UK consumers are being stoic in the face of Brexit, according to GfK. The market research firm's consumer confidence index climbed to negative 13 from negative 14 in negative 15, despite forecasts it would fall to January. Confidence has not been affected as badly as it was after the Brexit referendum or the financial crisis in 2008, GfK said. Economic indicators, including employment and wages are positive, it added. GfK carried out its survey on behalf of the European Commission.
