to show early signs of strain from anti-government protests in Hong Kong, the

single-biggest profit centre for the two banks, when they report quarterly

earnings next week. * OIL: Oil prices declined after three straight days of gains, as gloomy

economic growth forecasts renewed concerns over the outlook for demand. O/R

* GOLD: Gold rose to a two-week high as weak U.S. economic data spurred

expectations for another interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve later this

month. * The UK blue chip index closed 0.9% higher on Thursday on strong French

manufacturing data, while a sharp rise for AstraZeneca after a 2019 forecast

upgrade and a slide in sterling amid Brexit woes also lent support. * UK CORPORATE DIARY:
