcoin and gold, their appeal largely stems from the perception that they're inflation-proof or crisis-resistant but their value is truly only based on what the next person is willing to pay for it. Think about this for a moment, what is the book value, growth rate, earnings or dividend yield for either of these assets? Since obviously neither of these have them, how does one value them? Bitcoin has often been called "digital gold," implying that it offers the same stability, value- retention, and inflation resistance as its physical counterpart. However, this comparison misses some key issues:
<ol>
<li>Bitcoin's Extreme Volatility: this is one of the biggest drawbacks of Bitcoin. Over the past few years, Bitcoin's price has swung dramatically from $20,000 in late 2017 to below $4,000 in early 2019, then to highs of over $60,000 in 2021, only to drop again to under $16,000 in 2022 and then hit an all-time high after the recent election of almost $90,000. While price swings are natural for any asset, Bitcoin's fluctuations are particularly extreme, making it unpredictable and unreliable as a safe-haven asset.</li>
<li>Regulatory Uncertainty: Bitcoin along with all crypto currencies, remain under significant regulatory scrutiny worldwide. Governments and financial institutions are increasingly examining how to regulate cryptocurrencies due to concerns over security, taxation, and environmental impact. With the recent increase in regulations surrounding cryptocurrency trading and mining, Bitcoin&#8217;s future is less certain than ever. Regulatory changes can significantly impact Bitcoin's value, which undermines its reliability as a long-term investment. President-elect Trump seems to be a proponent of Bitcoin so regulations might be easing but remember, eventually a new administration will take over from him and if they aren't believers or supporters watch out.</li>
<li>Environmental Concerns: Bitcoin mining consumes a massive amount of electricity, much of which comes from non-renewable sources. The cryptocurrency's environmental impact has become a subject of major concern, with some countries even banning mining activities. As global attention on climate change intensifies and the energy demands of AI continue to rise, Bitcoin's energy-intensive nature could eventually curtail its appeal in an era of advancing sustainable technology.</li>
<li>Limited Use Case Beyond Speculation: Unlike gold, which has industrial applications and is used in jewelry, Bitcoin's utility outside speculative investment is limited. While some argue it could become a universal currency, that dream remains far from reality primarily because of the aforementioned reasons.</li>
</ol>
While we have focused on Bitcoin above, much of what we have written applies to any cyber- currency or digital asset. Gold has long been considered a safe-haven asset, particularly during times of inflation or market turbulence. While gold is far more established than Bitcoin, it also comes with its own set of issues that potential investors should consider.
<ol>
<li>Gold's Limited Returns: Historically, gold tends to underperform compared to stocks over the long term. During extended bull markets, stocks and other investments often provide much higher returns than gold. Since gold does not pay dividends or interest, it relies solely on price appreciation for gains, meaning whatever the next person is willing to pay for it, which can make it less appealing in a high-growth environment. For investors seeking returns, stocks or real estate may be better long-term investments.</li>
<li>Correlation with Inflation: Gold is often touted as an "inflation hedge," but its performance against inflation has been inconsistent. While it sometimes retains its value during periods of high inflation, gold's value is still influenced by numerous factors, including interest rates, currency strength, and investor sentiment. As a result, gold does not always rise in value when inflation is high. For example, in the early 1980s, when inflation surged, gold prices actually fell significantly from over $800/oz to $360/oz by 1986.</li>
<li>Storage and Security Costs: Storing physical gold safely comes with additional costs, whether through purchasing a safe or renting a secure storage facility. Even "paper gold" investments like gold ETFs often come with management fees as well as something called "contango" which is basically the selling of expiring futures contracts that the ETF holds, instead of actually holding physical gold, and replacing them with a different set of futures contracts that expire further down the line. Over the course of time, "contango" along with the other expenses can eat away at your returns making gold a less efficient store of value than it might seem on the surface.</li>
<li>Political and Economic Risks: Much of the world's gold is mined in politically unstable regions, which can impact supply and, ultimately, prices. Additionally, governments can (and have) restricted gold ownership or confiscated gold during crises. For instance, during the Great Depression, the U.S. government issued an executive order forbidding private ownership of gold, which restricted citizens&#8217; access to their own gold reserves. While Bitcoin and gold can play a role in a diversified investment portfolio, neither asset is a "magic bullet" for financial security.</li>
</ol>
Bitcoin and gold have undeniable appeal as alternative assets. The technological allure of Bitcoin and the timeless significance of gold make them compelling choices for investors. However, neither is foolproof. Bitcoin's volatility and regulatory challenges, along with gold's inconsistent performance against inflation and additional costs, make them less than ideal as the "safe havens" they're often portrayed to be. 
The best way to protect wealth is to build a balanced, diversified portfolio that aligns with your financial goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon. Instead of putting all your faith in "alternative" assets, focus on strategies that have consistently proven effective over time. That's the real key to navigating financial uncertainty—without being swept up in the craze.

