UK Chancellor Reeves is facing serious headwinds. Business confidence has plummeted to near-record lows following the Budget announcement. The data paints a grim picture - companies are clearly spooked by the fiscal measures rolled out. This kind of sentiment drop doesn't happen in isolation. When business leaders lose confidence, it ripples through investment decisions, hiring plans, and ultimately market stability. Worth watching how this plays out in the coming quarters, especially for risk assets.

The pound is in for a tough time; Reeves' budget plan has directly driven business confidence to rock bottom. We'll really have to see how to rescue the situation moving forward...

It's the same old trick again; once the budget is released, the companies run away. They won't be playing people for suckers again, will they?

The pound is about to suffer again, business confidence is plummeting... This move is indeed likely to scare off investors.

The UK Chancellor's move is a bit harsh, with corporate confidence falling like this... we need to see how it ends, and we have to be cautious with risk assets.
