•   Britain's economy unexpectedly contracted in January, with the gross domestic product falling 0.1% versus expectations of a 0.1% monthly expansion.

• Manufacturing output dropped 1.1% in January, led by poor performance in the metals and pharmaceutical sectors, while the broader industrial sector was also impacted by a decline in oil and gas extraction.