The British <a href="https://europeancapitalinsights.substack.com/p/british-economy-slows-on-lackluster?r=3nmatg">economy expanded less than forecast</a> in the third quarter as the service sector and budget concerns slowed momentum.&nbsp;
Gross domestic product (GDP) grew by 0.1% for the quarter, compared with growth of 0.5% in Q2, data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) <a href="https://www.ons.gov.uk/economy/grossdomesticproductgdp/bulletins/gdpmonthlyestimateuk/september2024" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">showed</a> on Friday. That compared with <a href="https://tradingeconomics.com/united-kingdom/calendar" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">economists' expectations of 0.3%</a> for Q3.&nbsp;
"The economy grew a little in the latest quarter overall as the recent slowdown in growth continued," Liz McKeown, Director of Economic Statistics at ONS, <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://x.com/ONS/status/1857317675183087961">said</a>. "Generally, growth was subdued across most industries in the latest quarter."
The services sector, which accounts for 79% of the UK's GDP, rose only 0.1%, weighing on the UK GDP as technical activities and wholesale and retail trade showed marginal improvements. Business-facing services saw no growth.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">British Economy Hurt By Manufacturing Contraction</h3>
The British economy contracted by 0.1% in September month-on-month, <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://tradingeconomics.com/united-kingdom/calendar">missing forecasts of a 0.1%</a> expansion. Services on a monthly basis showed "no growth," McKeown said, adding that "production fell overall, driven by manufacturing," <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://tradingeconomics.com/united-kingdom/calendar">with a contraction of 1%</a>.
The weak data underlines the challenges that the Labour Party faces as it tries to revive economic growth. Industrial production contracted by 0.5% in September, missing forecasts of 0.2% growth month-on-month.
The British pound fell to the lowest level against the dollar since early July, extending a five-day decline to $1.2629. The pound has been weighed down by fears of trade escalation and poor relations with the US under President-elect Donald Trump.&nbsp;
British Foreign Secretary David Lammy <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2024/nov/08/david-lammy-dismisses-past-criticism-donald-trump-old-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">has described</a> Trump as "deluded, dishonest, xenophobic, narcissistic" and a "neo-Nazi-sympathizing sociopath."
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Slow British Economy Growth Brings Rate Cut On Table</h3>
The latest UK GDP figures have shifted the focus on the Bank of England's (BoE) monetary policy trajectory. The BoE lowered interest rates on November 6 by 0.25 percentage points to 4.75%, the second cut this year.&nbsp;
"We shouldn&#8217;t overthink the GDP numbers we've been getting recently," ING <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://think.ing.com/snaps/uk-growth-slows-considerably-in-the-third-quarter/">said</a>. "The Bank of England has made it abundantly clear that it's not putting much weight on them. Barring any downside surprises, we think the next move in December is a pause, before another rate cut in February.&#8221;
Most economists broadly expect a hold on December 19, when the Monetary Policy Committee meets next. But some argue that the UK GDP data make a solid case for a rate cut.&nbsp;
The data "are likely to open the door" to cuts before year's end, Wealth Club investment manager, Isaac Stell, said. If growth slows again, there is a "good chance" of cuts, University of Liverpool Management School Professor, Costas Milas, said.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Labour Faces Challenges Spurring British Economy</h3>
Chancellor Rachel Reeves has made improving GDP at "the heart of everything." The budget "tackled" public finances and greater public investment "in our plan for economic growth," Reeves <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/mansion-house-2024-speech">said</a> on November 14.&nbsp;
The fiscal plan will provide "economic stability" by putting "our public finances back on a firm footing," she said.&nbsp; "Instability in our public finances leads to instability in our financial markets. That is not good for investment."
The government increased taxes<a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.politico.eu/article/britain-budget-tax-increase-growth-rachel-reeves-keir-starmer-uk-labour-party-treasury/"> by £40 billion</a><a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.ft.com/content/3a7d0c5c-81ba-4879-9289-5c94a120a1aa"> </a>to repair public finances and<a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.ft.com/content/3a7d0c5c-81ba-4879-9289-5c94a120a1aa"> improve public services</a>.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">British Economy Faces ‘Big Risks' in Budget</h3>
Reeves has argued that the tax hikes, aimed at the wealthiest, are necessary to sustain investments in healthcare, education, and infrastructure. However, the director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS), <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://ifs.org.uk/articles/budget-was-non-event-and-kicked-big-decisions-down-road">Paul Johnson</a>, warned of "big risks lurking" in the budget.&nbsp;

"Not all of the extra borrowing, by any means, was for investment spending."
The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR) cautioned on October 30 that rising government debt levels could put upward pressure on inflation.
