Fundamental Analysis
Sunak Delivers $103 Billion of Stimulus to Boost U.K. Economy • Treasury boosts forecasts for both growth and inflation • Bank of England says it may have to act to control prices U.K. Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak unleashed 75 billion pounds ($103 billion) of giveaways in a budget
